I was more of a lurker on the old FC site, it didnt seem very people friendly!
Heard that FC was being relaunched by Lee(saved!) and applied to be part of the team.
I think we are a lot more enthusiast friendly than some, well thats my opinion anyway!

Was on the old forum and heard about it from the chaps on the fence. Then I started meeting chaps from south of the border and they seemed almost human... Been here ever since

Came across the site whilst 'googling' for info on Lyneham Families Day. 'Lurked' for a short while and thought it'd be rude not to sign up. Got to be one of,if not the best,site's out there for info and the photography is cracking!! well done one and all!

I seem to remember that it was something on the old Airscene site that prompted me to check-out FC. I do remember seeing references to UKAR for a long time and assuming (from the title) that their site was just about air shows and that FC was presumably about fighter operations! Doh!
Think the basic point here is that - as has been said - FC will only grow and improve if more people use it. The only reliable way to get more people is by word of mouth or (perhaps more importantly) mentioning the site to everyone else when you post on any other site. It doesn't mean that we have to get into the business of "poaching" people from anywhere else as of course we're all perfectly capable of using more than one site. It's just a case of remembering to mention FC when you can I guess.
I think FC has great merit. It's a good forum on which to exchange information and comments and it is suitably friendly and light-hearted when necessary, without drifting so far off into the realms of chatter that we lose track of the subject. I hope the site will prosper and continue in the same style, but my experience of these sites is that they tend to suffer from self-fulfilling depressions if people stop using them. It's important that the number of users stays high (and preferably gets higher) in order to avoid that.

I think I read about it elsewhere (UKAR?) joined the old site but was pretty inactive. Then joined the new incarnation earlier this year.

I googled about fast jets passing over my house and FC was the very first hit for my query
......which was nice :-)
I was looking at some of the really excellent photos that have been posted here. It's depressing, really, but at least someone was kind enough to start a "Worst photo" thread.

Read about the site on another forum. This is a wonderful resource of a site, and great photographs to view.

I saw many references to Fighter Control on other forums so watched for a while first. It seems much more active than other sites so decided to give it ago.
Cheers

It's that long ago I can't remember, but most likely it came up in a Google search for something else.
Still one of the best on the web. Keep up the good work.

Was on the old site, can't honestly remember how I found that but pretty sure someone told me. As the "politics" took over I awaited an outcome, and here it is! And here WE are!
