All Agree?


No. You've said far worse in the last few days than most of the posters here ever will. While there are some that are equally nasty or worse, most are content to voice their opinions, read the opinions of others, comment, read follow up comments, etc. When you've been around long enough to get and contribute something positive (or at least refrain from the negatives), then you're welcome to comment. In the meantime, if you're just going to insist on calling us ignorant arselickers, then as far as I'm concerned, you can get stuffed.

Ah Community Split?

I don't think so....here is why

Bomber Squads continue to Bomb
Attack Squads continue to Attack
GV Squads continue to .......GV
Fighter Squads continue to Furball

And Individuals continue to voice Malcontent

I fail to see any split in the AH Community

The community is not split any more than what is was.  There are multiple styles of game play possible and that will of course group people into different categories.  And this is not such a bad thing.

The BBs are not ugly, there are some that get ugly in some threads and that is unfortunate.  Many members make a consorted effort not to cross that line.  It's ok to disagree and have different opinions that is what makes the world go round.

There is also a lot of jabbing, tongue in cheek so to speak going on as well.

Personally I think with the latest changes the community will be coming together  like never before.  :aok

So true and include rants from 200 : >

As long as HT keeps 200 and bbs around it's all good for me.

I appreciate you "backing up your squaddie".   I've done the same for people throughout my life Frode, and will continue to do so.   If you THINK if I go to con I'd be pissed at anyone you're wrong.   Well maybe one person that broke up the 47 RONIN squad a few us were in.   But, I wouldn't go right up to him, if that's what you mean.

Class, some have it, some don't and I do.

He's right, the community has been split.

Those who take the game seriously...

Those who dont...

And those that can't remember what happened in AH the next morning:aok

Anybody else remember that ancient Star Trek episode (ie the Shatner series) where there was an endless war on a planet with folks who had their face coloring split half white and half black? The guys with white on the RIGHT half were hating on the guys with white on the LEFT half...
