Hi everyone. Allow me to introduce myself.

I'm New York Jet$ fan, but you can just call me Nick. I've known about Dogfight for the past 5 years now, but unfortunately I can't say that's how long I've been playing the game. Initially I played quite often, and was quick to become a member on the forum. I also became part of a squadron (although I don't remember much about joining it, which makes it look as though it was all done too quickly on my part without much thought given to the matter). I was a mere month out of 8th grade at the time (June 2012), with my first year of high school fast approaching at the end of the summer. My immature and childish middle school personality certainly carried over onto the forum (skim through my only posts and you can see for yourself lol) and as a result I gave off the wrong first impression (at least that's what it looks like to me now). Once I started high school, I gradually (perhaps even drastically) began to become distanced from Dogfight, and by the summer of 2013 I had essentially stopped playing. The app was deleted from my phone and my forum account sat derelict in its current state until I just logged back in a few days ago.

Keeping in mind that I consider my freshman year of high school the best year of my high school experience and maybe one of the best of my life thus far, I want to relive as many moments/memories from that period of my life as I can (sounds weird, but it's the kind of person I am). Dogfight, of course, was one of those memories, so I decided to get back into the game - for real this time. As I write this 5 years after first getting into this game, I am as inexperienced and unknowledgeable about the game and the forum as I was back then. I'm the same rookie today as I was 5 years ago. The only thing that's changed is my age and maturity. However, the forum still feels as familiar to me as it did when I was last actively on it. I'm here now to start over with a fresh and clean slate; to start anew. I'm looking to make some friends right now and I'm open to anyone who wants to be one . Anyone is welcome to help me get integrated into this forum and make it feel like a second family for me, because I know this is a good community and I would love to be involved! (I also don't quite know where to start lol)

I'm sure there's many things I left out, but I'm not good when it comes to writing long, detailed monologues (), so for now this is it.

Regards,
Nick

Neat story Nick. Welcome back to dog fight and the forum. In my opinion there is nothing at all wrong with being a bit nostalgic and reliving some fond memories.

welcome back to the game ! its a bit different since the original DF but still fun for the most . I hope you have fun flying and killing reds and enjoying all the different personalities glad to see you about and hope to see you in the skies.

Welcome Back! Just remember that the most important part of this game is........ to have FUN!!! If you're not having fun then you're doing it wrong lol!

Thanks guys. It's definitely good to be back . Don't worry I'm having fun in the skies. May be dying more than I am shooting down the enemy, but it's a quirky little game that's always been fun to play. This time around I'm really eager to be involved in the forums, but I just don't know where to start. Any suggestions? Any threads I ought to follow and/or stay on top of or read up on? Really just want to be involved and meet some people, make some friends.

P.S.: I'd give you thank yous but it's been saying I'm banned and have no access to that function (don't know why)

welcome back the banned thing is a forum provider glitch zup is waiting for kunena to come up with a fix as he doesn't write the forum website he cant fix it himself

Poke around at the various active threads and you will figure out which ones you like reading and which ones are nonsense. I believe the forum activity is down a bit from days gone by likely due to lots of the big squads having outside chat areas, like discord, palgrino, etc. where they can chat and not have to edit the content.

Making friends via the forum is actually pretty easy and from what I can see you are well on your way.

Well I'm trying lol. Also good point. The squadron I'm technically in has been quiet it seems for quite some time now, so if I don't hear from them soon I may start shopping for a new squad to join to make some friends.
