Oh how many years ago was it? I can't even think of any other websites that I visit regulary after all this time!!! I ran across Subsim back when I heard SHII was being made and it rekindled my interest in SH1. I've been around off and on ever since! This is one of the few communities that has really stood the test of time.
Great job to Neal and the rest of the team members over the years who have made Subsim such a great site!
