The fact is you clogged this forum with every little change to your site.
I, for one, got very sick of your continous updates. Hopefully this will be
the last message about you and your site.

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

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.
