The forum members here (like all other forums I expect) come from all walks of life, some will be financially secure and have well paid jobs others will be at the opposite end of the spectrum and every pound \dollar\euro matters. However what we do or what social class bracket we fall under shouldn't be a problem . I've met alot of good people on here, some have gone above and beyond in the generous stakes and have helped me out or at least offered too on many occasions. A little understanding of other peoples problems\difficulties would go along way even if we ourselves don't have that problem\difficulty.

We are all fellow wargamers and share a hobby that many see as odd and geeky. We share a passion for history and still wish we were kids with our imaginary tommy guns or box of plastic soldiers and a marble;)

Anyway I don't like seeing long time members get dissalusioned with posting on here especially as I see a fair few of you on here as proper mates not just virtual avatars with odd name references:)

So lets try and understand other peoples needs a little more and enjoy our hobby!

Jason

The BftB upset wont stop be enjoying Matrix Games just may have to covet a few instead of buy them. Hope Erik got the pricing right and Matrix and Panther games live long and prosper.... and my wife sees my sad face around the house enough to buy me a surprise present.
Note to self put website address in her favourates ....

NO PROBLEM! - The price chilled a lot of people greatly.

I'm not worried, but then I have attended football games at the Frozen Tundra.

Status: offline 		In between beta testing, modding, and scenario designing, I have not been paying much attention to the latest soap-operahs in the wargaming department as of late.  So now I am puzzled as to what brought on this thread?  I can only guess two things at the moment...

A.  The flame/hate/bitch threads spawning up over the new HoI Semper FI gimmick.
B.  Someone started a new BraveHeart thread, and of course the English all took flame sides against the Scotts & the Irish again.


Was I right?

Status: offline 		Well you're right Wodin. I *am* a little suprised that some (very few actually) topics can get very heated. I mean, most of us are .... middle aged yet still sometimes rough words fly back and forth. Personally I've grown too old for that. Many of us I believe. But sometimes yeah, it can get a little tense. I've been on forums even before the word "moderator" existed, it could get much worse back then much worse. Mostly by very young people ofcourse, mudwars, flamewars, yelling and cursing, I've seen it all. So compared to those days Matrix is a heaven of peace and well mannered people.

You are correct, the Battlefront Forum regularly erupted into very intense words. There is nothing wrong with having a little light hearted banter now and then and it can actually be helpful to keep interest. But when it gets insulting or out of hand it detracts from what is important. Complain with reason and argue with integrity. It has much more effect that way.

It doesn't seem to me that this forum is full of hatred and hidden communists.

Muahhahaaa!!

Yes, I've arrived. Hang your heads and weep of the black days to come!

Those of you who are Gellin' Like A Felon will get their shoe inserts burned. On an airliner. Because I placed explosives in them when you weren't looking. I also hid a long dead fish somewhere in your house. Let's see if you can sniff it out this summer!
