I'm not one for speeches either, but just let me say this:

Of the communities I know, none are as helpfull and friendly as this one. And let's not forget about the wonderfull sense of humor that makes it a fun place to come back to.

My thanks go out to all members for making it what it is, and to Neal for making it all possible. I would truly feel like I lost a part of myself should it ever go away.

If you have anything to spare, please consider contributing to SUBSIM.com. It not only helps make sure there's a place to get your favorite mod, it also helps to make sure there's a place for discussion, asking questions and simply having a good time.

Heh, guess it grew into a little speech after all.

After donating, the message at the top of the forum list was gone, i also got access to the GWX3 download (which I was not aware of before). After booting again today, the message is there again.

How much more do you need, Neal?

The message appears occasionally and changes, for the duration of the fundraiser (a week).

On a side note, as I mentioned in my e-mail reply to you, many of the donations have been coming from Germany, UK and Finland--maybe I should immigrate!

You don't say....this is the bugga at the time of me posting this

jimbuna, don't be a Scrooge, click here and be part of Subsim's End of the Year Fundraiser!

SS to me is a lot more than a forum, it is more akin to my internet family. Seldom have I visited and interacted with such a great set of people....decent folk who never hesitate to give advice, friendship and support to anyone in need...all they need do is ask.

I'm actually very proud to have been a member of a section of our community that has strived to live up to those ideals. There are many other sections in this community, whether they be individual or group modders, testers or simply those who show their support by posting. Without any of these elements SS would not be what it is today.

It is the wideness and diversity of EVERYONE here that makes this community such a positive family-like entity

I salute you all, especially Neal because without him we would not be here

Group hug everyone

I guess I'll add my testimonial:

I remember getting Silent Hunter 3 shortly after release. I hadn't played a subsim since Silent Service, so I was about as newbie as a newbie gets. I found Subsim.com while searching for mods, and right away I was made to feel at home. I can't imagine another more welcoming and patient community for subsimmers of all skill levels. I've been around here for four years now, and have met some of the nicest and best all around people on Subsim, some of them in person.

If anyone is on the fence about helping to keep this site going, just ask yourself where else could you find the wealth of sub game information, help, mods, and the sense of community that we have here at Subsim? Please show your appreciation, even with just a $5 donation, so that we can continue to enjoy the best darn site and forums on the internet!

Well I've been a member since 2000, I arrived here via another sim site after getting 688i H/K and needing info and patches and the other site didn't suffice. I've stayed ever since, branching out into HeloSim.com aswell without which I would never have met the *****waffles (Insert theatre of operations and side as needed). Since then Neal made me a moderator (I personally think that was a bit mad) and graduated from Dangerous Waters forum to the granddaddy forum of General Topics. How I love to log in and see who I'm going to brig my day. I hate to do it but hey, do I brig somone or continue yet another copy and paste drawing at work....hard decision.

Anyway, Onkle Neal needs you....I'm doing my part.

OK so we are not the mobile infantry but you get the point...

Or I'll send Dowly in your sleep.....think about do you want THAT ferret in your pyjama pants?
