Actually, it looks like he did a pretty good job detailing exactly how your post is the sort that is not welcome.

And neither is yours David, let's be honest here.

We've got the same handful of people battling it out among themselves.

Maybe i'll make a separate forum section and change some people's posting privileges so they can only post there and have at it against each other all day long, it's not like they deviate from that for any substantial length of time. Three off-topic or trolling infractions and then it's off to the naughty kids corner, that kind of stuff :-P

I just feel that it's stupid having to behave this way to grown up people so all of you, please, throw me a bone here: everyone who is tangled into that finger-pointing discussion go back and delete your posts, everyone who is posting in an inflammatory manner go back and edit/re-word your posts to something that's stating your opinion and just that, no assumptions or bait. Thank you.

P.S. Please don't send my any PMs to point out that "it's the other guy's fault/he started it". I think we're all of a sufficient age to use the ignore list and report post functions provided by the forum. I'm not going to take anybody's side in this.

Blackdog just how many times have you had to post that?

Its time to get the dunce hat out and send them all to the naughty corner!

Have to say that given the age of some of these posters this picture might actually be more appropriate, pity they can't act there age :(

As My mom always said, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all. keep it to your self." you guys need to really check your ego's at the door.

I think they'd get a "kick-start" if they released the long-promised SDK's & got talented individuals in the game's community to contribute content & functionality for free.

I don't think so. Content is one thing, this is quite another matter....

Can you imagine the rage of those who kickstarted for say, Spanish Civil War 1936, and get Korea '52 instead? I would be angry :grin:. Better to leave the money (for the so far 'unsuccessfuls') in escrow until either enough have been convinced to participate or it is abandoned altogether. And don't let the community decide between two or three choices (I can hear the battle cry "Why is <insert SomeObscureCorner> '43 not up for choice!"), but collect for all and everything - if not enough money is gathered everybody can see the justification of not developing that theater.

Can you guys please just permaban David and his merry men?

None of them have ever contributed anything of value.

Age has nothing to do with maturity, this forum has clearly proved that over and over and over again. Please, Blackdog, can't you create a sub-forum where these people ("both sides") can duke it out on their own and measure their genitals there?

Back on topic, yes, kick-starter is a good idea for the IL-2 series. Unfortunately though, MG is not an independent studio. They'd have to break free from the evil clutches of 1c first.

That is the brutal and honest truth.
