Why exactly? Why should pro OS4 portals be ignored? I am not much fan of completely biased forums either, and will probably not join it. But the fact is that there is plenty of people who want such a forum, and i am sure those would welcome such news.
I think it is wrong to ignore it just because you dont agree with it.

But anyways.. I talked to amigaworld peeps and it seems like they closed it on mistake..

Well, someone had sufficient reason to lock it but didn't post to justify it, hence it's unlocked again. I have no problem with this site's existence but I have a huge problem with the fact that I and other moderators have been receiving torrents of abuse from certain members. Those members are very well known trolls that got the boot from AW.net for a very good reason that has nothing to do with being red, blue or pink with black spots for that matter, but it seems that that reason got lost in the sands of time... and they got allowed into that website even if trolls aren't supposed to be welcome there.

In other words, it's formed on exactly the same elitist, isolationist principles that AmigaWorld.net was formed on in the first place. A place for all the red-faction hate-mongers and superiority complexes can post whatever they like without the risk of being challenged or having to explain themselves.


Exactly. The inevitable Glasnost finally purged AW.net of the Least Suitable "Moderators" Imaginable, so they're off to build their Brand New Sealed Off Utopia for whom the "Supreme Council" (sic!) deems are True Amigans. #### the users and the community, the sole purpose of the user rabble is to "promote" (sic!) certain arbitrarily selected companies and trademarks.

Do such perversions really need to be advertised on sites like this, which indeed are intended to serve us, the community (licences and trademarks and disagreements be damned)?

Believe it or not there are people hat simply have no intrest in Morphos, Efika, pegasos, aros, or anything else, they are simply interested in AOS and the "official" solution, and we are demonized for that.
People that just want to inhabit the boards and not put up with insults such as " Blind, name follwers, racist, apathied, bigots, zealots, and many others. So far we have been called most of those so far, plus a few others.
And somehow, we are the badguys because we dont want to put up with that?
There is definately a few people in this thread who should take a long hard look at themselves before they go around throwing stones. It is these people that have made such a move necessary.

Do we feel persecuted? Probably many of us do, but instead of making issue of it we go somewhere else to avoid the conflict and just look what we get?  Of course thiswould not be such a problem if the moderator did thier jobs and moderated these kinds of isulting postings. The lack thereof is no more evident than these comments.Talk about rock and a hard place and damned if you do damned if you dont.

Lets not forget "Nazi, Isolationist and Elitist"
Look like we can add communist by the looks of that picture or perhaps dictatorial oppressionists.Oh AND

Don't be silly. This has nothing at all to do with different operating systems or people's preferences.

MOD EDIT is totally redundant in that aspect. AOS4 issues can be and are discussed here on amiga.org, and on AW.net there are even dedicated fora for that specific version.

MOD EDIT was created because Mikey_C and the rest of his fanatical cult of control freaks couldn't stand seeing actual DISCUSSION or people disagreeing with what these few fanatics defined as the official set of "True Amigan" opinions. I repeat: it had nothing to do with "not being able to discuss OS4", because that is patently untrue.

If they just wanted a completely normal user support and discussion forum for one particular operating system, they wouldn't be banning (pre-emptively banning, even!) people and moderating posts based on opinions.

There's nothing normal or sane about that site. It's a ######## with a phobia for reality and sane reasoning. Real actual debate, or even the slightest deviation from what AInc's or their licensees' PR said the last time, is cunningly mislabelled as "trolling". It's a destillation of everything that used to be wrong and sick with AW.net. It's a complete joke, and a rather sad one at that.

