This place is HOPPIN' !!!!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Crimeny!!!

I leave the flotilla office for just a few days and return to find myself nearly LOST!!!:huh:

It seems to me that Subsim.com is becoming far more popular (and much busier!) than ever before... Maybe double or triple volume in just two years? :arrgh!:

Very cool I think! :|\\

Congrats to Neal Stevens and Co. :up:

Methinks your Expansion has something to do with it :yep: !

Have got to agree with you there sir i was away for a bit over the last few days and i look at a thread and it seemed as if a year had gone by:doh:
Great work Neal & Co

[Abd_von_Mumit]

One doesn't have to love each and every one of the modifications, but one must love the GWX as a whole. If one doesn't, I order him to duel me [or whatever it's supposed to be said ritually in English] *throwing his gauntlet*. Yes, that's true... Just have a look at "Would you still be playing if not the mods" thread. :)

[Sailor Steve]

Yes the volume has increased dramatically. I get one hour a day at the library to use the computer, and I used to go through every single post on the subsim boards-all of them. Nowadays I barely get through the SH3 board, so I have to skip a lot of threads and just look at the ones that look interesting to me.

I agree, it's all GWX's fault. Thanks a lot, Lehman!:p

[melnibonian]

Yeah it's all GWX's fault. :o We have a lot of more threads, vast amount of interesting topics and loads of new people comming in. :D :D GWX in the fire if you ask me;) :p :p :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

@ Kpt

Now you can see what happens when you leave Subsim alone for too long, don't do it again. :stare:

Besides, with your 'one man army' holding the fort and being too nice & helpful all the time, what can you expect.
Everyone's being too nice to all the n00bs.:rotfl: This must stop! So I'm glad you back & feeling better.:arrgh!:

Well done Subsim, Neal & Team.:up:

LOL et al.

Good to see you've surfaced again KL :up:

[Brag]

The appearance of GWX converted me from lurker to posting nuisance. This was pretty good forum before. (Remember Groucho Marx's quip about clubs that would accept him? ) :rotfl:

Hello.....

Welcome, matey! New kaleuns are always a treat!:up::up:

@ Kpt.Lehmann: Welcome back, mate! Hope your healt is better!:yep::up::up:

[ReallyDedPoet]

A big increase since GWX:up:

I don't regard a great storywriter as a 'posting nuisance' but more a positive injection into the Forum !
Brag, keep those stories coming :up:

Congrats to Neal Stevens and Co. :up:
You will be happy to know since you have been away for a bit, no one complains and cries like children because their beloved subs and crew died after two patrols and the big bad warships are just too hard:cry:. They all have accepted the fact that in all reality it was tough out there and specifically in the later years with radar/fido/sonobouy etc. ALL HAVE BECOME HARDEND KALEUNS WITH BRAVE CREW WHO CAN NOW ELUDE THE DREADED WARSHIPS AND CONDUCT A TONNAGE WAR LIKE MEN!

THERE IS NO CRYING IN WAR!

But hey, Kpt. welcome back:D

[Sailor Steve]

Welcome aboard, theowl. Feel free to take up all the space you want.

[stabiz]

:rotfl:Lehmann will be equally stressed out when he sees the lenght of a brand new thread dedicated to the volume of the forum.

[Wolfie39]

I have read the forums off and on yet still consider myself a newb. Punnishment is expected. :rotfl: Does being "piped aboard" mean being struck with a lead one??? :arrgh!::rotfl:

[Gildor]

I must say that this is the latest date I have survived until in a campaign. Dec 1941. It is going to be challenging in the near future from what i hear.:smug:

[johan_d]

Its just the immersiveness of the game, the suspense etc.
I was assimilated, by a collegue at work, and I personally did it to another.
Resistance was futile.

But more important is this:
This board is like most (not all) fligsim forums. People here and for example at www.avsim.com are polite, patient and helpfull.
I think it has something to do with "being captains all together". Its a sort of honor code, a captain of a ship, or a plane, will never openly attack another captain. Because we are all virtual ''bosses'' or Kaleun's. We do it our way, and learn from each others stories.

FPS guys, are solists, thinking that their attack or approach is the best, and since they respawn within 20 seconds or so, can go all over again untill death.

We on the otherhand have a carreer of years, go over long distances and do our thing. Same for the flightsim guys (I am one of them). It takes tedious preparations to go from a to b as in real life, and Kaleuns between each other know that!. In other words, respect.

