I first learnt about subsim in 1999 when I started looking for a Subsim after watching Das Boot. I came across CAOTD and SH2 wasnt too far away. Probably found it using copernic. I remember back then subsim and the WPL (Which I think I found first) consisted of very few members, and they all seemed to know each other. I was welcomed quickly. My nickname hasnt changed since I registered though i do remember a time when everyone decided it would be a good idea to reverse their names.
I remember staying up till 4am some mornings playing SH2 and DC thanks to me being in NZ (+12GMT). Coming on yahoo just before I went to school in the morning just as everyone else was getting ready for bed. I'll never forget Frank talking about how he crashed his bike and was trying desperately to save the paint. I remember when vonSpike figured out how to work the asdic properly on DC. When someone invented the BB Melee's. That was the most fun I've ever had playing a game. Ahh the memories.
