Am I the only one that feels a little ripped that they combined all the, what I would call, the Align based helicopters it to class sized sub forums? I thought that the brand sub forums was the better way to go, it was easy to find what you were looking for, yet you still could get input from people from outside the brand user group. Now with the size sub forum setup you will have to wade through everything else to find something on a Chaos helicopter of a certain size. I can understand why they made the switch, its easier for the people that run Helifreak to actually run it, fewer sub forums= less upkeep. I am sure there are a lot of people from the other manufacture sub forums that are a little disappointed that they lost they little piece of Helifreak and got lumped in with everyone else. All the little guys are going to get burried by waves of Trex posts Good thing we have this place too

Yes sgmason you are not the only one. I saw that yesterday too and think it is too cluttered now to navigate through. The sub-forums are the way to go as you can get specific information on a certain brand.

I can just imagine how cluttered the 450 class forum looks like without the brand divisions

George it sucks that Will had to combine the forums over there. But with the Align lawyers trying to strong arm him, I applaud his method of removing the lawyers complaints...
Why are people posting clone questions in the Align forums?
Now Align doesn't have any forums. Oh yeah, thanks Align for helping to give RCA more visibility to the forum members on HF!

What where the lawyers complaining about? That there was an Align specific sub forum? That makes no sense to me. I honestly hope that I never do understand what these sorts of complaints are about because that would mean I have lost my mind. To me it looked like the Align sub forum was the most active one there and that did nothing but bring Align to the forefront of the public knowledge. Sounds like Align are shooting themselves in the foot right now, but I don't know the full story.

I understand some of what rovpilot is talking about but what I don't understand is if you read the small descriptions under each size class heli, it includes brands that has nothing to do with an Align variant....yes I said "variant" and not "clone" (hate that word). For example: Here is what is under "600 size helis"....
600 Class Electric Helicopters manufactured by Align, Tarot, SYMA, Airhog, Chaos, HK and similar
So tell me, what does "Airhog" or "Syma" has to do with being in this category?
I tell you what guys, YES...its screwed up that this happen to our Chaos sub-forum over at HF...reason being that it's now harder to look up a specific thing on there but for the greater good of RCA and the Chaos brand this is what I am suggesting. Whenever possible and I don't want to make this into a job for anyone by no means but when you're on there try and respond to any of the "Chaos" specific threads because everytime you add a comment or reply to a post, the thread gets to be put up at the very top of that category. By doing this, the Chaos threads will always be near the beginning of each topics.

So rovpilot, now align has strong armed helifreak, I imagine the rest will be on their list as well. I guess I have mixed reviews as I fly different brands. Seems to me will be harder to navigate around. Will be good for RCA no doubt.

Sadly that is what it came down to... Lawyers trying strong arm games with Will and the HF forum.
It backfired.
Essentially they wanted to remove all mention of clones from "Their" forums. What Will did was took away the Align forums. Now Align can't complain about the clones being in the Align forums.
Now that there are no Align forums... They have no grounds to complain about the clones being mentioned.

I think the Syma and Air Hogs bit is funny! Will made sure that everyone was included... LOL

Yes I did get a laugh out of that as well seeing air hogs. Guess we will see in the future how it goes.
