Please keep discussions on topic as much as possible.  The general forum tends to get overrun with discussions that have forums designated for them.  We're going to move those that don't belong here in the future, so please help us out and don't start them here.

I know I'm gonna regret this...

Here's the last 20 posts, in order, and the forum I assume they should fall under.

guns idea - Gameplay feedback/issues

ostwind vs strat  - Gameplay feedback/issues

Did anything happen to the 50 cal? - Aircraft and Vehicles

Has this happened to you? - Officer's Club

Med League - Special Events General (or announcements)

question bout the n1ki - Aircraft and Vehicles

Hey we got a spel checker   - Hmm..not sure  

E-retention - Aircraft and Vehicles

What do that Voodoo do? - Hardware and Software

Hurri IIc - Aircraft and Vehicles

better guns on JU88's? - Aircraft and Vehicles

A newbies comments - Gameplay feedback/issues

Why hasn't this been implemented? It's *DUH* material - Gameplay feedback/issues

New and/or Old way to kill a BUFF - Help and Training

Er... nevermind... ya get my point. What constitutes General Discussion?

... and I'm a fool for responding to this. It's up to you guys at HTC to not only make the game but set the tone... And you've been doing an outstanding job so far <S>. I guess I'm just curious about the ambiguity of your post.

(btw, I posted a subject that I regretted as soon as I hit the Submit key, yesterday... mea culpa)

At first, I never cruised any of the other boards, only this one.

Possibly people post here because they feel that more people read this board than the others?  With all the other boards, this one would soon dwindle down to only a few posts imho.

Anyways thanks for the reminder Pyro.

Really the only way to cure this problem is to remove the "General Discussion" board alltogether.  Since "general" implies that "any" topic in any remote way related to Aces High is OK then it will always be the most used board.  This is why I suggest it be removed and only topical boards exist with the exception of "The O club"

On second thought, I'll delete the sarcasm  

I think there are so many forums (22 of them) that people feel their posts will be lost in the fray so they opt for the "front page" IE, the general forum.

Rock:  Ya see that Ensign, lighting the cigarette?
Powell: Yes Rock.
Rock: Well that's where I got it, he's my son.
Powell: Really Rock, well I'd like to meet him.
Rock:  No ya wouldn't.

I suggest Pyro to put two new forums called:

"Axis squeak and Moan Forum"

and

"Allied squeak and Moan Forum"

And we will see if there are more LW or Allied whiners

Good move pyro... <S>

Although, as a player, I'd personally rather see your time working on the product than being a BBS editor.

Echoing six months ago.....

This BBS environment needs HTC appointed Moderators.

Badger

not a very smart move, considering your forum status.
