Title: Thank You
Post by: Aad The Pirate on February 22, 2009, 18:09:22
Ahoy Ship(sim)mates
I know there are a lot of people around here who will help You and Me and everybody with all kind of stuff, And most of the time people do appreciate it, but sometimes just forget to say Thank You to that person.
So, for starters, I will give a big Thank You  :thumbs: to Tore, aka TJK for making me that signature I'm using right now.
Further a big Thank You to Marty (mmvsmith). Due to his straight critics he put me right where I belonged at my first mont's on this Forum. In the beginners-league, and out of the masterclass where I thought I belonged in.
Thanks to all Guys and Gals on this Forum, and again a special one to Carl.
Without his help on certain subjects I'm sure SS08 was gone the way of all other sims I bought. Into the big shoebox and ready for the fleamarket.
I'm sure I forgot a mass of people, but One of them is unforgettabla.
Yes, Terry, I'm reffering to You. Thank You for giving me the opportunity to meet You 'In the Flesh ;D ' and the wonderfull hours we spent together.
And last but not least: Thank You, Dana, for Your nice company and for Your courage walking me and my wife to the Tramway in that Icy eve. :thumbs:

Thanks to you and your wife for the pleasant conversation and kindness you showed to Dana and myself during our visits.

Thanks, Fred for all of the fun and hard work!

Thanks, Luc for all of your hard work with the vessels.

Thanks Marty for your keen wit and precise observations, and for all the hard work you put in behind the scenes.

Thanks Traddles, Sadsid, HughGammon, DesHealey, Rooster24 for the work that you all put in here, behind the scenes.

Thank you, to everyone around here who has helped me, Thank you to the moderators and admins like fred and terry, who, encourage me to get all my projects done. Thank you. Everyone here is a big help. This place is kinda like a small city you know?
Title: Re: Thank You
Post by: Agent|Austin on February 22, 2009, 20:40:32
I would want to thank you all for not thanking me for nothing I didn't thank.

Edit: Fine

Fred - For always being there in my ups & downs

Carl - For being one of my best friends everr.

Tore - We have put aside or differences and no longer fight. ;D

Master Captain - FV Northwestern fan, been friends ever since, going to meet this summer

ShipAddict - I love your [jokes] about me being Mr. Sad & "one of the most modest people I've had the misfortune to meet"



I guess that is really all the main things, thank you everyone else for making this forum what it is!

Post by: Kevinmcg_ships on February 22, 2009, 20:52:39
I only noticed my name up there on the list, thanks Terry!  :thumbs:

This is a great online community too, I have seen a lot of people wanting to help each other if someone has a problem, or just want to share good practices ("How to Build Your Own Controller" and tutorial threads are  good examples) or even share jokes in Small Talk. Also picture of the month is a nice way of sharing everyone's love of ships, whether it's a screen grab from ShipSim or photos of real ships.

Keep up the good work guys - I've often found this forum to be the only sane place in this crazy world (or should that be vice-versa ?!  ;D ;))

If I click 'members' on the toolbar of the forum it says showing 1-30 of 32235 members. I think you are looking at the bottom of the page which presumably includes members who have left!!

Where do i start  ;D

Thanks to all the members here, especaially the moderators for the tremendous efforts that go towards keeping us all happy and sorting out all the techy problems with patience just so we caa enjoy ShipSim even more.

IRI5HJ4CK - We;ve known each other from the start, we've had some great fun on multiplayer and you've managed to put up with me for 13 months now without moaning :lol: Can't forget that Irish sense of humour  ;D

SA - We've had some great fun on MP as well, and you've helped me out a lot with my 3D models, especially the Red Osprey.

Carl- We sometimes don't get along too well but we've had some great times on ShipSim and you're a great guy to talk with.

Ballast - Also great fun to play with on MP and thank you for all those piccies you've shared with me and for the advice for the future.

Tore - Thanks for the sigs and you've put up with me requesting a new one every 3 hours  ;D

RMSGreatBritain - Great to chat with, not played much on SS with you but we've certainly had some fun online RaceDriver GRID on the PlayStation 3 - I'm still the better driver, and you owe me for that dent in my BMW  :P  ;D

And all those firneds who sadly are no longer around much more, Aida, Fox, Rafax, Iglo, Saphire, Freddy, James, and sorry if i've forgotten any of you.

How can i forget - Thanks VSTEP!! If it wasn't for you we'd all be on the Hangsim forum being moaned at by all the no-funs  ;D Or worse still, we may not even of met each other if you hadn't created ShipSim..so thanks!

Er, No, you're not. :lol: Oh, but yer soz about that bmw dent. Oh, WELCOME BACK!

Now we can get back to me thrashing you on Grid like I always do! ;D

I sent all your thank you's to carl. He is in such denial. :)

"Thanks for the messages from the forum :-)

Very nice of them to say what they did, but I really don't need any thanks, I was only doing my job after all :-)

I wouldn't have been a very good Moderator, if I didn't do my job right ;-)"

Gloat-another true friend. brilliant person. also very intersting.

So I better type nothing
Title: Re: Thank You
Post by: TerryRussell on February 25, 2009, 22:10:23
But you and I have had some interesting conversations. You've been polite and I've enjoyed those conversations.

Same with Gloat, who I also thanked.

And a lot of others. (see above for the roll-call!).

The thing to remember is that although I may sometimes grumble and tell people off, I don't carry grudges. Although there seems to be a general feeling that I've banned a lot of people, I actually have the lowest count of almost all the moderators. I probably do the most grumbling, but I also post the most. The vast majority of my posts have been either jokes or fixes for people's various problems. I've enjoyed that immensely.

, I really do thank all those people and the hundreds I've missed out.

Post by: Season on August 12, 2009, 01:31:36
Nice topic, very sweet. :) Though the topic is old, I still think it is appropriate to post this...

My first thanks goes out to...

Carl - For always being there for me. Simply everything. I was heartbroken when I came back to the Ship Simulator forums, realizing you quitted. But I know it wasn't your choice. I miss you immensely, and I wish you would come back some time. I need a tissue now... (yes, I'm extremely sensitive)

Then we have...

Fred - You are amazing. I really like you, you are very polite and funny, and I appreciate you for every time you have helped me out. I hope I can have many more laughs with you. :2thumbs:

Terry - I'd like to thank you as well for every time you helped me out. Just like Fred, you make an amazing administrator, keep up the awesome work! ;D

Saltydog - Being there for me as a friend. Missing the old days, when we talked a lot. ;)

Stuart - Same counts for Stuart, I've had good talks with you and I hope there are many more to follow :thumbs:

Wout (and the others deciding about it back in the old days) - Giving me the opportunity to be a Forum Moderator. I felt like I achieved something to be proud of (though it was a silly application, but whatever), but just not anybody can be a moderator, so I was proud of myself anyway, and it was like that all the time it lasted. Thank you :).

Vstep - This is obvious. Thanks! :2thumbs:

Like Terry said in page 1, this feels like quitting, but never mind. ^^
