He did, and Skuzzy rather politely directed him to limit such posts to the OT.  I hope this is not what you are referring to when you mention "squeaking". Anyway, HC knew it was over the top when he did it.

His second post in the Aces High general forums was there because Hardcase is small minded enough to be goaded into posting in the general forums by a few trouble makers at AGW. Once was enough in OT but to spam a second time is just rediculous. Those trouble makers now are passing comments about how much more tolerant they are and mention censorship failing to see how AGW supposedley being independant is different from the company owned and run forums of Hitech Creations and iEN (which I might add he did not post to the iEN forums) To post to HTC's or iEN's forums is like crossing the street and posting adverts for your shop in your competitors shop window, it's not just bad taste it's way way out of order. IMO HTC have been tolerant enough to leave your spam in their OT forums. If I were HTC or iEN I would not allow such blatant advertising. You really are a pathetic specimen Hardcase and a reminder of why I rarely posted or read the WW2OL forums in all the time I held an account there.

I remember when people posted about WB/DoA free play events.
Nobody was saying anything about that kind of advertising.

..and I actually minded it nice when someone was telling about those.

Once or twice OT is not a problem but two pieces of the same spam in two forums is too much especially considering the closed door approach by CRS to their company forums.

And if you're happy with the game then why not just play and stop spamming forums not relating to that game.

The only forums I posted to are the OT and the general. The General post was moved to OT...."every forum"..kinda not true.

CRS does not run the forums there, they were handed off to HQ.

Don't be so hard on Hardcase, guys!  He's obviously just a useful idiot being directed by the rapidly diminishing forces of the dark side.

Hardcase> this is not the first time you've spammed here or AGW, this is OT but it's OT for another sim so expect negative replies especially when you have spammed before. Those forums ow run by HQ were run by CRS and now run by HQ as you pointed out but they are still the official forums and still closed to non subscription holders. You got a rough ride here and AGW and called a spammer both places so the cap fits so kindly wear it.

Agreed, but point to the last 500+ post thread relating to these games. ;)

I think Skuzzy was polite about it. He could have just deleted the thread without any comment at all. I think he reminded HC rather mildly. And... HC should know better anyway.

  Oh man, thats priceless...and so true.

 I hear about WB promos occasionally on this board and it doesnt fiz me at all, even though I would rather slide down a razor banistter into a vat of turpentine than be caught dead on an IEN server. Yet I have no opinion of WW2 online at all, "never played it" and all the WW2online posts here are getting old and on my nerves.

 So dont go away mad...just go away.

Yes, it seems that Hardcase has company in the position of WW2OLs little squeak.  Someone else must have been "fishing" around for that position.

I sure am glad HC is not alone.

Hardcase, can we all log on free to the CRS boards for your game and post?  I might like to make sure that any poor newbie to sims etc know about AH.  Fishu feels its important that everyone know there are choices are out there, and to be fair to ALL the new players, we must make sure those in WW2OL know about AH (specially since it is a superior flight sim).

Oh yes, HC, dont forget to post that info on that BBS also letting all those players over there know that HTC offers 2 free weeks, and a free HTH version ALL THE TIME.  You offered to spread the word about the free stuff, now step up and be good to your word.

AND QUIT SPAMMING YOUR COMPETITORS BOARD.
