All Threads Should Be Locked By Default

Brooke, not sure if you ever were a member of FW or ICOM - but lots of AH people there.

What are FW and ICOM?

[-gg-]

Brooke, they are my forums. In my signature

flamewarriors.net - since 2008. Spin off from AH BBS

ICOM - my newer forum. AH players there as well. Arlo got banned  because he can't follow rules, but I let him back

"Conservative, climate- denying gun nuts square off against libtard, alarmist, broom-wielding pu**es. Get your bellybutton in here!"

  

That might be the one for me. 

[-gg-]

not begging anyone to come over. 800 people did back in 2008.

just offering a place where you guys won't be moderated.

[Brooke]

GG, which of the two do you participate on the most?

[-gg-]

I'm not on FW anymore but I keep it running and keep an eye on it. I hang out at ICOM.

FW has more people and has been around longer.

[Arlo]

GG, which of the two do you participate on the most?

She admins both but claims she doesn't like FW all that much anymore.

You really shouldn't talk about things you have no idea about.

[Arlo]

I base anything about Gina on her posts.

Discussing current events is fun.

Those are the topics that are active and full of participation.

These days, 90% of everything is politics.  If you can't talk about politics, you can't talk about: world events, national events, local events, education, medicine, economics, markets, jobs, entertainment, business practices, Twitter, Facebook, media, housing, electric cars, weather, philosophy, manufacturing, mining, food production, military, infrastructure, finance, inflation.

What's left is chirping crickets.

Maybe we can get a private forum, which you have to be admitted to, where we can talk about stuff.  Folks are only there if they requested access.  Where we can talk about interesting things with our AH pals.

I like the idea 

It would give the moderator a break from having to field all the report button notifications.

But -- I understand that HT doesn't want to be dealing with hassles and problems related to message board discussions.

And the easiest is just to preclude stuff.

Sounds pretty Soviet-inspired.

Sounds pretty Soviet-inspired.

Hmm.  He did put Soviet aircraft into the game.  Including that Yak-3.   

[Eagler]

Something changed...I think some people became more sensitive...as we had some real good back and forth over the 2000 election..2008 had a good discussion too..

Just search al gore in the search box above to be transported back to a less regulated time

Yak3 and la7, two of the best furball planes in the game, unperked and collectively get more kills than any other plane. I'd say we have a conspiracy on our hands
