Title: Bye Bye everyone !
Post by: Ouaibe on May 08, 2003, 04:09:42 PM
After playing AH for nearly 3 years, being part of 2 great squadrons (past : JG2 - Knigth / now : 99ASTAG - Bish), i decide to cancell my account. Only CAP was giving me fun...

The community has change, sometimes for the best, most of the time for the worst, apply the same for the game. The continuous french bashing finally pissed me off enough to look elsewhere (in forums AND in the game).

I'll still look at AH2 with interest and remember great fight / sortie with a lot of you.

Thanks for HT for 3 years of great fun and for a great game / support. Thanks for the community for giving me great time and lots of knowledge on WW2. Time to move on.

everyone !

I'm sorry, but stop your whining. Where's all this French bashing? Is it in the O'Club? Don't read it. Is it on channel 1? Squelch it.  You just need to get a sense of humor or stop reading. Sheesh, lighten up or quit.

One thing I have found in rl is that few are every really missed and no one is indispensible. Never understand why people feel they need to annouce they are leaving with a post bashing the community - just go away!

Oops, am I whining?  :p

I agree with you.  Though I myself am not french, but american, I think people need to lighten up a bit.  Ah was designed for people from all over the world to have a good time, not as a way to insult people.

Let me assist you on this one. If you are going to insult someone's intelligence, use spell check.

"Thorn just showed the intelligence and age of the community".

Straffo, ask your wife for a correct translation into french:

"No insulta quien quiere, sino quien puede"

I don't see why anyone should have to put up with others being deliberately insulting or in-yer-face unpleasantly"-ist", IYSWIM.  Certainly, there's a lot of grey area between friendly jibing and intended hurts, but frankly, I feel that those who think the answer is to tell those on the receiving end of the bad stuff that it is THEY who have to change their behaviour are missing the point.  And being bloody foolish, to boot,

Aye, human nature. Been there, seen lots of it, got the T-shirt. So it's time for the bad'uns to be told in no uncertain terms to STFU and bugger off, so that those who aren't socially delinquent don't have to put up with their continual idiocies.  

What you're advocating, Poopster and others, is to cut the cancer out of the patient, and throw the patient away, keeping the cancer.   That cannot be the ultimate answer.  Given everyone is here to try to have fun, why should it be the ones that are DELIBERATELY trying to upset others that are left alone, whilst their victims are basically told to grin and bear it or go? Would youcondone virus creators and spammers, and tell the rest of us to just stop using the internet? Of course you wouldn't, unless you're an idiot or a Luddite.  Same principle here.

 Aye, I know the difficulties with "policing" any online community, but perhaps it's about time someone somewhere started thinking about better ways to create online communities such that miscreants CAN be more effectively ejected.

Glad to see nothing has changed 'round here.  Glad am in ww2ol where only subscribers can use the boards and where they make it so figgin difficult that it isn't worth the effort to figure out where the hell to post a good insulting flame.

I want to thank the community for the current changes. I'm a telecommuter, and the O'Club used to be a major time killer when I was looking to procrastinate. No longer a problem. In fact, it takes some effort to motivate myself to hit the link.

The last 6 months have also made squelch 1 a permanent feature in my gameplay.

It's funny how "attitude" has become so acceptable and manners some form of "political correctness." I guess my mother just raised me different.
