or any of the other things that a lot of our newer guests (and, sadly some of our longer standing ones) have turned it into.

So then, what is the Radio Room of Subsim.com then, you ask?



Most of the threads in the last few weeks fall painfully short of that objective.

thank you for posting that!

I spent some time yesterday looking through the subsim archives to see how SH3 was received back in 2005 and I was surprised by the difference.

first, there were a lot less posts, obviously we were a smaller community back then.

second, you also had similar posts where members complained or praised this or that aspect of the game.

But the biggest difference was the tone. Members disagreed, but everyone was respectful of other member's opinion, even when we discussed something as divisive as Starforce.

It was clear that all members were motivated by a mutual desire to improve SH3.

But something has changed, this forum now has a meaner, cruel overtone. Many posters are only interested in winning an argument, no matter what tactics they use, showing little or no respect and freely insulting anyone who disagrees with them.

I really don't like where this forum is going. It's not the old Subsim forum I used to know and like to hang around in.
