Statement From Bill McEwen on Thendic-Amiga

[Trezzer]

Well, sometimes the truth hurts.
Somehow I think this will be my last post here.

The site is great, but with so much bias which is showing pretty much everywhere, it just doesn't have much to do with what it used to.  

It's kinda scary to think about the Kernel Wars times as "the good ol' days", but they were GREAT compared to today.

Well, in any case I guess this is actually the second round of the aforementioned wars.

I can't blame people for taking sides. I've chosen my side from technical preferences as well as personal. However I don't feel like there's much reason for me to keep coming back here. Even ANN is more neutral than here.

"Thanks", Genesi.

vince: cheating and decive is the way to go , atleast thats what we are led to belive theese days , first say 1 thing...then do it totally opposite and walk around it for years and years and just light up the fire..

@lempkee

Please stop trolling.

[Paul_Gadd]

Small community, untrustworthy companies, lies, scams, more lies, all Amiga/related companies MUST be ignored all together and just buy the product if you like it.

So the world may know these companies suck.

My status reached Cult Member during this, ironic isnt it? :roflmao:

@ACEFNQ
 
Somehow I doubt there will be any possibilities of agreeing
on a joint statement from this community to the companies
involved.
 
But I agree it's a nice idea. By all means, post your ideas
(i.e.  as a proper thread and not deep down among the
comments where noone can see it) over a few different
sites and hear what people say. Miracles do happen from
time to time. :-)

Correct, although it doesn't stop a person with DB write access from overwriting the row entirely with their own password.

@bbrv

Thanks for the clarification, the situation is as I thought it was.

@thread

Chill. Its not worth it.

I don't believe for a minute that the site was hacked and the password accessed.  Please carry through with your threat to leave.

You said that too strong, you know it. Reword it without the insults and it won't be edited.

@ LordOfCommunity,

Kees, he's right. Wayne and Redrumloa have become puppets of Genesi.

Everyone, including you, has the right to their own opinions.  I respect that.  I also respectfully disagree with your statement above.  Wayne has effectively stepped down from his position on this site.  He's not a puppet, he simply works for Genesi.

... realize that you can't force amiga users to become MorphOS minded

We're not trying to force anyone to become anything.

Banning Ray won't help either Wayne.

As far as I know, Ray was banned because he violated the acceptable use policy of this site.  Whomever banned him did not enjoy it.  The action was simply a matter of policy.  If I am wrong, then I stand corrected in advance, and I apologize in advance.

So if you really like the amiga then you should hand over your site to Kees. Not just add another webmaster.

The site is already handed over to Kees and the team of moderators.

Kees is the only moderator left on amiga.org which makes this site still enjoyable.

I don't work for Genesi.  I don't work for Amiga.  I am an I.S. consultant currently working in the IT department of an insurance and financial services company (Northwestern Mutual to be exact).  If that is not neutral, then I don't know what is.  I have never moderated any posts in any forums, mainly because I don't have the time to take part in the sparring back and forth due to taking care of my 3 month old daughter.  Again, you are entitled to your opinion.  I am a moderator here.  Please realize that what you type can be hurtful to others.

@all,
Let's all get along please!  :-)

I will step back into the shadows now as I refuse to take part in any more of the sparring than this post already does.  Thank you for your time.

I gotta point out, that I was the messanger that was shot over how angry some people are about Amiga.org.

[Argo]

What? Who call us Mormons?

Well it was only rocksalt that was shot at you, and we cleaned the wounds :lol:

Indeed. Considering where this claim comes from and who is making it, I think it can be discounted out of hand.

Some people will stoop to any level of dishonesty and lies to promote their cause, and Mikey_C is one of them, as a quick browse through his posts on that other website will reveal.

Anyway, I thought he and his friends had already "left" Amiga.org when they accused it of being owned by Genesi (which is an accusation Mikey_C continues to make).

Thats OK I needed something to put on my chips
