Myself and a few other members already mentioned this to him on the forum. Kinda defeats the point of pixel cars. (I use photoshop, but i use the pencil tool ofc)
Well I know for a fact that what i said was correct. Whether or not it was correct 1.5 years ago, maybe not. Maybe It was longer - but at one stage PCL was how i described it. Maybe if you was around the pixel car scene longer you would remember. The years tend to blend into each other... lol. But seriously, I could just as easily say that what YOU are saying is invented and stupid. Why is it automatically me thats got it wrong? Obviously I didn't literally mean 1 million cars >.<
But whatever, as you said, let's drop it. What I said still stands though - PCW is very different from PCL. (And not copied as some people naively think)

It isn't, but if you PM me i'll see what I can do

I think you should get your facts straight. I said "when I went on 1.5 years ago". Maybe it's changed now; I don't know, i don't use it. And yes they did reset the memberships, they sent an email saying if you don't sign on in the next X days, we're deleted your account. Furthermore I said "and I was like..." meaning, this is how it appeared to me. Or are we not allowed opinions around here either? Last time i went on, it was the way i described, end of. And I'm quite sure I've been around the pixel car scene, a lot longer than you.
Why are so many people on this forum so god damn pedantic. It's not a nice place to be. And i know for a fact I'm not the only person who thinks this.
BTW...
I am aware of the error thanks, i've contacted technical support and they're fixing it. The page still loads if press Ctrl-F5.

I don't know but it shouldnt be long until the pixelcarworld.com domain is up.
For some reason i cant get onto the temporary site either now - getting the same error. Grr. I could do without this.

That error is caused because the cookies aren't stored on the new domain. If you refresh you should be able to get on... But you'll get logged out all the time because cookies aren't being saved.
24-48 Hours. Depends on what country your in. The DNS has to change around the world. Should be up for us by tomorrow, maybe tonight.

Just a note, the site is down because im changing hosts. You can access a temporary URL here: http://pixelcarworldcom.ipage.com/
Send the message to everyone you can because the mass email isnt working!

Thank you. That is what I thought. And now I have stopped the plain-text password email, it's as secure as a forum needs to be.
Maybe now people can focus on the game, rather than security.
Okay I have fixed it, and found all the email text files which I will edit.
It now only sends your username and not the password.

I meant pedantic about comparing the point i made to the point he made.
But i understand completely that people are worried about security, especially these days, you can't be too careful.
To be honest with you, I didn't even know that the forum sent out passwords to peoples emails, seeing as I've never signed up to my own forum. But now i know about it, I will work on a solution.
I'll get back to you when i've found a solution.
Andy
And I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong. And i was wrong. I didn't think sending password through email as such as big deal, as a lot of sites do it. I now know that it could be a security flaw and I have been searching for a way to stop the forum sending them (As i didnt chose this, it was automatic).
But please stop being pedantic, what I said about thinking security wasn't a flaw, is not really related. I was just uninformed in that particular area, as you can see from my replies.

That is EXACTLY what i was aiming for, and i'm glad you can see it! I went on PCL about 1.5 years ago now, and i was like uhhh, what do I do? Why does everyone have there own shop, all charging different prices for parts? Why do people have 1 billion cars each? Why do members judge the races? (we have a formulaic calculation). Then they reset all the memberships and i haven't signed up since.
Andy
What he said was nonsense anyway. I have been running this forum for 4-5 years under various different names. I created the original without even knowing that PCL existed. So it was probably the same "original idea" that i got my inspiration from as PCL did. I can't remember the original name of my forum, but then it was changed to MCW (manga car world) for 2 years and now last year it was changed to PCW (pixel car world). It has been hosted on various boards - invisionfree, a free phpbb host and now an actual phpbb forum on domain and server. Oh, and i never said it was "original", obviously its not the first of its kind but its been going longer than pretty much all. Infact, most people are actually trying to rip us off now, there are many, many copies which have just directly copy and pasted our things. All our cars have been found, put onto the pcw base, and the specifications all written from scratch.
So I wish people would keep their opinionated nonsense to themselves, or at least get their facts straight! That's really f**ked me off - If only you knew how much work has gone into this over the past 4/5 years.
In response to your question BlakjeKaas:
Pixel car world is run completely differently. On PCL anyone can do what the hell they like basically, everyone has there own little part of the forum, nothing seems to match. On PCW we are more about being a fair game, there are more rules and it's about being realistic and fun. If you come on you will instantly see the different, its much more organised than PCL.

I second that, courier van drivers
My dad was swinging out to pull onto our drive, the van driver was reading something, not paying attention, said he thought my dad was pulling to the right, even though he had his left indicator on. Just wasn't paying attention more like. The driver lost his job in the end too, because he wasn't supposed to be where he was, he was using the van for personal duties lol.
Yet this forum sends passwords to your email too. Sigh.
You're all going on as if it's some military website or it has your bank details. Use a unique password and theres no worries, the worst that can happens is someone does something to your account.
This forum sending plain text email is a much bigger flaw, as its likely that people use the same password as their lfs account.

I dont get what the big deal about sending password via email is. Pretty much every site ive ever signed up to does that. It's not like you have any money / private details on pcw, so you should only be worried if someone has access / or can gain access to your email account. You could always go mad and delete the email >_>. Or if you mean that it could get intercepted, well, then its the email site thats flawed - and you shouldn't use the same password for every site anyway.
I'm glad you got it sorted. I actually recently updated the captcha verifcation image to make it EASIER lol. It was way harder than that before.
Your password has been encrypted using the new secure phpbb3 MD5 encryption - the safest encryption on any forum - so don't worry about that.
I'm sorry you don't like being emailed your password - but most people do.

Hi there sil3ntwar,
Im not sure what the problem is, nobody else has mentioned this problem?
If the question is "what is the name of the site" you can answer with: pcw, pixelcarworld or pixel car world.
If its "are you a spam bot" a simple "no" should suffice.
Andy
Oh, and we have to have the "stupid spam bot shit" because stupid spam bots keep spamming the website. Go figure.

Pixel Car World V3
Hey guys, some of you may remember this pixel cars game from last year.
Well, it is still going strong and the website has just been redesigned. The gameplay has been tweaked and we now have over 350 cars to chose from.
Come on over and check it out, you may find out that you enjoy it
If you don't, at least you had a look! But please, if you intend to stick around, read the guide - It explains everything you'll need to know about playing PCW.
