Okay, I rounded the later up slightly wink

This is crazy. Like a lot of my fellow combatsim.com refugees (comrades, I salute you!), I've been on this site for twenty years now. Or in other words, for a little over half my life.

It's really mindboggling to think how much has changed since... how much I personally have changed... And yet very reasuringly, this place has stayed quite the same.

There are many fine human beings here who could crash at my place anytime, and I know the same holds true in reverse.

Thankful for having been a part of this place for so long,

Helmut

PS: Also thankful none of my employeers knows my post count here, least they do the math on how many workplace minutes I spent elsewhere wink

Congrats! And yes, time does seem to fly rather quickly, and even though a lot has changed, even around here, it's nice to have a little stability from a crowd that has been here a while.

Great post Helmut and congrats on your 20 year SimHQ anniversary! I believe you are the only Austrian member of SimHQ that I know about.

There were at least two other Viennese guys in the EAW Board (both I've met), but they aren't active anymore.

I do see that I have the questionable honor of being the most active Euro member. biggrin

I'd say about 75% of my posts on SimHQ I do from work. The other 25% are done from home or from my smartphone while I'm on vacation somewhere. biggrin

Congrats, Helmut! My own anniversary is coming up in March smile


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

I was just looking at the top 10 posters on SimHQ and realized that 7 of them have been gone from the site for a long time.

Pretty surreal. Even more satisfying than watching an odometer roll over.

^ That's a pretty apt comparison biggrin

Thanks guys. Yeah, a lot more due for their second decade here. I just checked, and surprisingly enough, combatsim.com is still around. Sans Paywall :P
