Okay, if this is posted anywhere I apologize. However, I just whipped out the old Windows calculator, and as of right now, these Subsim forums are home to 1,049,891 posts.
That's right - over ONE MILLION POSTS!!! The Radio Room flourishes!!! Now I don't want to make Mr. Neal Stevens blush, but this is absolutely incredible! Post your Subsim stories here for posterity, and please join me in congratulating Neal and Subsim on cracking his first MILLION! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() Also, if I'm not mistaken there were forum entries even before those but have since been lost. Anyway, I reckon SS passed 1 million years ago. Also, why the Calc? The post count is at the bottom of the main forum page. ![]()

And the old forum doesn't count. Cuz I said so. Still, with people celebrated their 500th, 1000th, 2000th, etc., posts, Subsim's cracking a million should be a big deal - at least in my opinion. |

There was time where the future of sub sim and hence this site looked bleak.
But ever since Silent Hunter III game publishers finally reckon that submarine simulation has a huge faithful followers but they missed the point that good game design is a prerequisite to successful selling especially with the usually more demanding simulation audience hence they came out with Silent Hunter IV. One or two more titles like that and submarine simulation publishers can see over half of their potential customers quitting their sub sim hobby. It's not about coming out with what gamers want but rather to make the gamers wanting the game! Setting trends rather following them is the mantra of hugely successful story. As for me I'm hooked since the day of sub command. I admit the majority of sub simmers here play only Silent Hunter series. ![]()

My subsim story goes like this...
Once... in the middle of some foggy North Atlantic night while on patrol, i decided i wanted more out of Silent Hunter 3. better graphics, more ships, better weather engine etc etc so i googled "Mods for Silent Hunter 3" and bam located this jewel of a place. My first Silent Hunter 3 mod was Rub 1.45 back in January of 2006, from there i tinkered with various mods for about a year before joining the forum and settling in with the Grey Wolves mod which eventually became GWX. Subsim.com forums has been a daily visit for me for 3 years and 7 months running (save the occasional power / internet outage or vacation) , I have made several friends here, met many of them at the subsim meet last year... i do not expect my membership here to end voluntarily any time soon.

I think I found Subsim when I was looking for solution to my graphical glitch in Dangerous Water.
