Count me in on this one ...Originally posted by Kasdeya:
How about this:
1. Pacific Theater
2. European Theater
3. General Discussion (for the OT stuff)
Basically what Buzz said but add the ETO.
<span class="ev_code_PINK">( as long as we all stick to the topic under the section, no mixing like we have now ...)</span>
I'm not going to read six pages.......so I'll be quick.
2 rooms:
PF/ILE (eastern/pacific),
and OFF TOPIC.
The only problem with an off topic type room is the discussions can possibly get out of control.
We did have a "sort of" pilots lounge a few years ago if I remember right, but it was shut down because of all the political arguments that occurred.
These may have been because of the 9/11 attack and the war. With everyone being hyper sensative during that period the pilots lounge was shut down. It got very nasty....
I liked going in to read/discuss just about anything. With time passing and hopefully calmer heads prevailing I think a pilots lounge would be great.
PF is missing one whole war-changing theater. I think it is not complete until PF has at least the Rabul (Solomon's) Campaign (which started with the Russell's Island's invasion and included the Black Sheep and the Jolly Rogers squadrons.)
Before the Rabul campaign the Pacific war was in doubt. After it, people knew that it was just a matter of time.
It's as if IL-2 did not include Kursk or D-day.
The whole Rabul Campaign was pivotal.
Please, Please, Please include it.
