Why is this forum so dead?

There's stuff from last week still on the front page. We should start recruiting new members!

I'm pretty impressed with the forum's dedication to a 10 year old game.

But then it is summer in the northern hemisphere. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does the majority of his subsimming in the winter.

Subsim has more that 100,000 members, and we get dozens more every day. Right now more than 750 people are reading these forums, but only 100 or so are logged in as "Captains". SH3 is now 10 years old, and people who play it don't always comment. Until some great new sub sim comes along things are likely to continue being slow. It's just the way it is.

The most active forum right now is General Topics.

i think its pretty active , my self, compared to some other games of similar age

Yeah, me too! I think of this place as far from dead.

New threads and topics show up, but it requires patience. Which is something that a U-boat captain needs a lot of!

I myself have moved on to SH5 - mystery of the Crash to Desktop.

I tried to reinstall SH5 on my laptop, but CTD all the way. I'm sich of that pile of ****. Back to SH3, what runs without any problem, even with a bunch of mods.
It the same as FSX and FS9.

Gonna try a new patrol, after absence of a couple of years.
