Older member, but with a new name here.

Christopher Snow · 09-25-18, 02:55 AM

I think I know the drill around here, but when I signed up an hour or so ago it was because I couldn't find records of my old username (as best I remember it) and knew too that I had changed internet providers about a year ago).

So until and unless the admins dunn me (but also hopefully restore?...which I think doubtful...my old account), I'm a newbie. But one with experience.

I've been sub simming since the Avalon Hill board-game days (I believe it was titled "Submarine" as was based on WWII physical models.

"Red Storm Rising" well after that, but it required a decent PC first be acquired...

...Then..."Wolfpack," as best I remember it...and then it got a lot better with "Aces of the Deep." Aces pushed me hard at times, and I loved it.

And then the rest of the genre you all now know, up to SS5. But, in all honesty, the last one I spent much time with was SS3. In those days I would "plot" my attacks across the screen using a protractor and calculator...and the last great attack I remember scoring was a LONG plot...five or six hours...when I sunk one of the ocean going tugs north and east of England. Took me about fifty...maybe sixty course changes to get into the position for a good shot.

So I'm a newbie...but also an old head...if I could just find my old I.D.

In any case, good to know you guys. I've contacted the admins about the possibility of recreating my old I.D. (or not)...just for the record...and am still awaiting a reply. If I figure out who I "was," then I will re-introduce myself again before too long. And if I can't, then...

...these are my pants, so I (still)

must be me!

Hi matey, I've been able to ascertain your location etc. but nothing else in the membership section so hopefully Neal (the forum owne)r might have more success.

I the meantime, welcome back

Eichhörnchen · 09-25-18, 05:28 AM

Welcome back... changed email with provider? I guess this would tell Neal who you are... I mean were!

Onkel Neal · 10-01-18, 04:06 AM

Hi Snow, thanks for hanging in there, Eich came by and kicked me out of my bunk, so I am now on the case. I will send you an email to your current address, when you reply, I will merge your accounts and send you the log in details.

cheers
Neal

Thank you Neal, and I got the login/merge details. Just heard back from the guy who set me up with the uBlocker and he says it shouldn't affect any rights or close ports, but only affects scripts and calls to other URL's so this should work. I will want to be wide awake and have pen and pad nearby when I login (with your details), and that's unlikely to happen until Wed, but then...it should work! Thanks to you and E, and the rest.

I will probably try this Wed (I have to focus first on a race Tuesday night) and do some cockpit alterations involving power tools.

Christopher Snow · 10-02-18, 05:38 AM

I was confused at first at the length of the PW Neal sent me, because I reached the end of the PW character box...then realized I should just plow ahead at flank speed...and I'm back! I think....

Yes, I'm logged in, thanks Neal and E both especially for your help. :

So let me buy you both a beer:

Good to be back...in my OLD pants!

(I'm gonna have to stitch up these moth holes though....)

Welcome Back Aboard!

Christopher Snow · 09-25-18, 10:02 PM

Thanks for the welcome back.

In those days...I'm guessing it was four or five years back when I was most active, although I've kept up with the occasional visit back too--I own SS5--I was primarily a sim-racer (not a sub simmer) back in those days, and so I think my ID here was simply my own real name: Christopher Snow.

If anyone remembers me, that would maybe help. Otherwise, and in all honesty, the PC that I used then has long since melted down, so I probably won't be able to re-create my old profile.

In which case: "Well...these are my new pants, so I must be me!"

But know too that I'm still a fan of the old-school. And might be even a bit competent with it (refresher course needed, but then...).

I remember most of how to run a plot...and I do have patience too.

Wow, thank you Sir. Don't know how you did it because it wouldn't work for me, but you found me.

THOSE are my pants, and that's me, yep. Lynn Daker was a fine man too, and I wish he was here right now--times are tough and I could use his help and advice (as with my father too, also deceased).

Yes that is me. Thank you!

Christopher Snow · 09-26-18, 02:13 PM

I HAVE sent an email to the admins, but may not have included my remembered username, simply because the search engine wouldn't show me myself.

Now that Eichhornchen (Thank you again!) has found me in the threads, I'd be happiest, obviously, to reclaim my old I.D.

That will require some sort of reactivation by one of the admins, but also a deactivation of this one. Good with that here, even though I use the current I.D. in other places and for other purposes.
