If you are new to forums
 

For all the new captains and C.O.'s reporting in on the Silent Hunter IV forum, you may want to review this before starting a post, because you are driving me NUTS. Meet little Billy:

It is starting to get real hard to read or find usefull "stuff" now that Patch 1.2 is out without reading posts someone else started already. I/We are wasting time that is already there or duplicated. The princlple remains the same on all forum boards.

OK, little Billy? All in good fun!

[p.s. In love with the 1.2 patch]

Moderators:
Hope you get a chuckle out of this.

Brilliant! :rotfl:

Hi Monica:)

Hillarious but very instructional. Neal may use it for neewbie tutorial lessions or make a brig canidate watch it 100 times:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Good find.:up:

lol, that should be required reading.

That is choice stuff! I've seen it before on another board, only thing I'd want to change for this board is to make it look like a '40's vintage sepia-toned newsreel.

You ask me, Neal should run that whenever a new member signs up, as part of the signup process. Does get kinda "cluttered" around here seeing the same subject pop up in a dozen threads...

You are reading my mind. Rather have you say that than me out of respect of how long you have been here over me.

"Length of service" don't have anything to do with it! If you've got a good idea, say it, even if you only signed up yesterday! Last weekend a swabbie like yourself posted a "fix" to get all the outer doors open at once and it worked! Was his 1st post too. I'm glad he didn't wait for a more "senior" member to think it up!

I think it would be a good idea for newbies to check out Billy, if even only 1/2 of them listen it would help keep things more managable around here. I freely admit to having asked questions that have already been answered, but I do the best I can to search the forum (for hours if necessary) before I ask. The "clutter" could be reduced greatly if most of the new guys did that.

Used to have that in my sig till I realized it was futile.

Just give it a few days the noise level will calm down.

In the meantime the search function works pretty good as opposed to some other forums.

I'm sorry, I know this is the check-out line and you have all been waiting...

...very patiently, but If I stand over there, can/will another line form just for me? :D

Thanks for saying what we all wanted too.

* Big question, how many had to hit Again? more than twice? he he

Cheers

I was considering starting a "1.2 thread", "Another 1.2 thread", "And Another 1.2 thread", just because some idiot will use it.

He he... Oh, and I have this question about FSAA.....

Great stuff. :D People will be people though. We all learned the Driving code in order to pass the test and get a license...how many of us use it correctly as we drive around though?

:D

There's rules to driving? Insanity!

I generally pick my nose, put on makeup in the rearview mirror, talk on the cell phone, drink whiskey and fire a shotgun out the window all while driving.

Where do you live? Hazard county?

Is that you Uncle Jesse?
