I was wondering if there could be a few changes and such..It seems that recently Avsim has become more of a "shopping mall", so to speak. Is there anyway to add a few other additions like Scenery Reviews, Bear's Cave, and possibly community thought pieces...you know, things that are interesting and have variety? I really miss Bear's Cave. It was fun to read and brought attention to many of our communities freeware authors. Stuff like this has seemingly been passed by the wayside in favor of "who released what" and "who's working on what". Although this "who released what" and "who's working on what" stuff is very important to the community, I personally do not feel that it is the most important aspect of this great hobby. (Again, just my opinion)Just a suggestion.Thanks for your time.:)

I could be wrong, but I think they operate under a "If you build it they will come", theory.IE: If people submit stuff, I think they print it. Reviews, etc.....It could just be a matter of not enough articles being submitted, etc..., although the last feature article I see is from June, 2003. :-) Reviews are current though...Regards,Joe

I just want to thank AVSIM for doing such an outstanding job for the flight simulator community... Keep doing what you're doing, because frankly, YOU'RE NUMBER ONE when it comes to this hobby... "shopping mall".......................NOTWe're so Dam lucky to have AVSIM for Free... Shopping Malls cost Money....... My wife shops at "Malls", and trust me, they cost.. ;)Hmmmmm... Wonder what the wife bought me this X-mas...

Speaking of wives.....its 0130....I had better stop playing FS9...too late anyways Im gonna get hell when I reach the bedroom...They just dont understand....

:-lol "They just dont understand...." So true...."Im gonna get hell" Again so true...It's good to see I'm not alone... :7I don't like to get in trouble by myself.... :-lol

>Speaking of wives.....its 0130....I had better stop playing>FS9...too late anyways Im gonna get hell when I reach the>bedroom...>>They just dont understand....My wife was the same way. One night she said," It's either me or the darn Simulator!!" I sure do miss her cooking :)

"I sure do miss her cooking" :-lolOpppppps...I got the same warning.... :(Now I get up at 4AM to flight sim, just so I don't impact my family life....Also, the 4am thing has saved me from pizza pops for supper... :9

If I hear "Are you coming upstairs yet?" I think I'll be a goner!

"If I hear "Are you coming upstairs yet?" I think I'll be a goner!" :-lolI guess I'm very lucky.... I always say "I'll be there in 10 minutes" but before you know it, shes sleeping.... :D

You bunch of thread Hijackers.... The lot of ya.... ;-)Mine has a routine..."Hit Pause....."goodnight....And sometimes she even hits the pause to resume the flight.Ahhh... True Love. :-)We now return you to our regularly hijacked thread.... :-)Merry Christmas,Joe

"Pause"Their is no "Pause" or "P" button in the real world... Get with the program man.... :( How on earth can you "pause"? "And sometimes she even hits the pause to resume"?"Sometimes" Pizza Pops here I come :9

All I can say is...Oh my God!Boys, Boys, Boys, when are you going to learn?Huggs and Merry Christmas!Kittiex:)~ Oh Bob, how's your cooking skills coming along? lol

You guys are lucky. My wife said to me, "if you're so in love with that simulator, what would you think if you just didn't see me for the next week?" I answered, "that's fine with me."Sure enough, I didn't see her for almost seven days, then one of my eyes began to open just a bit. R-

WOW!THis was the fastest thread hijak of the century. LOLBig group of ####!:-lol

Not only was it hijacked, but I don't know why it was posted in this forum. Isn't it more suitable for letters to the editorial staff or hangar talk?Bruce
