Just curious to see if the advertisment is working

Id have to say its working. I was signed up as a trainerr for the past few weeks - more newbies coming in than you would believe.

I doubt, however, that many of them are even aware of the BBS.

I have had several people I know mention they have seen it. None have joined up as of yet.

They should air the comercial on MTV during the show UNDRESSED

The MTV comercial would have a lot of fast music with footage of planes ramming each others and the FDB killing chutes with rockets. And of course the comercial would be narrated by hyperactive skater dude yelling the game's qualities in a very high pitched X-TREEEEEEME voice.

I was thinking more along the lines of fast music with short clips of the game followed by long clips of incredable babes (we can volunteer YANKEE and Ronie for those parts) in suitless bathing strings lusting after the amazingly sexy virtual warrior as he vanquished his dweeby LA7 flying foe.

The new catch phrase would be "You gettin' a Dora, dude!"

Was helping a guy in the TA who downloaded the game right after the seeing the commercial. He only had a mouse to fly with, but was going to buy a joystick the next day.

A couple of weeks ago I spent two and a half hours helping a guy who'd found the game via the Discovery Wings ad.

They've had a free preview of Discovery Wings here for the last week and I saw the ad once. Oddly, it was within 30 minutes of looking for it.

We need to put our best foot forward and welcome these new users. We need to keep in mind that many of them may not even be gamers and be entering a completely new environment. That can be daunting even without people telling them confusing acronyms like "RTFM".

Lets be as helpful as we can, or keep silent if we don't wish to help at the time.

I have't yet seen the commercial on DWINGS...

Thats how I found this game.

I found out about the DWINGS channel playing this game. Does that count?
