okie dokie, i think i have finally gotten proof why i wont be joining the airliners.net forums.
http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/read.main/1231606/

that topic give good reason not to pay to join.
all they seem to do is bicker over the smallest things, and seem to think everyone should be interested in aviation, when to be quite honest with you 90% of the public couldnt give a damn whether or not its a boeing or an airbus, let alone a 737 or a320. Roll Eyes

of coarse most are a bunch of kids who like to think they know it all and when it omes down to it, half of them have never even flown as a passenger let alone pilot.
anyway rant over

Of course SimV is the friendliest. The problem is that when starting a flame war here, the flamee usually agrees with the flame-er.

Well just by reading the first few post, I can tell you this; they're the ignorant ones.

I totally agree that these people are being a**holes, but there is one point to consider.

These people come to those boards because they are professional aviation boards. The general public is less likely to see those boards BECAUSE they are pay boards. While I do believe that beginners need to be treated with care, there should also be a place where people familiar with aviation can let their hair down.

Yes, they are being jerks and I would not really be interested in joining, but who here who has been involved in FS for some time has not sniggered mentally at amatuerish remarks by some beginner who is making an understandable, honest, but obvious mistake. We help, and we spread our knowledge willingly, but we are not perfect beings.

BTW, I love that option they have on their boards for 'Suggest Deletion' It sure would come in handy!

it seems to be that they have a pole rammed to far up there *ss than to care about 'educating' the general public. I mean its alright to sit there and make fun of them but you cannot expect someone who isnt interested in Aircraft to know anything about aircraft! That topic made me sick! Undecided

It's sorta like a preschooler talking about the human body - of course he aint gonna know all the in's and out's and he has no need to!
