<SNIP> Nowadays, its almost stable for two years at slightly over 1000 scoring pilots.

I was wondering about that number.  Your posts also leave me with a strange desire to eat pie.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

you don't play at 12pm, nobody has fun at 12pm.

haven't been able to find a stick yet.  flying is let's say challenging, but it makes me laugh.  actually having more fun.  I have to fly at full throttle, if I don't, I lose all control of the plane.  interesting trying to land.  dog fight forget it.  trigger, rudder, and flaps are all controlled by my left thumb, I  need thumb and index for rudder.

you dont want me to ho, dont point your plane at me.

Set it to MNM levels and see how it changes

This is easy; people are different, your fun isn't their fun and their fun isn't your fun.

You guys realize Hitech is never going to improve the game. Even if he wanted to, he can't compete with Warthunder, DCS, and IL2. He's just parked the server in his closet and will collect $15/month from all of you until it's not worth it, and he'll pull the plug. I hope he leaves the bbs up so you all can frantically post to try and figure out what happened - that will be fun to see!

But all the energy you spend making suggestions, or hoping for improvements - it's all wasted. HiTech can't be bothered to reset scoring every month. When Eagler posted that the web site is outdated and confusing to new player, Hitech was offended at his attitude. All he got from that post was that Eagler did not ask nicely. And the site will stay as is, just like the AH steam page, which is as dead a doornail. Even Subby can't be bothered anymore to monitor this dying bbs!

The party as long since ended and you guys are the guests that can't take the hint. The worst part is, you'll all still paying $15 a month to talk to each other about the good old days!

Nope I pay $15 a month as it is the best $$$ to enjoyment ratio I can get these days..

Broken down to the hour its about 50 cent an hour if I get minimal time in

I have been paying since it was $29.95 back in the early days even while I didn't play for quite a bit

AH still beats dcs, il2 and wt for a2a ww2 action, flight model, spotting and overall enjoyment IMO

You’re right - it’s your money to spend as you see fit.

This venom prompted me to go back to the original post - by the same author:

People keep asking me who I am or think I am a newbie because I have  new BBS account. But I have flown AH for years - mainly knights. All that time never bothered to post or look at BBS. But now that numbers are dropping, I wanted to see what was going on. And I see a lot of whining about leaving, wanting Hitech to change the game, political correctness on CH200, blah blah blah. I say don't waist Hitech's time. It's the same game we've always played. Good enough then, good enough now. Worth the $15 a month of the fun. No need to change it now! So either fly or quit, and stop yer whining! That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

A remarkable contrast.
