Unfortunately for you, Viper65th was the name we picked.  Then we had to decide what we're going to do.  At first, we tossed around the idea of signing you up for a lot of spam but it just wasn't funny enough.

Fortunately, CorkyJr has a real good mean streak in him and came up with the idea of hitting a Squeaker where it hurts them the most.  I objected as it might not look good for a group of grown men going around and kicking some 13 year old in the nuts but CorkyJr explain that he meant the H2H arenas.

HiTech really liked this idea as it was a natural progression of our neferious plans for world domination.  After staging some "incidents" in the H2H rooms, we pulled the plug on the H2H rooms and celebrated by having a couple of platters of buffalo wings at Hooters.

Of course, you didn't hear this from me.

Being part of the community which no longer exists I must say, that was one heck of a joke. (Better than your singing!)

I won't use that word, but basically in a nutshell, yes.

then the H2H forum went out of control, and there was tons of time spent moderating that, along with the wild allegations flying about anything and everything... drama queens abounded. HTC got fed up, and yank.
I don't know what to put here yet.

H2H was a great part of Aces High.  I always used it as a way to "warm-up" and when I wanted to try out a plane I didn't fly much, etc.  Sometimes I had so much fun in H2H that I never even made it to the MA that night.  I miss it a great deal.  Our squad used to use H2H for training and it was some of the best fun I've had in AH.  

However, in the last year or so, H2H really began to erode.  It was filled with a bunch of idiots that could not control either their language or their emotions.  I was glad when HTC shut the thing down but I was and still am FURIOUS at the morons that destroyed one of the best parts of AH.

I can neither confirm or deny any SAPP involvement in the closing of the H2H arenas.

Any questions should be directed to my lawyer...er... Raptor.

H2H was falf of my fun even being a subscriber. Very often, before going in MA, I still try the h2h hoping it is up again!! I'm pissed. Things I used to do in h2h I can't ever do in ma or DA or..forget TA. I learned to fight in the h2h.
Come on, put it back for subscribers at least.

Question, why isn't the DA as fun as it was in the 8 player? How can we make it so?
