Some guys should STFU and take a long look at their own posts before critizising others about language or attitude. And perhaps those rambing about who would be and who would not be welcome in AH should reevaluate their own ability to speak for the AH community.

Tards.

Chang is afoot overthere....

At least they're changing .

No-one's trying to speak for the community, as far as I can see. That would be impossible.

But everyone is welcome to their own opinion, surely. And when you get called a communist for expressing views that someone might not agree with, you are not going to respond with chocolates and flowers.

Hortlund> Cabby would be more than welcome if he could stop having a dig at the community at every oppurtunity. Take a look at AGW and the same morons who jump on anyone who mentions AH even when comparing features they'd like to see in WB. If those players would drop the BS and give Aces High ago then I'd be happy to help them out but if they are just going to visit a bulletin board of a sim they don't play and have another pop at the community here then no I won't welcome them and say "hey you're right we all suck!"

That's all by the by, those that think Warbirds is dead are wrong..it's just pining for the fjordes.

Alan you've not helped yourself with the posts in the O-club

Suave · « **Reply #36 on:** January 11, 2003, 07:24:23 AM »

Does it really matter ? I mean, there's this community, and then there's Aces High .

Unfortunately, this went about the way I thought it would, though perhaps a little nicer.

Cabby, speaking for myself only, I have absolutely no problem with anyone flying this sim... but then, what would it matter if I did? I don't own the game. If WB goes under (and that's a big "IF" right now) we will see an influx of players, bet on it. This can go well, or it can be painful, but it is going to mainly depend on how they come over. If they come in with an open mind, and are ready to adjust, it will be cool, and they will find many friends to help them out, old squaddies, and some pretty interesting events. If they come in swinging their elbows around like you just did with your first post, it won't be pretty and will fulfill the prophecy about our community you seem to hold. Just sayin'.

Revvin, i'm sorry mate but your opinion about S3s is uninformed and biased at that.

S3s are PRIVATELY ORGANIZED event. It is designed, maintained and ran by 3 guys, and they are under NO obligation to iEN or its customers.
If you desire to have an event where 3 guys fly in circles naked around the vulcano at 4 am in the morning, you are welcome to it as well. Why would you be obligated to accept someone who doesn't want/can't do exacly the event you designed ?

S3s were ran in Euro friendly time while back. One event when at 3 pm EST on sundays and it was a disaster.
- connections were toejam.
- attendance addition by Euro squads did not offset the attendance losses that were imposed on US squads.

So Janitors decided not to do that anymore.
It's their event, it's their call.
If you don't like it, you are welcome to start an S3 on your own.
However, don't you dare to berate their work with the stupid stereotypes like "American series....". There are quite few europians who actually decided it was better then sleep and do fly at the hours it happends. If it isn't good enough for you, then like i said, start your own.

Else i'd like to register a complaint about the time when Primer League games are played. I am not ready nor avaiable to watch them at 3 pm EST, please reschedule !!!

Revvin · « **Reply #39 on:** January 11, 2003, 08:46:41 AM »

Perhaps you have a comprehension problem but I never berated the S3 event, what I did do was point out it was equalled by the TOD series in AH which runs in Euro and US friendly time so that not just american squads can take part. As for Euro squads not wanting to take part...many take part in the EMC's alongside non squad affiliated pilots so there is/was the interest there. I suggest you unwad your panties and re-read this thread and see who came here berating another sim.

I can only speak for myself... I am glad that WB exists... the few guys that are left there are the, as was said "taliban" of simmers... hunkering down in their cave knowing that they are the true believers and that "fun" is an evil.

I don't want the majority of em over here constantly whining for an RPS and axis vs allied 'realism'. I also think mac users need a place to whine.

The enemys of variety, parity and fun are hiding out in WB... gawd I hope they stay there.

Well Hortlund since your attacking reply was partly in response to my post I believe I need to bring to you, more clearly, the substance of that post.

To ensure no one would take my post as speaking for the entire AH community, I typed the words "I believe". This, of course, means my belief, and noone else's. Meaning I am not speaking for the entire AH community. I wanted to make that clear, but apparently you missed it.

Then to amplify the fact I do not speak for the entire AH community, I typed, "In my opinion" at the end of my post.

Now what "In my opinion" means is that it is my opinion and my opinion only and may or may not be the opinion of others. It fruther points out that I do not speak for the entire AH community. So I hope this helps you understand my post alittle bit better.

It is really too bad you decided to attack the entries of this board before having a true understanding of the poster intentions.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Have a nice day!

Warbirds will go on but for how long? what impact will another change of team do to it? it set Warbirds back quite far when Wild Bill drove the original team away and since then mismanagement by iEN (not the dev team) has meant Warbirds has slipped behind the competition with the team struggling to develop with the resources they were given. From HS's cryptic message more of the dev team seem to be ready to leave and I think perhaps one will be Iceman judging from comments in another thread. Will they go and create their own WW2 online sim? if so how many of the WB faithful will call it a day and go and play their sim as happened with Aces High and World War II Online? Even if Wild Bill has or will get quality replacements for the departing team members (and I mean those with real software industry experience not well meaning player contributions) how far will WB's development fall behind whilst they get to grips with the WBIII engine after all HS often blamed Hitech's code for slow WB development. After all those possibilities WB could then face Wild Bill pulling the team off WB development to work on other products as he did for the final few months of 2002 and he's already stated his wish to make an Iraqi tank game and a snowboarding game as well as an RPG.

I always saw Hotseat as a figurehead. He was pretty good about taking credit for anything good and even better about placing blame for anything bad.

Seems to me this is just more of the same.

Honestly, I don't remember those types of posts when HT and Pyro left.
