Since Feb 2007 (18 years)
------------------------------------------------------

2) What is it about the site that keeps you a member?
There are always new Game play mods being released. I love to read about tactics in hunting and on defence. There’s never a shortage of help if requested.
-----------------------------------------------------

3) What is it about this website that has allowed it to survive for nearly three decades while other video game websites have died out?
See question #2 answers.
----------------------------------------------------

3) Are there other places (Discord, Reddit, other social media) where you go to for the SubSim community?
Yes, I visit the Discord for ONEALEX and I get a lot of info from UBOAT.NET
----------------------------------------------------

4) If you're a member who's been here for years or decades, what are some of your favorite memories of being a member of the SubSim community/site from the 90's, 2000's, or 2010's?
Talking to older, original member and learning from them and being able to help newer members and seeing their success.
-------------------------------------------------------

5) Anything else you'd like to say about the website or community or anything you think is important?
It’s amazing that a game from 2005 (or close to it) is still alive and well and has such versatility in the game play stiles. There is something for everyone. If ya want to just blow stuff up after a hard day at work, you got it, in an arcade stile. If you want extreme realism and crew management, you got it, and all points in between. But no matter how you play or your taste. The eye candy is very satisfying. Last but not least, a major mod is close to release, or as we say here at SUBSIM there’s smoke on the horizon.

1) How long have you been a member of the SubSim community here at the site?
Joined Subsim way back on March 2002. I had hair on my head back then. You can say I have been here a while.

2) What is it about the site that keeps you a member?
The comradery of like minds. I have made many friends from all over the world.

3) What is it about this website that has allowed it to survive for nearly three decades while other video game websites have died out?
The modding community is first class. The modders have keep SH3 alive far longer than maybe would normally with other game venues. They have added so much more visually and game play wise with the super mods like CCoM, GWX, LSH3, NYGM and WAC and some important, but smaller mods, that enhanced SH3 beyond what was originally put out by UBI.

3) Are there other places (Discord, Reddit, other social media) where you go to for the SubSim community?
Not really, not a very social media person.

4) If you're a member who's been here for years or decades, what are some of your favorite memories of being a member of the SubSim community/site from the 90's, 2000's, or 2010's?
Most memorable would be helping run "Wolves at War" as a admin back in the late 2000' to early 2010's.

5) Anything else you'd like to say about the website or community or anything you think is important?
Thanks to Neal for providing this site and putting up with all us cranks.
