Default Fanboys vs detractors

People are always hinting that the detractors in this forum are in the minority, so lets put it to the test:
  • fanboys
  • detractors

Please guys this is just for fun, no insults and other fun stuff we normally get up too
One plus with this poll is I made the results open so you can see who voted for what and adjust your ignore list accordingly
Soon all people will think just like you, cool hey

Then you asked the wrong question the question should have been what are you a fanboy or a distractor not who is in the majority

You beat me to it!

However I also agree with Furbsy at the mo.

Big Fan but slowly and surely getting as miffed as I was at release. If not more so.

No lets keep it simple, a hard choice indeed to make but deep down in your heart you know, are you one of the naysayers or not. It will make the ignore list so easy and bring harmony to the world

Not really. lol All this poll would indicate is whether the person voting feels there are more fanboys or detractors on the forum.... not whether they are a fanboy or a detractor.

I voted "detractors" as I feel there are far more of them on here than "Fanboys". By the same token, I think there are far, far more "Let's wait and see what happens but, personally, I really enjoy this game" types such as myself but the option wasn't there. Remember the title of this poll was "Which are the majority, fanboys or detractors?" and, from such a narrow sample choice...sure! The "detractors"are in the majority.... just not THE majority.

I started this CLOD adventure as a fanboy. I absolutely loved the extremely well done lighting, collors (except the colors of certain field textures), cockpits, water and reflection. The light interacted very well with the environment and created the most natural lighting engine I have seen in any flight sim. Oleg was a proffesional photographer and understand lighting. That's why the game created such nice natural lighting, reflections and colors.
This and the cockpits were the best parts of the sim.
The last patch absolutely murdered all that beauty and turned the game into a very forgetable murky grey mess. This last patch also introduced ctd's for the first time for me.

I'm a detractor now and it's going to take some serious changes in how the game looks to make me love this game again...............

............that or a flyable IAR-80/81 for BOM.

Well, many of us are in between, so that really should be in the poll. Maybe two new mid alternatives like "Glass half full", "Glass half empty". I would have voted for "Glass half full" in that case,but had to go for fanboy now even though it felt no good. A fanboy in my eyes is a non thinking person that behaves like a 14 year old Nirvana fan: "All Curt did was perfect, and anyone that does not understand that is a moron... "
