Fleecy: Round 3

[System]

@slim

While I'll agree that it's not news, you are misreading it.  The "Fleecy Fluff Weekly" article contained nothing but "coming soon" responses, NOT that the article itself is coming soon.

I'll bite, just how much logistics does it take to call a OEM order x amount and then swap out the BIOS and add a boing ball sticker?

You are confusing Alan Redhouse for Fleecy.

Oh yeah, I wouldn't minimize Hyperions workload on the BIOS btw. I would minimize Fleecy though, he has nothing to do with Eyetech/Hyperion's labor other than license the name. Actually Bill Mc probably signed those papers..

What does Fleecy do again?

Well, even if You are good at things You do (gfx, code, music and so on) to create something REALY good You need eternity. Give them time!

Agreed. But my point is that it looks a bit stupid that those t-shirt business is still not taken care of. It allready is like this for some time and similair answers have been given before.

It makes them look like me with my bucket on, a bit stupid.

Having seen an identical post made by asian1 on
amiga.com a couple of days ago, I pretty sure he posted
this as sort of a joke reflecting the fact that before
fleecy's answers get posted, the questions have
"ANSWERS COMING SOON" witten under them. I think he
just forgot the trailing smiley.
 
The Q&A being fluff is an opinion (or a rant), not a news
item.  
If that's how you interpreted this post I am surprised you
didn't moderate it to be more objective. A news posting
should not have any obvious opinion of the poster (unless
that is the whole point of the post, such as with a
review). Opinions are what the comments are for.

Hi Coder,

I bought into the Amiga Club and this Party Pack deal that they had.   I doubt it's hard for them to create a logo and place it on a t-shirt.    I am much more interested in AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS and coming versions of Tao-Group's Intent (tm) which AmigaDE is based.

If you want to make a cool Amiga t-shirt, mug, mousepad, etc then  check out http://www.cafepress.com .   Just supply them with the proper image and you can make all the t-shirts you want, even just one!

I wonder why Amiga doesn't just use Cafe Press?  It only takes minutes to do! ..well okay, minus making the logos/artwork.

I realize it's a lot of work to moderate a site. But if you
just tried to subtly say "do it yourself if you think you're
so good", I am not feeling the least guilty, rather insulted. I
do post news here whenever they come by me. I do not
have time to actively moderate. In this case I tried to help
by pointing out an angle you might had missed. If you
disagree with my interpretation, say so, instead of taking
the cynical route as soon as it is given.
 
If I misunderstood you attitude, I apologize in advance.

Wayne himself does not have time to moderate everything himself, he leaves that up to his staff. If you think There is something innapropriate that needs moderating, the best course of action would be to PM the appropriate moderator.At the moment I don't see the old who's who, but JamesR comes to mind as news moderator. If you don't get satisfaction with a moderator move up the ladder to a webmaster. Targhan and Kent come to mind.

If I misunderstood you attitude, I apologize in advance.

I think you misunderstood. Just understand no matter what you do someone will take pop shots at you, and everyone has suggestions. Wayne can't field everyone himself, that's why he has staff:-P He's offering you a job, why would that be an insult :-o

What never ceases to amaze me is the cheap cynicism. One minute people are demanding a public forum to pose questions, the next they are dismissing the responses because they don't like them.

Will you please try to make a logical argument?
You say we must either accept lack of communication or the answers they give.....how is that logical?

A community can both demand communication and demand real progress.....its not either/or, BOTH can be demanded at once.
