Why I'm Here

[Coloradojack]

I'll second Storm's June 30th comment. Well said my friend.

[BuugedFSX]

I'm never here, that's my problem

[Wingman]

I think it's something like:

WHILE i <> 0

SimulateDiscussion(Topic.Aviation)
i=RANDBETWEEN(MinParticipantIntelligence,MaxPartic ipanttIntelligence)

END

Of course, this means that the simulation of random aviation discussions ceases once the collective intelligence of all participants equals (or is less than!) zero.

[Storm]

"Random simulated aviation discussions" 14 (63.64%)

This is the second most popular vote. And it explains a lot. I'd always wondered how to simulate an aviation discussion at random, and all I'd needed to do was look around me. Of course now I wonder where the real aviation discussions are taking place. Ah, I know... among the professional pilots... :highly_amused:

Well i Picked Other Because I am A Professional Gamer (MLG/ Esports) and I have been Playing Flight Sim Since i was 4 years old as well as other Games Plus I also Like Helping Other People Who are New To Gaming Or Flight Simming. I also like Talking to People from other Countries.

A couple of interesting observations with these numbers:

- Of those that voted (thanks guys!), giving support is more of a reason for being here than getting it. Gotta love that!

- When there's nothing aviation-related to talk about, tell a joke! They're apparently more interesting than conversations about boring real-world stuff.

- The group flights are really why we're here (we already knew that), but look around the next time you're flying in one... chances are good that lots of the other pilots also host their own group flights!

Thanks for participating in my random little poll. I'd like to leave it open just in case there are more people who want to select their favorite reasons for being here, or for PRdude; he gets to vote twice since everybody loves PRdude.

I am here to make fun of Travis, Laser, Storm, Wingman, Prdude62, Robert Dunn, and Prdude62.....oh and myself. :monkey:

(You said Prdude62 twice...)

Heh heh....I like Prdude62.....

[Prdude62]

I am here for the great friends and fellow sim flight enthusiast that i have met through the years and for the fun we have always.

[Coast]

Well its what Bob Dunn said ... oops he didn't say anything yet, so its what Storm said. I would like to be here more often, but real life has resulted in me being here less often.

Simply put, I'm here for the FUN!

I ment to click other but it is a little hard on mobile but I like all of the above.
Can't wait to talk to you all in a week.!

[Storm]

Other = (i) friendships, and (ii) the mature, relaxed and open attitude that's our hallmark.

[Wingman]

I don't know about you, which is why I'm asking, but I'm here because the community adds a ton of variety and interest to my simming. Coming up with my own inspiration for flights worked for a dozen years or so, but sooner or later, I needed a group of dissimilar but like-minded hobbyists to mix things up a bit (a whole lot!).

So, what about you?

Let me know by picking any of the options in the poll that apply to you, and if you picked other, I'd love to hear about it below!

(Yes, he said below...)
