I really do think some of the posters here need to grow up. Danny has said that it's his website and he makes the rules. If all you can contribute in return is that you will leave, you are doing nothing positive. Look at the results of the poll. There are 86 people there who say they speak Afrikaans. There were more pilots than that just in the last company I worked for in 1 African country. One of you can surely just set up your own website for an Afrikaans campfire if you feel so strongly about it - like Helitorque and other websites have been set up in the past by people who thought they could do better than Danny. You can then have your campfire and still contribute here. You only have to look at the numbers at alternative websites and at this one to see how popular PPRuNe is. If you leave, it will still be popular, but missing something from a few guys whose posts have occasionally kept us amused and occasionally made us mad. Just PM each other, set up an Afrikaans campfire, use the opportuity to slag off Danny in Afrikaans if that's what makes you happy, and then come back to PPRuNe to post on African aviation topics. What problem do you have with that? Show people that you really are just a fun-loving, beer drinking bunch of good-time guys, put it behind you and get on with life.
