oh dont get me wrong... i instantly recognized the joke but look at it from this point of view Tater... steve:
A random person is searching for information on Silent Hunter 5 and google directs him to Subsim Radio Room forums.
he checks the place out and is excited by all of the "new" information
he goes into a thread
and comes to the conclusion "Wait a minute... this is not a helpful, thought provoking place to be... these guys are just a bunch of clowns."
he then searches elsewhere and ends up joining another forum.
potential new blood... GONE WITH THE WIND.
Subsim Radio Rooms is supposed to be a helpful and positive environment. i have absolutely nothing against posting these joke threads when done appropriately, but IMHO it is a massive waste of time and resources when someone is seriously searching for new information and they come to subsim and end up with misleading thread titles that point them to completely useless and false information.
try to look at it from that perspective.
as a group of subsimmers... we are supposed to be helpful to people who wish to enter into our hobby.
by misleading them - whether they are a member or not - we fail to help.
