Default Silghtly OT: Am I glad that Subsim exists!

Just been to a German forum where they discussed SH4 and I swear I've never seen so many morons in 1 place! They were behaving like little children. One guy was sure that everybody is a dickhead who thinks that German technology was better than American technology or that it is stupid to place SH4 in the pacific because US subs only played a minor roll.
I've never seen such ignorance (which is a typicall German characteristic I believe) and I'm really happy to have found that place where one can have nice arguments (without being insulted).
Here's the link if someone wants to read such crap: http://www.gamestar.de/community/gsp...d.php?t=225537

Here we have spirited but respectful discussions. And when things look like they're about to get out of control, the hand of Gizzmoe enters the equation!!!!!

I respect this Forum and the views expressed here. I don't always agree with the views expressed, but there are a lot of knowledgeable people contributing here.

Long live SUBSIM

I agree, subsim is mega, but you might want to refrase the "all Germans are ignorant"-bit, mate. I`m no German, but I would have been kinda pissed off if I was.

Edit: I just saw you are from/in Germany. Hehe, now I`m confused.

Ignorant dicks are all over the place, not just in Germany.

Thats the truth Boris!!! There are A-holes all over. It is just a matter of finding a forum with decent people like Subsim. Sure, we get into some heated discussions but there is no brow beating someone into submission over a fact or opinion. Usually you find the immature on the company that created the game site and offered up a forum for it. Through anonymity on the forums they can say whatever they want and get away with it. Often it is best to ignore them and they go away.

Agreed, I guess I was rather.... um.... 'upset' when I wrote that post.

Hehe, although I was born in Germany it does not meen that I like it. In fact I do believe that many Germans are ignorant and unfriendly. Some of you may say that this is just a cliché but I've got my own experience. If you don't believe me follow the link and read how they insult each other.

While waiting for the six-months-delayed SH3 I spent some time at the UBI boards. I don't go there anymore.

Hyperion, a lot of people everywhere are ignorant and unfriendly. Many of the bad things people say about Americans are true, but there are good folks everywhere too. Personally I like Germans, but then my grandmother was one, so I guess I'm biased.


Oh yeah: if it wasn't for Subsim, I'd likely have gone back to Aces and SHI long ago.

I couldn't undestand anything of that german forum so I just followed smilies.....
The Americans are not bad, in fact no nation is bad, BUT their goverments are...

You can safely say that about many people of every nation in the civilized world. If you find an unfriendly and/or ignorant person, then that quality is of that individual--don't paint an entire nation with a broad brush.

One thing I'll agree with you is that subsim is indeed a great community.
