Can we tone down the ads a bit?

I understand, you've gotta have banner ads to pay for bandwidth and domain names and such.

But maybe get rid of the obnoxiously distracting ones that flash 6 different colors, tell me i'm a winner, and threaten to give me an epileptic seizure? I can't read the forum because of the darn thing! And my $5 should count for something right?

Seems to me like desperate times require desperate measures. Obviously the Admin. (Flyaway) has given up on what once used to be a thriving community: the Flyaway forums. It looks like nowadays any sponsor will do as long as even just a couple of dollars can be made before FlyawaySimulation finally bites the dust.

Ironically a formerly very active member once questioned the claim of a 'Lifelong Membership' for $5... who's to say the site is still running when I'm still alive? he wanted to know.

This community has mostly moved to FSF now.

What you call 'has moved' I call 'has been recruited'. The fact that this filthy business is tolerated only proves that the Flyaway Admin. has lost all interest in this site.

Tailhook is back! 😀

ANd yes, some of the ads are very annoying, but I'll stick to Flyaway.

I've no plans on "moving"... between USAVA forums and here, that is all I need.
