Where are you going once amiga.org is gone?

[frankb]

If the Amiga.org domain sold announcement is true, and it looks like Wayne is *not* joking, then what forum will you make your home?

I am just wondering where everyone is going to go once amiga.org as we know it is gone. I have no problem with other Amiga related sites, and I am a member of a some of them. Quite of few here do not like amigaworld.net, can't stand ann.lu, hate moobunny, believe morphzone.org is part of the dark-side, and think AROS (x86 based) is evil, so probably wont go to aros-exec.org.

So, where are you going to go?

I guess to:

www.thatpunkguy.co.uk
www.speelgoedmannetje.nl
www.t-bone.com

:-D

so wayne, was the announcment a hoax, or was it infact true?
I think more people would take it seriousely, if you verified this today.

I really thought it was a hoax myself, but now i am not so sure anymore..

[bloodline]

It looks like I'm going to be spending most of my time at aros-exec.org for obvious reasons...

I hope to see you all there from time to time. :-)


But even that will not replace my affection for this site and all it members. :cry:

My biggest fear is that the three different Amiga Tribes will separate out to thier own little forums, never to see each other again :-(

amigaworld.net (as Chris_Y if anybody wants me).  It's the only other place, isn't it?  The rest are evil for whatever reason. :destroy:

aw.net tends to be a happy optimistic "red" site. :insane:  I always liked amiga.org for that extra bit of balance between the different "camps", and the flaming between them is comparatively rare and kept under control unlike certain other places I could mention.  This made it a nice site for all Amiga, AmigaOS and derivative based topics,:cry: and there is no other place like it. :boohoo:


It will be missed. :bigcry:

If this true, and tbh I'm beginning to think it is, then I really will miss Amiga.org.

Thanks Wayne, we haven't always seen eye to eye, but if I were in your shoes I would have probably done the same thing.


Bring on the Lesbians... I wish I was one.

If you had a sex change then you would technically be one..
 :lol:

If all this is true (and I still don't believe it) then Wayne should back up the system and hand it to someone else to host under a different name and domain (I cannot see how a "non-competition clause" could prevent this).  I might spend a bit more time at AW.net, but like others have said, if A.org goes then we'll have lost the only peaceful site that all people can user, [color=FF0000]whatever[/color] their [color=0000ff]"colour"[/color] :-(

So, where are you going to go?

Well let's see, first I'll cry like a little baby for a day or so (:-p), and then I'll go to plan b.

Plan b...?

-Edit- I notice you haven't registered on aros-exec yet :-)

[Strangedisk]

Going?  I'm already spending my time at www.aros-exec.org.

It has been good.  I'll see ya all around on new boards.  I suspect that the AROS community will grow, not shrink, over time.  We'll get some new blood, a nice departure from Amiga, while being an evolution of it.

Join the lesbians at #amiga.org  :-D

I'm sure that there are many people who would be willing to take on the website, even if there are costs involved.  I'd consider it myself, if I knew the first thing about web forum hosting - I suppose that's where a good team of staff members comes in handy.

If this announcement is indeed true, then I would imagine Wayne will strike some deal to ensure the survival of the website.  He may have had enough himself, but I'm sure he wont want to see the entire forum killed over this.  I mean, it's not like he has any reason to see the forum die out of spite or anything silly like that.

Cheer up Amiga.org'ers, I don't think these will be the last days you enjoy hear at a.org.  It may have a different domain in the near future, but that doesn't make it any different a website.  All is not lost.

I'm already registered at aros-exec.org and amigaworld.net,
so I'll be at those two along with various C= 8-bit sites.

I will certainly miss this site though - it's been my home
page for a long time.
