I have setup an Amigaworld.net Supporter Scheme to encourage people to donate to the site. Based on your contributions over the course of a year the site will automatically assign you a Supporter Tag, you may add to your previous donations at anytime to reach the next supporter tag level.

By displaying a supporter tag, others will know that you consider it important to support Amigaworld.net. Without your donations the site would not be able to pay its bills or promote itself on other sites and magazines.

There may be other benefits too, such as not seeing google/yahoo ads if we decide to put them on the site.

For more information please visit http://amigaworld.net/donations/

Thank You for supporting the site.
Amigaworld.net Team

DaveyD, I will happily contribute up to at least a silver supporter level the same day that the site lives up to its "AmigaWorld" name and its "Amiga Community Portal" slogan and allows both AROS and MorphOS on the front page, preferably in their own respective forums instead of kludging them together and actively hiding them away in some hole where no one will see it.

@takemehomegrandma

There's AROS and MorphOS content on this site?

And here I thought brand names didn't mean anything to the MorphOS crowd. You can't have it both ways.

Ah, but it has to be on the front page...apparently.

Yeah, you must be careful to not click on this link: http://amigaworld.net/modules/lastposts/

What comes to news, we do publish both AROS and MorphOS news items.

I forgot to log out with my last donation and now my profile is showing a tag. (and its the wrong one! I demand gold!!!!! GIVE ME THE POWER!!!!!)

Ahem...

Can you please remove my tag for me and put a pop up or a really annoying javascript window that blends into the page with flashing low quality gifs to remind me to log out before my next donation?

I was talking about an end of the negative segregation policy of this site, not about brand names. Couldn't care less about Amiga brand names...

Edited Childish Comment.

Good Idea DaveyD

This is true. IMHO

What is on the front page should be what people are talking about at any given point in time. This should not be filtered or skewed.

Interest and activity in these areas ebb and flow and this should be reflected on the front page. Obviously if A1 Linux has it's own forum then MOS and AROS should have their own fora as well as a new one for new classic (CloneA, Minimig etc).

All IMHO!

If you don't like this site's policy, use another site. There are plenty of them.

I'm not particularly fond of the way AROS and MorphOS are handled here, but if removing the restrictions on the MorphOS area means that I have to endure even more of your onesided, over-enthusiastic, provocative, stuck-in-2001, told-you-so, bbrv-made-a-blog-post rethoric, I'm all for putting even more restrictions on said area - just to be on the safe side.

Look at the relative activity levels, though. The A1 Linux forum has 914 threads, the alt (MOS/AROS) has 90. That doesn't justify adding forums (splitting in to separate MOS and AROS forums) IMHO. And 'latest posts' remains pulling up everything.

cgutjahr also does raise a good point as well...there remain some who still seem to be a bit...hmm...overzealous in redirecting threads having nothing or little to do with anything other than OS4 in to blog posts, 'maybe one day' (MOS 2 anyone, LimePC, etc), etc.

I personally have no problems with discussing any of these things, as long as they aren't used as tactics to drag other threads off-topic. We still do have a mixture of users here, some classic only but want OS4 (or MOS), some just here for the soap opera, some MOS and/or classic users, etc. I'm open to opening up the Alt forum myself, but that would require Staff consensus, and if suddenly it became a spamfest, I'd expect that to be pretty short-lived.

*shrug* I guess we'll see.

@koksa
Kind of on-topic, I see that "bbrv" is now a Platinum supporter, which means he donated at least £100 to AW.net....

Hang on. Do I read it correctly that posts in the alt amiga OS forum will not show on the front page?

??

?

@Pleng

It has been that way since the "Alt" fora were created many years ago as the result of the then users opinions on the matter. You can follow the threads either by going in through the main "forum" link, or via the "recent threads" link on the front page.
