New Owner of Amiga.org to be on Amiga Roundtable.

[Pyromania]

@Piru

I never said it matched today's solutions, it is what it is. The only way to do video switching and non-linear video editing on a Amiga unless you have a Draco. Draco is cool too but it does not do real-time effects and switching. If you price video switchers you will find they are quite costly.

Unfortunately it seems this way.

BTW curious thing the aw.net fallout. MobbyG leaving and all that. Must be a coincidence, surely.

We will see what will become of amiga.org.

I am still puzzled by this.  I don't think he was vilified.  MobbyG has every right to his opinion of course.

I was even more puzzled by the press release that started that thread.  I'm not sure if it could have been written any worse than it was.  It was bound to cause an uproar as written.  And I don't think it takes a genius to see that.  Now one may argue that a person should not have to take the community's shortcomings into account when writing something like that.  But even if you grant that, there is still the reality to deal with that writing stuff like that is going to get people talking, get them asking questions, and even disagreeing with you!

Whoever the new owner is here, I wish them the best of luck.

On a personal note, I don't care who the new owner of A.org is or why it's such a secret - we'll all know soon enough so why worry?

[crawff]

I thought Amiga.org would of been the best place to announce the new ownership...

I cannot speak for MobbyG on this but as a contributor to the show... hell I guess Rich and I started it so to speak.. I have been staying out of this drama as best I can to be honest.  (I always figured that I would be the first person to get us heat.) I would like to assure you that to the best of my knowledge what happened over on the other site, and the new owner announcement show is completely unrelated.

In fact the, at the time, prospective buyer, contacted me via PM on this site back in October I think. Their identity was unknown to us all via the account that sent the PM and still is. I mean we all chatted back and forth with guesses from everything from Bill to John C. Dvorak of all people. Who the hell knows. I really just hope that by the end of the recording this Sunday, I don't walk away feeling like more of a pawn that I already do now.

You guys have at least verified with Wayne that that account really is the new owner though right?

You are kidding, right?

[ffastback]

You are kidding, right?

Normally I would not ask such, just assuming someone would verify that first.  But stranger things have happened in the Amiga community unfortunately.  

But I'll take that as you have verfied.  Cool.  If it is Bill though that will be kind of funny, since he is a part of the show already.  lol

I hear ya.

Oh and gosh..it was actually on the first week of September. I vetted the account with Wayne shortly thereafter.

PS. I know I'm going to get a beating for saying all this aloud, but I felt I had to let it out.

And we're a better forum for it, thanks

Frak!

Yeah, as Sean said, we have been kind of kicking it around as to who the new owner is. I have a theory the owner is in Europe. Just by replies sent to us in PM and the grammar and such. Not sure how right I am but I'll find out Sunday.

As will all of you... *DRAMATIC ORGAN MUSIC*

@Piru, (Edit2: I respect your opinions and your right to have such opinions, but do not totally agree with them.)

Reasons deleted as they are off topic.

@Thread,  Has anyone considered that the buyer could be AmigaKit, or Individual Computers, or a partnership of both of them?

Edit: Nah, Jens would not have anything to do with the nuts around this place.  Who ever the buyer is, they must have some reason for spending the money to get it, and probably a plan, or hope to get some of that money back from the members here, or advertising revenue from the site, but that is a hard task, as Wayne himself claimed that there was very little income from ads on Amiga.org.

Whoever bought Amiga.org, good luck!

I dont care who you are because if you spent 10K USD on buying Amiga.org then, you sure do like Amigas, and at the end, thats all that counts to me!
