Unfortunately, this is a common misconception among too many Classic and AOS4.x users, that the MorphOS community is somehow less friendly and helpful.

I had this impression myself in the very beginning, but learned that MorphOS users and developers can be just as helpful and friendly as any other current, or former Amiga user, or developer, but you first must get to know them. There is far more help available than you realize, and the users and developers are very friendly and helpful when approached in a respectful manner.

I don't deny that the MorphOS community and the Development Team itself could improve their public image and the inaccurate perception that many people outside may have of us, but I can assure anyone with this misconception that it is false and encourage everyone to get to know more MorphOS users and developers, before passing such judgements about us.

I have spent years pondering the question of how the MorphOS community could better present itself to all non-MorphOS users, so we could accelerate the growth and development of third-party software for MorphOS, but have not come up with any concrete answers about how our community is lacking in this regard, other than the one point I continue to press forward, that negative campaigning against any other platform, or group, only does more harm than good in attracting more new users or developers to our cause.

Unfortunately, some MorphOS users are just too stubborn, or too stupid to realize that their negative attacks are doing so much harm, or they simply do not care that we gain more users, or developers.
