Hi. Thanks for sharing your views. Please keep the following in mind:

1. There are no business terms being discussed here. If there were, they would be pretty simple. Here is an example:

Quote:

Please pay $X up front against royalties against the attached volume schedule. Sign here.

Or, they could be more complicated:

Quote:

Please pay: 1) Trademark license to Amiga Inc., 2) Development and software license to Hyperion, and 3) Make sure there is enough somewhere for Rogue and his brother. We also expect a co-marketing budget of $X/month to support AW.net. Sign here.

2. There are no rules.

In the meanwhile, a real 'doodoohead' sent us this message:

Why was this message removed? There was no such disclaimer on the message and the message was sent from an ANONYMOUS source. Here is is again:

Moderation: A moderators say is final. When a moderation decision is made the moderator will document why either in private message or at the place where moderation occurred. This in most cases will be accompanied by reference to which Terms Of Service have been broken. Moderators are allowed to use their discretion in interpretation of the Terms Of Service and operate outside of the Terms Of Service where they see a need to intervene. Where you disagree, or feel unfairness is an issue, see Ajudication. Ajudication: Whilst AmigaWorld.net moderation tries to be fair and balanced sometimes errors can occur. If you disagree with a specific instance where you have been moderated then please put your complaint to the Webmaster, an Administrator or another moderator for consideration and possible action. Arguments about specific moderation incidents are not tolerated on the public forum, use the adjudication process open to you.

@BBRV You've allready filed for an adjucation, if we find that your points are valid, I will put the removed text back, don't do it yourself! /tomazkid ][/b][/i] Quote: OK, got it! We understand and will comply! Thanks!

Can you see the problem here? Certainly, this person *is* a "doodoohead."

1. Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (if that is really who this person works for) would sue Amiga Inc. too if they sought performance against a legal agreement. Simple. The Court agreed. We have not sued IBM or Freescale and they have not sued us. See the difference?

2. Insulting potential customers? Who? Which doodoohead? Maybe, Lockheed? We don't think so. Lockheed is *already* a customer. As for the other participants here in this thread and on this site, we think not. The mere fact we want to have this discussion online is a strong statement of respect for the opinions that are shared - at least the constructive ones (we have no patience for doodooheads and that is something different!). There is a Community and that is why there is a conversation.

3. Software piracy?! This doodoohead should be featured on Wrongpla.net. Never have we advocated or supported software piracy.

To make a long story short, the 21st century is here and it's name is participation. Thanks for the feedback!

Best regards,
R&B

the best way to solve a problem is direct contact. forums should not be used in this way UNLESS it is secured.

This forum is not secured and surely such forum is not about negotiating business contacts in any way. Not a serious company would do it, unless now probably.
A reason for the forum being used and especailly on AmigaWorld.net forums and not on MorphZone, Power.org or MooBunny may be is making the community do a push on Amiga Inc and Hyperion in a rather unappropriate way, which wouldn't work as shown already.
Also all this talk about AmigaOS 4 being available on Pegasos and/or Efika hardware is strictly timed, right some days before the new hardware announcements on the Italian Amiga Fair.
