Well I for one still love this forum...

I have participated in many forums, but far less than a few have ever made me so comfortable and been so welcoming as SUBSIM. The willingness, patience, and good humor is very genuine and oh so inviting.... as far as the rules go, half the rules are meant to keep this sub sim loving horde in line... and the other half are to give us something to bitch about.

Like two rednecks who whip the pure T hell outta each other in the parking lot... and then stagger back inside laughing about it to buy each other a beer. I say this fight is over... now who needs a cold one?

Heck yeah, I'll have a cold one. Now where's Uber Gruber, still out on patrol? Can't wait for him to join us, it's his turn to pay...

If only beer could be posted in a drinkable format. Wouldn't that make us a rowdy lot!

Couldn't have written a finer post, Moeceefus.

Welcome aboard, BTW.

The only problem with the community argumentation is.. that a community is formed by more than 1 people and usually is based on democracy where multiple voices and opinions can be heard and not communism where if ur opinion is against or differ from the leadership u get banned or worst.

To make sure that the democracy will not become anarchy inside a comunity, there are rules. And these rules are focused against illegal activities, talks and so, not against criticism and different opinions. I suppose we all here live in countries that are based on democracy and we all stand up for what that means.

Hey... it's not like we can't agree to disagree. Do I agree with Neal's stance? Nope. Do I understand where he's coming from? Yep. Can I agree to play by his rules when I'm posting on his site? Yep. I'm a big enough man to do so... I trust that Neal's big enough to stick by his rules.

I've got to give him and the moderators credit, too. Like JC said, it's not like they banned UG. They locked the threads (didn't even delete 'em), stated why (though I believe they could've done it a bit more friendly-like), and that was that. UG didn't get keelhauled, tossed in the brig, or even forced to "wear" that nurse avatar for a week or two

.

I second that downloadable beer idea, as long as we can do it with whiskey, too. Whiskey makes the world a better place.

In that, those who were interested in keeping in touch, did so by looking at my profile and sending email.

None of it had anything to do with inciting drama. I couldn't have cared less about that.

But you cant view the email add from the profile and even if you could, he requested his profile to be suspended, which makes it impossible to even view the public profile.

I've left forums in the past because I simply lost interest... that's definitely not worth a "I'm leaving" post.

If I feel like I've got a point to make by me leaving... I'd declare it. Not for drama, but to make the point. Just fading away doesn't make much of a statement... it leaves people wondering where and why you left (if they even notice at all).

Instead, we've got a few pages of folks who noticed. For what it's worth, I think the discussion's useful, too. It reinforces the rules posted above, for folks who might not have noticed otherwise. The DRM/OSP has been bringing out a lot of irritation in people, and I'd rather have that vented off instead of letting it build up.

We need to get working on that downloadable whiskey/beer concept, though... that'd relax things around here

[REL] Downloadable Beer 1.5

Use this mod at own risk. Allows player to download beer direct from forum to allow light (or heavy) intoxicating feeling.

Known bugs,

1) Excessive use can lead to poor submarine control, harbour ramming, excessive shouting and slurred speech.

2) Prolonged excessive use can conflict with the Girlfriend/Wife mods.

3) Can cause problems where ballast tanks require emptying more than usual.
