I definately miss Frugals... I joined back in 98 when combatsim.com went to a pay only site. That was when Frugals really took off...
I miss the old debates with Raptor when he was convinced he was a living legend of aerodynamics...
And building new campaigns for the original sim. Those were the days... The instability would kill you in a heartbeat when flying multiplayer dogfight but it was still a blast!
I wonder if the site will really ever come back... I don't know about living legend but Raptor is a aero engineer . You obviously didnt know him then. In 1998 he was FAR from being an aero engineer... Have no idea in 1998 , that's right when F4 was released , it was much later that he help some in SPx series and was student , studying aero engineer at the time . I knew him then as well. I was flying with him then on the old 714VFTS Falcon 4 ladder...

http://www.f4support.com/forums/index.php That's great, but Frugals was much more than a flight sim forum.

Aeyes - How are things my friend? It's been a lone time.... `swamp You know, at Frugs at a certain point in time there was this gag that when you visited a certain thread your name would show up even if it wasn't directed at you, some script generated it. I have to admit I logged out here at SimHQ to check if this was the same script hahahaha. It wasn't and I feel stupid now. How are u Swampy I have retired and if I knew it was going to be this good I would have done it years ago I thought I would return to the virtual sky and get back into F4 again. Gad, your reflexes slow down as you get old. It's a pisser! You still get much flight time? `swamp

Hi Guys, Grumble here, ex-frugalsworld, and now running frugalsrefugees. As others have already said, frugalsworld was more than just about sims; it had a great community with a wide variety of interests, and there was something there for everybody. There are already specialist forums like SimHQ and freefalcon that focus on simulation to the exclusion of all else (well, mostly). Hopefully, the refugees forum, while remaining sim-focused, will be able to retain that community feel. We remain light on posters and knowledge, I'd like to extend an invitation to all and sundry to come over and join. We'd be glad to welcome you. You can find us at: Frugals Refugees

Unfortunately that site is now down... there were problems with the DB and hosting. However, we have a new site live at www.frugalsrefugees.com. Please note that this does not have the original frugals content.

Please note that this does not have the original frugals content. Hi Grumble, How long does it take to have one's account activated over there? I registered last week and still have not received the activation email. Even sent off a support request asking for help, but so far no response to that request. I can sign on and send personal messages but still cannot post on the forum. By the way, I registered as 'Ssnake51 there also.
