There are complaints on the ALPA forum about more enforcement of the TOS, and some seem to be saying that a wholesale shutdown is on its' way. No idea if any of it is true (the forum seems to be working fine), but if it is, this little oasis of underboob and (mostly) civil discussion might get run over.

On a very bad day, APC is ten times more pleasant than what the Hangar Talk has become. What felt like low points in the discourse, might be looked back upon fondly as "the good old days".

I hope this doesn't get turned into that, but if it does, and the L&G turns into a East-West style death match before it dies, I just want to say that I've enjoyed this thread with you guys very much. Who knew people would be more respectful of one another when anonymous?

Here is to hoping it stays a worthwhile place; let's not make uncle Ferd have to come in and fix this once again.

Sincerely,
