Yeah I thought of this before. It is feasible, it will just will take the admins of the teams to agree on a standard for points, i.e. 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1 etc...
I can help set this up if you want. You don't even need admin access to eachothers server, just the correct address of the airio sta files
We already have the code for the website, so if you guys would be interested, I could try to display the points pretty quickly from your two servers and see how it works?
I think I am right in saying that the community has NEVER been disappointed in the work that Scawen and Victor do, or the pace they work. The issue I have, as I am sure many others have, is in the incredibly long delays in simple things like interiors and tracks. If I am not mistaken, these are the sole premise of Eric, but also these are things which the community can, and would be willing to help with. I cannot find any justifiable reason why the community couldn't have provided interiors for the GTR class in the last couple of years, without affecting Scawen and the way he wants to code LFS, at all...
As well as a complete graphical makeover, the site has been completely recoded and includes some great new features which we hope you will find useful.
1. PB's, Latest Posts and Upcoming Events have been incorporated into a compact, dynamic scrolling section at the top of the page. This displays a lot more information than before. Either mouse wheel or click the dots to move through the items, or let them move on their own.
2. Ventrillo Status - You will see a small ventrillo status icon on the top line of the site, click this and it will show you who is in our ventrillo channels, as well as links to easily join us.
3. Dynamic news items - Click the read more to expand any long news item, enabling us to show more news than previously possible.
4. Updated Server status - We have updated this section to be more compact and graphical, and it now shows your username as your ingame name. Also you can click the track or car to get LFS information on that particular item. Click the username to get stats on that user. Click the server to join the server, also click the lfs progress and remote icons to view the races as they happen.
5. Updated Team online status - This has also been updated to include lfs progress and remote links to any server, plus we have added country flags which you can also click to view the wiki on that country.
6. Rotating links banner - Above the chat box is a rotating banner which if clicked will take you to various places of interest within the LFS community. We hope to include other teams banners shortly.
7. Updated forum look - We have also updated the forum to fit the new site, we hope you like it.
The site will include many more updates and features in the coming months, but we hope that you enjoy the work that our team have done so far, and finally, have a great 2010!

At first I was a little disappointed that Scawen was going to allow non-limited setups at all in the next patch, but I suppose he has to consider the drifters etc.. I just hope the racing community embrace the limited setup option properly and all racing hosts use it
I like to think I am a decent racer who drives hard but fair...
When I go to ANY public server, it can be incredibly frustrating. We used to run a very similar server to the FM guys, and tbh it was no better. It is impossible to have a normal clean race with a server of 20+ connections full of amateur drivers. FM try their best to keep the complete noobs away at peak times with the pb filter, but it can only do so much...
I have had a break from public racing for a while but had a go the other night and got crashed out 7/8 races through no fault of my own. I was, as you can imagine, massively frustrated and certainly took it out on the next idiot who crashed me out but that wasn't Failure's fault was it?...
But my point is to James, you race enough to know that failure does his best to keep a clean server, and certainly doesn't deserve any insults from you... Why the hell should he take abuse from people using his server when he is paying for it, he is administering it, and also he is racing on it... Give the guy a freaking medal man, not an insult
Jonathan, the last thing we want is for you to pull out of MOE, or any of the events you run or help with. I am simply stating my opinion on the fact that a team can get wrongly (IMO) penalised for having the incorrect skin/numberplate/logo for a qualifying session, which then that has a huge impact on the thing that matters, the race.
I first of all urge you to reconsider, and I also ask that all admins of leagues consider the situation the drivers and teams are in. It takes an awful lot of work to prepare for races like this, and the drivers involved have to concentrate and focus on the races, and to find out after you have set a time, that you have lost that time because you had the wrong numberplate etc is just wrong....
All I am saying is try to see this whole thing from a drivers perspective, as that is simply the most important thing....
