Questions for the SubSim community

Hello!

My name is Tommy Reinking and I'm a freelance games journalist. I learned of the SubSim genre of games and the community on a podcast, and was surprised that I had never heard of it before. I've been exploring the site for a bit, and this community and site is fascinating! It's not often you find a website from the 90's still running and with an active community! I'd love to ask some questions to the community to learn more about you all. I was given permission to post here by Neal Stevens.

If you could all be so kind, I have a few questions! Feel free to answer as many or as few as you'd like.

1) How long have you been a member of the SubSim community here at the site?
2) What is it about the site that keeps you a member?
3) What is it about this website that has allowed it to survive for nearly three decades while other video game websites have died out?
3) Are there other places (Discord, Reddit, other social media) where you go to for the SubSim community?
4) If you're a member who's been here for years or decades, what are some of your favorite memories of being a member of the SubSim community/site from the 90's, 2000's, or 2010's?
5) Anything else you'd like to say about the website or community or anything you think is important?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions!
