Triggerhappy69 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I have to share this with you all..! We're all going on and on about us being a "community".. And being slightly in love with words I have pondered over this. Not quite knowing what it takes to justifiably call ourself by a name as grand as this.? I thought a community would have to have some kind of social empathy. And since we are all more or less "incognito" I really didn't expect this here.. And then DCS released the Russian version of Blackshark, and so many of us got thrown into an involuntary crash-course in Cyrillic (or got really good at Babelfishing:helpsmilie:).. Yours truly not excluded off course..! After my gazzilionth try at accuiring some BMZ's or DMZ's or whatever kids call'em these days, I was on the brink of resignation. So I vented myself on under the banner of "buying the Russian version"... A thread that actually should promtly be renamed "NOT being able to buy the Russian version"! Since that after all is what it's mainly about? And to my astonishment I got a responce from a fellow member of our community saying that he would go out (.. and we're talking RL out here.. Into the rain and icy winds..) and buy for me a voucher so I to could download Blackshark..? AND HE DID IT TO..! I got the voucher code the very next day.. Just as he had said..!:thumbup: "Well what's so big about that?" you might ask yourself..? The thing is that no one would have thought any less of anyone who didn't do it.. And we shouldn't either..! But some members of this community stand out from the crowd as shining examples and actually go the extra mile for a fellow member of the Blackshark Fan Club.. And when it happens I feel a strong urge to tell everyone that there is no need for worries.. We MUST BE a community..?! Because we're actually looking out for each others interest as best as we can! And by golly that makes me D..MN proud of us..! So 159th_Viper... Stand up and take a bow.. 'Cause from here on you are my living proof of the fact that allthough we are masked behind nicknames and come from an abundance of social, ethnic or national backgrounds. We actually look out for eachother..! I can never give you enough cred mate..! Thank you.. .. just had to share it with the rest of you.. 4 "But (504)Brewber said they were'nt friendly.. So I took'em out.!" [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
crazysundog Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 HereHere!! A very similar thing happened to me, only it was a paypal transaction, not a voucher... Many thanks to MultiViper, if it wasnt for him I would not be flying *ahem* crashing the Ka50 in many different ways!!!

Prophet Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Even though it is frustrating for all of us, it is a testament to good this community is and how much people are willing to help each other out. Repent has helped me and others, so my hats off to him. Now if the 159th would put up a real mission :D

504Goon Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 It's great to have such generous people in the community! As i can sense that the point of this thread is to thank other community members for their assistence, so my big thanks goes to this fine gentleman that assisted me not once, but twice when i ran into trouble with all these transactions.. And that man goes under the name of Crazysundog. Thank you, i owe you one! 504th CO http://www.vvs504.co.uk

Cdr.Instigator Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I know what you mean Trigger. Viper is one of the best in our community. He knows that, what goes around comes around or Pay it forward. I have helped a fellow member before in such a manner. I kid from Brazil I met at another forum pm'ed me with a question about Joystick prices in the states. I gave Him 3 different prices, depending of what he needed. He chose the mid price one, but said that with the shipping cost would end up being around a 2 week pay period.. so, He would have to wait on that. Gullible or not.. I volunteered to buy and send Him the Joystick at no cost whatsoever.. Needless to say He was ecstatic.. Christmas had arrived half a year early for the guy.. He was just as happy as you are and it gave me a good feeling knowing I had helped and made a friend out of a stranger half way around the world.. My wife wasn't so impressed !!! 1
