Still using my $15 Saitek ST-290 pro (twisty stick) I bought from Wal-Mart the year your son was born. A bit squeaky and missing a side button, but nothing some wd-40 can't fix. Always held off from upgrading because I've felt for a while to be in the twilight of my gaming life. When I finally do call it quits (or the stick finally disintegrates), I plan to send it off with a Jedi-style funeral pyre.

sorry to hear that, Packrat! You were one of the first players I met when I came to this game. You were very helpful too. Would you be willing to let me get you a new stick? I have all my kids grown and out of the house, I know how tight things can get. Its not charity, I just know it would kill me now, not to play. I have not been on as long as you so I cant imagine/ I don't want anything in return, its just something I can do, If you don't mind and let me. Call it an investment in good karma! If you do mind I understand, its just an offer.  :salute

Agreed more players like this is what the game needs.
