Thanks for al the fish!

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.
PS: Moderators please feel free to remove my account and purge my details and posts, thanks.

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 do hope you'll reconsider and return Shaun....but if uou feel unable....fair winds and following seas

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.

all I know is I am glad they closed the posts. The site is easier to enjoy.

Hello Member. Since we feel the need to call me out, I feel the need to reply.

The thread in question was closed because the question posed by a particular member was answered by the site administrator himself. Opening up another thread to repeat the same question is not necessary, and is something that can and should be taken via a private message. The message thereafter was quite simple: The discussion of cracks, hacks or piracy will not be tollerated. There has been a rash of such activity on this board in the past few months. If you recall, we were nice about the matter. This has not stemmed the tide. The time for pleasantry in this matter has passed.

Regarding the thirteen threads of patch discussion, it is inappropriate to have this many threads devoted to a single topic of which virtually nothing is factually known. Since it is nearly all chaff, it is common practice to place it into a single thread. This has been done repeatedly over the past decade. I am sorry that you did not approve in this case.

And what about some members get over zealous too.

The rules are quite simple and clear: if some folks want to discuss about cracks, hacks or piracy, they can do it wherever they want but not here.

Isn't it clear and simple?!?

So swastikas and third reich eagles is ok, but talking about a perfectly legitimate topic about the same games that have started this very board (which would not be here if not for the GAMES) is prohibited. Nice.

By the way,

The fact that Moderators have something to do with the 1.2 patch not been already released wouldn't surprise me ...



Just kidding


Going out ...
