It proabably down while they put those stupid snowflakes back on the website like they do every winter.

I presume they have the beginner plan at Hard Hat Hosting.  That's US Dollars 24.95 a month, a sizable number of evil snowmen apps..

Thats funny because right after the hyperion announcement someone on amiga roundtable mentioned amiga.com would be a 404 error page within weeks...
 
Maybe Silly Billy couldn't sell enough snowman maker apps to pay his domain fees or web hosting. Amiga inc is a joke.
 
Personally I hope they lost the domain name. Then Silly Billy can go on and find a real job and stop trying to suck the amiga community dry while delivering NOTHING.

My bet is that they've sold the domain to a Spanish/Portuguese dating service...  It's the only thing they had of value.

This thread sort of reminds me of those dismal months during and after Commodore's bankruptcy  :-(

Plotting their revenge on the PC. Like Russia is still the Soviet Union, just keeeping itself under-wraps and striking when the humble blue screen machine at it's weakest!!!

Mwaahahahaaa!

Ok, well I hope this is the case anyway... We can all dream.
