Thanks again guys for your kind words.
Yes the registration is old, since we organizied fly-ins together with SimHQ back then. So there was plenty of collaboration, just not on the forums.
I'll be happy to share comedy with you guys - well, maybe not on DCS anymore, lol.
And again, don't feel too bad about them, I understand them, and even after all these years of flight simming, I am still having a blast.
And as some of my forespeakers said: simming is waiting a lot, but it is worth it, there are many great things coming, EDGE, nevada, hormuz, f-18, f-14 (hell, yeah!) and so on.
So, there is a lot to be positive about. :-)

So, there is a lot to be positive about. :-) In fact, we all can't deny that this game has a lot of bugs but i believe that most are due to the fact that they are using most of their resources on the EDGE. I believe that once EDGE is out we should see a consistent bug fixes, surely it will take time but i really believe that they will all be sorted out. We just have to hope that we see EDGE ASAP and all bugs related to EDGE itself to be sorted out ASAP too,

Sound argument, which is why I'm reinstalling, I don't like them for sure, but do like the sim, so well said Tom_Weiss.

I think they put way more love into this than we consider, it's not like this is the super-duper cash cow, and yes, it is a business, but also work of joy and dedication. and from that perspective I feel so much, why I did hurt them, and why their reaction is, like it is. agin, to me 100% fair. And I'll stay their fan to the end of they day, because no other game provided me with nearly the same amount of wonderful hours spent on flying. No one even came close. So, if you stick with me, no matter the hard feelings, give them a chance, and give the great community a chance.

Well, that was a fairly disturbing comparison seeing as how ED is a company selling a product. Is selling people not outlawed? awww, duuude, you totally didn't get the metaphoaaa, duh! (JK)

yeah, I think like you mentioned above - make a seperation between how moderators behave (and not all of them are the same there as well) and those who make the sim.
whatever their reasons are and how unfortunate it seems, I think we all can agree that we won't change that. it's their house, their rules. I don't want that to stop me from enjoying the sim. but I feel you, too, of course. I've known them for these past 11 years - and it won't change, if anything it is getting worse. Something I came to realize only recently, is that there is almost no flight sim website really friendly towards them, they managed to alienate all of them at some point. Most do as I do - enjoy the product and try to ignore the rest...

I'd like to think that the new framework is a good thing; if you get a warning/ban they need to give you a reason, and the tiers keep the severity of the ban from being arbitrary. I think they recognize that at least one of their moderators stepped over the line, and they are doing what they can to get it under control. I also noticed that only the ED staff (i.e. not mods) can perma-ban now.
That said, lockonfiles.com is still censored both in regular text and hyperlinks, so they may not have been reading this post (or at least the first page) after all...

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

there should be a warning when creating an account in that forum: POSTING IN THIS FORUM IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THIS FLIGHT SIM. That said, lockonfiles.com is still censored both in regular text and hyperlinks, so they may not have been reading this post (or at least the first page) after all... did you expect them to change that ???
