(choke) You had to say it didn't ya Ack Ack? Don't you know it still hurts? I'm trying to heal and whenever someone says "Air Warrior" it sets my recovery back six months...and when they say "Relaxed Realism" it sets my recovery back a full year.

Some of you are some sad sack, bitter little puppies.

For those who seem so intent on insulting DocDoom at least have an idea on what part of the sim he works on. He builds towns, afaik he has nothing to do with the FM. However I gather that will not stop you from insulting somebody anyway possible. /shrug

I just couldn't quite let this one slip past unnoticed. How many people are on the HTC staff? 7? And how many monitor the bbs for unruly behavior? Just Skuzzy? Doesn't seem to be a problem here.....

I think they believe HTC is on a parallel with EA or something in terms of size.

I think that is an immense compliment.

Your forums aren't as busy as WWIIOL's though. It is nothing to make a post on a thread then have tolook for it on page 2, 10 minutes later.

this is with closed forums. Can you imagine how bad it would be with open forums.

And again, your forums have not had to deal with a Blair. he is a one man wrecking crew in that regard, not that is a compliment though he will probably take it that way. It is because he is so obsessed.

Just because it's not happening today doesn't mean it doesn't happen here too, Sneaky. These forums have gotten a little cold at the moment while we wait for AH2 to be released and don't have a war to talk about. But posts disappear pretty quickly when there's something worth talking about.

Now I admit, I have no idea what the WW2OL boards are like, because the game holds no interest for me so I haven't bothered to look. There's a chance that you're right and there are 15,000 monkeys with typewriters going at it all day every day there. But somehow I don't think the boards are as different as you'd like to believe. There may be different people in each, but the same events in the same world can only be talked about so many different ways. And if there's one thing I've learned from reading this BBS, it's that people love to talk, even when no one feels like listening to them. Which is probably what I'm doing right now, so I'll stop here.

LOL nah, I was listening.

Don't let the fact that I was staring at your manboobs mislead you. I was listening.

Actually the WWIIOL boards are the busiest boards I have ever been on. It lists 30 threads per page and there are 12 pages of threads. If you want to keep track of a thread you have to save it in your favorites in your browser because if it falls off the 12th page you lose the ability to get to it.

It is nothing to post in a topic on a friday night and go back Saturday night and can't find it on any of the 12 pages. This is on the OT forum though. The Barracks for Infantry discussion and the Hangar are the two next busiest forums and it may take a couple of days for a topic to fall off the forum.

these are normal days, when something big is going on it gets crazy.

Don't take it as a slight to AH, it's a compliment. You guys must actually have lives!

Your forums have some nice features missing from the WWIIOL ones. You have the cool smilies, ours don't. So I hijack them for use in a post over there sometimes!

You also get an email notification if someone responded to a thread you have posted in. We don't have that. It would be nice to have.

We also don't have the auto quote, url, bold, underline buttons, etc...

Those are nice to have. We have to actually type the forum code stuff lol.

Ah... just what the O'Club needed. Another non-AH player coming in and critiquing everyone else.... all the while failing to realize he himself has the comprehension of a 12 year old.

imsneaky, you really should have just left well enough alone. Trying to come in here and pretend that somehow over the course of playing WW2OL for the last two years you just learned about AH in time to witness the "immaturity" of a thread and become disillusioned with the entire AH community as a rusult is just plane idiocy and the epitomy of immaturity.

Continuing in the thread (36 of 137 posts) in the way you have has done nothing to drive home the "one community is more/less mature" point you were initially trying to make. You look like hardcase. That is not intended as a compliment.

Let it go and get back to your own game. But what am I saying?... that would be the mature thing to do.
