FWIW, I take no sides here. I knew who Rude would pick based on his tone in your thread, that's all.

So be warned, everyone, if your post doesn't measure up to Mr Rudes standards, your post can be the next victim.

Oh the horror!!!!!    :eek:

I think you're taking this waaaay too seriously LePaul, but that's just my opinion.

Nice try guys.

In retrospect, since I started this Whiney thingie, it probably has served very little purpose other than to amuse me during my work day.

It all boils down to this....

I pay $15.00 a month for an outstanding sim/game which I derive fun and pleasure from day in and day out. The developers are responsive to customers in a way not seen before in the 10 years I've been playing. The community is vibrant...full of characters both funny and intense.

Now, having said this, I read through this board and find some folks(very few and usually the same one's)complaining about this and that and why can't I have this plane and why do we stay in this map or why does this groud vehicle not accurately model true top speed, etc. I think to myself...$15.00 a month? It's a great time and it's only $15.00 a month...how can anyone whine about this sim at $15.00 a month???

Now to be passionate about your hobby and state concerns or wants or hopes for your hobby, in a helpful or positive fashion is great...HTC listens and responds as they feel necessary...that's a good thing.

However, to just moan and whine about things you have no control over is, well, silly imo.

LePaul...it is my guess that if you would have spoken on private or contacted some of the new guys personally, that effort would have yielded gains positive towards the improvement of not only gameplay but the community as a whole. Instead, you chose to come here and vent your disapproval in the face of those who are new to this sim. I personally feel that was done in poor taste and struck me as whinin, pure and simple. You obviously disagree.

Viper....Anyone who knows me will tell you, I am many things. Insecure is not one of them...but, if it makes ya feel better  :)

I have come to realize, that the time spent playin catch with you two, is not time well spent. Perhaps this is a victory for you of some sorts, but I may just ditch this Whine of the Week thingie, and let others declare your ramblings as art or fodder.

Remember, if it looks like a whine....sounds like a whine...smells like a whine...then it's LePaul! :D

Just kiddin ya LeWhine...err Lepaul :)

Don't quit Rude, most of us would miss it.  Hmmm...if there were a spot, say on a certain FDB-run BB off site from here, would you continue?  I'm sure if Exile & Mason would get off their tired arses and get the new FDB site going, they would be happy to add in a spot for Whine of the Week!   :)

Dunno...I kinda think whining about something you DO have control over is a truer whine. LePauls' angst about newbies could  easily be soothed by the simple use of the .squelch and .showjoin commands. Gotta admit...he did kinda set himself up.  :rolleyes:

Don't let the whiners win Rude!

If it makes a few whiners think twice before posting, then it's doing it's job as well as providing a few chuckles.  It's no coincidence that most of the people complaining have been worthy recipients of the award.

Keep 'em coming.  :)

P.S.  I also find it interesting that the complainers still don't seem to have a clue what a "whine" is.

Don't know about LePaul's being the winning whine, but I think that you should be a paying customer to win. Therefore cabby is not eligible.
