 Rule #4: 4- Flamebaiting, flaming, being abusing, being disrepectful, trolling, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.

  Let's see, I quoted a post then responded saying something to the effect of :"Very eloquently spoken. Thank you!"

  That was flamebaiting. abusive, disrespectful, etc? Are you serious? The guy said what I was trying to say and I complemented him? How does Rule #4 apply?

1. Young people don't have (or want) desktop PC's anymore.
2. I'm older than dirt and I'll never buy a new Desktop.

If you can't fly your plane holding your iPad or Windows tablet in the future, I don't think there will be too many new players.

Yours was not,simply deleted for the quote. His pretty much hit each item in the list

  You'll have to help me out here. Seriously. Does Rule #4 prohibit quotes? I've read Rule #4 about 50 times now, and see nothing there that prohibits quoting a post. I'm not a regular here so whatever I did that was in error, just say it.

"His" who? What "items"? Your post makes no sense to me, and I don't say that to break you #4 rule.

I'm glad there is no CT.  I was dreading that, as I very much do not want to be fighting computer-controlled aircraft opponents.

  I think he is saying that the post you quoted violated the rules, and so it was deleted.  And since your post quoted the rule breaking message, your post was also deleted in order to remove the material that you quoted.

  Quoting a post does not violate the rules.  But the text you quoted did violate the rules.

Nor is it your business Traveler.

That's correct and I never said it was, I like the idea that HiTech is totally responsible for his business.   That's the way it should be, if it fails its on him, if it is successful it's also on him.   But if he's not going to share information he can't be asking us the customers about the ROI for any part of his business and his asking that question to put down someone that was just offering help is, well, a cheap shot.

Thank you very much FLS, Brooke, Ammo, Ack-Ack and Lazerr! I remember you all and it's very nice to see some vets are still around!

FLS, lol yes I remember it vaguely! But I do remember it!

Funny thing is I was thinking about maybe spending time with the P47 and F4U now

Think it through.....  go on, give it a try....


ok, I'll help ya.  If the original post broke a rule then that means whatever was posted has no place on this BBS, the owners have stipulated what is and what is not acceptable.  If the original post breaks rules then it will be removed......it gets removed as posts like that are not welcome on this BBS....if you quote that post before it's been removed then your quote remains a place where the original post is still on this BBS and, therefore, must be removed as well despite you not having broken any rules.  Removal of an offensive post that you have quoted should not be seen as a slur on your character in any way.

Hey there Rolex 

Man, I was just thinking the same (as for new players).  What I was mostly thinking is, tablets are still somewhat in their infancy and technology has grown in leaps and bounds since HTC opened its doors.  HTC has performed miracles to give us the huge online arenas, I wouldn't bet against them for doing something that would be playable with those devices in the future, due to their ability to tweak memory management and possibility of new development in architecture for future devices. 

The number of folks that currently have spent a few Benjamins ($300 or more) solely on video cards, would surely put out good money for smaller devices that could stand the strain of an AH type game.

Howdy Wilbus, great to see you back! If you're interested in Jug flying come fly along with the 56th and see if you like it.

P.S.  Wilb!   LTNS!   

[Shifty]

I am supporting Aces High. My gaming rig went tits up in October and I havent been able to fly. Yet I still pay my monthly fee. Hoping to get a new rig soon.

   Let me help you out as your sarcasm is misplaced and uninformed.  The confusion on my part comes from the fact that the quote in my post was deleted yet the original post from which I quoted remains. Get it?

This thread runs so fast I hardly can follow! Hopefully it's a sign about the importance of the matter in hand.

For what I've read and seen there seems to be two major issues: Low numbers during peak hours and low numbers during off-peak hours, both of which make people leave at least for the session they had planned to play.

There's a recipe so simple everyone can do it: Instead of leaving, stay! Wait for the numbers to grow. If everyone who currently only pops in to see some familiar names on the roster would stay for an hour or so waiting for the said names, the numbers would look entirely different! Also, you can inform others that you're going to play at a certain time. That method has worked wonders in the Finnish community, our three year old "Action for the flying night" thread is 36 pages long - not bad considering there's only about a dozen more or less active players here. That means a page a month, one message every second day on the average with 15 messages a page. Think about that, do some more math with the number of players in your squad.

As for advertising, I've never seen one. I also suppose that I'm not in a minority for not watching TV very much. At least that's what I've been reading: Active computer users don't have time to watch TV. They watch their computer instead, thus also being able to skip the annoying ads! For off peak hours the ads should be on the European channels, each country having their own. Investing into that would never pay back!

So, please do yourself and your fellow AH'ers a favor by staying online a little longer, wait for others to pop in. While waiting, do something you wouldn't normally do: Up a hangar queen, learn how to drive a vehicle or a PT boat, explore the surroundings with a Storch...
