Title: HiTech
Post by: Busher on March 21, 2024, 02:00:13 PM
Gents, I am a little concerned about Dale. It seems his last board post was Jan 31.

I had a major computer crash and need his help with the admin' issues in getting back but emails and phone messages aren't accomplishing anything.

Any members live close to him that can check on his well being?

Thanks

Reach out to Kenai77 (jimmyd3 on forums)... he seems to be in fairly regular contact and visits.

If you click on his name on one of his posts, it says he was last active March 11.

He shows up if you say certain words or phrases on the message boards that cause a few certain select people to mash the report button

Nott aware where you see that. This reply to Lazerr was the most recent I could find:

He's saying that if you click on hitech's name and look at his profile summary, it shows the last active time was on March 11th.

was my original handle. Had to leave the game for a while when AH3 came out. Came back years later after I got an adequate computer built that would handle the improved game.

I’ve seen a lot of what I consider new names, smart enough to keep distance from the negative bbs.

Some of us have screws loose <twitches neck>

So...what's your handle now, dude?

Inquiring minds wish to know.  And to look for you in MNM, MA, or elsewhere.

Open to ideas on that. All was lost so I'll likely have to make a new one... but only if I can get HT to stop billing me for the lost one.

Its seriously funny as sin that it takes 4-6 of you former players to condpire to ‘trip’ just the right trigger. Cpt.Trips is praying as he coaches you, as he wire out his welcome so bad mist have him on ignore, his trolling no longer has the same effect. So, you’re # 5 making a fool of yourself thinking you have the magic button. Ha!

Dunning-Kruger. You actually think you’re witty, you actually think I’m as lame as you.

Its really no longer about the sims you former players attend, its that yas make that community appear to be s magnet fir arrogant fool. I wouldn’t fly thise sims just be ause the immature dweebery they draw. The true dumpster fires. As this community has more class under their pinky fingernails that in your whole body.

It must really suck there that you choose to wade in a “dumpster fire” you claim this is.

Therefore your intensions are clear and shall be treated as such, as others have also sgreed with me to you..

Trips should do his own dirty work.

I totally know what you’re attempting. Its not rocket science, far from witty. I’m here, its staying that way.

#5, move along.

NEXT!!

Fair perception. Physically and mentally.. He took some major bashings by morons, now his family situation, too much negative. Right now, he requires positive.

Agreed. We are trying to draw numbers. We want to be here despite the situation.

I disagree. 200 and bbs were worse years past. I wouldn’t even visit the bbs after a while, because of the rampant arrogance. All one has to do is look how former players act here actually trying to skim players and bad mouth our game. We lost the worst. Numbers are lower but rock solid stable. We WANT to be here. The others took their crybaby balls and went home. They cause more trouble than current paying players. We are the hardcore AHers.

I think the gaming industry as a whole has changed over time.  I mean look at all the options out there for gaming, not just limited to air combat simulation.

I personally don't play other games, but I'm not oblivious to the fact there are literally millions of other options out there.

Would prefer 500 to 800 here??  Duh.

Is the game still fun the way it is?  Definately.

I agree completely but I remain concerned about this game. It seems that HiTechcreations is likely a one-man business so his recent absence should concern us all.

Life can and likely will kick you in the teeth. Happens to many if not most of us. So long as the income for this endeavor is greater than the cost it will continue. That's my opinion and I'll stick with it until evidence says otherwise.

I tend to not worry about things I can't control...

He is a one man show, no maybe about it.

But the game is still good.. so.... I'll repeat myself.

Could it be better?? Yes.

Will it change much?  Unlikely

Are there other options out there??  Yeah

Play the game and comment, or don't do either.  If you are thinking about re-subscribing Busher, keep in the back of your mind there won't be updates.
