Yep, 74,000 guys downloading stuff and not caring about the community at all.

Sorry, bad hair day.

Well, that is a major part of the service that the site provides, as well as something that is central to the mission of SubSim. Some people are shy, some don't care for forum participation. What is important is that 75,000 people are out there playing and enjoying SubSims thanks to the efforts of Neal.

Yes, that is what's important. Sorry if I was whining. I really am having a bad day, week, month, year, life, whatever. I didn't mean for it to spill over.

" 8 more captains until 75,000 "

I am very happy and proud to be one of them.

Good work Neal and SubSim

I'm also not good in math and I got same result. Either we both are miserable mathematicians or Neal did counting error.

75,000? We'd have just enough skippers to assemble our very own milk carton regatta boat!

Are you guys questioning the Supreme Leader's math skills? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Probably not, but 75,001 will get a consolation prize for just missing:





Maybe we can get #75,000 to buy a round for the other 74,999 captains...
