:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Right on the spot, mate!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Edit: Just a note: At my university (University of Tromsø, Norway), we arent allowed to use references from Wikipeida in our exam essays , since its considered a unreliable source..

Yeah i know, silly me. I just dont think stuff like game mods belong on wiki, but then again, theres a ton of stuff on there that probbly doesnt need to be either - thats why i don't consider it authoritve. Anything historical for instance, is just the same reguritated information from sites like uboat.net

I respect you view, mate, and i think you have a reasonable point there. I just believe that the future for computer games will be more in the hands of the communities, regarding addons and such.

No...not silly you at all mate
Your simply stating your opinion and I for one think it's a very valid one
Another part of me is also saying "kudos to GWX"
When I'm browsing on the web for info re: warfare...I look at the Wiki for the odd reference...but if I'm after something with more weight or authority I look at official/government type sites

*edit* Seth: see my edit in the last post

What's the big deal about it being in there for ?

I think Letum and his BIG proclamation,


"TIME" Magazine's man of the year 2006 (really!)

smacks of egocentricity !

I just read it, and I think it's pretty lame. It really does read like a fanboy love letter.

Why? He really is TIME's man of the year.

And so's his wife.

Do you think we should tell him Steve?

Anyhow, Munson, I havent accused anyone of egocentricity at all.

I didn't state that you had but tell me, Is there any relevance with the 'TIME magazine man of the year' thing to Simulation games, Submarine or otherwise ?

I went to the post, just to see what was there. As usual, I found incorrect grammar and spelling errors, so I corrected them. The second link was not correct so I removed it.

I don't care whether it is there or not. All I see about it is the notification that there has been an addon for "Silent Hunter III", and gives credit to the people that developed it. So what's the big deal

I thank you rob, my english could have been better... Its a nice gesture, mate, i appreciate it!

[Kpt. Lehmann]

Well, after having been called every name in the book by people in this community...

I like the fact that the article is there.

At then end of the day what it really does is simply lead more potential Subsimmers to Subsim.com at any rate.

Players will make their own decisions anyway.

None at all. It's just a very funny joke.

Oh Oh .. I've clicked the links and think I owe Letum an apology.

SORRY.

[Sailor Steve]

You shouldn't apologize...you, too are MAN OF THE YEAR!!
