Ten reasons (or more) to donate for SOH drive

For me the most important reason to support the SOH is the fact I most probably find more news about things which have my interest here than anywhere else and a donation is much cheaper than a subscribtion on a fancy glossy magazine.

I'm sure there must me more than 10 reason so please supply your reason!

Cheers,
Huub :icon_lol:
 
..Because you promised to beat me up if I wouldn't... :blind:

J/k! :icon_lol: (No really, someone call the police!)

How much time do we all spend here every day, week, or year?

For $10 you can't even see a movie anymore these days, or get a burger and some fries.
 
The news to noise ratio is very high here. I read a lot and don't feel a need to post unless I have something to add.:salute:
 
I come here because:

1) There are a lot of sim-seasoned veterans here who participate and welcome new less-seasoned simmers
2) The vast majority here have earned my respect for their knowledge and willingness to share it
3) People here are genuinely interested in the flight sim community and contribute to the growth of like-minded membership
4) Those in #1 above show respect for the less seasoned among us and welcome all as equal (potential) contributors
5) There is a feeling of "family" here
6) This is a member supported site and we care about its overall quality
7) You haven't run me off yet :)
 
I come here because:

1) No matter your experience level in flight simming you are made to feel welcome
2)The wealth of knowledge available is second to none
3) And last but not least, members who ask nothing in return are providing us with aircraft and other creations that would make some payware companies blush...
 
I started coming here shortly after I bought FS2004, when it was released. I downloaded a P-38 made by somebody called “dcc”. I had a question about it on some “other” site and was told to visit here, where this dcc character could most likely be found. Not only did I find him, but David Copely was very kind and helpful, answering all the questions and more, from this unknown “newby”. I’ve never left. Never had a reason to. I received the same helpful treatment from Milton, Gnoopey, fliger747, and anyone else I ever had a question for. It seemed very different from the other places I had visited...

I'm guessing a lot of you are wondering why I have yet to contribute.
Sensibly, I can not at this time. So for the time being, my name remains blue. Like our RW.

:icon_eek: Geezz... I would NEVER want to do that, Milton. So my reason for comming here is that I feel a sense of "belonging" to something worthwhile. I feel that I have made a few friends here over time. The very least I can do is help out a little, I'm not much more than a nuisance for the rest of it.

SOH is the single most important flightsim addon available. And the price is such a good deal. Seriously, if SOH disappeared, how much would your flightsim experience diminish? No one to share ideas with, get inspiration from, learn new flightsim tricks and tweaks, share experiences with, learn about other off the wall topics, find support with flightsim and life in general, have a social outlet, have a creative outlet, entertainment, and I am sure there is more!!!

Now quit bragging about your "rig", and spend a little money on SOH instead of the latest computer parts. Your computer is junk if you cannot use it to donate to SOH!

Just my "2 cents".

I know there are are other flightsim sites, but only one SOH.

Because you come for the files but stay for the people.

SOH really is a one-of-a-kind place on the internet and it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it.
 
I come here because it is home away from home. When I'm on duty in the US I come here because of the Canadian Membership and there Armed Forces Vets to keep me informed on my Canuk home and Vice verse when I'm on duty In Canada. So SOH provides me a inter communication between my homes of the US and Canada and our Armed Forces that I serve. Sempar Paratus and Ka Ganawaitak Saguenay.
SOH a donation will be coming soon, I'm just finishing up my Canada and US Taxes.
 
Any outfit that sends ya a note from half the away around the world saying Happy Birthday has to be worth ten Bucks :sheep: Sheep in our case :icon_lol:
 
I've made a couple donations thus far. This site is one the few I visit several times a day. Although I haven't been active with flight simulation for a couple years (now just getting back into it), I have tried to stay current with all that's going on.

SOH members have SO much experience, and I appreciate the knowledge shared. I feel like I have a lot of friends on this site, and it is definitely worth supporting! Thank you Ickie, and everyone associated with the administration of this site.
