I still get the odd email from x-FA players who are thinking about trying Aces High. Leaving that forum up for a bit longer just gives them a comfortable place to land in the forums and get introduced to the community.
Ack-Ack, as I recall (I am old, so feel free to correct me if I am), one day AW was there and the next day it was not. Mark did the FA players a good service by allowing others from the various games in this genre to post directly on thier forums and answer questions. The overlap allowed the FA folks to weigh in on where and why they wanted to go play what they wanted to go play.
It was too bad AW did not get the same service. I think it would have removed any "us vs them" attitude, in my opinion.
The transition for the FA folks has definitely been smoother than for the AW folks. Maybe we learned something about that as well.
