oh yes, youtube. I heard about the youtubes. very cool stuff. thanks so much for taking all the time I would never conceive of wasting sifting through useless 1:30 videos and then posting them here through links with nonsensical description. Alright, to be fair, "B-17 bellies on" was actually pretty descriptive, but it was still a time-waster. And I especially thank you for not posting them to the video section. I would never have even noticed this useless post otherwise. JERK.

Skybolt,

I guess I'm missing what the problem is. I've seen this 'battle' going on all over WIX and maybe there really is an issue, but in this thread you come across like a real tool. Are you opposed to these video links or only the fact that a new thread is created for each? The video itself wasn't bad and after watching it, I linked from it to B-17 combat footage that was quite remarkable.

If you wouldn't mind, please clarify (without insults, if possible) what all this is about.

Thanks,

Art S.

HGUCSU...............!

Please don't use titles like this....You scared the CR@P out of me......I thought a currently flying B17 had gone down.

Try adding a date, or even better, add a date and put it in the appropriate folder for Video links

Thank you.

Okay, I will admit to being a little 'tool-like' the other night. I was just driven to frustration over this fellow's continued anti-social behaviour and his repeated insults to anyone who politely asks him to change his posting behaviour. I aplogize to the group for going off as I did, and what I did probably gave him satisfaction, as what trolls like him really seem to enjoy is upsetting people.

I have edited the title. It has been asked by members of the WIX community to not use titles of present tense involving crashes or significant damage to warbirds without clarifying if it is archive or historical discussion... not a report of a new incident.

Awaiting your response to the message I sent you.

Skybolt,

I wasn't seeking an appology, just clarity. I've seen a few off color (read poor taste) posts from the OP but, mostly it's just links. Is it just that the OP starts a new thread each time he posts a link or is there some long standing bad blood for some other reason?

If the moderators don't like hat he is doing, why not just a clear and simple warning with instructions on how to correct the problem, followed by a temorary ban, followed by a permanent ban? If the moderstors aren't bothered then who is?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Regards,

Art S.

Also helps for the millionth time, to post it in the Video area.

I still think it would be more logical for "base theater" to be it's own section, like the photo gallery.

Mon Mar 10, 2008 5:22 pm

Heheheeeeeeeee, ahhhhhhhhhhh,

Ain't posted in awhile but this is to good to pass up....


It's pretty funny that the base theater was created mostly to give HGUCSU
a place to post these goofy board spammy non-descriptive or badly descibed links, and the only person who hasn't posted there is HGUCSU.........

Heheeeeeeeee, classic baybay......

:D

Well when you actually crew on a B-17 and some of your closest friends are crew/pilots, wouldnt you be concerned if you glanced at a thread reading "B-17 bellies in"?? :? :shock:

It takes awhile, but I'll get the big flick eventually. Got a lot of time now that I am free of the onerous burden of going to work everyday.

Noon:wake up
Noon+10:Find beer
1ish:Play grand theft auto
2ish;Recheck beer and marboro supply
6ish:Tell girfriend about job search, reassuring hugs, kisses, sex(maybe)
8ish:Recheck beer and marlboro supply, Fix if deficient, play more GTA
Midnight:Rest eyes, eat frozen burritto, Check WIX for bitchin pictures
Midnight thirty: Recheck beer and marboro supply, Fix if deficient before 2am, resume playing GTA


Noon:Wake up........................
