[simpits-tech] DONE!

I agree and I'm not entirely certain as to when that "...became a bad thing". In the Avsim/Microwings heyday, informal advertising was allowed.. even encouraged but then folks discovered that eyeballs could translate into ad revenue. 



Certain sites nowadays are so strict about forum content that the threads & discussions are really lifeless. God forbid you post something in the wrong forum!

Well.. maybe if you have some time you can help me out with my F16! (Or point me to a carcass :-)

One thing that really galls me is having forum threads either locked or 
deleted based on un-published "no commercial ads" policies. 

The worst of the offenders IMO is mycockpit.org.  You can post commercial 
ads alright, but only after spending the equivalent of a mortgage payment 
on a banner ad. 

The guy that runs the place locked the thread saying "gee, I didn't know 
he was charging for the manual and the plans", then refuses to fix his 
post - I'm _NOT_ charging for the manual and that is mentioned explicitly. 

There's one admin there that's a really nice guy and other one appears to 
be a spastic passive-aggressive prat.  The joys of the internet. *sigh* 

I'm beginning to understand what turned Leo into such a bitter jerk 
though.
