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 "Clogged" this forum?

What planet have YOU been on?

As for "clogging" Jay is WAY behind....

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.

So you have been to Jay's hotel?

The place is
obviously a 60-70's era motel in bad need of overhaul that he just hung a
few cheap aviation pictures on the walls and tries to bill it as a "themed
hotel". Of course, in Iowa City, it's probably considered a jewel.

I really thing you should keep it. How many of those folks have actually
stayed with you, and or made one of the parties.

I wouldn't change your signature either.

Not producing much for him, is it? Except for people telling him to FOAD,
that is.

Hey Bertie: STFU, huh?

This is an easy sock to figure out, so give it a rest, or at least have the
balls to say it yourself.

I have. Mike doesn't know what he's talking about.
