I have been home for some long while so I have not been able to see this board either.

But last year there was lots of good information about many types of things from grass flying upto airways joining and weather and rules and notams and safety matters like this

This year when I login again it makes me mad that somany person are only talking about other non private flying stuff and I cannot find some information I looked for.

Is it because of UK weather that peole do not fly so instead talk about crap? I hope so because this was a good place but now tooo many arguments about not important stuff and real flying private things are being dropped and I heard that some people who I have fight with in past may have gone which is sad because even when I fight I sometimes agreed with them about flying private stuff...

I log off again and come back in one week to see if better or worse and make up my own mind about stuff like these.

I think someone got out the wrong side of bed today - If you dont like it dont read it ! Theres a wealth of information here and this post does no harm.

bpilatus,

I've been reading PPRuNe for longer than I care to think about, and this forum since it started. And it goes through phases...different things happening, serious, interesting, boring, plain silly, whatever. One thing is guaranteed - this phases will change.

If you want to know about anything, why not start a thread. You don't have to know anything about it, even. I wish I'd asked about landing on grass before the first time I did it with no instruction or advice. Lots of us would be delighted to either read or give advice about...well, anything really.

If this forum isn't what you want it to be, change it!

For me, the best thing about PPRune has been the friends I've made and the wonderful advice I've received, particularly when I really needed it. I don't think I'd still be flying helicopters without PPRuNe. I certainly wouldn't have my instructors rating. It was a PPRuNer who recommended where to go for my hour building in the US, another who told me about flying helos in Russia, another who looked after my six cats while I went to the other end of the country for the instructors course, another who provided tea and sympathy at frequent intervals while I was down there, several more who answered questions and provided support when the going got tough. PPRuNe is only a website...but actually it's much more than that - and that applies to this forum too.

At least here we are never rude about the Flyer Forum, a place specialising in heated debate about how to fold up charts. They don't reciprocate our good manners, the rascals...

Well said Whirly - sounds like you have made the most out of PPrune, I too one day hope I can have done the same thing and I am sure I will.

Easy! - an examiner explained it to me once:

(1) Take a chart.

(2) Fold it up. Anyhow, doesn't matter.

(3) Pick an airfield somewhere in the middle of the visible bit.

(4) Base your aircraft there.

What a low blow... and from a man of your alleged calibre

The good thing about thread deletions is that another, bearing the same name, can be created

It's about people, isn't it?

Computers and technology are fine for those who like techietoys (yes, I'm one of those sad folk), but what makes the difference is people who care - who care enough to make an effort, and to do something for someone else.

Like the bloke who flew half way across the UK to pick up a stranded aviator he'd met through PPRuNe. And the lively bunch at various fly-ins and bashes and the like. Nice people, who care.

By and large, the selfish don't stay long. They get what they can, and push off.

Sounds a bit like a sermon - sorry!

Two Donks, I could happily chat about chart-folding for days. I'm thinking of defecting. What are the hours like?

Well said Keef.

Well, if smurph has banished my lovely, majestic, soaring penguin, then I can't think why, given that thanks to me he's getting the opportunity to run 26.2 miles in a couple of weeks.

What more could a bloke want of me?

well now then today I come and see that things are good like before. even though I have been reading as guest

How and why you may be thought - but this is the joys of here in this place that the the dummest stuff will sink and the usual good stuff will one day remerge to become top again as has now with lots of good things from my old posting days people back posting again

bpilatus say again, all after "well now..."

Yeah....

"reading you 2" bpilatus.

Was that post translated into Hungarian and then back again? Is there a website that does that automatically?

bpilatus

It is together with pleasure that I read of your feelings of happiness and the expression of good things that here you post.

I am not thinking, that some of you do not like my brocken English so much, yes?

It is good to laugh at some of your postings here and I don't mind that someone thinks of me funny because I am not so clear in all my postings. I even rememeber that some people posting above I fight with before sometimes So is okay

Now I am not mad like always before when things were not so good with things. Now things are good here again

JAFO I think knows what I meaning to say. Thankyou

Personally I think the PF forum has gone downhill over the last few months. There have been a few occasions when a thread has been closed just when it was getting lively. I think the job of the moderators is to moderate only when posts are deliberately offensive/racist etc, not because their 'little hitler' syndrome is kicking in.

The odd online scrap sometimes adds to the spice of life and when they've been left to run have often been more entertaining and informative than what went before.

Oh well, just my opinion.

What would you suggest I do, then, if I think that your "little Hitler" comment was deliberately offensive?
