Jan. 26, 1997 - Neal creates his first website, The Deep Domain, a collection of submarine related pages, including the USS Cavalla webpage. Neal starts getting e-mails from other subsim devotees. Among them is Jim Atkins who runs the well-designed Silent Hunter Home Page. As a new section of the Deep Domain, Neal's SUBSIM Reviews debuts on the Internet. The entire website consisted of six subsim reviews and an e-mail link. A few weeks later the first of what would be thousands of e-mails trickled in. It was a question about getting Wolfpack to run on a 486.

From the Subsim online calendar.

Thank you, Markus!

Yeah, it's been a rewarding hobby. I've met a thousand great people through Subsim, was honored to be invited to see new submarine games in development, and gone to sea for a day on two different nuclear subs, the USS Houston and USS Texas. And it all stated in 1996 when I signed up for Internet service with local ISP Computron, and the owner said, "Here is your dial-up log in info, and you get 1MB of web space for a homepage." ,,,and I thought, hmmm...homepage, what should I do with that?

Häppy subsim day to y'all!

Welcome to adulthood, subsim! Special thanks to Neal for creating this website and keeping it alive and kicking!

Not everybody's pleased though:

It's just a fad. It'll never last.

Seriously, 16 years is not a bad run. To celebrate, I'm installing my just delivered, brand new copy of SH4 onto my brand new computer!

Ok, it's just a coincidence.
