3) no moderation (allow a community to be a community)

Slap, thanks... but I'm a sinner too. I can recall calling two folks idiots and it happened in the last 8 weeks or so. I hate "ad hominen" and yet I'm guilty. I should have just quietly put them on ignore but the ego triumphed (once again) and I'm as guilty as the next guy.

Always something to work on.

Toad, at least one of this two folks isn't offended at all. I pity people who take this issues seriously.

My invitation to drink something if you'll be somewhere around European Russia or Ukraine is valid at least until i'll get my cirrhosis

LOL! If you make it to the US again, look me up... we'll barbecue some brisket and ribs!

C'mon guys, let's keep this on topic.

The idea that only paying members in the OC would keep it civil is just stupid. How civil is ch200? Those are all paying customers.

I think HTC should open a sissy'Club for such people.

The guys who want to limit access to the board do not seem to understand the value of a BBS to the game.

The more people on the BBS the more interesting a place it is. The more interesting a place it is the more new people check it out.

There are many dead discussion groups on the internet. Just go to newsgroups and type in the names of many games and flight sims from the past. Most of the NG are dead, as are most of the games and flight sims.

Once a game and its BBS stops attracting new people around the community is in decline. And once in decline it begins to die.

A vibrant online communtiy that has interesting discussions is a big part of any online game.

You need an off topic forum or the other forums get wrecked with discussions that have nothing to do with the forum's topic.

For once I agree fully with Habu.

Agree with Habu.

I also agree with Habu.

Disagree with Habu.

If you think that the suspension or removal of the OC will start the demise of AH and HTC ... I have got a bridge for sale in NYC for ya ... real cheap.

For some reason, you guys think that the whole of HTC and AH revolved around the existence of the OC and that it generated interest and income ... hardly.

I guess those that see it that way, really never looked or participated in the other forums that are available on this BBS. They are just as active as the OC ever was ... sans the massive eye poking and prodding.

Havent played the game in years but the O'club was my homepage. I kept up to date on the game and every now and then think of coming back. No reason for me to come to the site now and stay up to date on the game.

Sorry but wasn't the O'Club by definition an off topic board? If you truly wanted to keep up with the game itself wouldn't the other boards really be the place for that?
