Purtle Yabba is Stefan Burstroem, Omnipresence Bevin Fingers: what do you think of the No Amiga To Waste site? Bevin Fingers: are you deliberately ignoring my question about NATW? Fingers Bevin: No, I'm at work. Working I get busy and stuff. Bevin Fingers: just that I've already asked it about 4 times in the past month and you never replied Fingers Bevin: Yeah OK whatever, think what you like Bevin Fingers: I don't think anything I just asked you Bevin Fingers: so now that you're certainly listening : what do you think of the No Amiga To Waste site? Fingers How tedious, OK I'll fucking scroll up and read whatever it is I'm supposedly ignoring Fingers Is this miles back? I can find no question Bevin Fingers: I just asked it again Fingers What do I think of some site I've never heard of? Fingers Maybe that's why I ignored it :) Bevin Fingers: never heard of No Amiga To Waste ???? *Yabba wonders if Fingers really is that ignorant or if he is pretending. *Bevin is baffled Fingers Don't recall. Vaugely rings a bell Fingers Shhhh Yabba :) Bevin Now that does it ! Yabba Yeah, that settles it. He is ignorant snapper Bevin Oh, don't winnuke him AGAIN Bevin snapper: no I won't I hope he'll start having a decent conversation with me about it for once Bevin Fingers: can you please respond seriously to my question? Yabba Fingers: (re NATW) if you have no clue, visit thunderstorms.org/NATW and see for yourself *Bevin is also still waiting for a response from Fingers «Quit» Fingers (~mat@194.6.79.166) has signed off (Ping timeout). --> Fingers (mat@194.119.189.91) has joined this channel. Bevin re Fingers *Bevin is still waiting for the response snapper Fingers Oh, just tell him it sucks and put him out of his misery ;) Bevin Fingers: are you gonna give me a decent reply to my question? Fingers What's the URL for this page thing? Bevin NATW No Amiga To Waste (http://thunderstorms.org/NATW). A place where developers and users can come together as one to share ideas and comments. Yabba thunderstorms.org/NATW Bevin Fingers: see the ad Fingers What ad? Bevin Fingers: are you serious that you've never heard about No Amiga To Waste before Bevin this ad: Bevin NATW No Amiga To Waste (http://thunderstorms.org/NATW). A place where developers and users can come together as one to share ideas and comments. Fingers Bevin: What kind of comment would you like on the site? Bevin Fingers: your impressions Bevin Fingers: do you guys read press releases, check the news at A/News, AWD, The Almost Daily Fishwrap, ... Fingers Bevin: First impression is that I'm not sure what I'm looking at. The banner is small. Since it's all on black, it kinda looks like one of the silly typically American warez/crap/zillions of "Get X Now" icon type pages *Bevin doesn't understand Bevin Fingers: have you *read*the text? Fingers No Fingers You wanted impressions, I gave you first impressions. Now I read the text *Bevin starts to understand why the Amiga went down Fingers Oh, it's my fault Fingers I'm really getting annoyed now Bevin Fingers: YOU are getting annoyed? Fingers If you don't LIKE my response, why bust my balls on getting it in the first place Fingers Ask someone else Fingers Leave me alone, I have things to do Bevin Fingers: what's your job? Fingers I wont be baited Bevin Fingers: I'm not baiting you Fingers I'm not stupid, I can see where that question is leading Bevin Fingers: I'm just baffled and amazed how it's possible that one of the leading Amiga magazines doesn't know anything about NATW Fingers Bevin: A) I thought it was quite clear I was joking, I had heard of the site before, it's in our links. 2) The leading magazine may very WELL know, yet I may not. I am not the only staff member. Bevin Fingers: you know how long NATW has been online? Fingers Bevin: Nope Harv Bevin - I didn't know about it till you told me today. There are just too many web sites now for anyone to know about ALL of them. Bevin Fingers: 2,5 months Bevin Harv: all the magazines got press releases snapper Bevin And there's a plethera of people doing the same thing Harv Bevin, I will put a link to NATW on amigazone.com. Fingers No, since it's HIS site, everyone in the entire Industry should know Fingers Since it's been up a WHOLE 2 months Bevin snapper: doing the same thing??? snapper Bevin Yes. Bevin snapper: where ? snapper Bevin It's why your site get's lost in the crowd. Fingers NATW has already been in the news and NetGod in CU. I think Bevin is still missing the point Bevin Fingers: yes? when? Fingers Can't remember the issue snapper Bevin All over, go looking, I usually ignore such sites. Bevin Fingers: you don't even mention it when you talk about 'Getting into shareware programming' from the latest issue Bevin snapper: what kind of sites? Fingers Bevin: So, it's just a web site Fingers Maybe we didn't realise this was the Be All and End All of web sites Bevin Fingers: so's CU Online and so is ADN and so is AWD Bevin Fingers: that's not the point Fingers Correct Fingers We don't expect everyone to know about them snapper Bevin Sites that purport to be collections of and aborations of "Save the Amiga" ideas. Fingers Or care Bevin Fingers: do you even care for the Amiga at all? do you ever think about efforts that people put into supporting it without getting paid and even by putting money in it themselves? Fingers Bevin: Yeah yeah *Bevin thinks about the great description about NATW in CU's links section : Site dedicated to helping Amiga programming efforts be the best they can ... now that's to the point Fingers Bevin: Look NATW looks like a great thing but don't expect a two month old web site to be the hot talk on everyone's lips and then get upset if we don't take it as seriously as you want Bevin Fingers: I just want to get mentioned in the news !!!! Fingers Bevin: Then you shall be! Harv bevin - there's only one way to do that: more naked women! Bevin Fingers: I don't want praises ... I don't want to to get credits ... I desperately try to get YOU amiga news compagnies to just MENTION the site for what it is ... that's it .. do I have to spend every evening promoting something I do out of no commercial interst? snapper Bevin Just remember, that at the end of the day, the only ideas that count are ones in the mind of the guy who's writing the cheques at AI. Fingers Bevin: It's been in the magazine already Fingers I'm sure I put it in NetGod Bevin Fingers: well I checked every magazine from the day NATW got online ... it has been mentioned in none Fingers Mmm, maybe it was something like it...
