I use some circles cut out of dense rubber mouse mat as vibration isolation feet for all my components. I have some very expensive Quad speakers, an Arcam CD player and Rotel amplifier as the main Hi Fi, then I have someJVC and Sony mini systems in other rooms of the house.
The main hi fi was a present to myself when I returned to uk from my ex-pat time in Saudi, I figured it would be the only time I could afford to treat myself to such a system
That's great work. Can I suggest you start a new thread for Kyoto track texture updates and preview shout + comments? Let's leave this one as Blackwood-related stuff?
Just watch out, any following cars, for the flying tyres!
I recall hearing some time last year that an LFS crack or a potential one had a virus attached, it was before the time of patch V.
Did they fine you for time wasting during studies?
Rather cunningly all the track dds textures are stored inside a folder cleverly called dds. Open this up and fire up photoshop. We shall look forward to a rainbow tarmac mod from you.
I think we've covered all angles of this fascinating debate here now. Next up, a dog that skateboards.
Demo users are exercising their right to freedom of choice. They play and hopefully enjoy the demo version freely provided for them. Don't have a go at them for playing and enjoying some stripped down version that's provided free. If you want to have a go at anyone, then have a go at the people who invented the game and decided to share a bit of it for free. It beats me why any S2 member would feel resentment at those people who still get pleasure from the demo, how onearth can it affect their own lives?
I don't mind demo users asking for more. Ask away, you probably won't get anything but there's no harm asking, in a way that is non-offensive.
To a very small minority of smug lynch-mob s2 members: why do you feel the need to be so offensive to Scawen's potential next customers? It just shows yourselves up in a very negative light. Now you may not care one jot about that but ask yourself if you honestly feel you are contributing positively to this community here by this attitude? If not, then please keep your attitudes to yourselves, we don't need it here.
these comments are not aimed at any one person, please be clear, but a tiny minority mindset that I would rather go back to screaming at eachother over other games.

The ridiculously massive one went into the bin where it belonged
Your link points to the abridged, exciting version.
There was a ridiculously massive debate about this last year. Please let's not resurrect that entire discussion thread once more, it's as dull and pointless today as it was originally.
Two years? You really shouldn't believe everything other people tell you, lerts
The page has been moved to the admin subforum for further investigation.
Please guys, no naming and shaming here while the situation is being investigated 
This could be where the imminent polarity reversal of the earth's magnetic fields lends a hand then. As the polarities reach zero point and the Gauss drops away we'll get flooded with cosmic gamma radiation. If you hold your trombone up above your head on a high mountain at the point of reversal it will certainly become critically radioactive then you can fulfill yuor true destiny.
Where on earth do you get this stuff from?
?
?
Have I missed something here. An amateur explorer states some off-the-wall bunkum about cosmic radiation controlling human mind patterns and everyone has to rush round defending why it is not so?
Surely before this stuff is believed, there has to be some rational proof and discussion of the mechanisms involved? In my view it is not so, until evidence and investigation has shown it to be so.

Oh, I thought there was huge reams of evidence in its favour now, so that even the more sceptical accept it. Super-accelerated particles with known half-lives far exceeding (tens of hundreds of times longer) their natural lifespan when observed in chambers where they are accelerated closer to light speed. Have I misunderstood this?
The truth of the matter is the earth's magnetic field has gone through reversals of polarity at regular intervals through geological time, and is shown be examination of sea bed core samples from around the world. My memory fails me to remind me of the timescale involved but the reversal is quite sudden, and maybe once every 10,000 - 50,000 years. So this will be the first time it has happened when Man and society are witness to it. I don't think we'll all get fried but at least GPS is well enough advanced so we'll all be able to cope when our compasses go doolally for a month.
Do you really believe this stuff, or are you just inviting argument/debate?

AGree, Hz-Lab. Also amazed how many posts this thread has attracted.
(Including my own!)
My view on this is the forum exists to support the LFS community. It is not a general find-a-friend forum. While I like to see a flavour of more esoteric and philosophical discussions appearing in the O/T section, when there is a member who ONLY posts O/T stuff like this inviting debate then I'm not personally happy with it. When your only reason for being a part of the LFS community is to discuss O/T stuff rather than contribute positively to lfs-related issues then they are likely to end up getting flamed.
Yep, sorry, that website link is waste of electricity, its fantasy schoolboy sci fi speculation and needs to get filed alongside conspiracy theorists and Eric Von Daniken books.
First you should ask what you hope to achieve by removing the post count. Reduction in spamming? Increase in general quality of posts?
Disagree, that is not the way to get a solution. That lies with the whole spirit of the community here, the individuals and the support of the game.
I don't think the post count reflects a positive involvement in the community unless you go through and look at all the individual posts.
Neither does it relfect a negative involvement. It's just a statement of how many posts they've made. They could equally well be a total spamateur or a dedicated and helpful supporter of the game. Post count says no more than that. It is irrelevant as a marque of quality or dedication.
You should have a third option in your poll for -irrelevant.
