Thanks, Markus! That is in Nov 2004, I believe.

Nov. 2004 -- In the days before Silent Hunter III was released, everyone was speculating wildly on the SH3 release date. One November fine day, Subsim members saw a thread that said: New release date for SHIII. It was a clever hoax by Drebbel (especially the part where he said "Haha, got you" ). Subsim skippers formed a lynch mod and we kicked off a trial for Drebbel. Sailor Steve was Drebbel's defense lawyer, Hitman was the judge, JJ was the prosecutor, Torplexed was the court reporter, Neal was the bailiff, and Codmander and several others served as witnesses. The hoax thread by Drebbel that started it all: New release date for SHIII The Trial Proceedings Thread: Trial for Drebbel The Spectator's Gallery, including the art by court reporter Torplexed: Drebbel's punishment for behaving badly, **Spectator Gallery Sailor Steve's Press Conf: PRESS CONFERENCE!
This is what I have so far. Kinda sad that I let this section fall apart, but to be fair to me, I was managing a lot in RL, plus a 60 hour work week since 2016.
