I recently moved from an iPhone to an Android. Being the sort of chap that I am, I have dived headlong into my new fellowship. Upon frequenting several Android forums, I have come to the conclusion that SimHQ has the most respectful and inclusive community of any forum I've visited.

After wading through all the petty name-calling and hand-wringing of these other sites, I find coming here a complete breath of fresh air.

Thanks for creating an online presence where the drama of immaturity is the exception rather than the rule.

Cheers!

Agreed, much better than most forums. It's really exceptional considering the size of the site and the number of members here.

I have to say I am delighted I joined Sim HQ.
There seems to be a better and more mature reasoned point of view compared to other forums
Plus the moderators are Bad asses. LoL

The occasional drama I see here and there has not deterred me from coming back to SimHQ every day since Dec 2000. May it live on!


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

SimHQ is one of the few mature "sane" forums I frequent. One of those hidden little gems of normal in an internet full of nutbars wink

Oh, I've been to PWEC. I've been a SimHQ member since 2003, but even with all the silliness we sometimes see in these gloried halls, it pales in comparison to the drivel I see in these tech forums, which are often populated by technically savvy folks with minimal social skills and emotional intelligence.

Why you young whippersnapper, I oughta...

Seriously, I am no Apple fanboi. I'm a PC-lovin, iPad wielding, Android-bearing, XBox 360 and One toting, Android-Wear & Tizen adorned bad-a** tech wizard. I love it all. My allegiance is to no one. I dig playing with cool 23rd-century stuff right here in the 21st century, regardless of who makes it.

You should have been here when we had the pair of "Adminssassins" (Cat & Electra). They were quiet, stealthy, and you never even knew they were there until it was too late.

Fully agree with you JCathart. SimHQ is indeed special and I hope it stays around for many years to come.

I have to agree this IS one of the most mature sites I've ever been a part of even when something degenerates into petty name calling and nitpicking the latter is the exception not the rule and its a good community to be a part of.


I've got a bad feeling about this.....

SimHQ is currently my only online presence and a comfortable place I can go to reflect on the past or vent about the present by comparison, knowing there are people my age that can relate. I don't do this so much in real life (what a drag that would be), other than my interest in older PC tech and entertainment. I try to live real life in the present while looking forward to the future. But here, where many older flight sims are supported and discussed (alongside the newer ones) I feel at home.
