There is absolutely no guarantee of that, and given ED's form and the nature of the posts already in there from the mods it's probably unlikely that someone showing their disapproval won't get banned or suspended and their posts disappear along with them because that's how that place operates. People have already been warned about raising the same point over and over again or getting involved with scenarios that aren't specifically relevant to them.

Just think about it...someone that is raising the obvious concern about serving armed forces personnel who often have extended periods of time without internet connectivity (and certainly a lot longer than 3 days).....do ED only want to hear from those people out in Afghanistan right now....the same people that don't have any internet connectivity. Perhaps ED are manning the encrypted satellite phones and are awaiting their calls when there is a short break in the ongoing operation?

Trust me, mate, I've been looking. I have an old Logitech Wave cordless keyboard. Every now and again, I browse the keyboards and mice section of the local Curry's or Maplins or my online sellers and nothing really stands out. I'm not much of a fan of RGB or MX switches...


Ah well. I am a fan of Cherry switches. Even the silent ones are sweet. Wireless for games is a no go for me. My Das Keyboard and Razer Blackwidow do me well.

Of course, I love the click of the ancient terminal keyboards that I first used with a computer.

Vote seems to be now 61 users say 30 days and 60 users say 60 days. So It's probably gonna be 10 days smile

Ah yes. And you could pound a nail with it if needed.

EDIT: Yes, a little thread derailment is a good thing. It helps maintain perspective. smile

The vote is irrelevant. ED is going to do what they want. It will be interesting to see what happens in the long run.

Maybe a typo?

61 votes for 30 calendar days 39.61%

They have ignored the results of polls that they have created so...

You know them to well !!


This was not an ED/TFC Official Poll. Results are meaningless. Carry on with your 3 days and connect up people

Temp locking this thread (and maybe another) while I catch up.

I was on vacation and had a family member pass the first day I was on vacation...so apologies for not being here for when things got nuclear...I was tied up.

I have some homework to do on catching up on things here...I'm going to take a look, so patience on the thread re-opening is appreciated.

I will say off the bat, one member will not be joining us for quite awhile. He clearly has no interest in actually being a SimHQ member and uses the free service provided to tell us how bad and irrelevant of a community we are. I doubt
he will lose any sleep over it, and neither will I.


Stay tuned...

The thread is open now.

Unfortunately, there are 3 more members that will not be joining us for awhile . Some will be gone a little while...some a while longer.

I have stated this before and it's worth putting in bold...anyone that uses the free service SimHQ provides to attack SimHQ as an organization or a community will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. One would think this is common sense...but it's worth repeating.

Reading all the posts in one sitting actually gives you a better idea how the thread evolved as it's all fresh in your mind. Much like it is 75% of the time...customers are critical of the product, and the focus is shifted to individuals shortcomings.

As ED has evolved to what they are now...SimHQ has also evolved. It's unfortunate, but ED's sanitizing/control of certain forums has made SimHQ a sort of "safe zone" for critical opinions, and they don't have to be constructive. We all would prefer if
they were constructive, but it's not a requirement.

Cyberkut did a great job clearing out the thread salute ...so I'm leaving what's in there as it was before the lock. This is an important topic that should have some discussion...so let's keep it clean and unlocked please.

Thanks in advance. wink

No typo, at the time was like that - also just before temp locking the thread I was gonna mention at the same time there was 154 voters and 157 votes. smile
Now there's 191 voters and 199 votes.
