>wasn't there a guy in here on the UBB who was researching or writing something about AH a few weeks ago? Wasn't he trying to get a feel of the community or something? i can't remember who it is or where he/she was from.
That be me.
Just FYI....I currently have an interview on HiTech's desk and am just waiting for it to come back to me before we publish it, and I'm working on a review of AH as my next story for the site (hopefully see that next week).
Haven't forgotten about AH in the news at all....in fact, I come here several times daily, and have reported all of the recent items from the official announcements board (with the exception of the terrain beta, since that was such a small group they were looking for).
We're also working on a story that, while not specific to AH, was generated out of some training arena sparring that Andy Bush, Dan Crenshaw, and I did last week. I'm not writing it, but I'm willing to bet that AH will be mentioned.
I've also posted threads about AH in three of our board forums.
As for Crash and Gman, Gman's review was posted already while he was at CSim and was damn good. Hope mine is of the same quality. If you know the kind of article I write, you can rest assured it will be detailed (read: "oh my god, if this guy writes another word, I'm going to scream"
).
I don't want to speak for another person, but Crash has been pretty damn busy for much of the last week or so doing screenshots off of his new Voodoo5. I know because my evening now isn't complete without our nightly 2-hour long ICQ chat/phone call session getting the next day's set of shots ready.
I know MY flying time's been affected, and I'm sure his has as well. In fact, we were going to go up last night, but we were getting some V5 shots for our Comanche-Hokum review that we posted today.
So, to answer your question, I'm still in....
Ideas for stories are always welcome too, BTW. Hell, so are criticisms, praise, and good stock tips.
[UPDATE: 3:45 PM ET I just got my interview back from HiTech, so barring fire, flood, plagues of locusts, etc., it will be going up tomorrow AM first thing.]
See you up there,
