Yeah does seem a bit strange doesn't it.

Likely means the site is selling advertising..... through posts.

Does seem that way... :noid

HiTech is a one-man show now.
He don't have the time to babysit the forums, nor update this game.

That reads like an opinion, waiting for a fact to back that up.

Fact: Updates don't happen anymore Fact: numbers are at an all time low. FACT: The game will be gone if not bought by someone who has the interest to put resources into it...Soon

I have fun when I play too, but I can admit that all of Peanut1's Facts are true and the game IS dying a long slow death.

Soon, I feel like that I’ve been hearing soon for years.

It surprises me how it continues to last. Its probably like 80-90 % hard core fans of the game that keep it going with the other 10-20 % in flux moving in and out all the time. As hard core fans only leave when we die, it still will take some time.

LoL. I wonder just how many dead guys have HTC on auto-pay forever and their widows just don't notice the charge.

Not in Aces High.
The drain has slowed down compared to a few years ago, but there are still fewer pilots per tour than ever before.

I enjoy the hell out of it to. But no, there was not less players at any point after the first 6 months of AH than there are right now.

i remember a couple of years ago that it would be around 100 tops. yesterday we have 150 or so. now I dont know about pilots per tour but when I log in, most nights I see above 100.

Your memory is playing you tricks. "A couple of years ago" AH had more players by any metric, be it pilots per tour, total hours played by tour or population online at comparable times.

When I had last come back around early 2019, the Melee was running around 185 players most weeknights.
The loss rate curve is definitely shallowing. All those who would be sensitive to lack of new development or the lure of the competition have already left. The remaining players are mainly here for the social connections. As long as their friends keep showing up to chat on chan200, they will too. They might complain about no new planes or features, but obviously that is not sufficient cause for them to close their accounts.
The main threat to AH would be HT's health. He is no spring chicken either. And the (probably narrow) age range of the remaining players means that when they start hitting their expiration date, many will be hitting it at the same time. There is no new blood to smooth out the demographic trend. Probably there are very few "new" players at all. Just an occasional previous player coming back again for a while. But they are probably in the same age cohort as the rest and will hit their expiration date at the same time.

I have recently thought of HiTech's health and know he is several years older than me... but having talked with Dale multiple times over the last 2 years..I find that he seems to be doing better than some of us and knowing that Aces High is his Labor of love..I see him keeping with AH as long as he can...or can afford to stay in the black and out of the red, financially....
Just my thoughts on the subject. (CptTrips post pretty much says it all though)
