Airliners.net

The photos are great to look at and there's good information to be had.

The forums are another story. They've long been dominated by pro- Continental Airlines posters and moderators and any sort of criticism of CO in particular will be met with deleted posts or warnings by some mods such as atcundevil who is a CO fan who will accuse you of breaking rules, even if your posts do not break any posted rules. That is abuse of power and limiting freedom of speech. Your posts will be flagged for any criticism of Continental Airlines and I have no doubt there are paid employees there to help shape a narrative and curtail any sort of dissenting opinions that don't frame the narrative they want.

I have been viewing airliners.net since 1999 when I was still a kid. The last time I thought the site was really good was around 2004. I don't spend much time on the site anymore because I think it looks too cluttered the quality of the pictures and the variety have pictures have diminished, and the search function is just downright terrible. These days if I make a search for an specific aircraft, from a specific time, at a specific airport I just get no hits when I was mysteriously getting many hits for the same searches during the early years of the site.

It's still a great site but only a shell of what it once was. I never waste my time on the forums so I can't comment on that.

Szabo Gabor is a bully and will deliberately block you from the website. Change your password and keep deleting any photos you have uploaded for any minor issue that happened a long time ago. He will continue to bully you and make life difficult for you until you leave. The website has gone to the dogs and I will be going elsewhere. Avoid at all costs.

I have uploading photos on Airliners.net since 2018 with a total of 172 photos accepted and just previously I have getting a string of rejections from photo along with harsh emails from one of their head screeners and i don't appreciate it at all.

My posts just get deleted for no apparent reason. I try to ask why, and the messaging portal doesn't work. Used to a great site, now its just BS. Can't see why anybody goes there anymore.

This site was amazing back in 1999-the early 2000's. Ever since they sold the company, the ads and the overall layout have made this site a total pain to use. The search function is a total nuisance. I don't even think the new search feature pulls up the rights hits. I used to visit this site and relive some memories from years gone by but it has become such a pain to use that I actually stopped visiting the site.

Sometime you just have to leave a good thing alone.
