Just a quick post to wish all the best to the people i've corresponded with over the last five years. Thanks also to the modders who have worked hard to produce some great mods for SH3 and SH4. I'm sure the SH5 ones are pretty cool too.

So good luck for the future and I leave you with a quote from Robert Browning which appears on Ernest Shacklton's grave in Grytviken, South Georgia.

"I hold that a man should strive to the uttermost for his life's set prize."

Cheers, and thanks for all the fish,

Shaun.

Can i ask why you are leaving?
Or is that a personal thing?
I've read your posts with interest and wish you all the best in life's travels.

That's a cool story and as fan of Shackleton's adventures I would want it to be true.

However a photo of Shacky's grave does not feature the above quote...

Loved the title :

"The locking of thread that questioned the thread that got locked."

Anyway, to bad you're leaving.

I sincerely hope that a certain Katana wielding moderator will take this as a warning sign.

Sometimes mods do indeed get over zealous. Your thread questioning the closing of the thread questioning the closing of the thread about the crack was closed in a manner that was flat out rude.

Sorry Mod, but it was. If I had put anything like that on one of my forums I would have been ripped into by those in the forum.

I have noticed really heavy handed practices happening at Sub Sim. One I refer to is the bunching of ALL of the Patch 2 complaints into one jumbled mess. I can no longer separate the chaff from the substance.

I don't know how many donate to this site, but I feel as a donor I am entitled to a bit kinder and less heavy handed moderation.

I like Sub sim very much, and want it returning to the fun, and enlightened place it was.

By the way. I found the discussion about the ending splash screen to be filled with waaaaaay too much emotion. It is a fraggin game people, not a pro Nazi simulation.
