How about John_uk?

I've seen his sig, but am not sure as to if he put it there or not?

Plus he says hes been banned but yet he's not an ex member?  :-?

[quote][quote]quite a few accidents

yes but how do they get back on if there banned? (IP logged) surely once your banned then you shouldn't be able to get back on (strange)

Dave :-?

Banned & ex members are 2 different things.

Banned members accounts should still exist. 'Ex members' accounts have been deleted - very often in error.

There could be many reasons someone would delete their account. Is it really interesting?  :-?

People come & go all the time .... who cares?  8-)

Banned members are not posting new posts, though you might find something by them in a current thread if they were banned recently.

People who rejoined after deleting for whatever reason often take the same name, so you can find both Clipper and Clipper (ex-member) on the site, for example.

It does seem to me though that sometimes people newly post, and they have the name "ex-member" in their account - which IS strange, so I know what you mean. Perhaps they reactivated it, or Yabb reactivates it automatically if they rejoin with the same IP/email etc? I don't know. Maybe I just imagine it....  ::)

I want to be a Pie-Loving Member.  Ex-Members . . . Banned Members . . . gosh, I hope I am never either (though after this post, who knows?).  I do know that I like pie.  And SimV.  Please, don't make me decide which I like more.  That's like comparing Cessna's and Boeing's.  I mean, pie is pie, and Airbus has made a building that flies sideways.

More seriously . . .

These things are just the way the world works.  My suggestion is, if you find someone else here that you like and have a connection with, get to know them and, if you both are amenable to the idea, exchange e-mails.  That way, even if you get banned for drinking and posting (please, please, please, Pete, forgive me, for I know not what I do . . . especially after those last two shots), you can keep in touch with your friends, even outside of SimV (perish the thought).

Beyond that, I think it is all about the flying.  And that is something you can share with any other aviation and flight simulation enthusiast here.  Makes me feel, truthfully, very lucky.
