i really cant see what all the fuss is, when i wanted pacific aces i had to dish out money, i wanted it so i paid. now for convenience, and because im too lazy to fight for a download on day of public release i will pay for gwx 2.0, i hasten to add that i only contributed to site upkeep about 6 weeks ago, but it serves my purpose to get gwx 2.0 early. so ill pay, plus i havent seen a minimum amount donation mentioned anywhere, so again i cant see what the fuss is , because i daresay neal would be happy with a couple of dollars\pounds , & hed be probebly be just as grateful for that ,as he would be if youd donated 10 or 20 dollars\pounds towards upkeep. because when running a site with webspace and download space every penny helps, i know from past experience that getting a good webspace provider isnt cheap.

anyway on 1st day of forum release ill let him have $10.00 dollars i think thats an amount i can easily afford ,plus the wife wont notice it :) .

oh and in the 2 years plus ive been lurking here, i dont think ive ever seen one of the gwx guys post asking for money or to make a profit, the impression ive alway had is that they do this for the sheer joy of doing it, and for the love of the game plus you guys who follow the mod. & this is just theyre way of ensuring that the forum and this comunity continue smoothly on. if you cant afford to donate, then 1 week really isnt an aweful long time to wait. i daresay within 3 days of the forum release there will be a dozen mirrors on filefront anyway ,from other forum members. so fussing over it inst really very logical.

Good point, if you have donated to Subsim within the last year, please e-mail me the day before the GWX release and include 1. the date of your donation 2. your Paypal e-mail address and 3. your forum nickname.

Make sure the e-mail Subject is: Neal, my Subsim donation goes toward GWX 2.0 please

I will look you up in the donation roster and hook you up with the mod ASAP.

thanks
Neal

That's exactly right. Until about a year ago, Pacific Aces and games sold through Chips and Bits (with a healthy 12% commission) kept the coffers full. For a while, PA brought in 2x more than the site cost to run. When the donations dropped below the cost of running the site, I paid the balance out of my pocket; was not a problem, Subsim was well in the black for two years. But Chips and Bits died, and Amazon only pays 6.5%, not much, so it's necessary for me to go to the Subsim members to help with the costs.

I do want to say, some of you have made very generous donations in the past, and I don't want to make you feel that you have to make another donation right away. The key is, with 20,000 people viewing this forum a month, that we spread the load. So, if you donated in 2007, please e-mail me the day before the GWX release and include 1. the date of your donation 2. your Paypal e-mail address and 3. your forum nickname.

Sure, especially American Express type. If you plan to send a MO or cash, be sure to e-mail me the day of the release for the download info. I trust you, I'll hook you up right away.

@Wolfehunter

Received and responded to your PM regarding your generous donation to SS mate.....many thanks, I'm sure Neal will appreciate it :up:

Greetings to all Silent Hunter 3 fans :D

I know my post will look a little bit stupid but please understand that my English is not good as yours eather:oops: .
So i have a little question or let just say a favor to ask.
When the day of PUBLIC release will come, would it be possible to create a torrent file for a download.
Why do i ask
1 - A better and a save way to resive large file or files without bad hach data (sorry for that English)
2 - Less trafic for a official GWX web site (i belive you will upload the package when the time come)

Thanks in advance!
All the best! Dimitrius ;)

Yes a torrent will be done

And nothing wrong with your English :up:
I understood it perfectly

Thanks Neal, you have something in your PM...



For dose who are in the gain of twisting my intentions,
I will just say something and stop This talk of danating or not!



I bellieve that most of you are not aware of the real world
that for some people are not as easy as for others!

I am paying my site from my own pocket,
the reazon is dose people the guys that come in here
and the only thing that they can really get free is our Mods !

You can call me a Robin Hood, or a Martir or what ever,
But I bellieve that I am doing something right and good
when I spend hours on graphic work and Modding all by
myself without any help and team to support my decisions
or bad moments !

This way I can offer them some happiness, some cool moments
with a free Mod that Is my gift to all that have a bad life or are in
bad financial status, I decided to post Mods here and to begin Modding
first for the Fun and Joy and then with that idea on my head ,

Each mod I make Is a gift of happiness for someone that under normal
real life conditions have no way of bying or paying for a new game
every weeck or Mounth...


For you guys I work and keep Modding !

Thise is a perfect :rock:
Thanks ;)
