Also, just so it's crystal clear no staff at Amiga.org changed thread views. Sure the number is very high, but it's not that high because of anything I did. Check with Karlos if you don't believe me. All activity on Amiga.org is logged. I would love to know how the view count got so high myself. Instead of pointing the blame at me do some of that Franko investigation and find out the real reason.

You said it yourself "I would love to know how the view count got so high myself", The answer is simple as I now know for myself running a forum website and being it's administrator...

The administrator can change anything they want without it being "logged", moderators don't have full access to the system so they can't see everything and changes that have been made on the fly...

I don't blame you for the "view count" change I blame Tedd Gallion for this (unless like some claim he really is you)...

Simple fact at just after 3:00 am GMT the other night with 196 people online the view count for that thread mysteriously jumped up by 5000 odd views, then 10,000 odd views and continued to do so for quite some time...

Now I aint no mathematician but with196 people online at that time and even if they were all viewing that thread doesn't add up to 5000 or 10,000 views in a matter of seconds...

Between DiscreetFX and Amiga.org it looks like there is no control anywhere over any of their daily running, think you'd better start investigating yourself into this and sort out some very obvious problems they seem to have...

Interesting theory except Tedd doesn't understand computers enough to do something like that. You witnessed his lack of knowledge first hand on his Facebook the other night. He also has nothing invested in Aladdin 4D and has never had any interest in investing in it.

Yup... that sure was one big boo boo...

But he didn't have to delete his entire account because of it...

Tedd could also be getting help though from one of the other "Partners" at DiscreetFX...

@All complainers

Do you really think hes going to make any actual profit from making Aladdin6 for Amiga? Im pretty sure if he would program it himself he could maybe get close to minimum salary, but hiring someone else to do it. No way hes going to make profit from it. Hes making it just because hes a fan.

And hes actually willing to pay someone to program something for Amiga? Who cares if he delivers anything as long as he keeps paying that guy. At least some Amiga programmer is going to be making some money with Amiga for a change.


And have you not noticed that Discreet FX have actually been both making donations to Amiga projects as well as having their raffles? I think DiscreetFX is maybe not making huge money, but propably some nice money enough to pay his bills, live his life, donate for amiga stuff and even pay for someone to make Aladdin6 without much hope to actually get on plus side.


Yeah, he keeps optimistically announcing things, he might not handle hes raffles in time, but he is doing much more than most others are not.

I for one am happy that DiscreetFX is doing what they doing, although maybe not with most professional touch.

But then again, I too would rather concentrate most of my effort on real businesses and let more of a hobby things get the attention only when i have time for them.

@thread

we've asked for a long while for 'evidence' of development, and we've gotten it. in fact we even got a video. admittedly the amiga version is apparently a way off, but we already knew that. give the guy a break. he's putting his money on the line here, and even asking in good faith for interested developers to join the project.

@DiscreetFX

we're glad you're still around and still funding amiga development after all this time and pain. it is appreciated, even if the rough and tumble of the forums might make it seem otherwise.

oh, and even if it's just a native version of the current aladdin 4D, you have at least one customer here in connecticut when the OS4 version ships.

Erm... even though it may still be uploading it seems you've made an error with the link you posted...

It only show the message "The URL contained a malformed video ID."...

Simplest way to post the link when it's uploaded is to copy the actual URL from your browser when viewing the video and paste it in your post here...

Please find a tall cliff and do the right thing...

Thank you

Just searched through this thread and can't see a member called "Trolls" !!!

Are you sure you posted in the right thread !!!

Odd thing is you complain about this poor guy called "Trolls" daring to criticise something (gawd know what) and yet you criticise him for daring to speak his honest opinion !!!

Methinks you've already fallen off that cliff and banged your noggin...

So people that disagree you should kill them selves. That's real Amigan spirit!

@yaysayers

It's not wrong to demand a little bit professionalism from companies that
want you to support them. The stunt DFX pulled was completely unnecessary
and could easily have been avoided. Why go for bad publicity when you can
go the opposite way ?

PS. Those that don't agree with me don't have to find a cliff to jump from. I can
accept different opinions.

Thank you

Looks like the upload did not work, I'll reupload.

That is an interesting statement to make since, AFAIK, he is the owner or significant partner in DiscreetFX. I take it Ted was not the former executive with Netscape that was behind the funding for the Mozilla port?

It is true that Tedd was part of DiscreetFX Partners and for a time CEO of DiscreetFX. He has no current role at DiscreetFX today. He does own Amiga.org which is a separate issue.

IMNSHO, your doing a disservice to DiscreetFX by posting DiscreetFX threads/news to AO at this point in time. All you are doing is furthering in people's minds the connection between Ted and his antics with DiscreetFX by posting such DiscreetFX related threads and news on AO where he is free to comment on them.

Just use Amiga to view it then so you wont catch anything from that site...

@Franko

You're taking all this in a too personal way, IMHO.

Like it or not, DiscreetFX doesn't really need to release anything Amiga related to earn money. If they want to sell, they have to look at mainstream platforms first (who said "and maybe ONLY"?), such as MacOS X, Windows, Linux and Android (which is the 'real newcomer' which is changing market rules, IMHO, with iOS as well). Neither AmigaOS nor MorphOS or AROS have the necessary numbers (in terms of user base) to allow any user of them rise up the voice and loud shout. The day DiscreetFX will ever release something for them, we'll have to be grateful only, whatever will be the time needed, whatever will be the final result. Pissing them off with lots of criticism won't be helpful to Amiga cause, nor it will speed up development, but maybe it will just help DiscreetFX to change its mind.

Some members of this community have long lost the sense of reality, sorry.
