I can understand, why somebody would spend time and effort, criticising ( or hacking at the extreme ) a site that represents something they have strong feelings regarding ( not saying I agree with such activity mind you ) . But a long standing flight sim site ??????????? FFSK :roll:

I suspect that you are making several huge assumptions there.
Namely that they are intelligent, they care and using their own wouldn't be any fun !
