• 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.

It's been nice folks, I've enjoyed my time spent here. Lately it seems, at least to me, their have been way too many touch-holes around. Really, I don't even know why I'm wasting my time posting. Say what you like.......Bye.
 
whats a 'touch-hole' ???

Its a question to me why some people on forums make a big deal about going away as they usually don't stay gone and almost always get over whatever the deal was after a day or so...

and who ever heard of a thin-skinned marine...?
c'mon - its just a forum.

see ya around in a couple of days Mud - and remember what the Joker said..."why so serious?"
 
Ickie - I don't know you guys as well as some other members as I just joined this year

that said I have found this to be the one of the most well maintained and well mannered places I have ever visited.

people seldom express their oppinions in a considered way - always popping off the cuff and only realising their inadvertent transgressions after the fact - after re-reading what they typed or having it interpreted in another way entirely by someone else who read it.

I hope cooler heads will prevail here and based on the general level of maturity and respect I've seen on this board I trust they will.

the Holidays can drive up the stress level and blood pressure at times - take it from me - my mother in law is not at all jokingly refered to as 'Endora' incase anyone is old enough to remember that old TV show....which makes me Derwooood I s'pose haha

so whatever it is that I've tried to say here today - remember what my old hockey coach used to say "never complain - never explain, just go to the box and serve your two minutes...you weren't helping us win this game anyways"

You learn something new on these forums every day

touch·hole (tuc̸h′hōl′)
noun
in early firearms, the hole in the breech through which the charge was touched off

Yeah Mud, the place has never been the same after I resigned as staff ( As we obviously don't have icons anymore, I can't add :costums: anymore)

MudMarine, I hope we'll see you back here sometime soon.

I was a moderator on a health related forum for several years and every year it was apparent that the stress of the holidays starts to show up in people's posts. This year especially with the added burden of financial stress that so many of us are experiencing. I can certainly empathize with Ron, as he has a thankless job that all too many forum members take for granted.

Can we all please just move on as SOH is by far the BEST flightsim forum on the net, bar none! It would be a cryin' shame to see SOH deteriorate because of nonsense like smilies and other things unrelated to flightsimming. SOH is an oasis for me to escape the animosities of politics and other things that are so prevalent on the internet. Aside from actually flying my sim, logging on to SOH is one of my favorite daily routines. Where else can I find like-minded friends who are as obsessed with this hobby as I am?

Mud, I would be truly saddened to see you leave us, as I enjoy your posts very much. Please reconsider.

Hate to see a fellow upstate NY'er leave. There aren't many of us up here in the barren wilderness.

Hopefully whatever happened will blow over soon. I haven't been here that long, but I find it to be one of the best and friendliest flight sim boards on the 'net.

If I were to identify a weakness in the Marine philosophy of life (On of My best buddies retired as a Bull Col and my grandrfather served with Smdley Butler in Central America....) is that they do not suscribe to the Stick and Stones.... view of life and are somewhat reactive to verbal criticism. Somewhat in the manner of the Ante Bellum Southern Gentleman.

Too bad as I was anticipating some excitememnt on his part about the new Corsair in the works. 50 cals at 1000 paces anyone?

Cheers: T.
 
that related to the bull-s(h)itting thread?
ah come on now!

that thread sucked, was unnecessary, had negative consequences and was a complete waste of cyberspace.

to imagine i took the time to read it...
 
There isnt a forum on the web that dont have isues like that. I for one spend more time here then avsim it seems to be more alive. As for those short tempered abusvive people, you cant escape them its just a fact of life, but why let them ruin a good thing. If you leave they won, there are more good people on here then those others so are we not here for the good of all, beside why leave and ruin all the good work the administrators are doing, lets give them a reason to continue by staying.
 
yea, but if we want to stay, they have to work for that!

need something more tangible.
simply "keep this place running for the good folks" is a very positive, yet weak reason, methinks...

? no?

Ickie and Canelo could be with the family, instead of monitoring the soft and hardware...
out fishing
playing pooter games
taking a nap

.

.

no?
 
oh, i am just questioning.
i want these people to open their eyes and see what they got.
then, if i can get them to fire up their brains, they might be willing to contribute.

maybe.
possibly.

if it is worth it.

so far... little response, many passers-by.
rather dissapointing, but, the day is still young.
