I’m not defending him, I’m calling ACE out.  Big difference. 

You guys wonder why this game is dying?  Add your post to the list of reasons. It’s always an attack on anyone who doesn’t toe the party line. Toxic.

If you say so Boomer.

You don’t owe us an explanation. That clown has been doing dirty stuff on these boards for a while now. Like for example calling people names getting a response and then editing his original post. Lame stuff.

While no explanation is needed by Hitch, there are a few things that do need to be cleared up.

A lot of those edits that you see in his post where because of me getting a hold of him and telling him to soften his posts a bit, some of them were done for spelling and sure, some of them may have been used to snipe with. No more passive aggressive than any other person on these boards in a conversation in which they are adamant. You all were rude to each other in just about every encounter you had. The difference is I believe you all knew what buttons to push to receive the response that you wanted and he fell for it every time.

Does that make any of his responses right? No.

Does that mean that it absolves you guys of your role in those conversations? No.

He's a grown man and is accountable for his actions like the rest of us.

Just remember it takes two to tango.

In the end Hitech saw it fit to remove him from the forums for his posts.

I had in the 80s' an 8088 PC that required a 31/2 disc of DOS 2.1 to boot.  At that time I got into the autoexec.Bat file to modify and remark to free more memory so that I could play a game (Their Finest Hour etc.)  In other words I made my own Boot Discs for the games I played.  I believe I had 256K of memory then.  I later added another 256K to make it 512K.  The memory cards back then were almost as large as a modern Video Card. 
Dang kids and their newfangled electronics.  You needed to cut your teeth on the old S100 system like the IMSAI. Just had to make sure you new all the hex codes to boot it and get the switches right. That monster had a power supply that could dim the lights on the whole block as it warmed up your 4K of RAM. RAM expansion was easy, a 2nd mortgage and another huge box to add.  :aok

I never saw him do that but your pattern shows you stalked the guy all over the boards. LET IT GO.

Welcome to the AH BBS, new guy.  :)

Thanks, Lusche. I’m actually a retread considering a return. I stumbled into this mess on my second day back. Hard to believe it’s come to this.

That's funny. My first computer besides the Commodore 64 was an 8088 from Radio Shack. It did not come with a sound card so I had to buy one and install it. It did not work right away.......oh they had these things called IRQ's back then. I had to choose an IRQ that did not conflict with the other devices.  :D
When I started playing Red Baron online some of the players had Pentium chips and their planes could turn faster.
Oh, I had to get one right away. LOL. So, I got a Pentium.  :D  I booted from Dos to play instead of Windows because there were more resources for the game. 16 colors LOL  When you shot down another plane the animations were hilarious. Yep, things have changed a little. I just finished building a new computer and my only problem was installing Windows 10, but some online reading and a few changes to the motherboard bios and it was up and running in no time.

I hope we pick up more players. I love AH.

Remember getting challenged by Lothar von Richthofen to a duel and he show's up with wingmen? Red Baron is why I went from amber to EGA.
