Well, this hit me like a Gamma bomb.

Very understandable, though. If I don't come back for a couple of days, it's a major job catching up on what's gone by (and I miss not being here a couple days, too). It's so busy here and you do so much more than just read posts to "catch up" on the goings on. And the pay sucks too, I'll bet. But, how can you measure that warm fuzzy feeling?

What's left to say that hasn't been?

If this was a pc x86 thing, you'd be written up in magazines. You have a website running for near as long as the internet (recognized in its' present form) was in peoples bedrooms, and now livingrooms and in fact everywhere, almost. The web site is half as old as the computer itself, and must be high in the oldest sites list.

There are other great Amiga sites too, but this is about this one.

The diverse topics that can and are discussed here, impresses me. And, this IS a computer website, so that says alot.

So, I'd say you made an A1 site here, but it's an opinion, my opinon. Dare I say legend?

In closing, I greatly appreciate that there was a person like you around, who was willing to put up with the turmoil of an on again/off again saga of a "mere" electronic device, and in an unmeasurable amount, are helping save it from dissolution which does not deserve to be its' fate.


Thank You Wayne Hunt. (Others share this opinion, don't know how many though :-D.)

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

I just hope this site dosent turn into AmigaIncWorld.org .... I doubt it will though... it has its roots in the 'moderate' non-name-worshipping ground...

Man, if any announcement could bring the lurkers out of the woodwork, this would be it.  And it's done just that.  

Thank you for Amiga.org, Wayne.  This is the best Amiga related forum on the 'net, bar none.

Wayne,
I want to say thank you for all the time that you have put into Amiga.org and reminding us, even when things went south, to keep the dream alive.
All our best to you and your family.

Sincerly,

@ Wayne

Hope all goes well in your new adventure. Change is good sometimes. I hope this is one of those times for you. The creation of Amiga.org has been one of the few good things to happen to the amiga community and we owe you a big thank you!

Spiffy :-)

Wayne,

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication that you've put in to Amiga.org over the years through the good times and the bad. I'm sorry to hear that you are taking a step back and time out from Amiga.org but I'm sure we'll see you around.

In all, thanks for creating and helping to maintain such a focial point for the Amiga community. Your efforts, I'm sure, will continue long into the future.

Thanks,

Norm  :-D

Many thanks for all the work you`ve done over the years.

The Community needed Amiga.Org to have a place to flame one another  :flame:   :-)

Seriously though. All the best for the future. We all need time to smell the roses.
