Smelly Old Farts... how many 10 year subscribers are there?

[Vulcan]

I just noticed I clocked up 10 years with HTC in February (paying subscriber from Feb 2000... non-stop... does that make it 11 years?)

Any other really smelly old farts out there? I feel like some sort ancient-one in the MA these days, all these kids running in spitfires and 109K4's.

Signed up Beta Tour #1 think there was a month of two where I didn't fly but I don't think my subscription has lapsed since then.

I've gotta be in there somewhere.  Seems like a long time ago

I am only going on 9yrs here.

I tried it in Nov of 2001 and believe it or not didn't care for it.
(was used to AirWarrior but I grew to love this game)



Dang...  has it been that long?

[Heater]

Yep A few of us are still around.... Been here since Day 1

and HiTech is still a PUTZ-DWEEB

I believe I started up at the end of Beta 2. I remember it was just past Christmas in Dec 1999 and I was looking for a flight sim to play on my brand new Compaq AMD K7 500. I was only 16 years old at the time and couldn't afford to play WB, however, on CNET (I think thats right) I saw a download for this beautiful looking flight sim called Aces High. It looked great, had a B17 with individual engine control, and it was FREE during the beta period.

I remember that when I joined up the B26 had an engine texture bug on the right engine, this caused it to look like a green block with a prop hub sticking out. Looking back I'm amazed no one killed me, I was such a squeeker and an ultra melon. But times change and people mature....except me.

  Same thing happened to me Lute. I wasnt impressed with the graphics, and was not aware of the cockpit view adjustments. I think I was here 1 week tops. Went to WW2ol for awhile came back...left, came back to stay.

   Vulcan..you would think someone who has played as long as you would be better at it. JUST SAYIN!

[Ghosth]

Missed the very first month of pay for play as my squad CO was working out a deal to bring the squad over.

Been here ever since.

[Nefarious]

I've been here since 2000, but I was not always a subscriber.

I was young, and in college and I didn't have money all the time.

[humble]

Came here during the beta (8/99 or 9/99) after +moss and I started talking about it at the AW con in 7/99. Probably taken a total of 6 months or so off over the years...

Been here since 2000
