Meh forums are old skool its all about fb, twitter and LinkedIn these days this is where the largest audience potential is for niche platforms such as AmigaOS.

Me too!
It's a shame all the negative people tend to talk the loudest.

Funny I believe the exact opposite is true. Twitter/FB is good for a quick advertising promo and for people with very short attention spans but nothing can compare to the about of information and help for like minded enthusiasts that a good Internet forum has.
I had to cancel my LinkedIn account because people I didn't want to hear from were constantly spamming me, twitter I tried but don't get as I've got email on my phone that's much more productive.
I know in the grand scheme of things it won't mean much but I would just like to say thanks for the update. It is good to keep the community informed (and engaged) with what is going on every now and then, even when it is not so great news. At least we know that things are still going on and that the users have not been forgotten.
Unfortunately things do not always go according to plan and crap happens. Not just with programming but in all aspects in life. A small number of very vocal people on the forums need to recognise this.
As I already said, thanks for the update and it is obvious that those working on the OS and other AmigaOS prjects are doing the best they can and this is also appreciated. Unfortunately, it is a small community with a lot of work to do.
I'm sure some will want to interpret Rogue's post as an ominous sign, but let's remember that the AmigaOS 4.x platform is not in the hands of two programming demi-gods. So while the Timberwolf news is surely bad news, it doesn't mean that the ship is running aground. I see it manned enough to keep the party going for a good while.
I don`t say thank you for this because i give only a "thank you" for some real things. When Gallium 3D appears and works good i will give a big thank you but not now
'I don`t say thank you for this' comment because each day work is being done to create 'some real things' and it seems you can't imagine the effort given and difficulties encountered to release 'real things'.

By the way, thanks Rogue for the update.
I can`t remember me that my boss say every day thank you to me and he is a good boss. Thank you will somebody get from me if he do a great job or thing. I see here no great software. Timberwolf is slow and buggy. Gallium 3D doesn`t exist.So no "Thank you" from me
Thanks for the update Rogue, I'd also like to join the silent majority and say thank you for your continued work and look forward with great excitement to see your labour of love finally being realised.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
While an improved Timberwolf and a released Warp3D would be great I don't need them to enjoy using what we've got.
@tommysammy, I think you forget AmigaOS 4.x which is something real. Freespace, Heretic II, Quake II, MiniGL, Warp 3D and so on.
It is solely because of the Friedens, that I am now able to use AOS4.x.
So thank you I think, is in order, for keeping it alive and for keeping our OS of choice updated and alive.
emmm.. honestly Amiga OS 4.x has been developed from a lot of the developers in the past, not only the two..
If a lot of developers left the scene, there should be a "why" and also a "because" and you should ask yourself why a lot of developers left the scene.. but that's another thread..
I have to say thank you to ALL the developers that realized something for Amiga OS 4.x and fixed bugs or completed half work done by other peoples that, instead, are acclaimed as semi-god..
I say "Thank you" for my X1000 and AmigaOS4.1.6 They are real and i can use them every day. I don`t say "Thank you" for a buggy Timberwolf and non existing version of Gallium 3D . Now everybody understand me?
Maybe if you're lucky, when they release the new Warp3D and Timberworlf, your appreciation of their years of hard work will be repaid with a "doesn't work on tommysammy's machine" routine?
;)
Just saying... not recognizing or appreciating it can take years of work to accomplish complex projects is simply indecent (IMHO).
