SUBSIM: 25 years on the web !

Thats quite a share of a human's lifetime, isn't it, around one third of that span?

I am aboard since one or two years before the year mentioned in my avatar, I think around 1999, maybe even 1998, but I think it was 1999. Quite some of the long time members have actually that time gap, are members since 1 or 2 years longer than their avatars say. Wasn't there some switching thing with the forum back then that led to this time shift, gap or whatever it was? Anyway, I was already here since one or two years when I still lived in Osnabrück - and I started to move to Münster in early 2020.

Time is fleeting. Where have all these years gone? Memories floating in the mind like a breeze blows vague forms of mist throug the the air. Jane's 688. Sub Command. Falcon 4 RP. SimHQ. Frugals World. MicropProse. Subsim.com. Sounds of names echoing in the mind. It were good gaming times, weren't they!? Technically things weren't perfect. But there still was the magic. The fascination. Thinfgs wer goit used to today and think of as "standard", were nto to be granted, were not to be imagined. We got them, yes, but the perfection came at a cost, me thinks. Something got lost a bit. Forgotten. Or did I just grow older?

And who is still around of those ^ names, and in strength...?
