English Amiga Board Down?

[Xanxi]

yes guys EAB is gone forever
here is the last message that RCK posted on youtube before EAB cessation

Still 1st of April???

[LaserBack]

laserback is trolling (or a poor attempt at humour).

abime.net and RCK are based in france.

it's true
it seems he is moving to the USA because legal problems with his ex 19 old years wife
take a look at the A1k.org threads

Got a link to the A1k.org thread?

A devastating blow to the classic community if this is the case  Also a lot of valuable info lost in their threads.  I guess we'll see if it comes back tomorrow when people are back to work, but it's not looking good.

This would mean Hall of Light is dead too

I hope this is not true, it was a very good technical reference with many talented community. I wish I could recover some technical post I made before I joined Amiga.org.

Same, wish I had taken back-ups of some of the sticky threads in the hardware section, HOL is a massive loss too.  Presumably RCK could get some funds by selling Abime off, rather than just taking it down with him?

I think someone is pulling your leg then! - and which thread?

the address you mentioned in your post is the address for "Progressive peripherals and software" - a company many might remember from the old days.

How about stopping spreading nonsense!

[buzz]

irc topic on official abime channel - "RCK:abime server down, hard reboot useless , I will have to go at Netcenter tuesday]"

now stop this idiotic trolling.

That phone # is disconnected.

Yup, trolling. It makes perfect sense to move to the USA when you're financially ruined. It also makes perfect sense to post that on youtube instead of an Amiga board.

A very poor attempt indeed

[dreamcast270mhz]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure its just BS. And Thorham you're absolutely right, it makes no sense to move to the US, me being a citizen here, the poor stay poor due to lack of proper medical care, the IRS being a hound that goes after people who make honest mistakes rather than those cheating them and of course the myriad of idiots that run the place.

maybe it makes no sense for u but the USA is/was the land of the oppotunities
where should RCK go?  Africa?

Pack in the trolling, and maybe leave the slightly xenophobic sentiments alone as well eh?

[dreamcast270mhz]

Definitely not Africa, but its just the US isn't what its chocked up to be. We have no universal healthcare, we have high crime despite a high Concealed Carry ownership (look at cities like Dallas, Richmond) And our politicos are among the most retarded in the world. No, we are no better than Europe, and in some ways, Europe trumps us.

Hey, maybe not quite on topic but I saw a Vimeo clip (don't have the link handy) showing that Elvis is alive :elvis: yes I know, incredible! But it's true because I say so.

it is true not a joke eab is gone forever
it seems he posted the video yesterday but the link is broken it seems the video was removed I pasted the text from A1korg also everyone knows that RCK married a young ukrainian model 6 or 7 years ago
I heard that ppl warned him she was a gold digger but RCK was deeply in love
if you speak german visit a1k.org for more chimes

[Retrofan]

I already visited a1k.org and all they were saying is that it's holiday and they will fix it tomorrow, more or less:

Thomas says for example: "It is a holiday, who should fix it? Have been waiting until Tuesday." (Google translation).
 
Edit: Oh, sorry I think you have to be registered. You can search it, it's called "Ist das EAB platt?" http://www.a1k.org/forum
 
Edit again: And I've been searching information here. Everytime I've opened this thread I find a lot of guest (now 4 members, 13 guest). Do you know what it means? There isn't another way to know what is happening, and trolling isn't the best idea.
