...In our forum.

That is a statistic I find very sad. We had always maintained a level headed and mutually respectful forum. The last few days have seen some poor posting IMO.

I hope locked topics don't become the norm

You vill be ZILENT! Dizcuzzing ze matter ist VERBOTEN!!! Vot do you zink you are, adultz?!

No problem Brig, I kinda like to hear the BIG GUNS roar every now and then.

(let's you know they're still ranging on target)

Ok, 20mm aint that big of a gun, but it's all about hitting what you're aiming for.

Exactly why I locked that thread. It turned into a display of poor posting manners and personal attacks that completely lost sense of the sim and objective commentary or debate.

If that kind of behavior persists, yes, there will be more locked threads. Keep it civil, don't attack your fellow members. Up to you all.

I'm going to have to cringe now. In fact I will probably cringe so hard I might turn inside-out. Reading something as overtly obsequious as that is akin to sucking on a barrel of lemons.

Please don't take offence from that observation, I don't mean any by it and it's not a personal attack, I'm sure you just worded your post not as well as it could have been worded.

Oh my gosh, you're right!

(it's probably a WWI thing)

Actually, I find a locked thread now and again as a sign of a healthy forum.

Let's just stick in our favorite "pre-lock" buzzwords into this one for fun: Nazi, Socialist, Fascist, and Fanboi.

It deserved to be locked after the new members came in there guns drawn. I think a review is a review...negative or positive. It's the personal attacks that must stop, especially from those who create an account just to start trouble. Sigh.

Livens the place up we were all dropping off the twig there for a while. Sharpens focus

Absolutely right FlyR.

Sorry to bump up this thread, but I think the locked thread should either be deleted or moved also to the OFF forum.
Here is why: somebody posting a positive review of OFF got his thread moved, while the negative review of OFF is still visible in this forum.
I don't think that was the intention of the mods here, but it may appear as a double standard. It would be best then to move it to the OFF forum.
Just my 0.2 cents.

I'll consider removing it. I'm not going to move it to the OFF Forum. It's locked and I don't see the benefit to anyone.

I wish I'd caught it earlier, but that's how it goes.
