I was suprised to see this change in AerobaticSource.com. While I'm sure there are some simulation enthusiasts (Greg Busby, are you there?) who are already pleased to see Patty's lot thrown in with FA, I frankly am not so sure I like it.I was a faithful reader of the old forum- it actually helped me make the decision to go out and get involved in aerobatics, and I have received excellent advice and lots of support from the people there. It represented a community of knowledgeable, helpful pilots who know about flying actual aerobatics in real airplanes. Also, the message archives of that forum were worth browsing in themselves.
I'm hoping this forum develops into a community like we had before. And I understand why it may make sense to consolidate some of the topic areas. I don't mind that; what worries me is the possibility that the members of the old forum may not relocate here at all!
One question: Is there any way the archives of the old board can be made available here? As I mentioned, those old posts have many nuggets of good information.
I wish this new forum success, and I hope ASC's identity will not be lost here in the VPC.
