I bought SHII off the shelf and ran into immediate problems with crashing. after reloading and experimenting for several months I finally realized there must be someone who knows how to fix it. A forum search brought me here, where I learned of the official patch and mods which not only fixed the problem but actually made the game fun to play.
I'm pretty sure my profile date is right, and the first thing I noticed was how many people there were here who were willing and able to help, to mod and to have a good time. A lot of the faces have changed, but those characteristics haven't.
I used to post in other forums under my real name; I created the 'Sailor Steve' persona specifically for SubSim.
Nostalgia? People? Events? I will never forget the infamous 'Drebbel Trial', while we were waiting for SHIII.
