I want to thank patrykbajger for my vote and only vote I've got..
I don't think with zero votes I would have tried again to compete here

Gratz to MonTziK95 by far the best entry, got my vote to.

Even if the votes showed my was the worse of all the entries, I don't think it was that bad and in my opinion better then som.. But I guess I have to grow in here so other come to know me better and see more of my work before I will get some more votes..

Or maybe it is a learning process on what flavour of art they like around here... will .

Quote from dekojester :

For what it's worth, and for anyone who doesn't retry to login every so often, I've just successfully logged in to TCAdmin and all servers seem to be back.

This is of course only on the LFS end, not sure of the status of (and I personally have no stake in) any Web Hosting cPanel status issues

Thanks for te information.. Service indeed back online.. but still not a word from Dean...I'm wondering...

Quote from boothy :

Then why the hell do you a) keep paying Dean for sub-standard service, b) not have any good server redundancy for your league and c) not bother to make a post on the forum asking if someone has a server? There's almost 700 S2 servers online, I'm sure someone would've been able to lend you one if you asked... :rolleyes:

Indeed, that is my point exactly.. IF we would know how long this problem would hold.. So why bothering someone to occupy his server if maybe the 500server problem is solved in a few hours.. IF yes IF we would know what is going on or when it could be solved.. but indeed .. Nothing and even now.. Still nothing we know what is going wrong !!

Will it be fixed this week ?? who know..

Quote from dadge :

I've told franky of the issues and he's told me that he can't get to a computer at the minute and he'll get it all sorted ASAP.
That's all the info i have folks. sorry. :/

Thanks indeed for the information.. At least someone who's take some aktion..
But we were hoping on some action from Dean himself..

This year I was planing to go to the service of Gaming-solutions.com as last year we had a little to much server down time, late responses and also no news when somethings was going wrong..

But Dean convinced me he would resolve this problems in the future.
He realized it was to much for one person to handle, so in times of server down, he promised to get more man power to resolve those problems.
He also promised to get a more stable service of servers and network connection.. And at last he promised to keep us informed on what was going wrong..

What have we got from those promises ?? NOTHING .. Last night we had a league race .. ANd no server.. So I had to host it myself.. with lag problems as result, craches .. and very unhappy and frustrated racers !! That is not what I've paid for...

Is it really to much to ask what is happening, what the status is and what time we have to wait to have the problem resolved ?? If we at least knew how long it would take to resolve the problem, we would have the time to inform the racers and search for another solutions as not all the servers are down .I'n sure we could find a stable server to have the race on a stable and large enough broadband connection .. But what do we here ?? Nothing nada..

I really hope Dean learns from this and even if it takes time to write a message.. to take the time to inform his clients !!

And I know , when the problems are solved, Dean will compensate us again with an extra month.. but that is NOT what we want !! We want him to invest those free mounts he would give in that extra person, stable servers and the time to inform us when needed !!

Very unhappy League owner..

Even no reaction still ??? DOES NOT LOOK GOOD !!! HAVE league race in about 7 hours from here !!! FIX this please!!!! And at least KEEP US informed of the problem status.

Dean, you promised a lot when I reassigned to 500 servers... to keep us informed, recruting more people to help you, more stable environment .. We don't see any results yet from those decisions .. If you at least made them !! A C T I O N !!!! 7 hours AND counting !!!!

Same Story here Server not online "liveforspeed.be" and no control panel ....
why does that happen most of the time during the weekend when most racers find the time to race :/

not a lot of entries yet ...

Here's my entry and due to time limit also final entry
I hope some like the effort .

I've used one external Image for the dust and to see the behavior of the car/wheels as the force of impact pushes the wheels to the limits of the suspension.

Many greetings
Hanziboy

I really hope they come back online in the first hours to follow !!!

We do have an official race this evening 20.30 CET !!!! And we do need a lot of practice before to !!!

Dean promised to give some work out of his hands and promised he would not be the only person to fix things.. THAT was one of my main reasons why I renewed the services at 500servers for another year.

But where is that promise ?? Where is that other person to help us out when Dean can't ??

Very disappointing experience again this last weeks .. And bought drop outs during the weekend.. Even previous weekend was out of his hands.

I hope to be online in the hours to follow !!!!

Thx for the support Dean !!!

Servers down to .. www.liveforspeed.be..

Waiting for them to come back online.. I hope they fix it very soon as the weekend starts...

Quote from andRo. :

Chill out! ....

No problem ... my bad .. try to read more careful on next competition.

Quote from andRo. :

Your entry is not valid, it's not allowed to use external images as it says in THIS rounds rules.

The rules below round rules are in general, what most of the rounds will have. But round rules are more important and you should always read round rules to see if anything has changed.

I don't think there was a need to delete the external image rule from the "general" rules, since I thought everyone would get that.

e to be lear enough

Hi,

no problem with rules... they are there to follow... but then they have to be clear enough.. by the way .. my English is not that good so.. What are "round" rules??? Are those common rules ??

and if external images are not allowed then what about these example in previous edition ??

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=76698&page=2 by Kristy

So I can only ask to be VERY clear in the rules and don't think people will understand it because you "think" so.. As jrd.racer also thought ... "Wait what?? The rules are contradicting itself.

As league owner of the www.liveforspeed.be league, I have nothing against rules.. but I can assure you it is VERY frustrating to put in all the work when following the rules put here and then have to hear the hours of work were all for nothing..

So I would like it if you at least leave my effort here to watch for other that do appreciate my effort even If I can't compete this time.. ( no, I will not retry another time consuming other effort as this one cost me almost 3 hours work (from 00:00 to 03:00 am this night))

cya around when I get my frustration out of the way...

Quote:

Quote:
You may incorporate external non-LFS images into your work, but you MUST give a link to any images used
??

So I've based me on the second rule.. And watching previous editions .. external images were also used before.. So I see no problem here..
An previous example of external image use is in previous RB4 contest page 2 with the nice addition of Kristi..

** Bump**

ONLY A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE START !!!

SUBSCRIBE !!!!

Bump as no one should tell they haven't read it

Subscriptions are on there way !!
make sure your one of them !

Season 9 calendar is online !!!
And there is something to win this season too !!! We got one autographed poster of a Hot Renault engine block signed by Bruno Senna and one personal card signed by Nick Heidfeld. Two Racers from the 2011 Formule One Renault Racing team. That will be send to the champion of Season 9

The calendar helps our racers again as we only try to change one item of the combo each round.
If we change the car, the track stays the same. If we change the track, only the car changes.
This gives racers, with less time, the possibility to stay competitive because this system saves on practice time.
Again we have chosen for a "learning" curve to start slow and easy, and end difficult.
But I have to say that the level is higher than Season 8 as these are cars with a lot less grip.
In this season we have again the multi session races.
With also the second race is longer than the first race.
This season we will have some modified tracks.

Most races also have a forced pitstop. Mostly, with the safety car, we have a lot of guys hitting the pitlane after the first lap, but this could also be a disadvantage when they have to come in again after receiving some damage.

How to participate?? Follow the registration link on our web site.
Remember we are well know for our CLEAN races !!!!!

We hope to see you all in great numbers !!
