Amiga Inc formally dead?

[takemehomegrandma]

Assuming no one from Amiga Inc steps in to claim it, Amiga.com will go to auction.  You have to realise that while it is worthless as a computer domain the name "Amiga" means Female friend in both Portuguese and Spanish.  It could easily be worth a small fortune to a dating service or the infamous Español Lesbianas.

My guess:  minimum €25,000, maximum €250,000.  

This is big, a real word, in a big real language, in dot com.

Worth a try though, right...?

Just registered to say that I hope some money strong Amiga fan will buy the domain and turn it in to a forum where oft embittered fans of yore can argue in peace. Oh, wait

Btw: Did not really register to say this. However, I will post an amazing message in 6-7 days, it´s gonna be epic.

Hyperion will be after the domain and anyone who tries to grab it first. It wouldn't be difficult for them to win a dispute.

The question would be, if Hyperion takes Amiga.com and the previous owners come back, would there be a fight for the domain name?

Good morning guys,
 
I know this is pretty much a case where a search would have been helpful, but I am wondering if Amiga Inc is officially dead and buried.
 
Was browsing around this morning when I notice that Amiga.com won't pull up.  This could just be my work connection, which censors everything for my protection, but a WHOIS gets me;
 

 
Then I notice on the bunny that all of the trademarks were suspended YEARS ago under challenge;

As such, is Amiga Incorporated officially gone, dead and buried?

Maybe they are just on summer holiday for 2010.

Yeah, they're probably throwing boing balls around on the beach right now!

In theory Hyperion could file a dispute with whomever wins the auction.  But I don't think the .com folks would be willing to overturn that hi priced an auction.  It just wouldn't happen.  

Alos nationality plays a part.  A "foreign" (from an American POV) firm has never won a dot Com battle with an American firm.  So if the winner of the auction were American then it wouldn't be worth Hyperion's time and energy to dispute it.  Hyperion isn't a successor to Amiga Inc (and wouldn't want to be considering the pile of debt they've built up), they've got very little claim to Amiga.com

I was reading the whole thread just to see how long would it take for persia to talk about the spanish lesbians idea
It's always the same: a thread about Amiga Inc pops up here, and after four or five posts, persia comes up with the spanish lesbianas, hahahaha!

Fortunatelly for us spanish guys, there aren't many lesbians here... it's hard enough to get sex here already! don't give out girls any funny ideas!

Announcing a poster of you registering amiga.com?

Sounds quite plausable.

And on the poster, there will be hints of a future streamed event :rtfm:

They offered more than the US$10K that Wayne got for Amiga.org.  He didn't try to get them into a bidding war, but who knows how much they would pay for Amiga.com

My point is that the chief bidders for Amiga.com won't be computer users.
