I'd love to know why the hell so many new people have arrived on the BBS. Is school out in the states or something
:
Off the cuff, I'd suspect 'Redtails' might have something to do with it, based on the apparent age range of the majority of the influx.
New blood is good, it just means you also get a lot of stuff on the wishlist that's either been asked for a million times over, or doesn't have any experience behind it.
I'd really like to see a sticky at the top of the wishlist listing the criteria they use for considering adding a plane entitled 'If you are thinking of asking for a plane...' or somesuch. I'd also like to see one that says something along the lines of 'Along with the nuke, these are the other things we will never implement.'
*shrug* The one thing I've started to bear in mind with the wishlist, is I don't have to read or respond to every thread in it. People who've been around here for a while have seen some of the suggestions umpteen times. For these guys that just signed up and discovered the forums, it's the first time they've ever seen someone ask for an He-111 or a Ju-52 with wikipedia links.
If it's something that irks me they're asking for, I find it best to just click the 'back' button and move on to something interesting most of the time.
