I agree with you about some bad vibes that have been going on on the forum.
That's a great shame & I try to step away from that.(I'm not whiter than white though!)
But online I always seem to have a great time, having made some good friends & having a laugh as I get shot down in flames.
I have a friend who has to win everything he attempts,darts,pool, cards, whatever & if he doesn't he sulks.(& he's sixty!)
I guess we are all different & that's what makes things interesting, I love this game, so many players have left & some nights even with the number of IL2 people I know it's difficult to find/set up a room.
I hope you get the good vibe back & start to enjoy again.
IL2 needs you!
