Emigres from Ubi's forums..??

Deephunter · 06-28-10, 10:56 PM

Hope I'm not stepping on anybody's toes here..But...

I'm sure there are several of us that have "migrated" here on a regular basis from Ubi's SH4's forum since the "shake-up" a couple of months back. If so, raise your hand and give your old buddies a chance to know who is here, so's we can pick up where we left off....

formerly known as RavenITS over at UBI.. yet, I just abandoned their forums long time ago and ended up here to learn about modding etc.

I haven't been on UBI for a couple of weeks now, it's kind of screwed up right now.

I used to frequent many of Ubi's forums, but ran into a bit of trouble when I outed a poser who claimed he was a GB though it was actually his big brother. Posing is a big no-no and I bet the brother got his chops busted for telling his little brother some sensitive information.

The fact that this is the newest Ubi game I own and will not by any new ones due to DRM and support issues not to mention the attitudes of Ubi employees that make one go

I have practially stopped going there even through other means. May their stock drop even further than what it is (€6.19, down from €32+ 2 years ago) now.

Welcome aboard to everyone who migrated. What was the shake up about?

Thanks Skipper...
A couple of months back the last of the sub moderators resigned (the others had been trickling out over the course of several months...). He had been doing the job singlehanded, and Ubi, in their infinite wisdom brought in people from other non-sub forums as moderators. God only knows what they do as I've never seen anyone of them post anything (apart from the original "This is me" post...), or lend a hand as other moderators did. Ever since then activity has dwindled down to a few (you can count them with one hand) posts a day....

I have to agree. The Ubi SHIV Forums are no longer what they used to be, the real people who made that forum great are slowing disappearing. Besides you get better information about what is going on with naval simulations here than you ever did at Ubisoft.

Don't be silly. It's German for 'Great'. Or is that Uber?

But seriously what's a GB? I keep thinking 'Gargle Blaster'.

I thought ubi was forum that I had not heard about.

ubi is that place you go to after you buy SH4 looking for any patches, then you find the thread about TMO or RFB that brings you here to Subsim. Then you realize this is where they keep all the good stuff along with great Captains to help you figure it all out.

Think everyone knows I'm MWolfe there, but I've always visited both, but with Tambor gone and the forums still screwed up it seems to be on life support and I seldom sign in there anymore.. Great group there and many come here, so hopefully the rest will at least come visit.

I'm goin' down · 06-30-10, 08:30 PM

ridiculous, but true!!

Just not quite the same without Tambor. The forum just seems to have lost that bit of spark and the sceenshot contest is all but gone

MW/Armistead....Finally tracked you down...Thought you could hide from the long arm of the law, did you..??

G2B...You're right....It was a fun place...It's more like a deserted western town now...
