I asked this before. I wonder when the "Big Man" is going to make his debut here?

Since the people here are the same as on Ubi, soon the existence of this forum will answer Bearcat's poll (the one about Zoo)
If this becomes another Zoo, Ubi is still a Zoo as well. If this wont...well...that still doesnt prove anything

The only reason why this may not turn into a zoo is:

-people suddenly becoming nice
-forum yellow color
-different set of rules here (modding)

Yup- that's the way I see it: a new Mod equation. What ever works will work.

You wanna see my opinions over why I think this place is our future go see BC's poll about the ZOO.

G'nite.

A quick quote from the 'other forum', hopefully someone will take these thoughts to heart:

Not really!

'C'mon guys, lets approach this new forum with a more favorable attitude, and not mess it up for everyone? Show them that we're actually a decent bunch, worthy of putting the extra hours of work in for, maybe even more patches beyond 4.09, who knows...? '

Brown noser.

A fresh start and maybe a chance to rekindle some of the old flame that made the 'other forum' so popular to start with - whadaya guys say?
Enough of the this/that is porked/two weeks/bla blah old jokes might still have some humor on that forum, but is it really necessary here?

To achieve this,you`d need to lifeban all the regulars.There is no reason why we shouldn`t have some good humor.Those jokes and flames are integral part of this IL2 community.People have enough of their bosses at work already.

It's not every day you get a new chance to make a new impression, and thats what we have here.

Be all you can be son!

How about showing 1C that we are decent, flightsim loving folks, and that we're actually pretty bright, for the most part.

No problem!This community is quality of itself.I don`t think we need to impress anyone.We can make a separate Nancy Boy forum for this stuff.

It's a two-way street, folks. If 1C is impressed with the type of people they're working so hard for, then they might be prepared to go that little bit further for us!

Yes, the whole IL2 game/addon history is dictated by how nice the community was.Money never had anything to do with it.The new sim is entirely made for free for the nice folks.No SOW for you Megile!

So, a request to all the new/old/noobs/aces on this forum - lets keep old issues from old forums out of this new one, and make it ours!

Right on!We all should get a hug toghether!We`ll all get SOW for free!!!

[DKoor]

carguy while I agree with your views, regarding poor suckarse attitude especially, I disagree with the way you did it.

We should not allow this nice place to turn into miserly UBi clone.

I'm just sick of that..........

Lifeban all the regulars? No not really.... as soon as first ban kick in and strict rules are applied they'll all piss their pants.

Be sure.

For this place to have the "right of life" it needs to be different from good, old UBIzoo. If it develops into a similar place only with more garish coulurs, it won't attract any members, and will slowly die. Perhaps a more stern moderation will be good, perhaps not, only time will tell.

ok, so carguy, you don't think much of my approach - fair enough.
I think I get your point.
I'm still going to take that approach, though, as I think it's the more mature one, and one I'm happy with.
Anything else you don't agree with?
Come on, get it off your chest, mate, you'll feel better afterwards...
I honestly don't expect everyone to share my outlook - this is an international forum, after all.
I admit it's probably wishful thinking on my behalf, but hey! I've gotta stand up for what I think is the right thing.
But I'm not about to start slagging people off just 'cause I don't agree with them, I have enough to deal with in RL than to start getting into little tiffs with someone on the net. My approach is one of stating my feelings, and those that agree - good! Those that don't agree - also good!
As long as we don't start attacking each other with petty insults along the way. It's just not necessary.
Any further thoughts? - something a bit more constructive than tearing apart and analysing every little thing someone else says, maybe?

PS: As for the humor bit, if you have the time to check out some of my other posts, you will find that I'm all for some fun and games, and am not as 'serious' as you might think. It's just that some jokes here were stale about a year ago.
Try not to come at me with your 20mills, mate - rather discuss nicely, and if you're ever in my part of the world, feel free to stop by at my pub for a drink. First round's on me!
The same invite applies to anyone else on these forums who's interested - we are a community, after all, albeit virtually!

If you really feel like it meaning that it`s the way you are then nothing wrong with that.Although trying to convince others to do the same is a bit on the pushy side.As I said previously, people are guided by others in the real life.Some have much of this outside and don`t like to be told what to do just by anyone.

I drink some alkohol normally for those purposes.No need to put people down.

You are a very honest person.People know that now.

Everything perfect....but.......what are you writing bout it here?

I find it fun and relaxing.And girls like it!
