A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Now I know that some forum members here find it hard to stay within the constraints of the forum rules, so here's a good place for simmers.
FS-FBO. is a blog site just for simmers. Get stuck in. Let off some steam. Go on, you know you want to

I tried joining it this morning when I saw it in another forum, but the regions are all messed up for NZ, and I couldn't get through the sign up process :P

Oh, yes, I should have mentioned that. You really need to enter another country -- I chose Tonga, I think -- then you can change it back to the correct location in your preferences.

I didn't give any thought to the age requirements -- I do notice though that most members of the site are older than me, which is quite old, really.

I know the age restiction varies in every country. It might be a good idea to find out where the site is from before sending nasty emails.

Plus, if that doesn't work, you can always lie. You can't be too far off 14

Well I found a "contact" link, and sent them a message outlineing my unsatisfaction of the age restriction. yes it was quite lengthy, but I remind to the point and polite.

With in a few minutes I recieved an email from saying that it was just a defualt setting that they hadn't changed yet, adn I was welcome to join.

So you can check out my little blog there, I need some "friends" on there :D
