• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

just returned from a gig in the Ogasawara islands.....Discovery Channel shoot.....and spent some time exploring the old Japanese tunnel fortifications on Chichi Shima....where Bush was shot down and from which he was rescued. An old clipping in one of the bars there was of the downed flyers not so lucky beheaded by the Japanese and of the trial and hanging of the officers responsible. brought it home that the consequences of not watching your six were far worse than having to hit "refly". looking forward to seeing where the devs take RS.....great work...thanks!
 
Very nasty treatment of people. Of interest, are those old fortifications kept open for visitors or do you still have to carve your way through jungle and animals to get in?
 
both..........some are open but neglected and overgrown a bit....the island is honeycombed with 'em
