I might be wrong, but I think it refers to posting a ton of new and rather pointless threads on the BBS...  Especially if some of them use an annoying red font.

But I could be wrong.

Shooting planes on the runway, just after takeoff, or as they are landing.

It's when skill-less 'tards de-ack an airbase and kill planes as they take off to try to defend it.  It generally takes two to vulch -- the skill-less 'tard in the air and the dumb-azz who tries to up a plane right in front of them.

hehe, well...  It was a backwards slap, referencing a few other threads the OP stated in the Wishlist section.  Fortunately, he/she was able to go back and edit the annoying red font out of the posts.  :salute

If they live to kill al ack, as I have done in the past, and still have pleanty of ammo to finish, then by all rights vulch away, you deserve it.

i could agree with this,

its when they avoid the fight, to come streaking in at top speed to vulch someone heading to a FIGHT, or killing someone tring to land comming from a FIGHT, these are the profesianal vulchers, and i think they are some of the worst players in AH, Vanscrew comes to mind.

vanscrew rarely vulches. vans picks, but doesn't vulch. we all pick, nothing new there. unless vans has changed in 2 months, he rarely vulches as i have stated. and pointing a finger at one indivdual in particular is low. i find that lower than vulching just to get kills and be a score hore. yea, i vulch, but its not a lot, and when i do i at least let the person get a lil bit of alt so they cna have a fighting chance. :salute

I call it "Base Suppression." And generally only do it if I'm actively engaged attempting to actually take a base. As opposed to circling at modest altitude waiting for him to clear the ack before rolling in and picking him off. :D
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Well i dont think you watch what he is doing all the time, i watched him avoid the furball to vulch on more than one occasion.

 i dont vulch, period, i am here for the fight, so you will never see me vulch, and when i see someone avoid the fight to vulch, that someone is a chump in my book and i have no problem calling them out on it, and yes i have said the same thing to him.

Essentially, to get alot of vulches, you are almost in the pattern for the active.

NOT something you want to do if you are paranoid about ack or incoming high bandits.  :noid
