... when we have thousands of important posts...

Unfortunately, even important discussions become so bloated with extraneous BS that they are almost impossible to read. I used to link posts with useful information from netaces. I provided a general table of contents making it easy to find threads about most common subjects. Unfortunately, almost every thread now becomes so full of conflicting information and purse fights about who is right or wrong on something, I decided it's not worth doing it.

If what you are about to post has already been said or isn't making a contribution to the game or the community, it probably isn't worth posting.

 It has nothing to do with my threads.  It happens in everyones threads.  I just used myself as an example because I could give a good estimate of the number.  In my experience many posters put more energy into not understanding what the post is saying then seeing the persons point.  Your post is fine example of this.  Instead of discussing comprehension, you mention private boards.  Instead of discussing a lack of understanding, you tell me to leave.  In 3 sentences you make my point pretty clearly.

The reason I think they should be closed is because of one simple sentence I read today from skuzzy.  Where he stated that: he could be doing other things instead of baby sitting the BBS ....that's pretty powerful testimony counselor.

  So unless you are willing to pay the salary for a new employee to take over this burden, then HTC will continue to waste resources on the BBS, when maybe they could work on new Toys for us to play with.  I'd trade this board and everthing that goes with it if it meant more improvements.

  Private boards are squad issues. Little or  no work load for HTC.  Squads can boot players for nonsense. So have all the fun you want.  Better yet run your own board!  I did it for years.





Helm ...out

i actually find about the same amount of good threads, as bad ones. it's human nature though, to remember things that bother ya more than anything though.
 the boards shouldn't be closed. i was glad to see skuzzys post saying that. on the other hand, though, there has to be some way that we can police ourselves, so these guys can go back to development.
 not only that, but if the "button pushers" would knock it off, we probably would be once again given the chance to discuss some of the banned topics.
 i find nice info in here. a lot of humor too.

those are the kinds of posts that some of us like. sometimes, even if it's stuff that you've previously posted, it's not a waste of time. it may get seen by those that've not seen it before.
 i enjoy WW's posts, although i find myself going to read the ones that interest me more than once, so as to digest all the info.

from the perspective of someone who has gotten piled upon in these forums, me :D

 i know it takes all kinds to make the world go round, it would be a pretty damn boring world if every one thought just like me, i never once thought about quitting these forums

i certainly don't come here to learn, not saying that there are not learned individuales here, but...

i come here because i truly (hate to say it)love Aces High,and yes there are many very cool people here in the forums, that i respect there opinions even if they are not my own

but ST lost out by leaving, he should have stuck it out. to quit over what took place just seems silly, but again it takes all kinds, i have a feeling he will be back, these time  much more under the radar.

<S>

peace

This game is very supportive of new people. The materials to learn the game are very good, folks bend over backwards to help in the forums, tech help, game help, anykinda help. The trainers are excellent and available. The squadrons are many, supportive, and outstanding. The boards kinda sorta polices its ownself.......sorta.

Sorry, but I dont buy the game or the people chase new people away. The occasional two week shade maybe. But generally?? The assets and support are available to get up to speed even during the two week trial and the forum is a big part of it. I know some good people helped me a lot.

It's ok to disagree, if people could just keep it civil as if they were in the same room as the other person it wouldn't be too bad.
after all this is just a game.

correct. if we kept it civil here, then the forbidden topics would not have been forbidden in the first place.....and quite possibly we may be able to have serious discussions on said topics in the future.

disagree on the "just a game" though. it(as stated in another thread) is my escape from reality, even if only for a few moments at a time.
