I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole..... :shifty:.... for real though, once Iget a computer that can handle it I will be getting Sh5. Im in firm belief with time Sh5 will surpass Sh3 by leaps and bounds.. now if we only could get our hands on the SDK :)

Congrats to the winners.

[TLAM Strike]

Hahhahahahhaa!!!

I'm slighty better than the rest of you!!




JK

:O:

[Herr-Berbunch]

The LolBoot Thread - goes to Frau and TLAM

Technically you're only half as slightly better, sharing the other half of slightly betterness with Frau, and I demand your badges be reduced to show such. :stare:

[TarJak]

Congratulations all. Well done.:woot: Nice badgers.

[Takeda Shingen]

Congrats, guys. :yeah:

[Jimbuna]

Congratulations to all the winners....there were quite a few close run votes and this just adds testimony to the fact this is such an awesome community :sunny:

[Fubar2Niner]

Congratulations to all the worthy winners. I salute you all Kaleuns :salute:

privateer (jeff if I may) your particular award, reduced me to tears, call me an ol' fart but mate I'm moved. Hats off and Hussar Kaleun. It's only here you'd find such folk. I gotta bugger off before I choke on me tears.

Respectfully.

Fubar2Niner

[Madox58]

All I can say is, the post won the award, not me.
But I'm honored to carry the badge for the post and for the SubSim Community.
:salute:

[frau kaleun]

Technically you're only half as slightly better, sharing the other half of slightly betterness with Frau, and I demand your badges be reduced to show such. :stare:


I will gladly give up half of the new badge provided I get back all of the 2010 badge... so it will be clear to everyone that while I may have been only half as slightly better than you in 2011, I was totally slightly better than you the year before. :O:

[Chad]

Congrats to the winners :yeah:

[Torplexed]

Aww. Gee. Thanks for the honor guys. :salute: Awesome badge design by the way.

Nikimcbee's sig ain't half bad either. :D

[Sailor Steve]

I'll gladly swap yaz. That is the coolest badge evah! :rock:

...so it will be clear to everyone that while I may have been only half as slightly better than you in 2011, I was totally slightly better than you the year before. :O:
As long as you're slightly better than you yourself were, nothing else matters. Me? I get slightly worse every year. Neal has informed me that if this continues I'll have to turn mine in for a Subsim Dunce Cap. :cry:

Congratulations to all the winners. You deserve it. There were others who deserve it too, but there can be only one, and the votes fall where they may. :sunny:

[TLAM Strike]

Maybe multi-awardees should get ribbons that have a little java or flash pop up that shows the full badge.

[brett25]

great job skippers, congratulations to all:woot::woot:

[urfisch]

congratulations!

:salute:

[krashkart]

These were some tough decisions to make, but we made it through with only a few minor injuries. :DL


My apologies to the committee and the Subsim staff for starting the fire in the break room. :oops: That was sheer lunacy on my part. I was out of control, and it was all made worse by an unhealthy addiction to Flintstone's chewables and chocolate milk. I have since sought professional help, and I promise that I will never do anything stupid again. Also, Jim... I'm sorry about the broon dog. The owner of the pet store assured me that he was potty trained, and I also thought he could actually drive a car. I hope your insurance will cover the damages to Mrs. Buna's vehicle... :nope:

[Herr-Berbunch]

... I was totally slightly better than you the year before. :O:

Fair one, you win that point. :D

[Dowly]

Maybe multi-awardees should get ribbons that have a little java or flash pop up that shows the full badge.

Aye, I PM'd Neal some months back asking if the badges could be made smaller
and maybe add a simple text pop up saying which award it is if you hover mouse over it.

He removed my "Best of 2010" (or 09, I don't remember) badge as a result. :rotfl2:

[h.sie]

thanks.

i wouldn't have been able to make the sh3-patch on my own, without the help and the motivation of the great subsim community.

also, I wouldn't have started my work, if there were only stock sh3. so i want to say "thank you" to all the supermod creators and other modders who worked to make sh3 a great sim.

Oh, did I? Sorry :(

I can try to make them smaller, but I think it would be better just to add them to your sig, eh?

Let me see what I can do.

[frau kaleun]

but I think it would be better just to add them to your sig, eh?


Now there's an idea... :D

[Dowly]

Oh, did I? Sorry :(

Let me see what I can do.

Yeah, you may have done such a thing. :O:

I say keep the newest badge under member's avatar and have all the badges
in one album so members can add the older ones to their sigs from there as you said. :hmmm:

[misha1967]

Huge congrats to the winners who deserve every bit of the recognition! :yeah:

Having come back after a self-imposed hiatus of years, I'm so glad to see that this forum is every bit as awesome as it was 8 years ago when I joined, if not even better :up:

You guys are the closest I can get to family without actually being family and you're a credit to our hobby. A place where you can just walk in, kick your shoes off, and have a good time, whether you're an "old hand" or "just" a "noob" looking for assistance. I'm PROUD to be a SubSimmer!

Long May Uncle Neal's Subsim Live! :salute:

Wadda ya know, you won something other than that funny taste in your mouth.

Regardless of the 'badge' you're still a troll.

plus a print-friendly version to show it to your mommy:03:

[Herr-Berbunch]

How about badges for the sig, and a ribbon for previous awards under the avatar - that way more could be displayed for those who need it. :hmmm:

[Dowly]

How about badges for the sig, and a ribbon for previous awards under the avatar - that way more could be displayed for those who need it. :hmmm:

Yeah, the ribbon thing was my suggestion in my PM to Neal. Tho, the ribbons in
my example would be just scaled down badges. Maybe have them as thumbnails,
so if you click it you are directed to the full size badge.

Hey, look at me with my stinkin' badges :D

http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x462/Dowly/SS_Badge_suggestion.jpg

I like that! I will start on it. Let me explain one limitation, the field for Custom avatars in vBulletin only allows a certain number of characters, sort of like a tweet I guess. If I enter more than the limit, the rest get cut off.

So, I may not be able to add hyperlinks...I'll see. Maybe I can combine the images in some cases like you so that they are all one bit of html.

[Dowly]

Yeah, placing multiple badges to the same image file should help out in shortening it.

Think tinyurl.com works with images too, so you could try that if you need to
squeeze out more characters. :hmmm:

[Sailor Steve]

Damn i wish one day i could become as good as all the super ultra duper mega modders here:k_rofl:
Get your mod finished. You were one of the candidates, but there was no mod to judge by. :sunny:

Hi Steve,

Believe me i am not making humor because of jealousy frankly i prefer to have my postbit space free from such a gigantic icon:k_rofl:
But i know a lot of folks here don't even have a good sense of humor!

Best regards Hans

[Jimbuna]

Steve was truthful in what he posted and was actually being supportive and positive toward you.

Hi Jim,

And can i know in what negative way i reply to Steve?

I said it was humor and you seem to be one of those without a sense of it:k_rofl::k_rofl:

Best regards Hans

[Takeda Shingen]

Let's not get ugly here, Hans. Steve and Jim are both cool guys, and no one is taking a swipe at you.
