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

[ffastback]

All this being said or given -- and if you take me at my word -- the owner's identity will come to light eventually.  Until then, does it really, really matter?

It only mattered once it was announced that it would be told today.  That announcement sought to include us.  It sought to build hype as well.  Thats gotten seriously old in the Amiga community in general.

No disagreements there.  I just thought your anger was a bit displaced when pointed at Rich, who did a fantastic job of it all.

Who cares, TBH? Wayne got paid for his years of service and the site is still active. What more could you possibly want? A name is just that, a name.

Two more weeks...™

I'm not angry Wayne.  I'm just speaking my mind.  Given the other stuff that went on with the show its sadly not surprising this happened.  Certainly he approved advertising info about the Hyperion project being show content when it was really a gag the week before, etc.  He quits Amigaworld.net in a big display when his co-host is the new admin of this site in the lead up to advertising of this show.  

And why did his co-host, the middle man of this deal as you put it, why did he let this happen after all the fanfare advertising this?

It just an unecessary circus in my mind.  I've got way bigger concerns in my life to be "angry" about this though.

On schedule and rocking™

Lol ! Got to laugh, this outcome was noooooo surprise at all. It almost would have felt wierd if it would actually had went along plan and someone had stood up and told right out who they (owners) where.

[spihunter]

This is ridiculous........

[Boudicca]

Its soooooooooooooo funny ! I've been a member here as far as I can remember (Almost), daily I check for the "Return of the Rock Lobster"...even holding onto a PPC 233 just in case something wonder is going to happen and we can't get the dude who has bought this most venerable of amiga sites to come out of closet to say Hi, what chance is there anyone "Outside" to believe, this forum, its members and the amiga and/or the life after for the amiga needs and will be taken seriously in future.

All I will say to them whomever they maybe "Poor Show Old Chap" !!!!  Being Late is never a good start to a good friendship !!!!!!!!!!!

I dont really care but off course I am curious.

I mean, this is not like the Most Ambitious Project (which IMHO will break or make it for next-gen Amiga commercial success), it is only the owner of the biggest Amiga-related community on the net.

So because I think it is no big deal makes it even more interesting why someone would become scared and afraid of telling someone else he ownes amiga.org?

Mr Wayne of amiga.org, could you perhaps ask this very scared man/alien/human-entity why he/she/it is so afraid of saying hi. It is not like he has to go public with his real name, he can such as I just register himself on the forum name himself "voodoo3" for example and post a simple "Hello Amiga users of the world, Toas... -sorry- ..  Amiga f"n roxxors".

Thanks again Wayne for coming on and saving the show. And I appreciate your kind words...

Thank God ffastback. I am very glad to hear you are not "angry" about this.

Sometimes you just have to put down your guard and realize that not everything is a conspiracy. Your recent commentary about our show leads me to think that you have a podcast up your sleeve perhaps.. and boy that would be great. In fact I welcome anyone to do what Rich does and start your own podcast.. yeah kids..come on!

Try to do your part in adding something creative to our small amiga community and get picked apart. Yes you too can spend a large bit of your free time and spare cash putting effort into something and then become famous as the next victim that gets raked over the coals from a few in our community that have nothing better to do. Oh its a blast! Oh the pirks are great kids. Yes you could even be accused of doing something fishy regarding a third party business arrangement in which you have nothing possible to gain.. but hey it means more popcorn for everyone! Yahoo! Climb aboard!

ffastback I really don't know what your motives are - but I got to tell you..you are quickly becoming once of the most ponderous guys in our community that I have ever come across.

By all means and purposes he actually is the "owner". All we know the owner could be some former executive or the santa claus (or frigment of his imagination). Bill Panagouleas will be calling the shots.

I don't think I feel very comfortable about the idea.

are you saying Wayne is lying???

I really think that is unfair.

[VingtTrois]

hmmm...BBRV (Bill Buck & Rachel Velasco) No ?

"PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER..."  ;-)

[Calen]

As long as the site stays as is and the people within,  i ain't to bothered who owns it.

Great podcast today, first time i had the chance to actualy hang out in the channel and see/hear it live.
Under the circumstances "the new owner being errr.. alittle shy"  i thought it went great, nice lineup of guests.

Keep it up Rich and Co.

oh well, there goes Amiga.org
