No im just defending very end against personal attacks, I think you are being a spokesperson for the FM community here and it is very VERY sad to see the lengths you are going to, to pursue an argument.
I would encourage everyone watching this thread to have a long hard think at why this thread is going our of control, and why it has spiralled into this. Fair enough about discussing the server or any issues but please keep personal attacks out of it.
*sighs* because flame wars really dont have much place here, and seriously don't start on me because i've been more than civil in here - and just to clarify - veryend has said nothing but the truth in here, so you can take your elitest little community and leave the thread alone...

well kindly shut up and stop with a bleeding flame war - the pair of you grow up and just move on - christ
I think that the drafting has to be tweaked because its simply far too powerful, it reminds me of a racing game at times with it.
I think maybe a 3-5mph boost in speed when slipstreaming someone instead of nearly 10 would be better, and also would allow for tighter racing.
I'm not a big fan of bumping either, it gives the group a slightly unfair advantage.
Now to address some previous questions:
1. Why are we STILL named (OM): We are not going to change our name simply because it's not convenient to other servers, we aren't FM, we don't want to be FM and we will NEVER be FM. (OM) was started by a disgruntled group of regulars from the FM server, (OM) stays to show that.
2. Noobs on the oval: This still really annoys me, about how elitist everyone gets and distances themselves from new racers, sure you might think a lot of "noobs" are simply wreckers and have no interest in racing, but if you actually take 5 minutes from your dictatorship and talk to them, give them a setup and give them a few tips, it's quite cool to see the difference that makes. Most of them can keep the car stable, keep up with the pack and actually feel like there racing.
3. Ban's: Well we just had to ban our first person last night, for deliberatly standing on the track and having a very poor attitude. He will be unbanned and is very welcome to think about his behaviour and actually have a proper race with us, It took us 15 minutes to ban him last night, as we were all on ventrillo and really REALLY not wanting to ban anyone. But it seemed as if thats what he was gunning for. *sighs*
4. Being Different: right let's get something straight, we are a racing community, so unfortunatly thats something we will always share with some other servers, however we differ from our friendly approach to running the server, our non-abusive admins who encourage all racers, and the amount of new faces we have seen in the server. We don't slag people off, We have a clear restart policy, We do NOT judge ourselves to be above the racers and we want everyone on the server to enjoy themselves as much as you can while going 215mph round a concrete circuit.

got it working on the hosted server - just learned about the NOHUP switch
lol you have to realise to get all this setup in like a day and a half - we still have things we have to change lol, and come on the server ... we'll get you setup 
The server is for any skill and ANYONE is welcome, we will help you with setups, tips about the racing line to take.. racing etiquette and anything else you may need...
Also - I just actually seen what you meant - the message when connecting to the server ... changing it

lol the post was posted by a fan of the server, respect is given to EVERYONE on the server, automatically !
That is why the community is going to be so open, the only difference betwee n admins and normal racers is that we are responsible for paying to keep the hosting services running and are in charge of the website and the race server etc...and generally oversee races and help racers....

Being one of the admins on the server, I have to say thanks to Elanor lol I had no idea he was posting away and promoting the server, well done you!
Anyways, the Oval Munkys server was started off after a few regulars of another server became pissed off at the way it was run and masked as a community when they really picked and chose who was to be involved and part of that community, our community is going to be for everyone who wants to be part of it, regardless of your skill.
We offer a basic shared setup for the F1 cars and encourage for races to be a bout improving driver skill, rather than slating your opponents and a constant torrent of abuse.
As for the text spam, I agree completely... but how much of the complained spam was from the server and how much was contributed by admins !
At OM we are also running LFSLapper, but are still tweaking and deciding what settings shall be on and what shall be off, we are also working on a privacy mode so with a comment like !silence in chat the plugin will not send messages to that player... Some people find the data useful - some don't, we want to give racers that choice.
Please feel free to drop in the server in the next few weeks while we finalize everything, in the past two days we have went from a pissed off group, to the core of a racing community with great ideas, a fast server and the desire to include everybody who wants to be a part of it.

right, im a bit of a nub when using linux... Im trying to get this working on a dedicated linux server.. which it does perfectly, but I want to have it running 24/7 - anyone know how to execute a command that will stay running even after i disconnect from the terminal ?
OH MY GOD @ Rallycross crash lolol - weeeeeee pinball
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
That is all...
That is all...
So your entitled to vote because you raced in olfsl one year ? - in that case everyones eligible to vote because "it might affect them next year"
I think you'll find this topic concerns ACTIVE Olfsl members, so kindly stop trolling
lol, I say nothing ... but remember by dropping pools they also drop a heck of a lot of points...
right ive spoken to fiendi and finally managed to put my point across - i wanted to raise the issue and nothing more :-) and juluppu i dont just want em telling us whats what - i think they should spank us too 
hehehee just kidding..
hehehee just kidding..This is really getting out of hand and a little bit too much drama for my liking...
First off - this is a forum, people are perfectly entitled to share their opinions... and that goes for everyone - and im sure from reading this time and time again, NO-ONE has been attacked...
Make no mistake about it - this could have been ANY admin Mrs, but i really do think you need to calm down and look at this subjectively, every single one of us racing in the league would like to thank all admins for the time and the effort they put into the league... it is very much appreciated.
I think we should wait for the results of the poll and discuss what the outcome is.
lol dont start like that - as the league becomes more popular, im afraid that you cant be nice and keep everyone happy, you have to start being strict and enforcing the rules with everyone *hugs*
Right but, lets look at the other side of the picture, the admin was trying to be friendly as they have all season, so i think we should just let this one slide and hope that it doesnt happen again
lol rubbish there were cars on the same lap as you that didnt pit - you were doing consistent 1:19's, while i have no problem with you being fast, it does remove some of the motivation to other drivers, I think this weekend has been a very VERY difficult one for the admins, I stand behind their decisions 100% but I think this issue needs to be raised so it doesnt happen again..
I disagree completely, i don't see how you can be strict on one rule and leniant on another, i feel if you are not racing in your pool - its a DNS, no buts and no racing in other pools...
Im not sure about downloading the actual comments but i was thinking more of a short-ish podcast with results news etc, with myself and someone else... any volunteers?
I totally didnt gather that from racername = FF blackout then
