Truth has nothing to do with it. A personal attack is what it is, whether "your" truth is absolute or relative.

Which you will find most members will agree with just ask Tree. And I was just replying to his personal attack and insult from several posts aboe this. Perhaps you should give mister negative a vaction as all he does is flame and insult people. And for your knowlegde here is the definition of "insult" because it seems some moderators here dont know an insult if it hit them in the face!
insult
vb [ɪnˈsʌlt] (tr)
1. to treat, mention, or speak to rudely; offend; affront
2. Obsolete to assault; attack
n [ˈɪnsʌlt]
1. an offensive or contemptuous remark or action; affront; slight
2. a person or thing producing the effect of an affront some television is an insult to intelligence
3. (Medicine) Med an injury or trauma
add insult to injury to make an unfair or unacceptable situation even worse

Quote:
This is a Zap quote which could be used in the definition of insult
"yes it is to much to ask, and if you are born in 1961 you should have enough brainpower and deductive ability to figure out why. presumably if born in 61 you have come accross gaming pc's a few times in the past, and might have watched the production process of some of the better games and know a bit about the process it goes through ? if not, maybe change your nick to newbie61 and we'll start communicating to you on the level of a fuzzie grandpa who has just discovered pc's and is still using the cd tray like a cup holder. "
Yes, I'd say that is very condescending paragraph, which borders on a personal attack.

Quote:
You said, "Perhaps we need some moderators with more than a high school education."


Your posting is a long-winded circular explanation of what? Then you end it all with another insult. You really don't get it.

Moderators aren't into winning arguments here. We are trying to keep a peaceable forums where people can exchange ideas and have civil discussions.

If you are as smart as you think you are maybe you should be thinking about using your intelligence to avoid "verbal conflict with others". It can be done, if you apply yourself to it.

I've read many of your postings and notice you do appear to have a penchant for taking contrary views on topics. That kind of rhetoric does generate hostility and often opposition.

Read the forum rules - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=1874 You will find that challenges to moderation are prohibited, along with a few other issues you might want to think about.

Ubisoft - OMG (not Oleg Maddox Games)
IL-2 name - bullsh't to market a new game with completely new engine under a old name which does not even fit at all to the scenario.
Cover - Looks like ice age. I thought it was hot in britain?!
Internet connection to activate - if more, you can keep it

Just too proud of their IL-2 plane, these russians

I wouldn't say that. IL-2 has been the front runner, benchmark air combat flight simulator for appx. 10 years. It is a good brand, and very well recognized as the leader among all air combat enthusiats. It would not make sense to walk away from that kind of reputation and longevity.

It isn't about Russian prides, it's about selling the software.

Look at all the postings on any forums where air combat is discussed.
The IL2 has the largest number of postings continuously. Go to Simhq, leading forums, and you will find that IL2 and SOW have the largest number of posters and viewers constantly.

If you buy any Microsoft software now you have to activate it. I think you can do it by email, phone or internet connection. Most people just use the internet connection, because it is faster and they share the same information regardless of activation method.

I don't have a problem with internet activation. I would have a problem, if I have to be on the internet all the time I use it. Spyware and other malware inclusion would be a stop for me as well. The PE-2 addon had the piracy protection and the addon bombed. I don't think that kind of invasion of our systems will be included with any of Oleg's applications.

We should all favor some kind of piracy protection.

Online DRM has destroyed SilentHunter series... 90% of real fans where outraged and abandoned series, disgusted... I've seen it all.

Now... it is turn to Il-2 series - to end up in recycle bin of simulation history.

Very, very sad... after years of waiting - we end up with online DRM and Ubisoft ?!?

As I read it, the majority of people gave up on Silent Hunter V because it wasn't anywhere near as good as its predecessors game-wise, not because of DRM. We know that's not going to be the same with this sim.

Given that many of us are prepared to fork over our money in the general direction of Oleg & Co I for one will be glad to see some form of DRM involved - I want to see this production become successful and be profitable, not available free to anyone without a conscience. And if you think that everyone would pay up 'cos we're all sim fans' then you're out of your mind.
