Been here 15 years!
 

It is hard to believe, but I just noticed my join date was 2007. That means I've been here for 15 years.


I leave it and come back to it over the years, but subsimming has been a thread in my life since I first discovered Silent Service on PC back in 1985.


Thanks for Subsim, Onkle Neal!

Season's Greetings, shipmate :Kaleun_Salute:

You should know that you are eligible for parole any time now. :haha:
All jokes aside, It's good to have you here. Subsim is awesome. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:All the best in the new year to you and yours.

I couldn't agree more to that CW

To Sept. next year I will have been a member for 20 years-With some years absent where I was active in another of Neal's forum the Subclub.

Dang, 15 years! :subsim:. We’re all gettin old, wonder who’s the current holder of the Order of the Ancient Mariner? That should be an award. :Kaleun_Cheers:

I agree - but it would turn out to be some bugger who never posts :haha:

Most probably :)

The years flew by. :k_confused:

I was still living in Osnabrück when i found Subsim, that must have been 1999 or 1998. I had questions on Jane's 688i, found the early version of this forum bakc then and was told I should ask Neal Stevens. And I asked "Who is this Neal Stevens and where can I find him?" while already trampling on his lawn. :haha:

Some of us who have 2001 in their avatar may add even one or two years more, if you remember back in the early years there was some server issue and Neal moved data to another server, something technical happened and many people ended up getting a new replacement date for their entry date, and that happened to be this 2001 date some of us unisono show in our avatar. Thats how I recall it at least.

Submarines are still an interest of mine, but not a dominant anymore, I scan some of the subsim forums here, but 99% of the time silently, like it is appropriate for a submariner. If I am active in any sort of social media - GT is probably the candidate to name. Never met any of you personally, but I am used to some of you since long now :) . And over time I learned to not eat everything as hot as it was cooked in here. ;)

I guess you're not a new guy any longer :)

After reading Skybirds comment about his story I came to remember that I was a member of subclub from 2001/2 and it was through an invitation from Hitman I became a member here in 2003. I was one of the few who should test SHII in the pacific.

It was first from 2009/10 I became more active here.

I also noticed sometime ago that I could celebrate 15 years here. Years fly, haha!
Subsim is like a second home nowadays :subsim:

I suddenly got this crazy idea.

Create avatar/badge in Bronze, Silver, Gold and platinum

A person who has been a member for 5 years gets an avatar coloured bronze
A person who has been a member for 10 years gets an avatar coloured silver
a.s.o

How this avatar should look like I don't know only that it should be in these colour and with the number 5, 10, 15 and 20 in it.

Well my first thought was a submarine badge in some of the colour and the number on it.

Where should it be placed-Under the information about the member.
and the contribution sign.

I had to go check my date, my join date was 05-01-2002 and this site is my favorite.

Great idea, Markus. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:





Your simulators look awesome. I will be checking them out in the next few days. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:
