@Dave great job! I am member since may 2012 only a few weeks after you created this site.... more than 4 years and still addicted to this game and ofcourse to this fantastic site
Yes, I was talking about Facebook community and this Forum.I think we we're getting our terminology muddled. Although this is a forum, I still refer to it as a community, which I believe it is.
I agree the Airport City facebook page isn't a great place for people to trade items, but many people still try and do just that.
I know Game Insight have their own forum, but from my perspective its awful. > http://airportcityhd.gi-center.com/forum/rubric/9
The trading thread has over 45,000 posts, which is very off putting and would be impossible to keep track of. Also the trading threads, launch threads are all contained in the "Off-Topic" section of their forum, which they describe as "Free Space for Off-Topic Communication" - How trading and launching on an official Airport City forum is off topic stumps me!
However, I can see why people get confused thinking this is the official site after seeing the official one.

Thanks to you all Admins and ModeratorsI thought I'd better post this to clear up a lot of confusion about this forum and its ownership.
AirportCityGame.com (This forum) is owned by myself. Neither the forum or myself have any connection to GameInsight or Road404. The only communication this forum has received from either company is from Ivan (Free2Play) who is the lead developer of Airport City.
The forum was started back in April 2012 shortly after the game was released. I was playing through the game and realised I needed friends to send me items to complete buildings. I searched online and found nothing except the official Facebook page which was full of people in the same position as myself.
I then decided to set up a forum for people like myself that wished to trade items with each other and the forum just grew from there.
Although the forum is owned by myself, we have a great team of administrators and moderators on the forum who help keep the site running smoothly.
The forum is funded from my own pocket, assisted by the donations made and also the ad's we have displayed to non VIP Flyers.
Hope that helps to clear up any confusion, as i've noticed recently quite a few people were under the impression this was a GameInsight/Road 404 official forum.
Go on then!Yikes! That G! forum is atrocious. Somebody should go tell those poor people there's a better way!!
So a facebook announcement post is a community but a forum isnt?
Seriously...

Dave,I would disagree. When you start playing the game is quite simple, which is the idea to get you drawn into playing.
As you progress, it would be virtually impossible to play without either having friends send you items or spending vast amounts of money completing buildings/quests etc.
Without having a community available to easily trade I would have given up playing about 4 years ago. In fact, I would hazard a guess most people on here would.
Yup, February 2015
