So I turned up 40 recently and with it came my 10th anniversary as subsim.com member, hence I am somehow sentimental now :D

I would never have thought that a web could endure so much, and also still be so strong and growing up ...

I would never have thought that I would now have two beautiful kids and my marriage is going on strong ...

I would never have thought that ... well, so much more ...

But I thank God for this, it's been a great time here and it's really become a reference in my life to be part of this community. So thank you Subsim, and thank you all for being here, sharing our hobby with passion and friendship :rock:

Pretty cool, Alberto. I'm right behind you. My 10th will be in November, but I'll probably hold off starting a thread until the anniversary of my first post, which will be late in December.

Congratulations on surviving this long! :rock:

Congrats Hitman, it's good to see you, haven't seen you about since that business in Norway with the wolves. :03:

*looks at his profile*

Dear God, it's my ten years this year too! Well, technically it's eleven since I lurked the board for about half a year to a year before I actually joined up.

It's gone past so quickly! :o

Subsim is always a great place to come back to, it's like a good online home or something. And you're one of the people who makes it great, so, thanks for the good 10 years! :up:

Congrats, Hitman. Of course, I'll always remember the great Drebbel trial (http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_archive1/viewtopic.php?t=26588), that's where I learned not to cross you :)

Cheers guys, 2002 was the year when SH2 hit the shelves and many people started pouring here searching for fixes to its bugs ... and many of us have stayed. I guess we will celebrate lots of 10th anniversaries this year :woot:

Me as well. I then discovered SH3. Lurked about. Joined. Dumped SH2 for SH3. Learned a plethora of information on working with game files, mods, installing mods and wealth of other information concerning computers. Not to mention a wealth of info concerning what happens and who is affected around the world with current events. Truly a international community. :up:

Alberto, wasn't your first signature something like ' forget all the stereotypes. We're not all bull fighters in Spain'?

Ten years. Or 315,360,000 seconds. I could swear that originally the site was named subsim.hit. :hmmm:

IIRC It was: "There are nowadays more virtual U-Boat Kaleuns in Spain than bullfighters, so please forget stupid stereotypes about us"