Anyone get my drift?

[stabiz]

Yes, I think you are right.

[GT182]

Methinks your Expansion has something to do with it :yep: !

Me thinks the same. :yep:

What's that saying from the movie Field of Dreams? "Build it and they will come." Well, I believe that's what's happened. :D

[Payoff]

I agree. It's very fast paced reading now, jumping from post to post. Over on the Mods Workshop page, a modder is lucky to have his work up for about a day before it slips into the depths. I went back two pages and found posts I had'nt seen yet. Hopefully this will translate into increased sales for SHIV and inspire developers to continue to improve on this little niche we call the sub sim. :sunny:

This place is so busy that some threads need bumped just to get an answer b4 it disappears to page 2. :ping: :roll:

Just remember we were all newbs once. :know:

I think Johan here hit the nail on the head. Sure GW and GWX have played a part... but I think that's only scratching the surface. I think lots of things contributed to the big waves happening here.

It is also wort mentioning how the correspondance between ATC and pilots are on IE the vatsim servers. Those time i have flown there, the ATC are always mature & helpful. But i really think the Subsim forums are the best i have ever seen, concerning helpfullness & maturity.

Can't argue with that :nope:

Hell!!...some of the sites I visit on occasion (mIRC and private/invite only forums) it's almost 'custom and practice' to receive some form of abuse or other :lol:

[melnibonian]

I think the fact that most people in this forum are polite and helpfull has to do with the fact that most of us are not 15. If you see the kind of stuff people tell to each other in forums where loads of kids go (like Guild Wars etc) you will be stuned. That's why I like it here. We're all adults and we behave. Ocasionally we have our fights but deep inside there is a deep level of trust and respect. That's why I'm still around. If I want abuse and foul language I can have it all at work (within reason);) :D :D

[Respenus]

I agree that this forums are the most friendly ones around. From all the forums I've been to (not many, but still...) I have only seen one more forum similar to this one, although there are always some young kids who think they know everything. Even kids here know they have to behave or Sailor Steve will be in their closet after dark :up:

[Tigrone]

SH4's been officially posted on Ubisoft's site for a 16 March 2007 release. SH4 could bring a lot of new people to SH3+GWX, as well. The 2 games really compliment one another.

Very cool I think! :|\\

Congrats to Neal Stevens and Co. :up:

Welcome back Dowly...hows life in the army?
The usual motley crew can still be found lurking in TS :arrgh!:

Your right about the sudden upsurge in activity here...I put it down mainly to the GWX Syndrome (incureable) :rock:

Pop in on TS soon as you can mate :up:

cya dafta

[Venatore]

Good to have you back Dowley.
I'm off to instruct Army officers for the whole of Febuary, I dread just how much I'm going to miss the forum. :shifty:

[Dowly]

The army is over for me... AGAIN! My left knee gave up the same way it gave up last year. So, the only way for me to serve in finnish army is if Finland is in the state of war.

Tho, I got to see some nice new mortars we have. ;)

[Jimbuna]

Good man....you stick to subs ;)

[Dowly]

Good man....you stick to subs ;)

:rotfl:

Will do, mate. Will do... :up:

[Jimbuna]

I cya on TS...coming over now :cool:

[melnibonian]

Welcome back Dowly

I'm sorry to hear about your knee but I guess it gives you more time to play around with GWX;)

Glad to see you back:up:

[mr chris]

Welcome back mate:up:
Sorry to hear about your knee mate. I hope it gets better soon.
While you have been away i have taken my first forry into SH3 VIDS. Thanks to the help of Stabiz and Seth.

[bookworm_020]

I'm glad to see that others are getting into this forum. GWX has helped, but so have all the mods. This has made the game better and more enjoyable (except when under a depth charge attack from half the Royal Navy!)

Sorry to hear about your knee, Dowly! At least you can keep in contact with us alot more! I have found your work to be excellent! Sank your lightship off Dublin the other night in GWX! A pleasure!

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Maby its becuase of the recient problems in UBI? :hmm:

[_Seth_]

Dowly mate, welcome back!:up::up::up: Sorry about your knee, but the Silent Hunter uboatfleet can always use good men with bad knees (if you like, i could drive my car up to the border and start a war with Finland, so you could see some action..:rotfl:)! BTW; We have taken care of your son while you were away, now he's dying to see you...:lol:

[Deep-Six]

Yes, I too have seen the up surge. I leave for a few days poof, I have to read through more posts.:)
