That's your decision, but you know I believe that bans only works when fairly given and when ppls learn from them, so I don't really agree with you banning him for something he hasn't done (yet)...HIR and R2R is enough for now, I hope he will learn and improve on other servers...give him a chance maybe...
I just wish that when someone has a problem they would try to resolve it in a more mature way, we all have websites and forum where you can discuss and post replay, so why always trying to expose negatively a team or a server on this forum...I don't get it and the consequences are often irreversible...
It is time again for a little announce!
Tonight TBO event is at AS3R and Wednesday GEN will be with MRT at SO1.
Good luck!

I have carefully watched the replay you've posted, I have also check our server log and read the server PM Mac sent you to explain that the racing on our servers was based on friendship and respect. I don't know you well, so I also checked your previous posts on this forum, this to find out that it is not the first time you find your self in this situation (e.g. http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=65181 )...
Also I saw that you took TVE's advise and sent a PM to mac:
and I am sorry to say that it is too childish to even comment on it!
Mac is a very fair 55 years old admin and getting banned by him is on it self a performance, GenerAL is one of the most respected driver in LFS, he is also a club member at R2R with admin rights on our servers, everyone can make mistakes but in this case it was not and I understand Mac didn't allow you to go on with your rant...
So after reviewing all those elements I have decided to extend the ban to make sure you will never have that problem again on our servers....
As you probably know ATI had released the 10.1 Catalyst driver, and I saw this morning that ATI had also released a Mass Effect 2 Hotfix graphics driver. This hotfix driver resolves the problem of Anti-aliasing not being available in Mass Effect 2 on CrossFireX configurations.
Nice suff Scott!!
Didn't know you were a RL racer, what position did you end up in the championship?

WOW almost 200 voters in 5 days, I am impressed, thx for taking the time guys!
Vote will not close, so keep voting and sharing if you haven't done it yet!
I guess this poll is slowly showing what I was expecting, with most voters being occasional TBO racers or event's fans.
This explains the ups and down and the reason why you don't see many busy TBO servers.
So we can accept it or we can start a crusade to convert those casual racers in to real TBO freaks like us!
Personally I came quite late to TBO, but since I started I got heavily addicted to the wtcc racing style, nothing better after a long working day than exchanging some paint with your friends...

THX in advance for your much needed feedback!

Well I still love racing on LFS and I am not planning on leaving anytime soon, but I have a code, never get angry at or in a games, games are to entertain us and not to get the anger out of us, sport works better if you ask me (try it ).
What's sad is if you want a very busy server today you have to close your eyes on many things, if you enforce strong policy to insure quality you can still maintain a nice server, but it will not be as busy as if you didn't...
A long time ago I chose not to close my eyes on anything I see, but I believe in second chances and short bans to give them a chance to improve...and I believe there is good in all of us!
I know we have a young public who likes to pickup fights and make intensive use of bad language, but I always think it is because of a lack of personality and maturity, after all you can't ask a 16 years old to act like an adult... of course it gets more complicated when an adult act like a kid...some will never grow up!
To come back on the original question, it looks like the chicken and egg story, is that because servers are not busy that ppls gets bored or is that because ppls get bored that servers are not busy?
I think we should all forget about development, they have made an error to announce things which are not coming as fast as expected, and it wrongfully became the source of all problems!
LFS is still my favorite sim like it is, so think about it, if you forget about new patches and concentrate on enjoying what we have, it will be a great surprise when they (finally) arrive!

Great work mate!
Yeah I know the GPU clients, about 4 times as fast as normal CPU client, but I have high end video cards and they tend to use a bit more power than I would like and I use them too much atm...
I have 2 CPU clients atm, but I will increase that later, wanted to give a chance to others to join us on time!
I have been very busy lately, but I will talk around about F@H and see if I can get us some new members!

Good to hear mate!!
We'll do our best, but you know that 100% will never be with racing, even in Formula1 they don't manage it....
Sadly for you the track this week is AS3R, an other 3 weeks left for the second part of Dailycious, soo I'll start a discussion in our forum for the next part, you are welcome to participate if you want....
After yesterday's event my FXO has to go to the paint shop for a complete job, dunno how I got that much Inferno paint everywhere lol
Was fun!
LOL Yankman, did you had a jump start?
http://kakaostats.com/t.php?t=178510
http://kakaostats.com/t.php?t=178510Nope it isn't, but like I said I bet if we restrict both XRT and FXO to RB4 level it will be RB4 race only....but it could be an idea
Tomorrow TBO will be at the classic BL1, and since the R2R guys have decided to jump start their training for the 6h from LFS Endurance Series next month, GEN server will be on WE1 with the GTR's!
Have fun!
Have fun!
I know it can be a little confusing , BL1 is also wrong btw...
, BL1 is also wrong btw...Thx AndRand, had a quick looks and noticed some things are wrong
AS2R XRT time min was 01:12:69 RB4 was 01:1 3:16 FOX was 01:12:50
AS7R FXO had min 02:16:77
Has you can see FXO and XRT are pretty close everywhere!

