I truly wonder what the ratio is on AGW of people who post there, vs people who post there and still actually fly it.
How many times have you seen this: "I no longer fly Warbirds, but I still send in my cheque to support its growth, for competition is good". Or something close to it. I can *kinda* see the reasoning there, but it's weak imho. When was the last time you bought a crap product (let's say a B. Spears CD) for the sole purpose of supporting the product category in general (the music industry)? And how is that money well spent when they cease development of it and instead stick those charity dollars up their A.S.S.?
My sense (and it's just that) is that ya've got a group of folks who are more tied (just, comfortable) with the WBs community, but have pretty much given up actually flying it. And my guess is that this is where this typical lazer gunnery hacking urban myth nonsense derives from. It wouldn't suprise me to find out that his three hour evaluation of AH (cheeyah) comprises the majority of his time flyin' *anything* over the last 3 months. Probably untrue, but still sad. And by no means an authority on anything, much less to be taken seriously.
With iEN's dropping development of the game, WB's is becoming more and more irrelevant. Personally, I watch the AGW BBS out of fascination... like a human behavioral study... of people who just won't let go of something that's long since let go of them.
