DON'T GO INTO THE LIGHT!

AGW is where they put MG when he's not in here taunting us.

It's pure, concentrated, EVIL!

It's a BBS where a year ago, if you posted anything about Aces High, you would be hailed with insults and the game itself attacked.
Now, it's a place where you can post about any game and you don't get flamed too badly since they've figured out that their code in 2.76 is outdated, just like we've been telling them for a year.
-
A very interesting place...If you go there and read some of the posts there, it feels like when you look through the window of a house where the people in it are trying to hit, splat, insult, kick, etc etc etc each others...
And you see a lot of flames too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

True Hblair, but I havn't seen anything posted above thats not true!
Personally I don't miss it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

What I see them arguing about, mainly, are Warbirds related things.
Unlike here, where it gets childish at times.
(That is a joke, children)
-
Agreed Gadfly, even if it was a joke.
Funny how Rip can post something on AGW about AH and get positive feedback from the WB community, (like his latest post) but if you post something here about WB it gets attacked childishly like in this thread.
Spend an hour reading this board, then spend an hour reading AGW, then you tell me.
Both informative, but very different.
O well, keep growing. <S> (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

First of all Westy, what does that have to do with AH disscussions on WB, and WB disscussions on AH.
Second, that`s real mature of you to mispell Blue.
Third, I thought I handled the SG`s immature personal attacks very well, at least the best I could. He should have e-mailed me. I offered a fair acceptence in my first post, and they just continued to throw the insults and incorrect accusations. I kept my cool as long as I could.
I am still not happy about that, and not too thrilled that you would take something personal of mine and post it here totally out of context. If anything, you should have gave your fellow AH members the recent post by Rip, that would have been RIGHT on the subject:
http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw//Forum3/HTML/016593.html (http://agw.dogfighter.com/agw//Forum3/HTML/016593.html)
Sure you will allways have some apples in a group, but WB majority is usually positive about AH postings. And I find here that is not the case, most will be negitive about WB, and the few will be positive.
I find you posting that url about me VERY strange.

Rip was posting new technology for AH to inform those customers of WB about what AH's new version will incorporate. When you have a new version of WB, by all means post information about it over here. I'd be interested.

Sky Bax. I edited my post well before you replied because I re-thought about posting to you at all. why? Because you can be a p.i.t.a. and I figured I'd avoid seeing another posts if I removed mine. I see you are still here. Not a customer, not a community member. but yet, you are still lurking and posting here.
So why did I post that link? Because it is just one example of the childish and immature behavior to be found on AGW. Behavior that you seem to abhor and look down your nose at. At least on your shirt sleeve you do. Yet you and the Blue noses acted like a pack of Cub Scouts ready to defend the tree fort at the slightest transgression by the neighboring troop. And nothing is "personal" nor private when aired on a public forum Sky Bax.
I've not read an objective topic or discussion on AH over there in at least a year. Few started off a on an objective footing but they quickly degenerated into vile, spiteful and jeuvinile personal attacks on the posters who fly AH and evenutally to the company at HTC. If you see it otherwise you're in denial or outright playing games.
And to be objecite why didn't you post Wulfe and MG's topics that are in no way shape or form anything but spiteful and derogatory towards AH? Because objectivity you could care less about.

AH : Maniac
WB : -nr-1-

Okay Maniac, new version news is what I meant. I've already heard about the revamped graphics engine about a hundred times.
If you got any information other than the graphical enhancements it's recieving, then yes do post here I'd like to know.

Wrong answer, that post was the FIRST POST on AGW in over a year that got positive feedback from the AGW community.
Its obvious, SkyBax, that you don't visit this board much.. do alittle thread searching, I've nary a word about Warbirds being bad, in here or AGW, I even defended WB's from those who do slam it. My assessment is they both have something good to offer. Hell ,I've said many times that WB's was my 'First Love' (Actually Dos-AW was, but couldn't afford to fly it as much)I have said it was outdated..which it is.
I encourage newbies to flight sims to fly WB's first before coming to Aces High. Seems they have an easier transition to the online flight sims with WB's since they offer a larger planeset .
Try again Sky.

I can vouch that Rip1 gets ripped on AGW more then he gets praised (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
BTW, I see very little difference in the postings here and there. Some are good, some are bad but they are mostly focused on any one particular Sim.
The latest over in Warbirds is that there is a Midway scenario tomorrow 12/2, with a new terrain and multiple CVs.
And there will be an experimental "Expert Arena" being setup for experienced pilots only. Its not the same as the HA arena but similar and should be interesting to see how it gets populated.

Good luck on your MIDWAY scenario, Ram1, I Came-This-Close to opening up an account for it since I'm a big fan of PTO, however, just don't seem to have the time I had a few years back (2 and 4 yr old kids, hehe, gotta love em, but man, sucks up your time!)
Oh, and Ram1, I brought on alot of that harassment myself, once I found out how 'sensitive' some were on the competition, the 'evil' side surfaced, goading some of those 'sensitive' types on with my 'cheerleading', muhahahahaha!

AGW is like this board, but there are some major differences:
1. The name is different.
2. They fly a different sim.

"So why did I post that link? Because it is just one example of the childish and immature behavior to be found on AGW. Behavior that you seem to abhor and look down your nose at.

Lets get something straight Westy, somebody in the community challenged me in a duel publicly. I felt that should be done privatly unless that person is trying to prove something or is in need to inflate their ego. Hell, 2 days before he posted about squad duels and nobody responded. So he was just being himself and I accepted. A very important part of the story that is being left out is another squadie of mine directed cheating remarks to that squad and was bad timing for threads. He and his buddies then continued to drag the thread out and make immature comments and false accusations. I have no control over that, only control over what I say. I didn`t lower my standards to their level of name calling and such. Whatever my squaddies had to say in that post I have no control over either, only control over what I say.
So Westy, show me where my behavior was childish and immature in that thread? IMO all the BS was coming from them. What is it to you anyways? As far as my comment about that thread being personal you know what I meant, I worded it wrong. It wasn`t on subject about one`s sim info on another sims board, it was a 100% WB thread on the WB board about me. Better?
"Wrong answer, that post was the FIRST POST on AGW in over a year that got positive feedback from the AGW community."
No, wrong answer Rip. That is 100% false. That is one of your many AH posts that get a ton of positive feedback on AGW. I know because I see it and read it over and over. The majority likes to see it, thats what I see, and I call it as I see it.
"Its obvious, SkyBax, that you don't visit this board much.. do alittle thread searching, I've nary a word about Warbirds being bad, in here or AGW, I even defended WB's from those who do slam it. My assessment is they both have something good to offer."
You lost me there, I never said anything about YOUR personal comments toward either sim.
I read this board often, I have AH on my HD and I like the sim. It has some great features that WB doesn`t. I just prefer WB because IMO it offers so much more "overall"
"Never show weakness, I will exploit it"
You just said more about yourself than you realise. Exploiting other peoples weaknesses is the act of a very small person.

I was talking about the overall jeuvinile behavior Sky bax. I chose the topic as I knew it would probably cut close to home. Like you, I chose to use a broad brush to mark a community as childish due to minor elements.
Obviously you missed the point or you're just "into" semantics and word play.