I do agree with you here, we've tested it intensively for almost a year now and we've seen some very good fights between the two, some tracks favor FXO and others XRT, but always quite close, the only track where FXO really dominated was KY2.
The tricky part was to balance our series between those tracks, but like you said FXO heats up tires a bit quick which means that race pace is quite a bit off qual pace, when the XRT can maintain race pace closer to qual pace...
For some stats you can jump on our TBO server and check the top which has an XRT leading BL1, but if you want detailed stats for the tracks we've raced since September, check this link http://www.ready2rollteam.com/airio/ (note that we use path check on our servers, so no pb’s are done by cutting the track)
I think FXO with 3% is a bit like FXR, they are fast cars but not many great drivers uses it, so it is quite difficult to compare them, but if I take Pallu as an example, he manages to put all 3 cars very close to eachothers, yes even the RB4 can go very fast in the right hands...
I have been thinking for a while about balancing the cars down to the RB4, but sadly many ppls don’t like restricted cars, so restricting 2 out of 3 maybe a bit too much….but I keep this idea somewhere in my head, maybe for a later dailycious series….
LOL I thought about you when I made this, I had my doubts it would be strong enough for you...it wasn't
Maybe I should have write it an other way, but I mean by love them all, the sprint the races and the cars....so it's all good..
Many other topic to talk about racing system, let's keep this on track and between TBO lover.
We run a TBO server with restricted FXO and no licenses required to race the sprints racing and we run airio, so the application (tracker) is not in question here....
What kind of TBO driver are you?
Many ppls complains about TBO’s ups and downs, so I got curious and wanted to ask what kind of TBO driver are you?
In the last couples of years I have seen TBO go from very popular to completely dead without any apparent reasons, so I am getting the feeling that most TBO racers are occasional racers, let see if this poll will prove me wrong….
Be honest!

Sorry I've been away for a couples of days.....
Well I don't see how ppls's stupidity does make F@H or BOINC bad things or like you said ''cancer''??
Taking exceptions and generalizing is never a good thing, that is what xenophobia and racism does.... I believe most F@H members are good reliable ppls who want to help in an honest way!
They are working on real problems and offering real solutions to simulate things which were not previously possible...so they are in no way responsible for the ''stupid'' ppls abusing other’s networks.
I am a system builder specialized in custom installations and I've worked with many network managers the last 12 years, allowing services and applications installations on workstations has always been known as a big problem, I don't understand how you waited for F@H to make you realize that? is that not why things like Group Policy has been integrated to windows?
Anyway, I do agree with you that apps like F@H should be installed only on our machines, but if you do install it on a friend’s machine make sure he does understand fully what it means… never use a machine without authorization…
Sincerely I don’t see how 500 fans could have died from running one year at max T/m as long as they are running inside specifications? Going on and off and the variable speed is often what kills them….
If something like that would happen to me, I would ask Dell to research the problem with their fans and to replace them for free....
Personally I don’t use dynamic frequency scaling ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling ) on my CPU’s because it is known to cause problems in gaming, that said when testing my main rig (quad core TDP 65W) with or without 4 x F@H clients I noticed a jump of +/-30W compared to my normal daily use (GPU running LFS uses a lot more)… and personally I like to know where the money I give for charity goes and with F@H I can read about every project which are uploaded to my clients…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home
So if you are still interested to join us, here is the team name and team number:
LFS Community F@H page: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cg ... ampage&teamnum=178510
LFS community Team number: 178510
After writing this I will start the first client for this team and build up from there…
Happy folding!

Sorry if I say it was an uneducated comment...
Of course Global warming and energy usage are definitely important issues, and I won't sidetrack the entire thread to debate this issue. But it's worth considering that the energy spent folding is going to be spent somewhere by someone - even if it's done by supercomputers in laboratories. The search for curing certain diseases and understanding the human body better is a very important one which is going to continue unabated, and by distributing the work it simply speeds it up.
It should also be considered that we waste an inordinate amount of physical and human resources - and hence add a lot more to global warming - in the continuing treatment of diseases which could otherwise be cured for good. Imagine how much less energy could be used in the future if we find cures or simple treatments for major long-term diseases like Cancers, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, AIDS and so forth. The amount of energy used to produce the medicines, machines and treatments for these diseases is huge, so folding could be a potential way to prevent even larger energy wastage in the future.

Good to hear Crashgate!
Thx arco, but all is ready, we just need the go from an admin...we'll give them a bit of time to answer...or we'll just start from here...
