Earliest Subsim forum member - you? Prove it!

[nikimcbee]

I found subsim pre- SH2 days, but under a different user name. I couldn't find myself in there. I was the first one to post about problems with the AI for the destroyers in SH2.

The old E:rt posts are funny to read. All of the promised features (flyable aircraft, land, etc; then there's multiplayer ) I think every 3 months there's a post that multiplayer is "almost" ready:rotfl: .

[Blacklight]

I wasn't signed up back then so I didn't post, but I read the boards regularly. It's wierd because I remember reading a lot of those posts about 688i HK.

Another wonderful thing I discovered in that archive is links to two 688i HK sites that are actually still up and have downloads. I've been pretty much unable to find downloads for 688i anywhere !

Here is a link for custom scenarios. There's a bunch there that aren't posted in the download area of Subsim:

Also, since 688i has a hard time running right with more than a certain ammount of scenarios in it's scenario folder, here's a link to a utility to manage them that is still up :
http://www.lrim.com/scmgmt/help/toc.html

I'd love to get my hands on more of those old missions ! I recall Seawolves back then had hundreds (Which I had and then lost the floppies they were on)

I also remember reading this thread and having a bit of a laugh:

To be fair you should purchase the game and then complain, wastegate ...

your just stirring things up for personal reasons that you evidently have left undisclosed ...

I've been a sub sim member since 1999 and never have I seen anyone start a thread like the one you just started about how everyone shouldn't purchase the game.

What's in it for you to make everyone angry ... you don't even come over here. You should go sit it out and think about it.

Watch out which side your own everyone ... his vanity is showing

But under your avator it says: Join Date: Jan 2002.Sorry Geetrue, just had to do it!
I can answer that question better than the attorney general can answer why he fired those eight attorney's ... lol
You see when I joined in 1999 ... Neal had a different server and as the forum kept growing he changed it like three times to what it is today. Which resets join date and number of post ...

I use to be geetrue2 and enjoyed many good visits to subsim.com to fellowship with like minded people in love with submarines and submarine sims ...

You should have seen the thread wars we had in the old days ... Those guys really knew how to fling it too, but SH2 came and went, SH3 is still hanging in there and SH4 will be top sub sim as soon as the modders get through.

If the good Lord be willing I'll still be here for SH5 ...

@Geetrue: Well slap my mouth!!

I have more proof than my own witness a year and a half ago ... i have old sea stories on a back up hdd ... I'll go find them.

I've been onboard since 1999 ... started out as geetrue2.

Been through several server changes ... someone said those old sea stories were still floating around out there in the wheeo' wheeo' world.

Ask Torplexed or Takada ... I was here before they were ... I was here for 911 waiting for Destroyer Command to come out.

Plus I think I attended the first or second sub sim meeting in Los Angeles in the spring of 2002.

I've wandered around the web, but subsim's international community is the best for getting a good feeling for what other people in the world think ... sim wise and world news wise.

Tis True!! I was there with ya G!

As I recall Neal was in LA at some game convention and several of us met him at his hotel and we went out to dinner.

Back in them thar days I spent my time on the Wolf Pack League board..
I remember makin plans on how we would decimate the Destroyer Command players when it finally released...
.. and then when DC was released I became one of the several *ahem* fairly adept Destroyer captains :p
In fact I was leader of First Fleet for quite a while when I succeeded Onager

I do miss those days...............

[Chad]

I remember ole Onager

For awhile, I was Flotilla Commander of the 29th Flotilla, and was suceeded and given command of the 3rd Flotilla.

Those were the good days, I still look fondly back at WPL and the times we had

I wish i could prove it, all i remember is i ordered a cd with mods on it from Subsim for SH2, unless Neal keeps records of who buys what he might find one from a Guy in New Zealand and hopefully that was me!. What i do know back then around 2000 and up is i had to be taught how to make my own email address by a work mate i remember that clearly as he showed me how to make a hotmail address up! As i had no internet at home only at work so i was new to signing up to sites. But damn if i know what my user name would of been i had some guesses as i was a big fan of Quake with the user names "Kaos36" & Frank36 - Frank my name 36 was my age, so maybe I signed up on subsim with one of those names? Ive search some of the archives but with no luck.

Maybe one day i'll remember the name and find it on here.:hmm:

[Anachronous]

I've been here a while, but i mostly lurk :P

[bookworm_020]

I will be the oldest subsim member in 65 yesrs. All that came before me will have been sent to davy jones locker by then! Till then, I shall keep reminding you of that day in the future!

[horsa]

I remember when all this was just fields.

I wish I'd thought of that ……




My first post :-

Anyone know how to access/modify JRF files?

Any pointers appreciated.

And still doing it ….. rusting away on “Iron Seas”

Not the longest serving poster but any prizes for consistency ?

Remember the BB Melee's? So much fun.

Don't actually know how long I've been around, I think since mid 2001.
Edit: My profile says Feb so there you go. I was a mere 14 year old then.

[Castout]

Can't find my old postings

But while searching I came across familiar names which now have been gone from subsim:

Thomasew, Mcarm, Ramius, Boomer Ang . . . . .

Not to forget, jsteed, MBot, Te Kaha, Deepsix and Ludger Styra.
Last time they surfaced was half september 2008.
What a time it was when those guys where around here daily.

[Takeda Shingen]

I used to 'host' a submarine trivia thread at Sub Club. No matter how obscure the questions, Ramius would always get them right, and get them right first. A good guy, and I do miss him.

Yeah, Ramius was a nice guy, and deadly in DW.
