When its up an running with no glitches a post will be put up, don't worry, we leave no man, woman, child, dog or cat behind.
This thread will still be up and running, so we can still chat to all our friends in other squads and they to us.

Nicely done J4ff...show MOM's still here and kicking butt like never before!!

About the other forum.i don't think a direct link would go down too well.Im sure it could be searchable with the right info.
Just trying to avoid fuel to the fire.

Well there won't be anything to hide from, or to hide from others, but as we will be using for squad wars, the link along with any password will only be given via pm

Ladies and gentlemen of the MOM persuasion,

you have a damn fine squad here, Dogfight wouldn't be Dogfight without the MOM squadron. I hope things work out for you and you continue to be one of the strongest squads in the game.

FlyingMuck, you have some big shoes to fill, best of luck for the future.

If you good folks need a hand with anything, I am sure the community will rally round and give you folks any support you might need.

See you in the skies, folks!

hi MOMs'm here to say that I will leave the MOM for a few reasons I want you to know that I'll always be with you guys you were a good family and will always be! going into [M] isfits not want you to think that I cheated on you guys was not that I will always be available here with you guys! thanks for attention (* Cheetah * 975)

Hey M.O.M.s I haven't been on the forum in a few days and am sorry to see what happened. I always enjoy flying with you guys and hope you come through this as strong as ever.

Pardon me M.O.M.s, just wanted to relay a message to \...GAW.../. Sorry I got booted from that game Funiest thing happened after you shot me with your tank I let out a laugh and because I'm getting over a cold a little lewgie flew out of my mouth and landed on my tablet screen and it started to play havoc with my device, ultimately killing my connection
Was a fun game for me while it lasted, see ya roun'

Quit Bug J4ff. Nice shooting there. Definitely playing single is a dis-advantage but guess you get more planes to shoot down. NVM keep shooting like that don't worry about company. You yourself is good enough to face 7 reds.

To have a "squad forum" besides the df forum isn't something new.
falcon (at least I think) has it and black eagles too (this I know), and I guess they aren't alone.

I believe the "threat" of banning who would use an outside df forum was a thing written in the heat of the moment and not meant that way.
I can be wrong in my assumption here, and if I am I hope that Zup will let me/us know.

And I agree with you J4ff, we do not want nor need anymore fuel on the fire.
We need that fuel in our planes to be able to shoot down all the red ones.
It was some mighty fine stats you put up earlier.

That's funny dude. Np

Just heard what happened to Wig. Man that really stinks. Really hope things work out soon enough.

Congrats on being the new boss Muck. Saw your post on our thread. So I stopped by to say good luck guys. And I also brought cake.



Don't worry about the happy b-day David. He don't need no more cake. He's no mom. Lol

Just wanted to remind everyone that we get to see this again this weekend...

incase anyone wasn't aware.

IT IS A JOKE IT IS A JOKE

DAMN CAN WE LIGHTEN UP AROUND HERE A LITTLE BIT?

“If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.”

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the single candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

So said the Buddha, or so it is said (if Google can be trusted...) No, not the player named Buddha (if there is one), but the actual Buddha, the guy under the lotus tree, or whatever kind of tree it was, etc.

In any event, when the Buddha said what I said he said up there (which as I may have said, I cut and pasted from Google and which by the way is now in the public domain, all rights reserved, patent pending...) he might as well have been saying something about our own original founding father of M.O.M, the great man himself, he who must and should be named, that's right, Mr. Rick Wiggins, aka Wigbomb, aka Jolly Ole Saint Rick, aka Grand Master Wig and the Furious Bomb, and, well, you get the idea...

Why, you may well ask? Meaning, why did the Buddha say those nice things about Rick (or may as well have said, since you may as well have asked)? The answer is so simple as to be plainly self-evident --through the evidence of his absence, which is (unfortunately for this forum and this thread) now all around us-- that it beggars belief if you can't see it. Notwithstanding that the absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence, which it isn't, and which he isn't (absent, that is, not really--as in, he still walks the earth, just as Jesus and the Buddha once did, albeit not all at the same time, although time is relative, or so they do say...)

