I have to agree that those like youself Thor benefited from the non split up online community, and would have liked to keep it that way, but that is just not the puplic opinion apparently, that's why we end up here with the divided community, so locking a game up would certainly not be good for the majority of the online players.

That is because the majority of people who once played are now just waiting for SoW, playing something else... Playing IL2 with all the latest mods is like having a part time job now.
It has nothing to do with public opinion - if there is no control then there is anarchy. Anarchy might not be the best word to describe it but it comes close. With stock we had a control over what was available to every player out there and thus equal playing field.
I never said that the locking of the game is a good idea. I do agree on the part that offline players feed online player numbers.
