Title: What happened to Citabria?
Post by: Turbot on June 16, 2002, 12:22:25 PM
I have seen a few references to a Citabria (Fester) banning, but nothing about why.  Anyone know, or is it a joke?

True. He earned it though. I'd leave it at that.

Pyro banned him from the BBS for a week because of a post, and he created a new BBS ID and posted again.  Apparently he is banned from the BBS for a month now.

If Pyro tells you to take a week off, then you create a new idea and post again, then Pyro gives you a month and tells you to stay away, including creating new IDs and posting again, and you once again create a new ID and post again, I'd say you earned it.

I'm quite amazed this happened anyway, from what I've read he didn't post anything severe just a typical whine.

Dunno, maybe the worst got removed :)

HTC, I believe, is tightening the ropes alittle.  IMHO these people do a great job to provide for our entertainment.  This is going to be an incredible drop (ver 1.0).  Yet certain individuals continue to whine, squeak, and complain.  I guess it has gotten tiring on HTC.

Superfly has done an incredible job on the P-40.  Alot of time and effort, certainly after people ask why we did not get the AVG P-40.  BOOM!  SF does a shark mouth and people still complain!  Pyro is getting tired of it and I dont blame him, I would also.  

Regardless of how strong a person SF is, the squeaking after all of his hard work has to be disappointing.

There are personalities in this community that are just ungrateful bastards.  It is not their fault, it is just the way they are.  Fact of life.

But I'm a grateful bastard, so I appriciate all the hardwork the HTC group does.  I am not a cheerleader, I just realize when a job is well done.

Have a Nice Day

Some people need to learn the difference between:

"WHY THE F#CK DIDN'T WE GET A P-38J!?!"

and

"A P-38J would be an excellent addition."

Maybe now a few people might get the hint.

Fester is not a cheater or hacked. Really he is a very sensitive big harted guy. A student of the game and not afraid to push the limits. I took this picture of him training...  he just needs to be understood!

It is their board..  they can do whatever they want and they don't need to explain it to anyone.    Course if I were setting the standards...

I would ban stupid, dishonest, preachy, and insipid first and then.... anyone caught possesing a pair of kneepads.   Oh, humorless would be a minor sin.

Heh, it wasn't too long ago that he said his "New" approach to being an Ace in Aces High was to "be more like Drex"....well, guess that didn't apply to the BBS. :)

"Goofus & Gallent" takes me way back, too.

By the way, wouldn't "GOOFUS" make a great callsign?

Of course if youre infantile enough to get banned why on earth would you expect any sympathy?  

I'm quite surprised HTC takes as much crap as they do.  Given they take the time to make the sim, THEN they take the time to monitor these discussion groups, only to get a constant stream of complaints for their effors.  People who wine at me that much tend to find their switch port throttled to 240Bps.

If you don't like the game, shut up and pay elsewhere, eh?

They must have been pretty comprehensive in their removal of Citabria from this board.  My handle is "Fester" and has been since the beta.  I got the axe too.

Post by: AKSWulfe on June 17, 2002, 01:31:12 PM
Everyone knows Fester is Citabria... if you posted from the same IP, that's why they deleted both accounts.

I'd give HTC a call on this.  If you are not Citabria, explain that to them... I'm sure they'll understand.  If it is simply a "completely different persona" thing... then I'd be interested in just how loud they laughed.

I doubt we have the same IP, My handle in here is Fester, I fly the game under "FesCAF"  Im thinking that they werent taking any chances and dumped my account too.  Didnt receive an email or anything.

I did email HTC with the situation.  Im sure it will be rectified shortly.

This casts a shadow on all of us Festers, our name has been forever tainted... kinda cool aint it? :)

Post by: AKDejaVu on June 17, 2002, 02:06:59 PM
If you are not the same person... might I suggest getting a "FesCAS" handle for the BBS until your other one is restored.  The one you are currently using is not doing much to disassociate you with the individual that got your "fester" id banned in the first place.

Because I was Fester first ;)

It's a long story, I flew as Fester for a few years off and on since the beta.  Then changed my handle to "Rarey" as that's my family name and there is some WWII history associated with it. (P-47's)

But once a fester always a fester and I went to change back and low and behold Citabria had snagged it.  I was going to change my handle to Citabria to really confuse the issue, but decided on FesCAF instead (CAF is for Cactus Air Force)

Fescaf are you related to George Rarey?
Title: What happened to Citabria?
Post by: AKDejaVu on June 17, 2002, 02:51:08 PM
I'll say it again very slowly.

UNTIL YOU GET YOUR OTHER HANDLE BACK, it would be better to use FesCAS as opposed to your current handle of choice.

If you keep the "I've been banned" handle, its not just Cit that's giving festers a bad name.

Joe,
I think we may be distantly related!
My uncle (Paul Krasnowski) sent me a copy of the book of your father's cartoon artwork.  (Am I on track here?)  It was a few years ago, and I am forgetting the details, but somehow I think Paul is related to you and your father...?  Most of my possesions are in storage... I know that he wrote an inscription on the inside cover... I just can't remember the details.  

Feel free to Email me if I'm on track... otherwise sorry if I'm raving like a lunatic and don't know what I'm talking about.

I THOUGHT YOU LOOKED FAMILIAR!!! :)

not my dad, distant uncle.  Yes I have the book as well, very very cool.

All Rarey's with that spelling are related.  The original "Rarey" was Charles, he had 6 sons, George (Dad Rarey of P-47 fame) came from one, My line came from another, and John Soloman Rarey (the original Horse whisperer for anyone into horses) came from a 3rd. The name is americanized from Rhoerig (German).

Anyway, yes it's an amazing story actually, they profiled it on WWII letters home on the history channel.  Rarey is a very... well... Rare name, to hear it on TV was kinda cool.
