    As I wrote, Amiga.org doesn't read like an A-Eon fan site to me and most regulars there don't seem to care much for A-Eon.

    > their staff are largely A-Eonkit employees.

    I don't think that's true for either Amiga.org or AWN.

    > EAB always seemed a 2nd tier site, but you may be partially correct.

    2nd tier? Isn't EAB the world's biggest Amiga forum site? And of course, I'm fully correct :-)

    > However even there an A-Eonkit employee is a moderator and key figure.

    While EAB moderator FOL is indeed an AmigaKit employee, EAB doesn't read like an A-Eon fan site to me and most regulars there don't seem to care much for A-Eon.

    > Amibay is just worried about Amibay

    Indeed, no A-Eon fan site.

    > a1k.org I can't speak for since I don't speak German.

    No A-Eon fan site, trust me.

    So the question remains: Which sites are "the legacy forums" that "are corporate fan sites for a company, A-Eonkit"?

    >>> The classic platform itself has [...] a flat ZERO when
    >>> it comes to software releases in nearly 2 decades.

    >> That's also not the impression I get.

    > I meant AAA games or must have software.

    Okay, this is a different statement from just "software releases".

    > Where's the Amiga equivalent? Retro Wars? The Dream Of Rownan?
    > Not so much IMO.

    More like the games by Pixelglass, Retroguru, Night OWL Design or Anachronia I'd say.
