You're a RoFite now, Bearcat. If you are wondering why this might be an issue, the situation is something along these lines -

let's say 777 has a milkshake, and 1c has a milkshake, and 777 has a straw, that reaches alllllll the way across the room...



and they drink 1c's milkshake. Slllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllurp. They drink it up!



They lost. They are losers who lost. They got paddled, and their butts are butthurt like you would not believe. It is impossible to imagine a more complete capitulation unless 777 had literally dropped by personally to announce that they've shacked up with these guys moms as their new stepdad. For all the brave talk, all the forum drama, all the pitched internet battles, it has ended thus - the whole team they had had faith in now works with the enemy, or has left the scene entirely.

Now, it doesn't have to be this way. At the management and staff level - Jason, Loft and the rest are beyond gracious, and refuse to hear a harsh word spoken about Luthier or the 1c team, and get along as professionals just fine. As it should be. But for the vanguard of CloD fans - this is just too much, too soon. They're the last japanese soldiers dug in on the island, mentally unable to process the thought of surrender to the enemy. Think of you dropping by this forum as you helicoptering in with the emperor's surrender on loudspeaker. They just can't hear it. They can't allow themselves to hear it. It has all been... for nothing? This whole time?

What's worse - you, a RoFite, are now the moderator of the new Il-2 boards!



No... no... no! Devilman ... 666 .... no ... steamy jungle of love.

I tell you, you mix their sweet, hilariously overblown anxiety over a simple piece of games software, combined with a salty, subtle undertone of racism, and you have a delicious recipe for internet drama. I hope you beat them hard over on the new Il-2 forum, Bearcat. They may frolic over here as much as they like, in the dream world of bananaland. But let's leave the real Il-2 forums for people who can deal with the reality of the situation, yeah?
