V2 Closes

RobotRiots very succesful legal Amiga site has closed its doors. A message was posted by Robot riot on his site

This site is no more. Yes, V2 is shut down. And it won't return. The reason? I don't have the time anymore to update my site, and who wants an outdated site? Okay, I have to admit that I'm very lazy, too :) ... plus: I lost 99% of the data I had on my PC after a crash. I still will be on Emulation Talk and have an eye on the scene :) Sorry people.
Very special thanks to the following people who supported me over the last months:
A.V., Ant, Bobic, Hippie 2000, Morn, Mr Dig, Mr_WC, OVERDOC
... and of course to Krawall.de for hosting me.

cyaz!

I'd just like to say thanks to RobotRiot for all he's done for the scene. The 'Crack Intro' disks which were originally found at 'V2' can now be found at 'Amiga Vision'. And don't think the memories of 'V2' will go - It will soon be included in the 'Back To The Past' archives, along with 'Guru Meditation' and 'The Dreamzone'

Amiga Emulation Nation Problems

Over the past few weeks Godflesh has had many problems with people attacking his site. The first major incident occured when somebody deleted a large proportion of his FTP. The culprit also posted a message on the Emulation Talks Board, boasting of his attack. However, this was only the start of his problems. A week or so later, 'Cas' posted a message on the Emulation Talks message board. saying that there could be trouble brewing. Somebody had changed godfleshes 'i.am' redirection url, direction it from his own site, to another Illegal Amiga Site (Amiga Memories) . His Guestbook containing over 150 enteries had also been deleted. A person called ' Amigaman ' was the culprit, although it was not the webmaster (Amigaman) of the site where Godfleshes url was diverted to ' Amiga Memory ' ( the webmaster of this site, was also called Amiga Man. The culprit AmigaMan has poasted several more messages on Godfleshes new guest book
Hopefully, this is the end of the sitution.

Cas Returns

Cas has recently returned to the emulation Talks board. Cas, was the target of some uncalled for abuse several weeks back. He left soon after. But he has recently returned, which is great news for the emulation, and real Amiga users - Welcome back Cas

'Amiga Legal Emulation' looks like a 'Lemon'

MC wildsytle, webmaster o f the legal site ' Amiga Legal Emulation' has come under fire in the past few days. He has relaunced his site, claiming on the emulation talks board to have a complete new look. However, it did not take emulation lovers long to realiser that his site layout was just one large ripoff of the C64 emulation site, Lemon, hosted by Emucamp.

MC wildstyle has come under fire from users of his own forum, and even large emulation sites such as emucamp. In a statement on his site he said...

Okay, here it is plain and simple. The new look ALE is exactly like the great Commodore 64 site LEMON by the talented Kim Lemon.
I have recieved a number of Emails about this and would like to clear things up a little. Lemon is a great site with a cool layout and I really like the site and respect the maintainer.
So why use a similar layout and graphics?, time! - I am running out of spare time as employment beckons and my weekends are not my own anymore.
Serious changes have already been made to ALE following these complaints. My aim is to keep you the community happy and I hope that this will do the trick.

My apologies to Kim Lemon. Please visit the Lemon web site.

An anonymous posting on the 'Emulation Talks' board a month or so ago, brought forward a comment about MC Wildstyle copying all his ideas from other sites, and put forward the suggestion that 'MC' stands for 'Master Copier' - Looks like he was right
