Default The "Ubi-Zoo"

I just wanted to clear up a few misconceptions about the Ubi forum...

I have only been registered there about 7 months or so but in my experience the vast majority of regular users there are mature, friendly & helpful devotees of Oleg's wonderful sim.

Yes, i am aware of the past history of the Ubi forum but to me that is like comparing Nazi Germany to modern-day Germany - most of the asshats have either grown-up, moved on or had the shit kicked out of them in their home towns hehe.

And yes while there are still a lot of off-topic threads there, people who have had bad experiences there in the past should let bygones be bygones and newbies here should not be prejudiced by others' opinions of the "community that ousted Oleg" blah, blah. They are, most of them, good guys!

We are, all of us (generally) mature - regardless of age - WWII, aviation and IL2 buffs so let's not let the big kids who were never cuddled enough spoil our party!

/group hug

(and RIP to all the pilots/aircrew who never came back to enjoy the petty squabbles of our cyber-world)

A Happy & Peaceful Xmas!!!

The all grew up during your 7 months? Oh isn’t that a miracle!

You wait another six years and I will ask you again, but honestly this is, in my opinion, not the place to debate other forums. You open a thread about this over there and I will keenly participate.

Ready for this Targ?

Thank you Scwarz.. I agree with you for the most part. There will always be folks who just carry their negativity with them wherever they go.. but I agree with you... with a few exceptions UBI is on of the most helpful places I have ever seen.

Schwarz.13,
Several months ago there was a fall out/differance of opinion/ clash of ego's, whatever you wish to call it between some contributors and some mods, resulting in (in my opinion) some very heavy handed actions by some of the mods.
After this a large group of people, (mainly skinners) left, there was a lot of bad feeling and animosity that is only just 'thinning' out.

But, as already said, the majority of 'Zoo' users are helpful and polite (there will always be those who think they are above or better) and it appears to be going through a resurgance of late (just wish there were some 4.09 updates)

Perhaps as we have an ex-UBI mod here on the forum...who would be good enough to tell us whether the decision to ban posts refering to the Sound Mod was made by someone from UBI or whether it was agreed amongst the forum moderators?

As apparently ubi have not been bothered with the il2 forum for some time,then I would hazard a guess that Targ took it upon himself to ban discussion.
The same with the no cd fiasco,it was freely available from ubi,yet any mention of it on the forum brought an instant ban.
