and the cycle continues...
...I left AO about 3 years ago for that very reason, and came back (to discover sanity restored, happily!) when work prevented me from logging in to AW. I dont often get back there apart from brief dialups but OS/CPU flames does seem to be the main order of business when not discussing problems.
meh, I'll give amigans.net a go, see how it is - everyone deserves a look afterall!
-edit-
doh! it'll have to wait till tonight! I gave my home email, and work wont let me connect to that either!

Talking about tolerance...why can't some guys ignore the 1-2% of Genesi news? Does anybody force them to read them?


Probably since Mikey C said AWN is GenesiWorld.net.

And accused the site owners of being bribed by bbrv.  :lol: He should make sure to check the above "Amiga persecution complex" link.  :-D

All of this SO has a familiar ring to it. The only difference is that DaveyD was never really a rabid zealot.  Simply a guy who saw the opportunity to run a site and FWIW, I think he's doing a good job at AW.

Mikey C strikes again.  :)

I just wonder how long it is until everyone else comes to their senses and goes back to real sites and Mikey C ends up talking to himself.

BTW, no one's mentioned it in this thread, but the TOS over at Amigans.net is at least honest if not outright filled with platform bigotry and intolerance.  

Summarized, "We own this world, think like we do, suckle at the Amiga Inc teet, or we will ban you instantly -- in some cases before you even sign up -- without notice or warning."

Look guys, I have no problems with supporting Amiga Inc, but that kind of blind viewpoint is just downright scary.  Makes me wonder if I look at the site's logo long enough, will the lines converge to reveal a swastika?

Check the facts instead of making up things.

What has that to do with what i said? It seems to be you who are making up things, as i have never ever said anything about amigaworld being paid for being more "blue" than amiga.org. I did not even claim now that this was a bad thing. The fact is that there is more "blue" news there than it is here currently. I know this because i visit both sites everyday.
I for one like it better now than when it was completely red.

See the part that I quoted, it's really that simple.
There isn't "alot of genesi news posted on the frontpage". Or does 1-2% really amount to "a lot"?

Again you misunderstood. I was just saying that amigaworld.net seems to have become more blue as of lately than this site. Even though this was not the case before.

Perhaps you dont know but you can run some Amiga apps in Morphos. So if you are a true genuine "Amigan" but want to run a genuine Amiga application faster and does so on a Pegasos are you in the blue or red camp then?

Its like it is 1998 again and hardcore amiga nerds threatens to kill you if you mention you have a PC (almost happened to me), although now it is Amiga-like operating systems. How pathetic.

And if it is a war it must be so frustrating to see that MorphOS have been out there for years and fresh PPC hardware too, and not just a single motherboard but two and now three boards with some Amiga compatibility, and new ones are comming.. haha 2 bad 4 u if you are too red then..  :lol:

I am interested in both to be honest. I am more of a OS4 person, but the new efika has definitely made me interested. If MorphOS is bundled with it soon, then i might seriously considering getting one.
