@Pavlin
I am on your side and not on your side here, simultaneously, depending on what facet of the problem we talk about
1. I fully agree with you, that Multiplayer Events in FGMP servers are scarce these days, and it will be nice to have more
2. I fully agree with you that FGMP events that I'll be happy and looking forward to join will be host in FGMP servers. Not on VATSIM
but,
3. I do not agree (also fully-not) that SM was trying to take over the topic. In fact there is no "topic ownership" on this forum.
A topic is a conversation, and it will drift towards where people involved decide to let it go. Telling you to host a VATSIM event, or to move a FGMP server event to VATSIM is not a take over. In fact, he can only suggest this to you, but he won't be able to force you to do so. So ultimately it has always been your choice.
4. Making this thread a flame-fest has been something that you guys had chosen yourselves, including you, @Pavlin. So, I do not agree (also fully-not) that you are sole victim here.
So,
ultimately and more importantly,if you wish to host not-VATSIM events we will all be ok with that too. May SM want you to host them on VATSIM? Maybe. Yes, if he plans to attend. Irrelevant for him if he does not plan to attend. May IH-COL want you to host them on VATSIM? Certainly not. If you do host them on VATSIM, IH-COL will not be willing and/or able to attend.
So that's that.
Your choice. If you are making events, you get to choose where they'll be played. Getting emotional and/or aggresive, or reactionary about this will not help your event, because possible event attendees may loose interest of sharing your company.
That's how I see it.
5. About language? In this forum use of any language is acceptable. Keep in mind we are not getting your message. But I'm sure you know that.
