I would like to see an AH player database where all players could submit personal information.
* Ideally the database would list all players (who wish to participate) by game ID, in alphanumeric order.
* In the table display, viewers could also click on other column headings (such as BB ID), which would also re-list in alphanumeric order.
* Other column headings in the table/database could be: Player ID, BB ID, Home Country, Home State/Province, Year/Month began AH, Age, Occupation, etc.
* Player ID would be a hyperlink to a minimal web page where players could post an autobiography, one picture, hyperlinks to homepages, email, etc.
* Players concerned with privacy could omit/submit as much information as they wish.
* Perhaps, a player Q & A forum could be created for viewers to respond to players’ info, such as: (Subject) FlyGuy: (Message) Hey, I’m a paleontologist too! What species in particular is your focus? (Bla-bla-bla, etc.)
* HTC, please note that the biggest BB thread ever {Who are you? (pics)}, and one of the biggest (Who are you?), partially addressed this need/interest. Even so, these threads were clumsy and difficult to search through. I think that such a database would help promote Internet etiquette, both in the game and the BB, by humanizing players. You’re less likely to flame a guy if you’ve seen a picture of him with his family, or if you know that he’s fighting cancer, or know that he’s only 13, etc.
Does anyone out there know of such a data base template to recommend to HTC? If so, please do.

fffreeze220,
That's the idea.
However, you can only search by CPID, Side, and Squad.
It also could use autobiography links and pictures...

Isn´t that enough that US already wants totally useless information about persons who are flying to there as passengers and now they want samples of saliva or something ... now you.. THIS is a conspiracy!!!
/sarcasm off
Ok bad joke , idea is good, but remember that all the info you give freely away might be usable for someone .. and I mean it can be used to harm you.
I count junk mail as harming ..pisses me off to try finding real messages from "I´m from Kongo and I give you 50 million...." yeah right.
Think about targeted marketing when they get your hobbys and sisters name...

Nope, its just me when tired bored and nasty. Nightshift at some backwater airfield control tower and no traffic...
hehe
Yup would be nice to read all info about people around here.. I would like to read BGBMAW´s profile first.
but I always consider those things also which I stated before. Just my point of view.
-
great idea.......
allow players to submit ONLY the info they want viewed by the community. make it a requirement after 1 month of subscribing.
oh well my 2˘
-
Spreading my name over the net, isnt the best thing IMO. Other info like what sims you flew, fav plane, etc would be fine.

Having trouble finding a date again Eskimo?
-
that got a milk snort from me vulcan :)
-
I dont see the point unless you intend to go drinking together in a pub! lol
why dont you just ask the, one or two people youre likely to be interested in finding out more about, by simply posting a request?
I think HTC just stopped the posting of pictures because their servers are filling up with clutter.Why add more to it with pictures of players damn dogs etc! :)
if you really want to know what they look like tell em to post a pic.
lets face it youre only likely to want to know something more about what .5% of the people in here?

Include "Liberal?" and "Conservative?" checkboxes, since there seems to be a lot of interest in this bit of information as evidenced by a lot of the channel 1 chatter I've seen recently.

By clicking on the "profile" on a players post shows you most of what you asked for. If a player wishs to disclose this information, it is there.
HTC probably noticed the size of the "who are you" thread.:D Images are no longer hosted by BBS.
