I think its called squeeekers (kids) that don't read the BBs rules. They never use search, they always change the subject of a topic with something stupid like the B25 posts.
------------------------------------------------------

The B-25 would be a great bomber in the game IMO.

Oh yes I think so too..........

B-25 is not needed the P-39 is............

^^^ I agree 100%.........

r we gettin the carreir verson of the B-25 Mitchell like Ben Afflack used in the doolittle reid? I think it wuold be a awsome carreir bomber fighter plane.

^^^ Noob

Dude the B-25 did not fly off the CV.........

The Doolittle Raid was only a one raid..........
--------------------------------------------------------

Thats who it is, the noobs on these forums. :furious

survival on any BBS is pretty simple

treat others in the way that you would wish to be treated, don't take things personally, and have a bit of a self depricating sense of humor.

People that hurl around insults and get all huffy about stuff aren't worth the trouble of arguing with because you'll never change their mind.  

The plane vote and the arena split will cause some fracturing for a while then things will settle down and the next issue that causes polarization will occur.  

Funny thing is that this board is actually the least dramatic, friendliest, and least insulting ones, that I frequent.  

And I DO NOT SMELL LIKE GARBAGE HUBS!!!! :cry

There are rules stickied at the top of the forums now.

























But I can still point you to a thread of nothing but pure pointless insulting and name calling that never got the attention of the moderators.

Shades accounts are more to blame than anything else.   PNG'd people come back and recycle the same rhetoric.

How true you are Selector. By the time you scroll to bottom of your post the point or topic is not even being spoke of .There will just be a ton of tasteless jokes and a gaggle of name in lights links ar ignorant HTML's that have nothing to do with what you started the thread on. There are a few who will add intelligent texture to your convo but for the most part just be ready to have darts thrown at you :furious

100% true... some get the attention, some never will.

This BBS ought to be considered a minefield...

You can't get through it without care and caution.

Judging by all the people who lost their balls in the threads on the "arena split" and in the recent voting threads, I'd say those are the Bouncing Betty's.

Careful, there's anti-tank mines and claymores in the O'club.

Post by: Krusty on April 23, 2007, 11:36:29 AM
O'club is rowdy. One would expect certain things in there. I do not frequent it, and have never frequented it since I can remember.

I was talking about in the general forum.

The BBS has declined because the rank system IN here is porked.

You start off with a Junior MEMBER just by starting an account.

When you get a few posts IN you gain  / obtain a plain MEMBER.

After a 100 or so posts your MEMBER is now stamped as Senior.

A new rank system should be implemented.

If you post over 500 times you should be given a Prolific MEMBER.

If you post trolls over 100 times you should be given a Smelly MEMBER.

If you post over 100 times on topics that have no interest to anyone you should be given a Limp MEMBER.

If you post an “I am quitting” post you should be given a Discarded MEMBER.

If you post an “I am quitting” post and return to the game you should be given a Recycled MEMBER.

If you post over 1000 times you should be given an Abused MEMBER.

If you post topics regarding technical details on the planes and GV’s represented in the game you should be given a Historical MEMBER.

If you post using a shades account you should be given an Unidentifiable MEMBER.

If you post over 50 times with “Trivial Pursuit” questions you should be given….this is a hard one…. a Trivial MEMBER.

The potential for Rank Categories is endless.  The effect is that a lot less time will be spent on reading the post content (less than is spent now before posting replies) and more will be spent on checking on the rank of the poster.

By the way, one other category.  If you spend time looking at poster ranks you should be given a Rank MEMBER.

Actually members should have a lifetime count of say... 2,000 posts... after that, we have heard enough of your BS and you're banished.
Title: bbs has become pure poison
Post by: -SR- on April 23, 2007, 03:40:03 PM
over 2000 posts should get 1 perk point.


And yes. Civility has been on the decline. I think it will improve when the D.O.T.S. and Nomads return to the virtual skies.
