| Very, very sad given the timing. Hopefully the recent members will participate in either red or blue arenas.

| Cheer up!
Yes, it's sad a usergroup is closing, especially one which has been going on for such a loooong time
However our usergroup, Amiga North Thames is still going strong and there is a new usergroup, 3CAG which started recently, and of course, SEAL are still going too, so it's not all doom and gloom! Last edited by Mikey_C on 19-Jan-2006 at 05:43 PM.

| Hmm, this is hitting very close to home.
Although, my AMUSE group is still going good I have been to a meeting where I was the only one to show up.

| Sad to see as everyone's already mentioned 
It does look like they've got a fair amount of Amiga content on their site. Any ideas if they plan on keeping the website up, or if someone might be able to archive it so it's not lost? _________________ Are we not done with the same silly arguments and flames yet??!

| Been a member of NAG since 1992. Have also been without my Amiga 4000 for over a year since the motherboards have been in the shop since January a year ago. Here I am with a super wammy Mac with Microsoft Office, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a few other things, but I still miss Final Writer in a big way, Pagestream, Image FX and the lot. I still haven't found out how to do some of the things on the Mac that I could do so easily on the Amiga - at least without having to spend a bundle.
Now with NAG going down, it's another nail in the old coffin for me.
