kitten40 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I'm curious. Lately, I've been looking into the various squadrons and I'm left wondering.. Are there any out there that are recruiting that DON'T have some sort of mandatory social media requirements? Just curious ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCaboose Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 What do you define as social media? Discord use? Joining a squadron is a social activity, so having some sort of social interaction comes with the territory. 476th vFG Website, 476th vFG Discord, 476th vFG Pipeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten40 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Discord for sure does seem to be among the most used method I've seen here, and I'm not against its use. I'm just old school I guess and prefer to visit an actual website to learn more about the possible squadron I might be interested in. (And I'm also from the Teamspeak era, for that matter ). It just seems easier to me that way, rather than joining discord for a squadron, only to realize it probably wouldn't be a good fit. Good example is your sig. I saw your website link and went to it immediately. Just interesting to see exactly how much things have changed over the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volator Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I hear you, but: Setting up websites takes quite some effort and time. I'd rather spend that time flying the sim. 1 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just interesting to see exactly how much things have changed over the years Unfortunatly, most of the groups don't have webpages due to the amount of work to create and maintain it. If you are trying to get into a group, you will need to use Discord and/or SRS for ingame comms. And if you join a discord and you dont like the group, just let them know it just isnt working out and leave the server.

Just interesting to see exactly how much things have changed over the years Squadrons have various resources and despite the desire for a website, we don't have someone to setup it up. Finding the right squadron for you is key, but I would not limit to just TeamSpeak and website. I know many high quality squadrons that use Discord and have no website. I am with you thought, the transition to Discord took me a moment. Edited November 2, 2023 by CaliJoshua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
