And correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't the same people (yourself included) be just as angry if some poor chap went and resurrected a very old thread? Im sure they would hear something like this

"OH for *&^%& sake this topic has been dead a long time quit bringing up %^$% that has already been discussed"........ or something to that effect

its almost as if you are trying to forbid anyone else who may not have had a chance to comment on old threads the chance to discuss the topics there related to because you have already said your peace...... not very sporting

anyway i still don't see anything wrong with everyone having there own opinion about things that they may even know something about.

PS the video you posted with the adjusted gamma looked great.........but...... the tracers still look too fat

Cheers

Dear Bryan,

have you ever heard of the saying "None so blind as those who will not see"?
If it has been discussed over and over again, if the community and developers have reached a conclusion, why then insisting for the sake of it, without even giving a valid reason for your conclusions? It's a matter of tone and netiquette. You can resuscitate a dead thread only if it's worth it, but if you lot actually managed to READ the old thread, you would have seen that hey, they're gonna do something about it! Uh and another thing, the idiotic teenager assumptions a la "hey it's too fat cos I've seen it in a Hollywood movie" should be enough to have you banned out of here. I have grown really intolerant after years of forum use and moderation, but seems like the mother of Trolls is always pregnant..

I hope my reply wasn't too offensive or aggressive..

no but i have hear the one that goes "none so hungry as those who will not eat" does that count?...another joke that you probably wont find funny either but i had to try

since its quite obvious that you didn't read a single post of mine carefully on this topic I wont take any offense what so ever my friend

If you were to read them, you would find that I never said i thought they were too fat because i saw it in a Hollywood movie once...... in fact i said i thought they were too fat because i have seen many a tracer from many a different kind of ammunition over my 8 years in the military and that is why I thought they looked too fat to me

Now i will concede that I wasn't present in the cockpit of any of these fighters during 1939-1945 and so cannot make a direct comparison but then neither were the developers.

any way all I have been trying to say this whole time is that there is still nothing wrong with continuing to discuss a topic even after the verdict has been read. History shows us that many an idea of both great and small importance has been changed years after the fact for just that reason. People who were passionate about it kept talking about it and some things were changed and some were not.

If you don't not think this topic is worth discussing any more well then you are entitled to think that. You are also entitled to express that I do not believe that you should be entitled to silence others because you personally are finished speaking about it. And the fact that this thread remains, possibly means that the mods agree.

as for my humor at your expense well I cant help but continue to find a direct contrast with your desire to see this thread die, and your inability to not post inside of the thread there by re distributing it to the very top of the threads list...... and there by making it more accessible to those who haven't seen it yet, allowing them to voice their own opinion. I just find this funny

But as with most forms of art humor is very subjective and it doesn't surprise me that you did not find it funny

oh and I am glad it sounds like you have calmed down a bit in your tone it will only work to lessen the stress on the old ticker
cheers

no but i have hear the one that goes none so hungry as those who will not eat...
