1. How often do you visit SHI? Daily - usually a few times a day.
2. Do you find it personally useful to you? SHI has been extremely useful to me in finding non american horses to bring into my stables.
3. What's the best / most useful part here in your opinion? Definitely the sales portion. It groups all the different countries horses for sale together and it makes it easy to find horses that Im looking for.
4. Any ideas how could we reach even more simmers from new countries? Just keep advertising and spreading the word about how great SHI is!
5. Other comments? I love this site. Im glad the idea was put into motion!

1. every day
2. yes i've sold horses and i'm looking for new blood for my own stable
3. sales site and the competition site
4. advertising, advertising, advertising
5. I wonder if we can get a forum where you can search for the parents of our new, self-created horses, as horse breed you want to create is perhaps not so popular in one's own country.

1. How often do you visit SHI? Every day to check.
2. Do you find it personally useful to you? Oh yes! It's great to speak about virtual world with other countrys and buy and use horses from other countrys.
3. What's the best / most useful part here in your opinion? The sale-area!
4. Any ideas how could we reach even more simmers from new countries? Search on google for other countries boards, and make advertising there!
5. Other comments? It's a great board, I like it very much and I like it, to be here (:

1. How often do you visit SHI? about once a day, sometimes more often, sometimes a day not.. 2. Do you find it personally useful to you? I'm not so much into breeding, buying and selling horses. So it's more fun than use I would describe it. 3. What's the best / most useful part here in your opinion? I like the area for discussing things and the stallion's request area to see if my guys are needed And I will enter some shows when I have the time to look through everything. 4. Any ideas how could we reach even more simmers from new countries? Maybe searching google for 'exotic' sim stables and post in there guest books or send them an email, if they do have a sim community too to post the advertisments. 5. Other comments? No - I also like the board a lot and I hope we get more SIM stable owners joining the community (:

1. Daily, and more often if I posted something or am waiting for a response to a post. 2. Definitely 3. The sales and the ability to make requests for horses that haven't turned up in sales. 4. Take a list of the boards that have already been posted in, then ask if member's play in any other boards, and advertise in those/ask members to advertise in those. 5. I hope to see more simmers join the board

Thank you for answers up to this! (more are still welcome) zenji, I'm sorry, I didn't really get your point? Like a board to look for borh dam and sire? Yes, we have that at SISF and it's very useful. Ex. i have created a SWB and I don't have any SWB of my one. So i write in that board and if somone have horses that they want to be my new horses parents they write an answer in that board, i can just link theire horses in my new horses pedigree and thire horses have a new offspring In this way you don't always need to have Real Life horses in you pedigrees and now when wee have this wounderfull site it's a super opportunity I hope you understand better now but i can't promise anything XD

Now I understand! So you obviously don't use just made-up names in the pedigrees, which are not sim horses nor real horses? We use them, just imagined names which cannot be connected to an existing horse, a lot in Finland if we don't have parents for a horse, so that kind of requests are extremely rare.
But yes, I can make that possible. Do you think it'd be enough if I expanded the Stallion requests to Stud requests, and it would be open for stallion and mare as well as parent searching?

gespenst: you can use meade-up namnes but i think sweds for the most of time use alredy med-up sim horses of real life horses in the pedigree. It's my view anyway.
oh that sounds really great, thank you

Ok, well, here it shows up how different habits different countries have I'll edit the stallion request board to a larger one, just a minute!

1. How often do you visit SHI? - Once or twice a week, sometimes seldomly.
2. Do you find it personally useful to you? - As I have so few SIM-horses of my own and I'm not looking for new ones at the moment, I cannot say I find this forum useful. Entertaining? Yes. Useful? No.
3. What's the best / most useful part here in your opinion? - International Stud Book.
4. Any ideas how could we reach even more simmers from new countries? - Just keep on advertising, they'll emerge eventually.
5. Other comments? - Nope.

1. How often do you visit SHI? Daily - usually a few times a day.
2. Do you find it personally useful to you? SHI has been extremely useful to me in finding non american as well as american horses to bring into my stables.
3. What's the best / most useful part here in your opinion? Definitely the sales portion. But also the world cup thing, that helps promote some of my stock, as well as myself as a trainer and breeder.
4. Any ideas how could we reach even more simmers from new countries? Keep on advertising. More members seem to join at least every week, which is awesome.
5. Other comments? It's a great site, a great idea and it has really brought together people from all over the world, which I love.
