Dead Forum Walking

[stepwilk]

Sad to see what's become of PPRuNe. Unless there's an AF447, this place rolls up the sidewalks when the sun goes down, and I hardly need to check in more than once a week.

I also used to frequent the "History and Nostalgia" forum, but now it's nothing but a handful of endless "identify this silhouette" or "what cockpit?" threads and nothing else of consequence.

There are a variety of other vigorous forums for warbirders and vintage-aviation enthusiasts, but sadly nothing much for pilots.

Maybe there are actually many threads started each day, but they somehow contain the word "Ryanair" and are therefore auto-deleted from the board

One suspects that the PPRuNe franchise is just waiting to take on new opportunities.

Sadly I have to agree with you ref. aviation. Nonetheless, if you lose your mind, hang around down here. You will never leave and there might even be a film script in it!

And God forbid that you flew for, are flying for or ever mentioned that airline that begins with E.

UK / Europe goes to bed !!!

I blame Julia. She comes from Barry in Wales you know!

Whatever has happened to the raucous Southern Hemispheric contingent? They are missed.

If they did want that, they sure as hell never posted here!

Would it be news if Ryanair landed on a Runway for once, with full reserves?

Well, their proxies did.

Yes, this forum has gone downhill rapidly in the last few days.

Right wing hate filled retards have killed it stone dead.

It's been real.

Seriously, what's up with the Down Under boards? Threads get locked and deleted at such a rate the clampdown pretty much assures people get tired of trying to dicuss almost anything. I'm in the dark as to why. Is it risk of lawsuits or hyper-sensitivity, or what? I'm not brand new, but still fairly new, and have been wondering this for awhile now. What did I miss?

Example: USAir or AA pilots get charged with being intoxicated and the thread last for months on R & N, with hundreds of posts and thousands of looks. Qantas pilot gets taken off a flight for that suspicion which is confirmed, and in less than a day it is taken off the R & N and moved to the D & G forum, where it lasts less than another day before it is locked and disappears. What gives?

Really, the only post I've read here in quite some time that is filled with hate, is yours.

I thought on Jet blast pretty much anything goes but I will agree with Con,
can't see too many hate filled retards here.

Classic irony. Thank you for your enlightened commentary. Is that Aberdeen, Scotland or North Dakota you hail from?

[Dushan]

Hate filled? Wow, and here I thought we were on our best behavior, bashing the Bamster and his band of incompetents.

The problem was, perhaps unwittingly, identified by none other than your goodself Caco -

Ah strewth fellahs! You are all beginning to sound like a bunch of Poms.

Because Caco, with very rare exception, that is precisely what they are!

Alternative mainstream Australian views are not tolerated in any way and any such posters are methodically culled as the most cursory reading of the thread will readily confirm.

The vast majority of potential posters and site traffic are ipso facto excluded from the forum.

Unrepresentative, disaffected, minority groupthink rules.

I love it when the commies show their true attitude towards the concept of free speech that they are always whining about.
