Then head over to www.flightinfo.com, you'll be happier there. You don't belong here if you want juvenile food fights, cheap shots, and drive-by character assassinations. Thanks for enforcing professional dialog here, APC

It's happened...not the credit thing or a chuck Norris a$$ whooping but I got reprimanded. I told someone their opinion was poo and should be dumped in the round file. I felt justified in doing so because they were purposefully flame baiting and I called them on it. That is the point of the streaming forum I thought, to express ones opinion and to counter others. I still don't see why we need moderators.

You may be right, maybe we do need the moderators just to create something different that FI. I go to both sites and there was a time I only visited this site because of juvenile actions. Ultimately, I went back and currently visit both sites. If you go by raw numbers FI gets a whole lot more visitors. Also, this site is not always high brow so there can be both in both places. To each their own.

I visit both because I want to keep up on current affairs and one site may have something the other does not. Again, to each their own.

"I understand that there are people who curse or flame but that is part of the charm of these sites."

We are trying to keep APC professional in nature. The people that started this forum don't find cursing or flaming charming or appropriate. It's simply won't be tolerated, though mods can't catch it all.

HSLD has offered to speak with you. I'd suggest you PM him if you have any questions.

Good. Speaking for myself, I'd rather see quality over quantity. I've been to FI and that's why I'm happy the folks that started this place want to seperate it from how FI is. Trust me, the admins aren't looking to set attendance records at any cost. Why do you think they don't feel the need to accept advertising dollars?

Shoot, if advertising dollars are to be had...grab them.

You could start some sort of furloughed pilot scholarship or assistance fund with the proceeds.

Actually, we have overtaken FI.com in traffic so far this year. See for yourself at www.alexa.com.

I want to be the "APC Ninja-Chuck Norris Moderator". When someone gets really out of hand, I want the founders and other mods to call me in to get medieval with the poster.

I second that! I fully expect to get the big F this fall and have been saving for that rainy day. I even sold my motorcycle to prepare. So sad.

I hear you guys and I'm sold. I was against the moderator thing two days ago, flip floppy yesterday and fully switched today. Hurray!
