Not sure I follow. Your comment is confusing. You saying you would rather that cluttered mess that was a front page? or are you talking about the index page of amiga.org.
Not my decision, but you can always make a bookmark.
Let just agree to dissagree, cause I can see you have some axe to grind. Its jointly owned by Amigakit and A-EON.
In regards to your comments about professionals. Everything gets jumped on, straight away with out any correct facts. Even when facts are provided, they are ignored, cause it kills the original beef (and attention).
In my own opinion, no one is diplomatic these days. I always sat on the fence, however everyone thinks they are right and thats where the problems happen.
Lets leave this now.
Insulting people after they've taken their time to write on here isn't helping the forum's cause, nor is demanding the shutting down of said conversation.
My memory of the forum down-time was that (well it seemed) it was around a year or more, so no surprises people left. I'm not sure why the Gallery went private, but I used to like to check it without logging in.
Then there was some drama about some poor chap being ripped off over the 'A1200 logo' or cases or something, I can't remember what exactly but I felt it was below the belt by AmigaKit and I stopped visiting here mostly. I might have totally got the wrong end of the stick, I do make mistakes! I remember feeling disappointed in AmigaKit though at the time.
'THOR' left the forum too (wasn't he trolled out?), and his posts were fascinating. After he'd left, there was little reason to come here for me.
