OMFG!! OMFG!!!! OMFG!!!!!!
This is worse than 9/11, the Battle of the Somme and the Black Death x 1,000,000!

Like most people the fear and shock gripped me so tightly that I vomited all over the desk.  I've spent the last 12 hours curled up in the fetal position, crying my eyes raw. I mean, my God, what is happening to the world?

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Oh wait...

@Wayne
Did you sell the site on the premise that it is already populated by Spanish lesbians?  You wouldn't know otherwise from reading this thread (it looks like it's some member's time of the month :biglaugh:)

@Ffastback
Don't worry guy, your continual posting on this matter provides complete confirmation of the absence of any caring on your part. :rolleyes:

@takemehomegrandma
I'm sure any moment now, the more regular denizens of these esteemed forums will be taking to to the streets, wailing like mothers who's children have been brutally murdered.  Any second now Wayne will see the error of his ways and return the money, vowing to dedicate his life, with no respect to his personal needs or health, to this site.  

Because frankly, and I'm speaking from the heart here, the world would literally stop turning if you ever stopped occasionally posting about BBRV's ability to crap gold, while explaining to us how the Friedens, Ben Hermans, et al are a bunch of evil soul devouring clowns (Like a pack of Pennywises I guess - scary! :eek:).

Without you to remind them that MOS is compiled from source code written by God himself, and that AOS4 is compiled from the dead carcasses of puppies and kittens that were bludgeoned to death by the Friedens using a handlebars of a bike they stole from a small child, this place could fall apart in no time.  Left unchecked, people could *gasp* form their own opinions about something they don't really care about all that much. :eek:



Oh yes!  I loves me some drama :D
(But I'm also reminded why I don't stop by very often anymore)

Hey Wayne,

Sorry to hear about the minor upset of the announcement.

On the upside, it must be nice to see the contrast between past and future in sharp definition: that you no longer have to answer to anyone on here about this kind of crap, and can just step back and enjoy the forums :-)

Take it easy dude.

@ uncharted et al...

And some come here and talk about melodrama... :roll:

Look, just say who owns the site. All this is beyond ridiculous...
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

You are welcome to your opinion.  "This matter" was entirely unnecessary.  I did not start this thread.  And I have only posted replies to the posts of others.  

I personally think its pretty messed up for an Amigan to pull something like this after all the similar sideshows we have been subjected to over the years.  Its not important to my daily life, but its my opinion nonetheless.  If you don't like that I reply to others from that perspective oh well.

Oh, and BTW, as someone from NYC I have to say I find your inclusion of 9/11 in your mocking rant distasteful and unnecessary.  Thats just more crap drama that none of us need.

This show was planned for weeks, its like ordering a birthday clown, hyping it for a while to all your friends, all your friends friends, etc. Only to have a worn out alcoholic stand in show up. Rich got stood up here, everything was planned, everyone though we were golden, then it fracked it self for whatever reason that might be. Rich had to save the show, he deserves credit for that, even if some might feel that the language was harsh im sure people have had plans go down the drain in one way or another at some point. And its not always a good happy comfy little accompanying feeling when shit does go wrong. And as a professional talk show host, im sure Rich felt obliged to deliver what has been hyped for the past few weeks, who wouldnt?. And as he said, he had better tings to do then have an interview with a guest thats not around.

While the cursing was exploding out of my speakers I thought I was hearing the Great Howard Stern yelling at his staff for something stupid they just did. :furious:   I found it all very entertaining, frankly. It was real. And i can totally appreciate being let down when a guest has promised to come on.

but the guys didn't dwell on that. they continued on. as we all should.

Where do you get off saying it was uninformative or whatever anyway, did i misinterpret that? I found the interview with Wayne & Joe extremely interesting and informative, atleast :S

I agree! I just listened to the Roundtable last night (because Some of us have a life and are busy) :) and really enjoyed the show and was riveted by what they were saying. I also recall Joe showing me his blue LED (HAHA) - me and half the population, i suspect.

True , true, i bet a good portion of the live stream listeners thought he was gonna blow up and that would be that for the rounded table.  
I´ve never heard Rich go off like that, i must say, i´d hate to be the guy that messes up his day and happened to be on the same continent. Quite inspirational, truly a lesion in how to blow off some steam on the air.



Joe showed you his *cough* LED?  

Now, I dont know if i want popcorn anymore.

All of the above? Except the last one? Evis in a ufo driven by the new owner?

I'm just curious about something.

Botched announcement aside (and that's what it was), is there ANYONE IN THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY -- hell, even on this planet that you guys would NOT be having this little melodramatic hissy fit over?

If everyone can name me that one person, I would probably faint dead away.

I would have liked it if you had sold it to me. :rtfm:
