Hello all

My name is Nicole, long long time lurker, finally trying to make the plunge into this forum.

I usually hate forums with a passion, but from my long time lurking days I know this forum can be very nice to hang out on and it's always nice to meet people with similar interests as myself.

And the question I get asked alot by friends or when I tell people what my hobbies are in which I reply with "submarines, anything navy or WWII" they look at me like.. wait..but..you're a girl right? don't you like shopping?

Well sure I do :P
But I grew up with ships and talk about the navy and such.
My family is kind of a navy fairing family you could say, I was raised on ships, so it kinda stuck I guess.

That's my backstory anway, I wanted to tell a little bit about myself since I see alot of "hi im new" and that's the end of it posts.
Not that there's anything wrong with that ofcourse, just saying :P

I am 23 years old, played SH III until SHIV came out, which was a while ago, been playing it on and off since then, I also have SH V, which I hate with a passion, mostly because of the many many changes to the SHIV format which I am so familiar with and feels just right to me.

I don't know anything else to say really, Looking forward to making some friends here ofcourse if you have any questions, just let me know.

I'll be happy to answer them

Nicole..

Welcome to Subsim Nicole!

Glad to have you aboard!

Hello Nicole, welcome to Subsim,

we're all friends here, hope you stick around. I love SHIII, I have IV and V, I don't play V, too many problems, however the modders have done wonders, you might want to give it another go!

WELCOME ABOARD!

Since you've been lurking you probably know that you're not alone in the female member department. As for SH5, there are mods which recreate the SH3 and SH4 interfaces, and the SH5 would is actually looking very bright.

Also, don't forget to PM Neal Stevens or email him at subsim@subsim.com. Female members get custom avatars for free, whereas we lesser mortals have to pay for them (donate, actually, but it all feels the same).

I feel your pain.

Welcome aboard!

This is indeed a great place and you will find that there is a minimum (actually more of a welcome absence) of the whole tedious "OMG THERE'S A GRRRRL ON MY INTERNETZ" business.

Aye....one of the best lessons I taught my son and daughter years back....

"Now watch Dad kids"....signed in as afemale then all the unwarranted crap would be posted.

"Now that kids is why you don't use chat forums or believe what people claim themselves to be"

They are 18 and 22 years of age now and still remind me of that early internet lesson from time to time
