It would be nice to know who the two pilots, to whom the OP referred, are, and specifically what they posted on AvWeb that precipitated the legal action, as well as their specific comments that resulted in AOPA closing their message board. I'd say they wield a mighty "sword" indeed. Both shall remain nameless. Only one of the AOPA posters was involved in AvWeb's trouble. That poster was one of those sued by the aviation attorney for his attacks on said attorney. The other AOPA poster no longer flies and has a general contempt for anyone who does. He was tossed from another board. They both have a pattern of right wing extremist politics and personal attacks on other board members whom they may deem undesirable for whatever reason. |

It was - until they moved it to a web forum. I don't know what it is
people like about web forums, but coming from offline newsreaders I just can't get the hang of them other than to do a quick look up of a support problem. The web forum has improved membership tremendously, but there still is not much training discussion going on. The $15 per year probably discourages student pilot sign ups. Sure, it's not much, but why should they pay anything when you can get it for free elsewhere? These newsgroups have a far greater participation than any web forum, and, like you, I prefer offline reading. |

As well, I can recall off the top of my head a couple of commercial BB's that were shut down because of left wing crybaby/trolls that flooded the boards causing the companies to have to shut them down. Two were "leisure" related and two pertained to construction that were flooded by EarthFirsters. |
