Um no thanks... My posting is just fine.

As for my understanding. I have been on this forum for quite some time. (Note the timeline of my posts. I was involved as one of the first SH3 addon production projects (A group that lasted for a few weeks headed by me. It was out of place when SH3 was not out yet) and I have been on another International forum (Orbiter forums) for longer. I am quite understanding of the way forums work thank you...

You posted in a topic that had dropped down some distance just to drop a ego depth charge. Do not try hiding it as a passive question. It was a completely loaded statement trying to state that I have no room to talk because I have no sub.

Sorry if I am not like some of the others that just accepts being minupulated. Go bother someone else!

Okay, first of all, being on a SH3 addon production is great and all, but I'm talking about interacting with everyone on the forums. I like to think I have gained some respect from people here from the fact that I can post a disagreement with their view without being dismissive.

As for your 'ego depth charge' line, exactly where is my own personal gain in this? I personally found your remarks to swifty quite unreasonable. Would you have preferred if I had said it a different way? Look at it this way - the way you addressed swifty was unacceptable. This forum prides itself on being honest, and quite frankly, building your own submarine is pretty damned cool, regardless of its functionality.

And as for being 'manipulated', no. I'm not manipulated. If I were, I'd have let this rest and allowed this disrespect to have passed. I take pride in the time and money I have invested in this place, and I take pride in the people I have met and whom I consider close friends. This isnt manipulation, this is someone speaking out for the mistreatment of one of their friends.

It isn't mistreatment. Its a statement. The mistreatment is the copyrighted song in the video that people seem to feel is quite cool doing these days even tho mothers are being sued for downloading music.

I think it is uncool when resources in this situation are used to get into a record book instead of exploring. A homemade sub dosent have to face a torpedo attack so speed is meaningless. Its duration (Air), depth, range and of course how much science can it do.

My question stands. When will a submarine by this group be made with exploration and science in mind?

[Kapitan_Phillips]

So your gripe with swifty is mainly because of a copyrighted song?

And do you fail to see how groundbreaking a homemade submarine is?

[Zachstar]

No

There have been other homemade subs.

This is the first complaint I've had, and its been there for over a month.

If you could just scale it back along the width 100px. Causes the forum to extend past the length of my window. Makes things a little annoying to read.

Are you having a bad day or something? Taking a swing at everyone who comes along? Knock it off, Zach.

Swifty, as you were saying.... carry on with your thread.
