Title: BB' shades.
Post by: FrodeMk3 on December 13, 2006, 02:13:28 PM
I would like to take a moment , and ask the AH BBS community as a whole, to please remember that it is generally considered in bad form to post in shades. Many people will have their ingame CPID listed on their signature if they use a different nom-de-guerre in here.

     P.S: If you are posting as a shade because you've been PNG'd here, Do the right thing, and quit posting. You were PNG'd for a reason.

     To HTC and Crew: No, normally I would'nt back seat moderate, or overstep my authority in any other way. But this crap's getting old.

     Thank You.

I haven't been playing Aces High long enough to know who everyone is and is not.  However, I see a lot of names in the forum I never see in the game.  I suspect that veteran players have a pretty good idea who everyone is.  I often do not know who people are and on occasion recognize someone in the game from the forum here because they are using the same handle or screen name in both places.

People that no longer play the game, or have never played the game are able to post in the forum here.  Sometimes people have family members who post as well or other people that have tried the game on the trial basis and are waiting to decide if they wish to purchase a subscription.  I suppose that not everyone who posts in the forum actually plays the game itself.

Yup and other games give Non-subs limited access to their BBS.
Their reason for that is they don't want to deal with the shade crap that we get here.

I'll never understand why HTC doesn't do the same. Give the non-subs access to Tech forums , Oclub and H2H parts.

My wife plays a game called "The Sims 2" and in that game the registration username has to be used when participating in the forum, or BBS, whichever you prefer to refer to it as.  Since she bought the game on Ebay, she is forced to use the registration name that the former owner created.  That username just happens to be based on the name of a popular teen idle, which makes it nearly impossible for anyone to take what she posts in the forums seriously.  It is actually very entertaining to me when I think about it.  Fortunately, she has little use for the Sims 2 forum in a posting capacity anyway.

Or just give them Read Only access to all forums.  :)  No posting unless you play and post under your game ID.

I used to be Karaya2, now Karaya in-game (I miss the "2" sometimes).  I use Masherbrum because all of my other forum id's are this, and it makes it simple.

I've had more shades than anyone, and even I consider it lame. Well, airvent or bighorn or whatever might actually have me beat, but you get the point.

Right on!

I think BBS handle needs to be tied to the ingame handle.

I also think that if you don't have an active account you should be limited to one post a day.

If your in shades because you got PNG'd off the BBS you should be eligible for tar & feathers. All your posts should start with  "Loser says"

Ohh hell no . If you were png'd it was for a reason.
I'd say give a pardon to all sub players that have been png'd.
After that, if you get png'd agian.  It would just prove you can't play with others and shouldn't be posting here.

Also remember that old time vets that leave and come back sometimes cant get their old ingame id names back.

I've been - blank, blankk, bl4nk and am currently B1ank in game, suppose if i decide to stay for a while i may mail HT and get my original name back.

but for now i'll just fly around an get frustrated at my lack of skill, like when i miss a 262 from dead 6 at D300 in a 110 with full gun package

now thats lame :-D

I dont know, some of us got stuck with a name.   I registered using MajTom, but my first cpid name I used was MajWreck during my two week freebie,  when I signed up for a regular account I tried to use MajTom  (i thought I would be cool using a reference from David Bowie :rolleyes: ) but it was already taken.  So I screwed that up and picked AirScrew (a vague reference to when I used to be in the AF and worked Dental tech and handled all the pilots annual dental exams for their flight physicals, we called the pilots airscrews and wingnuts)   that was in June 2001.  When I registered for the BBS i thought I had to use the same account information I used for the game, but selected a screen name Airscrew to match my game ID.  When HTC changed the program for the BBS it changed it to MajTom.    later I noticed there was a majtom flying in the MA and I didnt want to get us confused so eventually I asked Skuzzy to fix it for me so it would match.  so AirScrew here and Airscrew in the game.

RManiac was Zoso, Lemonhed, and who knows how many others.
