I applaud this idea, good initiative.

Is this thread http://utilitybase.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=19&topic=2137 what all the fuss is about!? Seems you got given quite a bit of help on the technical issues. Someone mentioned your code was a bit messy and then someone else started flaming him. Hardly a reason to go off and make one's own site, IMHO. I've been treated much worse on various forums in the past.

BTW I should point out that the things you are trying to do are easily done under OS3.5, is there some good reason for anyone to still be using underpowered OS3.1?!

Why go searching for a reason for this non-existent "fuss"? I never mentioned having a problem with UtilityBase.

I prefer to write software that is usable for various Amiga systems, including 3.0/3.1. I've seen your posts in the past insisting on people to use 3.5/3.9 but many people still use 3.0/3.1 on their lower-end Amigas, which is what I was aiming that particular application at.

It seems that you're determined to go against this idea, which is a shame since you are one of the few programmers left in the Amiga scene. It's just sad that you don't want to be part of a bigger, better team. I could give you a LOT of reasons why UtilityBase is unsuitable, outdated, unmaintained, neglected and underused, but for most of us it's very obvious and I feel explaining to someone who has already made up their mind would be in vain.

maybe because OS 3.5 is not owned by all of us?

Yeah, I agree-it was helpful advice.

@Cammy

On the corresponding EAB thread, the suggestion came up that an NNTP server like UseNet could be used on any Amiga.  The web browsers may be behind the times but there are decent NNTP readers on the Aminet.  For example, NewsCoaster.

Can the moderators please lock this thread before it gets completely out of hand. Now with people digging up dirt on me and throwing around wild accusations this is only going to give those spiteful people on moobunny and other circles more crap to gossip about, and I really don't want to have to deal with another wave of hatred from this community for only trying to help.

@ Cammy

Don't worry about what some dunderheids here have to say, you've been here long enough to know that certain folk are just right dickheads at times. Just ignore the ones that are only trying to wind you up I've no idea what their problem is but I can guess.

Don't let these wahoos put you off from posting or starting threads here, the great work you do and have done for the Amiga community and the enthusiasm that you have for all things Amiga is very much appreciated by more folk here than I think you realise.

So just ignore the tubes who are trying to wind you up and keep on posting. DON"T let any bugger here put you off from doing so, at the end of the day if there only here to take the piss when someone like you tries their best  to do something useful then don't even give them the time of day by responding to them.


@ THE A-HOLES

Yes you know who you are, stop trying to diss someone like Cammy who is genuinely trying to do something positive for those of us who still actually use our Amigas in a useful way.

I've kept this response as nice and polite as I possibly could but if you really want to try your luck then try me...

[kickstart]

Someone want to make a new forum and some people are out of control... at these days people is more "fan" of a forum than the amiga itself.

@cammy

If you dont want troubles make your own private forum with your friends/contacs/whatever.

[commodorejohn]

Don't let the haters get you down, Cammy. As a dabbler hoping to get into a little more serious Amiga programming on low-end systems, this would be a great resource, and I hope to see it come into being

[nicholas]

I would love such a forum as I am just putting the finishing touches to my new A3000 Warpengine 040/40 with Picasso IV graphics card which will be used as my main development workstation for learning 68k assembly fifteen years after giving up trying.

I wish you all the best and if I can help just shout!

Where can we go to discuss new ideas without the fear of being shot  down by negative thinking, hurtful people who only want to stop anyone  else from succeeding where perhaps they failed or didn't have the  courage to try in the first place?

Is this thread http://utilitybase.com/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=19&topic=2137 what all the fuss is about!?

No Minuous it is not.

Cammy has been trying to get her forum going since long before that thread ever existed.

I know for a fact that Cammy's quote is referring to many messages written by many ppl on many forums, including Amiga.org.

[vidarh]

FWIW, I've looked at UtilityBase now and again, but it's messy and hard to use. I can perfectly well understand wanting some other forum.

[jorkany]

I don't know if it helps but this site:

http://os4coding.net/

...despite it's name they are considering opening the site to all Amiga platforms. Maybe a collaboration with them would be more productive than starting something from scratch.

Did this new Amiga dev forum ever get off the ground?

[commodorejohn]

Nope. Pity, as I'd still definitely be interested in it...
