yeah i agree. As much as i like humor and i tend to fool around from time to time i do hate these misleading topics. Esspecially since real new stuff is so scarce.

he KNOWS when he clicks on that what he is in for. THAT thread is the appropriate place to post such shots. However... thread titles with those images that claim to be: "New User Interface for SH5... NEW 1/2/2010" "New screenshot released" etc. and then proceed to link you to an image such as the ones listed in that thread... very inappropriate

Good job GR, the date thing pissed me off too. There used to be a time when a member would search for something and ask the the proper questions in the proper threads. I've seen a bit of disorder in other sections too but SH5 takes the cake. This opening up of 20 threads per day only adds to the sense of mayhem that's been going on in the last weeks. And let's not forget the polls...
 . I'd like to start a poll myself... Is the number of polls pissing you off? 1. No, I want more. 2. NOOO, I sleep with them in my bed 3. NOOOOOOO, they're extremely useful!!! |

Disagree 100%. Anyone who didn't instantly realize that was a joke was clueless. It was pure win. Life is short, lighten up. |

Well, since I defended Drebbel on similar charges, I have to take the other side. I'm not really a lawyer, I just play one at Subsim.
I'm with Tater - I didn't know whethere there were new screenshots. I also didn't really care. I got the joke, and it was a funny one.

 Anyway, 2 things I don't like on forums. First is a lack of humour (or sense of humour from members) the second is Forum Police trying to tell others what to do. Subsim has always been a comical place to be around and long may it continue.

A random person is searching for information on Silent Hunter 5 and google directs him to Subsim Radio Room forums. he checks the place out and is excited by all of the "new" information he goes into a thread and comes to the conclusion "Wait a minute... this is not a helpful, thought provoking place to be... these guys are just a bunch of clowns." he then searches elsewhere and ends up joining another forum. potential new blood... GONE WITH THE WIND. Subsim Radio Rooms is supposed to be a helpful and positive environment. i have absolutely nothing against posting these joke threads when done appropriately, but IMHO it is a massive waste of time and resources when someone is seriously searching for new information and they come to subsim and end up with misleading thread titles that point them to completely useless and false information. try to look at it from that perspective. as a group of subsimmers... we are supposed to be helpful to people who wish to enter into our hobby. by misleading them - whether they are a member or not - we fail to help.
