Looks like Commodore will have a new owner…

And the experience to run one as well… 👍🏻

@thread

Due to the massive issues causing the Amigaworld.net site to become unusable, I'll offer 2 alternatives to keep up with history and insights concerning the new Commodore:

597 posts in this thread in a month? Nice traffic

Yep. This is one place where the action is:
Lemon64

and the other is:
AtariAge

Skip to the end of these threads if you only want more recent info obviously.

Commodore patreon posts in both threads and answers questions when possible.

Preview of the next video (Part 3) drops on Thursday to the patreons and on Saturday to the general public.

So, will Amigakit be getting involved if asked to do so?
A lot of negativity I feel from some.
To me, a great opportunity to see how this goes forward.

Please stop dropping our name. We have nothing to do with this venture.
So stop asking. If that ever changes, Im sure you will hear about it.

What this has to do with this thread, apart from divert traffic from amiga.org.
You can still post here??

Fair enough. Only asked. Plus it was on topic 👍🏻😉

And that sounds like targetted harassment.
Am I to understand that the moderators are not only OK with generalised bigotry but also fine with allowing asinine individuals to target other individuals with their bile.

Does Amiga.org / AmigaKit want to be associated with these individuals and should they be allowed to continue with their toxic biases , sullying the reputation of this forum ?

Will the users be banned ?
Or does Amiga.org / AmigaKit support these values ?

In all fairness I try my best. Not easy on your own.
If you look, I do say and do suff about it. I have been away for just over a week. Seems like you are not allowed time off, even from the internet, .

@polyp2000
Do you want to keep this on topic and stop calling people Stupid and foolish? For someone claiming they have swallowed a dictionary and pretending they have a Higher IQ than anyone else. I’d stop using that shovel…
As they say. “the door is over there, if you don’t like it here”. You know the rest.

@thread
To try and put this thread back on topic:
I created this thread is to establish peoples thoughts on the Commodore branding coming back. As Amigakit have rights to certain Amiga brands, I was establishing if Matthew Leaman would get involved or not. I now have that answer.
Which to me is a shame. I saw no Harassment in asking. It was like asking a politician to give a straight answer.
It just means we still have some sort of fragmentation in place. I suppose it’s like asking Hyperion and Cloanto to get together.

So let’s keep this thread on topic shall we. Just waiting on Retro recipes latest YouTube update.

I think you misread what I posted before. I never said your were off topic. I quoted number 6, not sure how you misread that for you.

That’s fine. But Polyp is making this conversation off topic. No constructive feedback on this thread. Who was he/she referring too?
I wasn’t referring to Number 6.

Not to butt in (but why not?) but the bulk of the conversation seems to be over on lemon - which isn't surprising since this announcement:

https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1056614#p1056614

Which to save traffic I shall quote a portion of:

It's only a short commercial video announcing the new Commodore 64 Ultimate (C64U for short) and the new Commodore website where you can pre-order these. They start shipping in October.

The video commercial, the site and the product look quite professional. The C64U will be available in 3 editions (specs are identical, they only differ in the look of the Breadbox case) and of the first batches they will apparently produce 10,000, 10,000 and 6,400 specimens respectively, so 26,400 in total.

So it appears that they will, unsurprisingly, target C64 fans rather than Amiga (which makes sense since Amiga has little to do with C= and hasn't for some time). Whether or not this is still on-topic for this forum is debateable, but it does seem that an Amiga fan forum would at least be adjacent to what's going on over that side.

And yeah it's a souped up C64 not unlike The Spectrum or The A500 I suppose.

I still associate Commodore with the Amiga. Not just C64 (besides I never owned a C64). So I associate it more so with Amiga. I'm sure there is lots of others like me.
