OT: How did you guys get to be here? - Page 2

Pumbaa · 01-06-07, 03:25 PM

after reading the POS manual that came with the game I went looking for more info and found you guys

Gezoes · 01-06-07, 04:13 PM

Looking for mods and via the official forums. Much more traffic here though, lurking for six months or so, but I signed up eventually.

I was looking for mods (Dangerous Waters), found some at SubGuru.com and there I found a link to subsim.

Sailor Steve · 01-06-07, 04:47 PM

Is this the only board anyone reads anymore?

No, but general topics is a minefield. Reading there gives me a headache.

Sorry, though, its just that the guys in here are the ones we all "know", so I thought it would be interesting.

I had SH3 bought as soon as it got out, but then I lost the DVD (you know, you lend it and it never comes back). I managed to play without my DVD (I'm not to proud at myself for doing that). I did around for SH3 mods, but the ones I found were weak and required a new install.

THen I posted on the FileFront forums that I wanted to know how to make new subs for SH3. They sent me to the main site, which showed me the way to the forums and I have been posting since (I have been kindda inactive for a while, still having GWX Beta installed). I then bought a new SH3 game and stilled GW 1.1a.

The same reason I join any forum, I have a problem and need answers. I got myself in way too deep on subsim and become a modder, lol.

Corsair · 01-06-07, 06:15 PM

I bought SH3 a few months after its release, and came to Subsim.com first to look for mods. I played Rub for a long time, then had a long pause spending more time on flight sims.
I came back around here in September, discovered NYGM, started playing again , lurking on the forum and jumped in...

@respenus :

As long as you've bought the game, nothing to be ashamed of imho. I bought all the games I use, but the CDs and DVDs are carefully stored and never used after install...

Biggles · 01-06-07, 06:16 PM

Just luck I guess.

Got the game about 5 months ago , started playing vanilla version but after a week or so started wanting to mod things , saw the ad for seawolves that used to be in gameshadow , did some reseach and found out about all the stuff with X-1 etc and about GW 1.1 , thought why pay for something that it looks like i can get for free? , so joined to get a faster d/l of gw and been here since

dean_acheson · 01-06-07, 07:25 PM

I came here in 01 looking for news about SH2.

Iron Budokan · 01-06-07, 07:59 PM

I came across this sight through the UBI SHIII forum.

Chaotic42 · 01-06-07, 08:03 PM

I was looking for information on Silent Hunter. I thought I was the only person who still liked sub games.

I lurked for a while before creating my account. I don't post much, but I read quite a bit.

Deep-Six · 01-06-07, 08:36 PM

I just stumbled onto this forum by accident.

Enchanter · 01-06-07, 09:16 PM

I had been pottering around with the vanilla version for a while, but only joined up recently when I started having a few questions, and wanted a more intense gameplay. I immediately felt welcome in the forum, none of the bad etiquette of other places. Since then, I've been a busy 'ol Kaleun. I spend more time here than in my sub! Can't be too healthy, but hey, chicks dig it!
