It's been over a month...I guess the Frenchies and Brits in charge of this place are on a Euro vacation again. If Americans were in charge of this site it would have been rehabbed 5 years ago...ok maybe not but we can dream.Originally Posted by Tully__ Go to original post
Doing these things would make this site a lot better, if anyone is paying attention:
- make the default text what is now 3 instead of 1. The current default is way too ****ing small, I'm "only" 32 and it makes MY eyes hurt badly trying to read this tiny crap, I can't imagine what the older folks here feel.
- take away the blue snot thing and put in some borders and backgrounds that look Il-2-ish
- make it so sticky topics in the topic list are more distinguishable from the normal everyday topics...it's too hard to figure out which is which and everything blurs together.
- put in some smilies that at least don't look all blurry and mushy. The old ones were classic.
In general I think some of the changes are great. I like the WYSIWYG thing and the better functionality of posting images and videos. But there are so many negative changes that they cancel the positive ones out and make this place more annoying to come to than it used to be. It would be nice if they could make logging in automatic like on 99.9% of other websites but I guess that is too much to ask of the French. I don't get how they could do it 4 years ago but not today.

Actually it could be a great idea if we moved and made a concerted effort to keep the community alive and kicking. We need some good old fashioned trolls back. Trollings not as fun here anymore because there aren't enough people, the ones you can troll and offend are people you actually like and don't want to piss off.
I tried to find other places for forum hilarity but it's not the same. Reddit is full of idiocy, singletrackworld...well they're idiots and the mods have chips on their shoulders, overclockers.co.uk......kind of low brow......the only good forrum is ARRSE (havn't had so many belly laughs in a long time, the dark humour is right up my street) but I'm not a squaddie so you have to walk a fine line so you don't get your head bashed in whilst being asked why a civvie is joining in.
EDIT: *&%$! my post counts nearly 10,000. whoa

This no longer looks like the kind of site that a WW2 Aviation enthusiast would stop at and have a look around. I come here once in a while to lurk or catch some useful info about the game because I still fly it constantly online and off. I just thought I would add my opinion and say that this site looks creepy. No WW2 images on it at all? Thumb-down.![]()
