<S> To Grizzly for a great post. I singled out this paragraph to elaborate on. This LAST influx of AW's to AH is the die-hards.
We supported AW just to make sure our friends at Kesmai got PAID. Wiht all of them laid off, and AW dead on it's feet - we can now move on with a clear conscience.
This last group contains the "go down with your ship types" ... The ones with much mettle and little fear. It also contains the Bigweekers... which are prolly the most dangerous "flame warriors" in the entire online world (from sheer experience at the art form, not inherant malice) lacking an enemy, they "spar" amongst themselves for "sport" and score the results on a mental "kill board" with a memory as long as Soloman.
Anyway, all of this last group knew long ago they would come HERE, not Warbirds, if and when AW finally went tits up under EA's "expert" management. And if you read the threads - you know why we'd come to HTC's home and not the corporate abortion of Warbirds.
This last group are hardly "newbies" and never humble... but we make great friends and foes.
I'm already looking forward to the AH CON to meet all my friends old and new....
-W

But many never left AW until it was shut down and now choose to come here. These players are of strong character (I bet HiTech chuckles at this) and their presence will be felt.