Now where was I?

Oh yeah, I was trying to explain why the Buddha thought so highly of Rick that he said all those nice things about him way back when (which he really did, if you really think about it, or don't think too much about it and just go with the flow, which the Buddha probably never did say but may as well have).

So, to reiterate, the first nice thing that I said the Buddha said up there about Rick is this: "If anything is worth doing, do it with all your heart.” And here's why it applies to Rick: This squad, the Mean Old Men, and this thread, and a whole lot of people's experience of this game and each other, including friendships made, lost, re-made and re-imagined, simply would not exist if Rick hadn't done what we all know he did, from the get-go, with all his heart, and soul, and creative genius, and kindness, and thoughtfulness, and tireless work, and endless patience, of which he gave freely, to M.O.M's and non-M.O.M's alike. And throughout which (if not because of ), he endured (attracted?), countless travails, including personal attacks on his character and invasions of privacy, and mediated countless disputes, sometimes at great personal expense to his health and well-being.

And why did he do it? It's simple: to Rick, it was worth doing. And so, like the Buddha foretold, Rick did it with all his heart, which I am pretty certain is the only way he coulda, woulda, or otherwise knew how to have done it. And the result was something extraordinary, and profound, and long-lasting (but not forever, except in our hearts). And for that we all (including those with whom Rick may have locked horns over the years) owe him a debt of gratitude, for so enriching this game and our lives.

Which brings me to the other nice thing that I said the Buddha said about Rick, which is this: “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the single candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” I mean, do I even need to explain that? Just think about it. I honestly can't say I've ever met anyone, in the real world or the virtual world, who has so shared his own innate happiness, enthusiasm, intelligence and joy with so many people, with all his heart, and without expecting a thing in return, as Rick has done with all of us. And, like the Buddha said, it has not diminished him in the least, but it has only brightened our lives.

I swear, if I didn't already know better, and I read what I just wrote up there, I might think I was reading about Jesus, fer chrissakes! But, even Jesus must have had limits to his patience, for so it has been said: "Nobody fucks with Jesus."

One can hardly expect more from a mere mortal such as Rick.

So Rick, from the bottom of this fake pope's heart, thank you, man.

It needed to be said.

And I invite anyone else to join in, hopefully with an animated gif or two, like of that guy in the Great Gatsby raising a toast..

(PS: I'm not just saying this so you'll go easy on me in that bloody tank of yours ... )

Those aren't the strippers Jerruh was paying off are they?

Good luck for the squad. I hope everything gets sorted out.

Beautiful sentiment, Bopes. This is intended only for humor and no disrespect. We can all light the world with a piece of ourselves without diminishing ourselves. And now the humor...

Doggy-gutted to read your post.You have been a great comrade And it was a pleasure gaining MORAFdom together.I wish you luck in the game and hope you come back one day soon!!

Simon

Sorry to see you go Johannes. I would have no ill will should you choose to rejoin us. I joined through the nebulous Star Chamber. I have never been privy to their nefarious plotting to world domination. I have had zero input in the policies of MOM. I am really just like a MOM mushroom or MOMshroom, kept in the dark and fed poop!

Of course this is satirical!!! I am sorry to see Johannes and any others go. I gave a thought to it, and even put out a feeler. But, I am here to stay as long as y'all will have me or until the bitter end. I could care less who is in control because I honestly felt like nobody has ever really been in charge!

Muck, I promise to be a good MOM. I will do exactly what you want me to as long as it happens to be what I want to do. I promise to be nice to people I like. I promise to ridicule people I like and don't like. I promise to play the game and try not to suck!

Now, there is some not so Mean, not so Old, perhaps not so Manly MOM out there that knows how to make fricking banners. BANNER ME UP!!!

YOURS TRULY

THE LONG MOM OF THE LAW!