Well seeing as I have been lumped in to a "fanatical cult of control freaks" and "fanatic" I think I can say with much more authority than you can about what we can and can not stand. Call me part of a "circle-jerking cult with a phobia for reality and sane reasoning" if you will. The fact is you are transposing your personal dislike of Mickey_C and perhaps even of the "Amiga Inc. and/or partners" onto us.
That you have no intrest in this site is your affair, you are welcome not to like it, to disagree with the reasons behind it and so on.But, like I have been told many times before, if you dont like it, dont have any interest in it, you can simply ignore the post\news item. The same as we have been told many times before relating to other OS's and hardware.
But do you? no. You come in and post a heap of insults and tell ME, one of the persons in that community, what my opinions reason and attitudes are, even when they are contradictory to what I have previously told you. Not only that, but you continue to throw insults, swear and deride me, my chosen community, my chosen solution\interest.

YOU and those like you, are the reason we want a place free of this kind of crap, becuase if we stay here our points of view are contantly treated with the same respect as we have been shown in this thread. No civility, no tolerance, plenty of insults and "persecution" and no moderators doing thier job and putting a stop to it.
You and people like you make it intolerable to stay, and ironicly enough, it is you who is most vehement in your attacks when we choose to go elsewhere.

Quite frankly if this turns out to be the case, then the site will not likely survive. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but I have not seen evidence that this is true as yet.

Anyway, just look at our two postings, which of us is the most intolerant, close minded, insulting and like to cause trouble? I notice you still have the link to the Amigans containing swear words and insults.

Despite the protestations of innocence and virtue, you can almost smell the insincerity in that post. Why do you expect to be able to promote your intolerance all over the Amiga forums and not attract criticism is beyond me.

You can always go back to the protection of your hole in the ground and not read any of the reactions elsewhere - that way you won't be offended or bothered by them Isn't that the very purpose of your existence.

How long before the rabid zealotry fades away from the new forum too, and Mikey_C, you and the rest splinter off to start yet another forum dedicated to the still unreleased OS$ and defunct AmigaOne?

This is what's been destroying the Amiga for years - it's ironic that the Amiga's worst enemies are those who most loudly profess to defend it.

Oh, and if you don't like this comment feel free not to read it!   :lol:

Come on people. If you don't like the ones that created amigans.net then you should be happy that they have their own site now. If you like the way amiga.org or amigaworld.net is then what's the problem? These sites won't change because amigans.net exists. It's good to have choice.

It's bleeping great. The lunatics built their own asylum, doors lock from the inside and they control the keys....best move evah! :-D

On a stranger note...it's surprising to see someone like Rogue falling for this. I know he's joined TehR43lSite.N3t and last post I saw on AWN was about unsubscribing and leaving...of course it has been threatened before by both of the twins.

So I am the intolerant one?

1. I have not insulted anyone who supports morphos, genesi efika windows linus or any other hardware\software computer solution.

2. I have not haranged or made life difficult for those with different views.

3. I have not given anyone a hard time because they choose to join a different website.

4. I have not insulted anyone, cussed or cursed the website that people decide to support, or generalized in an insulting or derogative manner those who choose to support a different website.

Now, just look at those that have done so IN THIS THREAD, then ask yourself who is the intolerant one.

It is true I am intolerant. I am intolerant to slander, insults, cussing, cursing, flaming, baiting and the otherwise rude and agressive behaviour that it so prevalent. However, as far as other os's and hardware solutions go, I don't give two hoots about them, I dont deride them for thier choices, nor do I expect to be derided for mine. However, such derision not only happens, but is encouraged by the moderators continuing to allow it to happen, making this place not the happy "community" it tries to convince everyone it is.

Now you dont like a website that has an aggressive stance on preventing this kind of behaviour from happening (and I garuntee it is not AOS supporters that are deriding us AOS supporters) then thats just too bad. Dont visit and we will both be happy.

@yak
the most sensible post of the entire thread.

You've bashed me right here on AO in the past and it went unmoderated, yet you are insinuating that you are unduly attacked in this thread? Wow.

Putting all that aside, while some of this thread is heated I don't see any specific personal attacks against individuals. If I am wrong and I missed anything feel free to PM a moderator with specific information.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!
