There are only two things you need to know about Amiga.org

1. The first rule about Amiga.org is you don't talk about Amiga.org
2.  There is no other rule
3.  See 2.

btw, you (or current owners) probably got some statistics about usage, why not share it with us?


Haha.  I put in a feature request about this about a year ago.  But it got ignored like every other suggestion I've made over the years.

Also,  I pointed out some simple typos and inconsistencies but they got ignored as well.

The new owners couldn't give a shit about the site as long as it just keeps chugging along in the background.  

Wayne would've taken pride in his site. DiscreetFX clearly don't.

Apart form the fact me eyes are now sore from all that gawdy green & white text it makes about as much sense as I do... :)

Looks like it's made by someone with a box of crayons or just a single green felt tip pen... need to go and put some eye drops in all three of my eyes now... weird... :)

I can't say that that is, or isn't the case really.  I do know that if the new owner(s) actually made any change whatsoever, you guys would truly call for a lynching..

Only little things like this, but they dont get fixed, and it makes you wonder why bother even pointing them out?

the thing that bothers me is this:
http://www.amiga.org/forums/web/statusicon/forum_old.gif

its generic, unimaginative, boring.. so I always use 'home' instead of 'forums' and miss some good threads
Better sorry than worry.

Right now, the board is being spammed by Thierry Predavec/foody/athiest2/atheist in an attempt to quash dissenting opinions, that's all.

John will kill all the messages (or not) if he gets bored with Thierry Predavec/foody/atheist/athiest2 's bullshit.

Honestly?  If that's your biggest problem in life, we have really got to find you a girl mate...   :)

That being said, I've got a solution.

It's not my place to make changes to this site any more, but I've offered two sets of replacement icons to the owners for their consideration.

As for hitting home instead of forums, that's just the way it works.  Home isn't the same as "forums" as this isn't just a "forums" site (or at least it tries not to be).  Is it the best way to do it?  Nope, but that's what you get when you take any forum software and try to make it into a full blown CMS.

Hopefully you'll like the new icons if they get posted, but being Christmas Eve, everyone's on holiday, so it may be Monday or so.

Like I said, I technically *could* change them, but it's not my place, or my site to do so any more, which is fine by me.

I can't speak for John, but honestly that crap's been going on for at least 6-8 months.  

I don't see John being interested enough to care any more, the bunny seemingly being relegated to just "being", like most Amiga sites are these days.  It's a shame too, because outside of being the refuge for smegheads, there was actually good, intelligent conversation going on over there at one point.
