Default Farewell, Amiga.org is dead. Long live Amiga.org
Well, only a few more hours left and this version of AO is gone. Obsoleted by a new version of PHP. So, we march forward.
You might not like it. Might not like the new site software or the new theme. The lack of features and the forum only nature. The rest will come in time. Doomsday is coming and we can't wait til the last day this server runs PHP4.
This is far better than the past when the site moved on in a momemt of disaster. We moved to Xoops when phpNuke (it was nuke, right?) that was running the site got hacked. Data was lost. The site was rebooted under Xoops. If I recall correctly this happend twice somewhat close together.
This time we get to keep all the data. It just will not be all be available when the new site goes live Saturday morning. Be patient!

I guess I'll no longer have my 10,000+ post unranked status. I'll be just normal... again...

See you all on the other side!

It's the end of an era. But I think this can only be good in the long-run. Remember when magazines started dropping floppy disks in favour of CDs? Remember when they started putting AGA software on their coverdisks, or software which needed accelerators or more RAM? ISTR uproar on the letters pages from people who felt abandoned and left behind. But in the end the change was necessary to stop the Amiga stagnating as a floppy-only system. I hope the effect here will be the similar, stimulating further development of Amiga web browsers.

Quite. I think about I'll be down 3000 posts after the switch.

At least it will be an incentive to post more often, eh?

Been watching too much Big bang theory? The product was placed in Season 2, Episode 23. Time to get a dialogue about Amiga and/or C64 in there ;-)
