I was thinking about discussing my various projects for FlightGear on
the mailing list instead of the forums, but I figured I'd better not
spam the list like I do on the forums.

Agreed. And it seems certain people expect the forums to be some kind of
100% nice utopia...

Before we had the forum all things like developing new features; adding new 
codes; developing new aircraft etc. have been discussed here on the list.
The forum was more for the users.

Now it seems to me it has changed. The list is quiet since a while now; there 
are only few announcements for code changes, (in the past we had more, though 
the number of changes are still similar), and as I can see more and more people 
using the forum for questions about developement and coding. 

I must admit, that the quality of the forum depends much on the users we have. 
On the one side a got big help on modelling the EC130 B4, more than expected. 
On the other side I see a lot of spam by younger users in the forum, which 
makes reading more and more difficult and unpleasant.

I tried to get my account deleted two times already, but Stuart and Gijs didn't 
let me go! ;-)

If the weather is fine, yep, the real pilots here like Detlef, Syd and others 
spent their time getting some more hours of flight, some others like me prefer 
spending the time outside. Always visible in the summer months.

What a nice example of perceptional relativism! We have the same set of
data (= the actual number of posts to development related topics in the
forum and on this list), and yet one person can see the forum on the rise,
the other on the decline. To add to the confusion, I can't see either.

I'd imagine that springtime is coming in many northern hemisphere
countries (not yet here in Finland, alas) and I'd think (and hope...) that
people like to go out rather than write code or write forum posts or mails
to the list.

Cheers,

* Thorsten

(Certainly not me!)

Forum activity is winding down too- all the informal aircraft/scenery
developers have either left or are inactive.

That can be due to 06 running out of uplink bandwidth (or 01 since 06 
also relay only via this hub but that is less likely).
Btw 06 will most likely be shutdown within about 3 months.

Sssshhh! One little thing:

fgms/GIT sometimes drops a pilot who is flying on an other server. My
server mpserver08 is latest GIT and has only mserver01 configured as
"hub".

Some days ago I played with someone (he as my wing man) who came from
mpserver06. He somtimes disappeared in thin air but was back after some
minutes. When I asked him if he was disconnected, he said he was still
online.

It seems more and more that people prefer using the forum instead the
