So what is the "Purple" board?

Give me more to go on. I don't want to register just to take a look. If it ain't aviation related, I ain't really interested.
 
I registered last night, but I see that some members have over 100 posts, yet from what I see there aren't 100 posts on the board. Are there restricted forums I cannot see?


I count 2 restricted forums and 6 deleted forums.

It's aviation related, plus places for alternative discussions - quite similar to this board, really, but just giving folks an alternative. It's sort of what we wanted the red board to be, if they would let it.

There is a moderator forum that was quite busy during the setup period, which is where some of those posts counts you saw probably came from. :)
 
Lively conversation......not just the aviation FAQs but disscusion.:goofy:

You probably wouldn't like it......:no:

Don't make me refer our own management council members to the 'no bashing of other aviation related sites' discussions! :p:rofl:

(No matter how true ;) )

LOL! No bashing just comparing. Actually my feeling on such things is I hope it succeeds. The more you folks you involve in an interest the healthier it is for the interest.
 
I have subscribed to two other aviation related forums and they never caught on. One I dumped, the other has marginally enough traffic that I keep watching.

IMO, PoA is the best and say what you will about AOPA, it is number 2 on my list.

Again, why don't you actually TRY it and THEN decide? Of course, you'll have personal experience and pesky facts getting in the way of the easiest opinions, but hell, I fully believe you can cope! :)
 
Is this what the purple board is about?

Where EXACTLY did I bash the purple board?

Come on, Tom. Why are you getting so defensive? So far, you haven't given me any compelling reason to go look. And why do I have to register just to have a look?
 
Bashing the purple board...

Is that a euphemism for something?

So I've gotta ask... Why do you need a "purple" board, when we have the blue board??? You can talk about anything you want here, even bikes, as long as you keep it civil. I don't get why you wouldn't just refer people to this board instead of starting a new one. :dunno:

We didn't need one, we wanted one. Our house, our rules. It's just that simple.

Idle curiosity on my part...what types of rules differences to you intend to implement?

Good Lord Tom, I was just kidding notice my little blue smilie thing. Then read my next post. I hope it does make it. The more ways to get folks involved in aviation the better. I think that was clearly my thoughts on the matter.

BTW I didn't see Greg bashing anything.

From the Blue Board? Nothing significant, if any. From the Red Board? Topics are open to pretty much anything. You won't see a thread deleted because it's non-aviation or it disagrees with AOPA policy (same as here). However, at the same time we won't allow obscene stuff either.

You know, it's funny, we have a rule that says no bashing the Red Board. However, there is no corresponding rule that says no bashing the Blue Board. Guess it's not needed.;)

Agreed. No bashing except for this board and its management.
 
So the board rules are the same.

Some people just want to play cop. The truth of the matter is--playing cop isn't all that fun.
