Title: THE GOLDEN LIST
Post by: Peanut1 on March 02, 2021, 03:42:52 PM
Hitech, let's make a list. Put me as the first on it. Of people willing to pay twice the price monthly, if you were to hire a young chump to keep the develoupment of aces high going under your watchful eyes. I can not afford your liquor, but I can surely help pay the hourly wage of a part time employee. I won't ask you to work during retirement more than you already do. But golly, if this game ever goes anywhere I just might have to go with it. <S> and I'm serious.

This would cost far more then you might think.

I believe it, but heck, surely we could get a few hours a week paid for? These planes can't take more than 5 hours to finish from scratch eh? 😉

And by the way, these types of comments are exactly what I give you grief for. They just don't do anything for the community.. Not that I have ever been a Pain in the ass.

Yes... I paid for over a year and could not play after Harvey flooded my home. I can't play now because 32 hours with no power in a deep freeze busted a pipe over my office and ruined my controls. I am still paying my monthly fee.

I never asked for any pause in payments..... I look at it as supporting the game. I also have sent hardware to several players and have even bought new hardware for some and had them pick it up at a store near them or had it delivered. I have also paid the monthly fees of several players over the years to help them through hard times.

I like to think I've done my share to keep the game alive. I have paid monthly since I started this game... without a break. I doubt many, if any, have a streak longer.     :aok

I actually saved my corsair k95 elite kb and my headset.

All my CH gear.... not so lucky.

You are the second to offer help. I sincerely thank you very much. I will tell you as I told the other person.... thank you but I will be ordering new gear. My CH stuff was getting long in the tooth anyway.

Save that gear for someone who is really in need. That is a mighty fine gesture on your part.  :aok.  :salute

Some of us started sooner in AH than we did in this forum

I have paid continually for over 20 years though there was a couple of times other things in life pulled me from the game.

I think you your golden list would be very short if not singular

Would paying double give you aimbot and the ability to see thru trees?

I've had a few breaks in subscription over the last 17 years but more often than not have been on the books. Currently have been paying the sub for nearly a year with only one day of playing logged. It's just my way of saying thanks to Hitech for giving me so many years of fun and, in part, creating a community that has in some ways shaped the happy human being I have become.

Ditto for me.  I don't play a lot.  And, I have had gaps in playing for longer than I have memory of....

and, Peanut, Hitech does a WHOLE heck of a lot.  But, if you bring in part time employees or even individuals willing to code, even on a volunteer basis, you have to worry about ethics and a whole other lot of issues.

Well-intentioned thought, but I can't speak for Hitech, but he's got a hard job and brining in folks as you suggest might create more work for him than he already has.
