As someone mentioned in another thread here, Simviation forums as just passed it's 100,000th post.

I'd personally like to take this opportunity to thank the members of this particular forum for making the best aviation forum I've found on the net.

I frequent a few forums, some larger than this, but the one thing that gives this place real class for me is the absence of flame wars - the constant barrage of "Why are you bothering us experts with your stupid question", "You're talking complete *** - you must 8 years old" - that kind of thing.

It's a sad fact that this is commonplace elsewhere and it is to everyone's credit here, moderators and posters alike, that in my relatively short stay here, I've yet to see even the semblance of such negative and unnecessary behaviour.

I find myself here more and more often and elsewhere less and less. Thanks go to you all for making this such a friendly and well informed place, and congratualtions to Simviation forums on their continuing success.

I agree Tipster, I havent been on all that long, but have been to many sites and I find SimV the best.  The people are great, helpful  and this site if fun, fun, fun!!!!! A little crazy (lol) but thats what makes it fun.  Congrats!!! to SimV and the WebMaster  Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

after all i've seen, simviation is the place where i'll definitely rest for the rest of my MSFS career...

Agreed, and it is all really down to Pete Daly, who runs this site, and does a lot of work behind the scenes for which he gets little recognition or thanks, he is far too modest.
I started simming again less than a year ago after a long sabatical (about a decade), and signed up to several sites that seemed popular. Nowadays the only place I am is here.
I've made it my homepage for a good reason.

So lets all hoist a jar of our favourite beverage to Pete.

Ozzy

Cheers pete! These forums are the first I found and so the only forums I really have time for... Ain't you lucky!

I hope that these forums stay here for a long time yet... Cause I ain't leaving!

The flame wars get stopped pretty quickly, usually by readers themselves "dousing" the flames.  OThertimes, swift attention..

Nowadays, flame wars are likely to be comparisons of who can shoot the longest flame after a particularly nasty consumption of beans.....

This forum is the best!!!

Andrew, Matey,

I think most people get here through a search because I think if your search includes "Flight Simulator" in most search engines, SimV is the first or near the top of the page.
I vaguely recall that I read somewhere (don't even know if it was the net) about "addons" for CFS2. That's what got me looking.

Can anyone imagine what CFS1 & 2 would be like with only the original planes and missions on it.
I think it would go into storage pretty quick, with all the other P.C. games, Sega, Atari etc.....................lol
