Quote from Hizzout :

Yeah I knew this was going to start a politcal debate which wasn't my goal. I'll have to toy around with making the skin myself.

I'm a Ron Paul supporter but even I know he's not going to win. That's not the point. The point is his message. People all over America are waking up and telling the gov't and media that we're not going to stand for the lies and corruption anymore. We're going to take a stand against our very basic of rights that are quietly being stripped away every day without the knowledge or concern of most of the American people.

That's all I'll say about it. I know this message isn't about skinning, but my OP was.

Libertarian FTW. I like him except for his stance on Iraq.

Quote from Hankstar :

Oh, and you started a "wah, LFS is dead", which entitles any forum member to call you anything they like. It's in the rules - well, the part that's only readable by members born in the 1970s, aka The Greatest Decade Of Them All, Man, Because Led Zeppelin Ruled It And Phil Collins Hadn't Been Invented Yet, so I guess you wouldn't have seen it.

Exactly.

Nice posters! They look like a pdanev creation.

That made me actually laugh out loud. Reply of the week!

Here, I will re-use a reply from a few days ago.

It's a conspiracy formulated by Zionists, Freemasons, NASA, pyramid builders, militant lesbians and that one guy who controls all the world's oil prices, Bernie Taupin.

Sometimes what may be good for one person, may be not for another. In fact, sometimes using world record setups I can be slower than using the ones I made myself.

I would compare that set up to the one you use frequently to see just why it is faster.

Quote from 5haz :

It all seems unusually strict, people get massacred for accidentaly driving with private skins here too ive just found Im pretty new to this community and perhaps these kinds of attitudes could have as damaging an effect on LFS's reputation as an excess of poor mods would.

How about you spend 2-5 hours designing a skin, then see someone use it without permission. See how irate it makes you feel. :rolleyes:

Quote from Stang70Fastback :

I wonder what happens if you put a Type-R sticker on a piano?

How about the Type R toilet?

Quote from Fredthebest :

Thanks for putting the quiz up DK, thanks man... seriously I couldnt thank you any more!

I hope to see you in the game guys!

Excellent! I was about to ask you, the next time you saw username "lerts" on a server to ram him as hard as you could at full speed, but no need anymore.

I tried it out a few days ago. Being that I am nearly twice the age of virtually everyone that was present, I grew pretty bored quickly. I tried the coin quest thing, gave up on that, so I drove and drove and drove until I was able to afford the XRG.

To me, there was no sense of purpose, it's ready made for 12-18 year old's who have a lot to talk about but no substance behind the words. Before some of that age jumps on me for that, wait ten years and then reflect back to when you were sixteen. Anyone over the age of thirty will know what I mean.

For example, until I got annoyed and pressed " - " to block messages, I watched one idiot type to another:

Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?
Hey guess what?

That went on for, no kidding, 32 minutes.

And of course the obligatory accusations of homosexuality, (why ARE teenager's so obsessed with that?) the "kekekekekeke's"*, the "STFU's" The "OMG i drive leik teh idiot somone fl!p me ovr plz...stfu n00b, kekekekekeke".

If you are reading and think cruise servers are all that and a bag of chips, great. Before I judged, I came, I saw, and I am forever scarred.



*likewise, if they are Latin it would be "JAJAJAJAJAJAJA"

TV view, or if it is a CTRA server, I do shift U and watch at turn one. Always good entertainment.

IIRC, somewhere on this board, the reason the Formula BMW is included with the demo is because the party privy to the car asked for it to be, which I would think that logically, the track used in the demo would have to be free also.

So, I think the answer no, sadly.

Oh, well alright then.

Quote from chanoman315 :

i also hate ppl that put The Stig .... there are so many stigs in lfs...i dont know who is who

"Some say that he joins servers to wreck others for fun, and that his real username is racecar spelled backwards...all we know is, he's called The Stig".

Quote from Albieg :

And you probably think that a slice of bread and digital data are the same thing, since you're comparing apples and pears.

Please do not misinterpret me or twist my words. What I mean is that I find it strange that a industry such as as gaming and software, that a person can receives good or services for no monetary exchange, and that it is encouraged in this industry more so than any other that come to mind at the moment. I mean, software doesn't just magically come from nothing, there is a person or person who take a part of the companies profits in the form of labor, who ends up really paying for the demos? How can a company exist by giving a percentage of their profits away, never to see them, as there will alway be software freeloaders?

Make no mistake, Scavier are very dedicated, passionate group of people, but they also have bills to pay. For a person that exclusively uses the demo, then comes to the forum here and has the gall to complain about something that is given to them for free, at the expense of Scavier, and ultimately you, as we S2 users are the ones who absorb the cost of the demo users, is insulting to me, and it should be to you to.

Now if a demo user come to board to give informative feedback about the game as to better improve it, the more the merrier, we should all encourage that, and encourage demo users to buy the full game.

To have a demo user make a post venting their frustration about something they use for free, well, in my book, they have no leg to stand on.

Myself, I am so very grateful for the people who make add-on's at their own expense of time and effort, and never would I berate them for making something that I would not know how to do.

Then again, I am not part of the "entitlement generation".

Who cares? As a joke, my racer name is Baron Von Bloatenkat, I always get the "why is your name so long?"

Quote from Albieg :

Strictly speaking from a business point of view, do you think it's right treating potential customers that way? If you think you're right, why do you think you're the right person to do so, since you're a customer and not a seller?

Something for you to dwell on. When you go to your...I dunno, let's say Tesco's, how many products have free samples that you can use or consume before actually buying the product? If you were to buy a 50 pound toaster, does the company give you a mini toaster that toasts one slice of bread for free?

If you ask me, I think the gaming and software industry has a strange way of business practices. If anything, it encourages freeloading.

Quote from batteryy :

i vas very bored, and i made fast battery skin for FBM.very empty skin

Sometimes those are the most remembered. I keep my skins simple, everyone knows it is me, though just this month I changed from using white to blue gradient, to yellow to orange.

AAARGH! We need more of the OP in S2.

Have a direct link to the streaming? My German is very poor.

Really!

EDIT: Forgot to mention: all your base are belong to us.

Not bad. I would download as many interesting fonts as you can think of, though. The standard set that comes with MS are pretty plain, you can even use the Live For Speed fonts (called Add Speedy).

Quote from theblackrabbi :

And I'm sure it's been said before but why not when you crash, part of your body in the game gets injured as well. You would have a body meter as well. It would register all vital functions of the virtual driver, taking a leak, needing sex, whatever a regular human may need. O.K. all done.

How about when you are street racing and you wipe out bystanders or T-bone a car? Would the game have a remorse-o-meter?

Quote from March Hare :

Not this shit again.

Drifters go to the drift servers.

Racers go to the race servers.

Those who do both choose a server according to what you want to do now.

Quote from bbman :

Can we PLEASE have a lock on this?

Exactly.

Quote from Zachary Zoomy :

for XRG now eh?

Don't jump to conclusions, he may have X still installed.
