OT: How did you guys get to be here?

[stabiz]

Its so long ago now, I really cant remember, but I think I was googling for mods, and came to the subsim frontpage. In there I found tons of starnge modifivcations that seemed way to complicated for me, but somehow I started trying some of them out.

After a long period of not playing, I saw a pic from The Grey Wolves at a Norwegian gamer site, and that was it. Since then I have been tormenting you.


So, what about the rest of you?

[bigboywooly]

Pretty similar really

Gave up the stock game ages ago after a very short time of playing
Was actually looking for RTW mods whem blundered into here
Been stuck here ever since

Oh if only I had looked at the next link instead :rotfl:

[fredbass]

Occasionally I'll look thru the gaming reviews to see whats out there when I'm looking for something different and new. About a year ago I read the reviews for SH3 which seemed pretty good and from there I ended up coming here to get some further info about it. I eventually became hooked and have been here ever since. :up:

[AVGWarhawk]

Same as Bigboy. Played the vanilla version. Got bored with it. Had seen mods here but they were just a all over the place and did not work well together. I went on to play IL2. I came back to SH3 because it has been about a year. Dropped by here and had seen GW 1.1. THE SUPER MOD! ONE STOP SHOPPING MOD MOD OF ALL MODS!!!!!! After reading what it offered and was sporting a major woodie over it, dropped it in and have not left since. GWX has made it all that much better. My X52 joystick is growing weeds;)

[LZ_Baker]

I came across this site back when I first got SH2. I downloaded some mods off it but never bothered to join or even look at the forum. When I saw that SH3 was coming back out, I searched around for more information and rediscovered this site. Knowing it was pretty cool from SH2, I joined the forum and have been visiting here on and off ever since.

[SubConscious]

I stumbled across this site before I played SH3. In fact, I had just ordered it from Amazon and decided to go out looking for updates, new campaigns, and tweaks. This site has been fantastic - a wonderful resource of historical and game information, as well as a user group second to none in terms of helpfulness.

Thank you all for making SubSim what it is - an outstanding place to learn, play, share, and laugh.

[Austig]

i was directed here by someone very helpful on the SHIII forum on Gamespot.... i really enjoy lerking around on here reading the wealth of information :rock:

[_Seth_]

I have known about Subsim for a while, but didnt start "using" it until i bought SHIII.. Was a "mod lurker", as the most of you..:yep::up:

[AG124]

Shortly after buying SHIII, I decided to search the internet to see if there were any mods I could find to enhance it, as I had done earlier with Star Trek Armada II (I was particularly interested in new ships, and especially new merchants). After finding this site, I eventually began building ships instead and am now more interested in modding than in playing. Ironically, I didn't really even expect to find any mods at all for the game, let alone getting involved in modding myself.:doh:

Same thing just that I never post anything till I heard about GWX and since my comp brok down once a while I cant use my comp so I have to use my bro's comp to look in the forums.

[Jimbuna]

A bit like Seth...been playin most of the sub sims for what feels like an eternity...knew about this sight but never became 'active' till I got SH3. :arrgh!:

Think your sig looks great Seth :up:

[Von Hinten]

I honestly don't remember when exactly I stumbled onto this site. When I got SHIII it was (and still is) my first serious submarine sim and if I recall correctly I was looking for updates for the Improved U-Boat mod back then.

What I do remember is that from the very beginning of me being here I felt right at home, not in the least bit because of the very warm and friendly atmosphere over here within these forums. That's something special and it's something I had not seen before or since on any major forum I visit.

You guys are sweet! :arrgh!:

[stabiz]

Yeah, I think its fairly okay to state that sub-simmers are more likeable than other gamers. :D

[azn_132]

Unlike COD2 or BF2 because people keep tautin other people like cussin one another.

[Morts]

i think i was looking through gamespot for mods to SH3
and somehow found subsim

[Pumbaa]

after reading the POS manual that came with the game I went looking for more info and found you guys

[Gezoes]

Looking for mods and via the official forums. Much more traffic here though, lurking for six months or so, but I signed up eventually.

[hyperion2206]

I was looking for mods (Dangerous Waters), found some at SubGuru.com and there I found a link to subsim.

[Sailor Steve]

Is this the only board anyone reads anymore?
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=93820

[stabiz]

No, but general topics is a minefield. Reading there gives me a headache.

Sorry, though, its just that the guys in here are the ones we all "know", so I thought it would be interesting.

[Respenus]

I had SH3 bought as soon as it got out, but then I lost the DVD (you know, you lend it and it never comes back). I managed to play without my DVD (I'm not to proud at myself for doing that). I did around for SH3 mods, but the ones I found were weak and required a new install.

THen I posted on the FileFront forums that I wanted to know how to make new subs for SH3. They sent me to the main site, which showed me the way to the forums and I have been posting since (I have been kindda inactive for a while, still having GWX Beta installed). I then bought a new SH3 game and stilled GW 1.1a.

[Boris]

The same reason I join any forum, I have a problem and need answers. I got myself in way too deep on subsim and become a modder, lol.

[Corsair]

I bought SH3 a few months after its release, and came to Subsim.com first to look for mods. I played Rub for a long time, then had a long pause spending more time on flight sims.
I came back around here in September, discovered NYGM, started playing again , lurking on the forum and jumped in...

@respenus :

"I had SH3 bought as soon as it got out, but then I lost the DVD (you know, you lend it and it never comes back). I managed to play without my DVD (I'm not to proud at myself for doing that)."
As long as you've bought the game, nothing to be ashamed of imho. I bought all the games I use, but the CDs and DVDs are carefully stored and never used after install...

[Biggles]

Just luck I guess.:)

[darius359au]

Got the game about 5 months ago , started playing vanilla version but after a week or so started wanting to mod things , saw the ad for seawolves that used to be in gameshadow , did some reseach and found out about all the stuff with X-1 etc and about GW 1.1 , thought why pay for something that it looks like i can get for free? , so joined to get a faster d/l of gw and been here since :D

[dean_acheson]

I came here in 01 looking for news about SH2. :)

[Iron Budokan]

I came across this sight through the UBI SHIII forum.

[Chaotic42]

I was looking for information on Silent Hunter. I thought I was the only person who still liked sub games.

I lurked for a while before creating my account. I don't post much, but I read quite a bit.

[Deep-Six]

I just stumbled onto this forum by accident.:yep:

[Enchanter]

I had been pottering around with the vanilla version for a while, but only joined up recently when I started having a few questions, and wanted a more intense gameplay. I immediately felt welcome in the forum, none of the bad etiquette of other places. Since then, I've been a busy 'ol Kaleun. I spend more time here than in my sub! Can't be too healthy, but hey, chicks dig it! :cool:

[Albrecht Von Hesse]

I'd been playing the stock game for several months, and had a question or three about weird things going on, so I'd logged onto Ubisoft and created an account in order to access the forums.

Once there I discovered *gasp!* this weird thing called 'mods'. How extraordinary!

After a while of experimenting with the minor ones, I decided that, having dipped my toes into the waters now, I'd check into the bigger ones. The one in particular I started with was RUb. I'm not sure exactly how I would up here, but it was a result of back-tracking trying to find where to get the files, etc.

Once here, I was amazed and delighted at the forum, and found it just as interesting to visit and lurk (and later on, participate) as it was actually playing SHIII.

[fabel]

I came here, looking for downloads for silent hunter 3. Great website, great forum.:smug:
