Amiga.org domain sold
« on: April 01, 2004, 05:03:15 PM »
Wayne Hunt, owner of the Amiga.org domain for nearly a decade, announced today that he has sold the domain to a pro-lesbian non-profit organization named Corazón de Amiga, Incorporated based out of Mexico City. The domain will officially switch over as of May 1st.

"They came to me with a decent offer and I took it," says Hunt, "It's just diminishing returns; the smaller the Amiga community gets the more they bicker and squabble about nonsense. The companies involved with the Amiga have proved they have no prayer of saving the platform - I'm just done."

This is a sad, sad day for the Amiga community. A great day for lesbians, though, I guess.

This is a great day for Amiga!!!

I welcome our new Sapphic friends to the Amiga community, and hope they will quickly set up webcams for us. Uh, so we can see the new additions to our flock, I mean.

The contract contains a 12 month non-compete clause, so aside from paying off all the bills that have been a direct result of this site, I'll be taking a bit of a vacation.  If, after a year, there's still an Amiga community left, we'll examine the possibilities at that time.

I'm just very happy that the domain itself will go to good use.

Just to be absolutely clear, Corazón de Amiga (very loosely translated -- since I don't speak Spanish -- "Heart of the Girlfriend") have nothing to do with the Amiga computer whatsoever.

It is an official support organization that provides advice, counseling, and resources to the Mexican Lesbian community.

I guessed as much. But neither do most of our present visitors, so I don't expect much in the way of changes. ;-)

I don't blame you Wayne. As much as I hate to see this site go, there is no way you could turn down that offer! As most will remember this lesbian group has been persuing Amiga.org domain for years and they finally put their money where their mouth is.

About time for a new car in the hunt family? :-)
