Read 'em & Weep -- Rec. Aviation Rogues Gallery is Coming Down
There once was a time, not long ago, when this group was filled with
hundreds of positive, upbeat, and interesting pilots and aviation enthusiasts. It was a fascinating place, with the only shortfall being that we couldn't SEE what each of us was/were flying. Therefore, I came up with the idea of a Rec.Aviation Rogues Gallery, where regular posters could post a little biographical information and some pictures of their aircraft. See it he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm As you can see, it was pretty popular, and it was great fun to administer. It really helped give a "feel" for the person you were talking to, and I think everyone enjoyed the opportunity to show off their "pride & joy" aircraft. You may see pictures of some current posters, but what you'll notice most is the huge number of people who are no longer here. One by one, almost all the great folks in the Rogues Gallery have been driven off by the "Bertie/MX/Rich/Mikey/Maxwell Troll-o-Rama Show". I would not have believed it to be possible, but in a relatively short period of time this tiny handful of trolls and sock-puppets has driven away an amazing number of people. As a result, this group, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists as an avenue of meaningful exchange for pilots. It is therefore with great sadness that I've decided to pull the gallery down. Look at it, copy/save your pictures if you'd like, enjoy it while you can -- but Friday it's going away. There's simply no reason for it to exist anymore. Blue skies, all. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
