August 16, 20241 yr I'm just wondering why I get so many "503" errors trying to get on this site. It's down more frequently than any other site I visit. Is it being hacked all the time? Just curious. Jack Sawyer

August 17, 20241 yr Jack, I sympathize with you Sir. I am recovering from a left shoulder joint replacement from over 12 moths ago. The right shoulder needs replacement too but the left after surgery is still more painful than the right shoulder. Might try to live out life with the right shoulder as it is now. I know the pain mate so I wish you well. Tony Tony Chilcott. My System. Motherboard. ASRock Taichi X570 CPU Ryzen 9 3900x (not yet overclocked).

August 17, 20241 yr This Forum software must be about 30 years old now, not sure how many Forums are left out there this one is the only Forum I go on these days, Social Media pretty much took over. I can imagine its not that easy to keep it running Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

August 17, 20241 yr I too, am a frequent visitor here at avsim and agree that there are many kind & helpful members herein. I hope it (avsim.com) outlives me! I don't do social media in general, especially Facebook. I don't like the way a lot of people behave on FB, which is why I deleted my account several years ago. Reddit & Quora seem to have a lot of idiots and know-it-alls who seem to want to proclaim their knowledge & prowess. Of course, this is my opinion and to each their own. Long live avsim.com!!!

August 17, 20241 yr Just wanted to say that IMO forums are still the best way to exchange ideas and talk about....whatever. So much of the new platforms are based on either chat (discord) or threads which fall away and lose focus (reddit). A place like Avsim is very much still valuable and needed.
August 18, 20241 yr Moderator It's often said you don't fully appreciate something until you no longer have it. On a completely different subject my football team in England had a front three that must have been the best in the world. Sadly we all get older and footballers have a very short career. I do miss two of those players. The third probably has one or two seasons left at most. I couldn't think of a flight sim life without AvSim. It's probably the best there is even with us pesky mods sometimes upsetting a few rascals from time to time. 😁 Ray (Cheshire, England).
