I was goofing off at work today instead of playing golf or having a long lunch and I came across the Google Groups search. I looked for "Subsim" to see when this website was first mentioned:

Hope subsim will be here for years to come.

We all have good comrades here and good comradship amungst us, when subsim closes its doors (hopefully not soon) it will be a depressing day for a lot of people, so.

To subsim a toast to a great number of dives and toast again to many comings to the surface.

Couldn't find anything from the old url, the site from 2000 looks great, though.

I went back in time and created Subsim back in the year 1487… but the internet didn’t exist back then so no one knows about it… :-j

Neal, I tried sending you a PM on Wednesday. It makes me confused that it never left my outbox even when I've seen you posting here!

Perhaps you could read it from my outbox. . .

Wow! That old URL takes me back.

I remember the forums from then had faint outlines of Subs as a background. Made the posts very hard to read.

Ok read it, if I remeber right, you had a custom avatar before you left.

2) Standout in the forums, so Neal decides you deserve a special/personal avatar.

I do standout-in a negative way.
