I would ask the community, at large, to not go over to thier boards with any idea of drawing them to AH.

It is inappropriate to do so. They all know about Aces High already. If they want to come here, then allow them to make the choice without any prompting from the AH community.

Thank you.

I think that Skuzzy hit it right on the head. We should let them be and not force the issue. Personally I don't think the remaining players that are there will step over to AH anyway. As Ripsnort said most of the ones left hold trainer positions there and would not publicly let it be know they were playing in AH either.

I would have to think that a majority of the players that are left there are Mac user's and either can not/do not want to run AH on their machines. Plus I know many of the former and current WB players are helping build the Targetware mods and the client itself and will probably take their dollars there when the game goes into Open Beta. So don't look for an influx of the old die hard WB'ers just keep your eyes peeled for the noob's who don't want to head off to TargetWare.

There will come a day soon when Wild Bill will deliver the death blow to WB. When that day comes it will be a sad time in online flight sim history and I can see many it in the foggy haze of the next year or so.

a little respect pls

for WB3, WB DE and WBfree players.

Many if them are great guys who just not like AH or have to small knowlage about AH. Its his right and chose. Remember mostly of them like squadies and when change sim doing this all together.
Thats not depends from graphics, FM........ and all this things.
Depends from spirit they have and money /wbfree/.

My first touch with AH not convince me to this sim and 2 trials i use too. So why they should change if AH players insult them like that? Pls try to be polite and nice for this peoples. And not create "unfriendly" enviroment

Som move here allready, som play free wb, by his own choice
But look like evryone moves to AH. I not heard about player who start from AH and swich to WB3 or wbfree.

No disrespect intended. I'm a great fun of free stuff myself. That's how I got into AH after all(free trial, then a year of free H2H).

I was just repeating what I heard about WBfree, on this BBS. I am totally ignorant as to its location and who runs it. Please let me at least have WBfree's URL. I wanna check it out from sheer curiosity, as AH offers me all the multiplayer air combat experience I need.
~~and sorry for the misuderstanding~~

...personally I think taking ones self out of their respective comfort zones in any aspect of life is the key to getting ahead but thats a philosophical aspect.

I just got laid off a job i held for many many years.. in a company i had a large part in creating..

i guess that would mean i've been taken outta my 'comfort zone'.

since i'm not likely at age 50 to get another job that could keep me as 'comfortable' as i was, and since this layoff means virtual financial total destruction of my life it could be tendered that the 'philosophical aspect' amounts to the owner gets to keep the beautiful plane with the hanger in the hamptons, the house by the country club, the miata, the perks, the vehicles, the assets and the prestige created by somebdy elses hard work while all i get is 26 weeks of unemployment checks.

rip, it's easy to sit in yer comfy house with the carpeted garage and wax philosophical on trickle down economics for the little people but lemme tell yah something real here..

getting kicked out on the street is not a key to getting ahead, its key to getting run over by thoughtless blind tulips that think it's no big deal when its somebody elses life that get tossed in the crapper.

that is all. you may return to your glib dissertations on 'comfort zones'.

So you are a thief too? Ramzey also named WB3 and DE players, who are paying customers. Last I heard you were still contributing to the Wild Bill Stealey T-28 Maintenance Fund, so be careful what names you call yourself.

Ramzey's point is that if we want WB players to join AH, we should not treat them with disrespect just because we think they play a stupid game.

Which is pretty much exactly what you have said a few times. Maybe next time try to read and understand the whole post before firing off a kneejerk flame upon hearing one of your "trigger words".

And you weren't calling my squaddie a mafioso were you? I'm sure you weren't, as you would need to retract such hateful slander.

Let's not do a WW2OL and go 'advertising' AH on other flightsim boards. That would be a wee bit hypocritical.
