How many communities out there can make that same claim with little or no help from the game designers.

WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!!

Did we stop there? Nope. When SH4 and SH5 were released a few years later in similar "train wreck" condition, our community got together again and went to work fixing the problems and developing all new mods for THOSE games. So, what have we got to show for all that hard work? We have 3 pretty solid games, modded to the max, that we can enjoy and be proud of for years to come. Think of the profits UBI might have scored if they came HALF as close as this community did with these games. That's something each and every one of us can be proud of as a member of this family. I say family a lot because that's what I see. I see people from different backgrounds seperated by thousands of miles...who have forged solid friendships over many years. We came together and made our community better, and God willing we'll always have that.

All of that for couple af games....sheesh, can I rant or what?!?!

Seriously...don't sweat the lack of help or interest from UBI. We've managed to do OK on our own, and we'll continue to do so, as long as we have each other and our "family".

Thanks, mah friends!!
