Well, I find it hard to believe such dramatic announcements. Subsim is not dying, it's been going strong for ten years and bar server fires I should imagine that it will be still going strong in another ten years.
People are getting rather emotional over Silent Hunter V, I rarely look in the SHV forum but when I do it seems to be a divide of good and bad opinions and many threads on a similar subject, in other words, pretty much the same thing that happened when SHIII came out just a bit more in volume because there's more people on this forum now than when SHIII came out.
So, while Accer may have a genuine grievance with moderators in the SHV forum, that's surely something between him and the moderators to resolve by PM as opposed to making a fantastic claim that Subsim is dying. Aside from server overload caused by the sheer size of Subsim at the moment (which is growing because of new members joining over SHV) the rest of Subsim is doing just fine, only in the SHV forum is there something akin to a bush fire, and that's business as usual for a new release.
Seriously, I have nothing against Accer, and, like I said, if there is a problem with the moderators surely this is something to be sent in an email or PM to Neal rather than hanging it up in public where people can hurl dung at moderators with gay abandon. This is not a public pillory.
Issues like this are best resolved with emails or PMs, nothing good ever comes out of airing ones dirty laundry in public.
If you expected better from me, well then I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that's how I feel and as much as I respect how you and Accer feel, I ask that you also respect how I feel.
