I really wish I could take credit for this, but the real credit must go to everyone who complained about the whining, and the mods who did something about it.

yeah, it's funny how much people is complaining about you though David, you must really be blind not to see it, or again, being in complete denial (or being a troll) you just call them all whiners? :rolleyes:

Believe me, your whining about me has been tough to miss. I'm not blind. I just don't care.

I do not whine about you, I validate the reasons of my posts, unlike you. All you can write is "whine", you're obsessed with it, you probably don't even know what it means anymore, seeing the erratic use you make of it..

You don't care? So what do you care for? That people stop whining? Well your continuous whine about it is not much better, you're a whiner as much as the rest of us. The only difference is that we all could see what kind of low quality agitator you are, it's quite obvious by now that you just do it for your own fun, or probably cos you're bored.

The mods have created this ring thread because of you, not because of other people. We never had such levels until you started behaving like a troll. I think the others are right, you're just bored and don't have anything better to do. We are all contributing to other threads here in a very constructive way, you don't cos you have nothing constructive to say, you just quote things that others say and manipulate them to your likes.

We all tried being friendly, but you don't care, you'd rather stay in your tower of arrogance and self-righteousness..

I doubt this or any other posts will make any difference to you, it's obvious that you're on a mission.. again, it's a friendly community here, so it's up to you whether you want to contribute or ruin it (and trust me, your actual idea of "contribution" has been a huge fail so far).. it's your call buddy..

If the new policies halt the whining, I don't have to do anything. It's all good. It's you who has to make some changes.

lol ok so as usual im confused :) (its not hard to do :) ) what is the purpose of this thread suppose to be exactly?

I was just reading through the posts in the General IL-2 COD folder (which is really the only place i think most people view these days) (47 viewing atm) and it seems that nothing has changed as far as how people are posting. :)

There are both on and off topic posts that have smatterings of criticism and anti-criticism reply's within. and it seems to me all this particular thread does is give people another place to post more angry/often funny banter:) (in code as to not get banned :) ) before going back to reading and posting like normal in all the topics of the day :) Just my observation :)

And just to be clear I am one of the people who has no problem with any of the posts on any of the threads on this forum :) I actually find the back and forth to be at times both entertaining and informational.

And when its not ........ lol well I just keep reading until i find something that is or run out of topics :)

I guess i really just pop on to see if there was an update and then i get sucked in to some of the more funny post wars going on at the time :) and then im back to playing Mass Effect2 ..........(great game by the way :) ) i never understood what all the huh bub surrounding this game was but now i must say i agree :) very enjoyable.

Anyway back to the topic....... or is it the topic? .........what was the topic?........ any way back to why i was posting :) it seems to me so far that nothing has really changed, with the exception of the big increase in over kill banning for silly reasons ( my opinion ) :) and the addition of a sticky for more angry/sometimes funny banter :)

Correct me if I am missing something here please :)

PS that boat tipping over vid as a visual representation of the CLOD launch gave me a good chuckle lol thanks for that :)

OH i also liked the Love letter to Luthier that also made me laugh. :) "just got out of 1C jail" lol :) Thanks for this one as well :)



cheers all :)

PPS The over kill of happy faces is an attempt to not get banned for a jovial or jokingly said statement being taken in negative way. :) hope it works :)

It's for posts like yours. :-D

Wrong Wayward....it's yer new spot fer dragging yer hiney on the carpet....the old spot? Had a hole in it....;)

The funny thing imo is, that pudfark, and Sternjaeger II don't seem to realize that their posts were exiled too.

Still they believe that they are contributing to the community, oh wait, they actually do, it's just not the way they assume it is, the do entertain the majority, except the about 10 similar minded.

The pathetic biased polls, the denigrating of steadfast counter-posters as trolls, just hilarious. :-)

The facts speak for themselves: the general forum is whine and counter-whine free! ;P

And for amusement we can come here, to a new episode of the whiner-war :D :D :D

Robtek, funnily enough the only reason why that happened is that because we got carried away with you and mr David Hayward, which are both very good at trolling.

Before blurting out sentences on whether my contributions are valid or not, have a browse and see what kind of threads I post into as well, and I won't even go (again) into mentioning all the contribution that I have given to devs for both IL-2 and CoD. Uh and while you're on it, check out your friend David and what sort of inflamatory posts he writes everywhere, even when it's really uncalled for, cos he named himself the forum cop, acting by his own distorted double standards.

As for the pathetic biased poll, it had (before it was locked thanks to your buddy David, and mind you I didn't even say a word there, he just started attacking other members) more than 200 people that thought otherwise, so YOU are the minority, not "us 10". Get a grip buddy.

And no, the forum is still not free, cos David keeps on trolling and insulting people.
