The thread with info on people in AH: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/001488.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/Forum1/HTML/001488.html)
You can do the metrics, I haven't the time today.
-
Okay, Daff, I was off on the avg. age, I said 38, its 33.8 years avg. age. The metrics for those who served in their respective countries was on the AGW about a year ago, you'll have to search that thread, I may find the time today though. Keep in mind that in Germany and other countries service time is Mandantory at age 18, so when I said about 40%, I'll be that figure is within 10% of what I was quoted as saying...

Hey Daff, no reply? Wassup? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hey sorry, Rip..I'm not constantly watching the BBS's in case someone wanted my attention.
Here's ya quote:
http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw/Forum3/HTML/011947.html (http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw/Forum3/HTML/011947.html)
"FYI,MG aka Macboy, the avg. age in AH is 38 yrs. of age, with 45% having served their country in Armed Forces."
And when asked how you got that number
"Reply's to a post over there, and here about two years ago. Of course, that only accounted for the posters, those that did not post we'll never know, so , it should read "Of those that were polled...""
No mention of the the service number in the thread at all...but I guess half a lie is still better than a complete lie.
Lets take another one..
http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw/Forum3/HTML/011934.html (http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw/Forum3/HTML/011934.html)
"So Daff, you like the 3D views or dislike? I've seen you flying AH alot this past week. " Date stamped May 1...and I didnt fly AH at all the week before that.
Minor thing..perhaps..but yet another one, where you try to "tweak" a thread in your favour with a white lie.
I'm pretty impressed that you actually are willing to start a new thread, just to tell me that at least half of it wasnt a lie..

May as well quote someone who flys AH an aweful lot too: (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
"I've never seen cloud like that in real life, though...get within 10 feet and you white-out.Fuel modifier is artificially high forcing the use of droptanks. View system is, if anything, even more unrealistic than WB. Nobody adjust the seats while looking from left to right. No seat I've ever seen can be adjusted a couple of feet from side to side! There's no SL's, WeW's, EMCs or HA. Most importantly..gunnery is a joke. Want more opinions?"

Ohhh, I'm sorry Daffy, for my TYPO! should have read "Replys to a post over on AGW about 2 years ago, and replys to a post over here.."
Give it a rest, will ya? Man, talk about a disease!
Just for you, I'll attempt to dig that post up on AGW about 2 years ago so (Oh God Forbid) Daffy doesn't think "Im a liar" Hehehehehehe!
Say, you going to the con this year?

You know what, Rip, I'm not interested in a pissing contest with you.
Partly because I'm not very good at them, but they're also an utter waste of time.
I havent promoted WB on this board and I haven't critizid AH either...I'm not interested in doing that. I fly AH a couple of times a month as a distraction. (Mainly during the early part of the RPS, when the P-47 isnt available), but also to say hi to some old friends.
Apart from your recent "posts", the only threads I've replied to have been about airplanes (you know..the WW2 ones, this sim (and board) is about.) or flying in general...not plugging about the qualities (or lack thereof) in AH/WB.
I respect peoples choice of flying AH. Whether they prefer the flightmodel, pricing, community, whatever, it's their choice and I bet they were all perfectly capable of making that decision on their own, without me saying either for or against.

Well said Daff, now leave it at that!
I wouldn't advice calling folks liars on these BB's. It tends to get one very angry.
NOTE: Off-Topic B.B. one can post AH threads in AGW! (thank you very much (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) )
Never did answer my question, you going to the CON?

Ripsnort - I like you man, I really do... but puhleeeaze. Stop with this toejam.

Heh, I dunno what to say to that Rip. I consider Daff to be one of my best 'online' buds. Certainly not an "idjit". The ironic thing is, I have a past with Spitboy also and have always admired the guy. The fact that you are now squaring off with these two guys is kinda amusing, and well... I'll leave it at that.
(just so's ya know, I'm a lurker at AGW so I understand the context here)
I certainly don't wanna jump into the ring with y'all, it's none of my business really. But I'll just say that nobody comes out smellin' clean. You may think you're defending yourself, righting the wrongs... wotevah... but ya can easily end up just looking like the obsessive fanatic with a huge chip on his shoulder.
IOW, you are debating in a public forum, for the public's benefit... and for the most part the perception by the public (other than complete ambivalence) is that *all* of you guys are a little bent. Unfair, maybe... but hey.
There are plenty of existing threads with these battles... Fight them there and be done with it. No need to start up another topic, digging ever deeper into the past postings to make whatever point yer trying to make. Whatever the *original* sore spot, these posts have been reduced to a he said she said... and that's kinda silly now, aint it?
I would just give it a rest.
-
Rip,
This thing between you and the WB crowd at AGW is getting out of hand. Things have quieted down quite a bit and I for one would like to leave it that way. However you seem determined to have the last word and continue to stur this toejam up! Daff has never called you a liar, though he may have disagreed with your numbers, and aparently he was correct, your numbers were a little off.
This constant pissing contest with AGW and WB is getting tiring please stop.

Hehe, no worries Nash. I'm not trying to drag you into anything. I was just wondering if you was the same sumbeetch who warp-rolled his FW all over the MacAW arenas 5 or so years ago (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
How's the band?

<waves> Howdy Spit!
"warp-rolled" my 190? Nah, ya've got me confused with someone else. I was the the guy who mastered the art of the intentionally-induced-flat-spin-lookyhere-I'm-ponting-right-at-the-bastard manuever (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The band? Er...*that* band is no longer... The wheels came off in Nawleans. My current band is doing perty gud tho.
You still in DC?
Er crap... almost forgot. this is a warzone... I better duck outta here. Resume fire!

Old? It just makes me depressed. 5 years and I *still* suck <g>.
Ah those were good times...
-
Ripsnort, the problem is that Daff is not an "idgit".
Please take this crap up on an email, phone call, etc.
-
Btw Spit, is edog (I know, I'm prolly spelling that wrong) over on AGW the very same Florida brain guru Dog we know and love?
If so - say hi to him for me.
