Yep, 74,000 guys downloading stuff and not caring about the community at all. :dead:

Sorry, bad hair day.

Well, that is a major part of the service that the site provides, as well as something that is central to the mission of SubSim. Some people are shy, some don't care for forum participation. What is important is that 75,000 people are out there playing and enjoying SubSims thanks to the efforts of Neal.

Yes, that is what's important. Sorry if I was whining. I really am having a bad day, week, month, year, life, whatever. I didn't mean for it to spill over.

I am not good at math but shouldn't it be 48.I'm also not good in math and I got same result. Either we both are miserable mathematicians or Neal did counting error. :)

Are you guys questioning the Supreme Leader's math skills? Be afraid. Be very afraid. :O:

Probably not, but 75,001 will get a consolation prize for just missing:

Maybe we can get #75,000 to buy a round for the other 74,999 captains... :D

It could be really funny if everyone of us came to our Subsim meet.

That would be something

Subland? Nealville?

MAKE SURE YOU SIGN UP FOR SUBSIM.COM AND NOT FOR SOME GLOBALIZED EQUIVALENT!!!

:/\\!!:/\\!!:/\\!!

I signed up to SUBSIM through subsim.nk back in 2010 and was promised a free semi-submersible Johnboat with enough shoulder launched, gunpowder-filled incendiary model rockets (GFSLM-I Type 0-Dong) aboard to level at least one-sixteenth of an acre of crab grass (and/or foxtails). I paid an additional fee of 50 kilograms of Uncle Ben's instant rice; and 100 liters of No. 6 fuel oil, for a coupon that would allow me to install a twin water-jet propulsion system at the local marina at a discount of 5%. This was a special offer promised by the site's promotional campaign, as authorized by Dear Onkel Kim Jong Nil himself. I have met all conditions necessary to acquire my new 'fishing' boat and its associated man portable armaments--yet after two years I still have not received my garsh-danged pond hoopty. :wah:

I have called customer service repeatedly during the past few months, and I keep getting the same run around:

"Please accept our apologies for the latency in fulfilling your order. Our production lines have been working at full strength to provide you with satisfaction-guaranteed ambivalence. Please keep in mind that other products are also manufactured by our industries so that we may one day reunite Korea under the glorious leadership of Onkel Nil. Furthermore, one must exercise patience at all times in the face of imperialist petulance. Patience is a Virtue Of The People! Shame on you!"

Then they hang up on me!! :stare:

This is absolutely appalling. I have a family reunion coming up this month, and I promised everyone that I would take some of them out on the boat to show them how we "blowed up the Taliban with Tonyhawk missiles back in ought-one!!". I'm in a bit of a pinch. Can you hurry up and send me that Johnboat? Or at least a few packs of bottle rockets and an inflatable raft?

You my friend need a good lawyer. I'm not one myself but if you send me money I will put you in touch with one. All major credit cards are accepted. Don't delay this offer expires in five minutes. :yep:

Its like an unclaimed lottery ticket. I wonder if he realises or is simply one of the spam accounts...

Going by the tools we have he doesn't look like a spammer...very few get through because they seldom get through the vetting procedure.
