this is absolutely irrelevant, because even if there would be a crack for online play, you couldn't use it to connect to official servers...
on this photo, jardier is preparing to overtake.. 
to explain it.. that screenshot is from an interview with Jardier in czech music tv Ocko
i think it's pretty obvious, that the unlocking by credits will be replaced by unlocking by completing driving school... why else would they make it?
i think that system is good... newbies will have to learn to control cars and pass clean in school so there won't be so much wreckers... and people who already have experience will have no problem with completing whole school in an hour or so.. most test can be done on "quick" rank at first try, and some of them are fun too! i especially liked the mrt5 autocross course...

i think the problem is in physics rate... when two objects are approaching at high relative speed, in one frame they are close to each other, and in the next one they are intersecting.. that somehow causes a large force...
have you ever driven a car, that weighs 600 kg and has 450 hp? i would think that it spins a lot
no problem for you, because you are not programming LFS
i think just allowing s1 racers on servers with s1 content will be a lot easier to implement, and the time that it saves can be used by scawen to do more important stuff, like physics
umm, the right spelling is "shockwave"
with this i agree... just enable people with s1 to join s2 servers, BUT only those with s1 content specified... and if server admin changes server specs to allow s2 content, s1 users will be kicked
1] mainly the security issues, as was already pointed out... if you can see decrypted cars and tracks in game, you are just few variables away from getting complete acces to them
2] need for altering communication protocol of lfs, to allow "just spectating" connections
3] more bandwidth usage for master server, and s2 servers
4] i can imagine, that if there was an option in server setup for specifiing amount non-s2 users on server, most admins will put it to zero anyway...

problem is, that s1 users who come just to watch, block space for s2 users who want to play...
anyway,, i think the complications this feature would bring will outweight the gain from it...
Phlos is right.. if s1 or demo users had access to all track and cars (even if they couldn't drive them!) that will make lfs much more vulnerable to cracks...
but merging the serverlists from s1/s2 into one is a good idea... users could still only see and join servers with the content of their unlock level... so for instance s1 users would only see servers with s1 tracks and cars, but s2 users will see all available servers in one list

well i think it's not that hard to import them.. (but i may be wrong, since i don't know how exactly database in vbulettin looks)
i once made a similar thing, when i had to import 2000 posts from phpbb forum to mercuryboard...
thread_id's and post_id's could be rewritten, and still kept in the same order..
but the user-id would have to be changed to anonymous in all posts... of course all avatars and signatures and stuff will be gone, but usernames belonging to posts should stay (there should be a field for user name in posts table, in case someone anonymous is posting)

i think that images in sigs are just pointless waste of bandwidth...
smilies in signatures are pointless too, but as long as they are not overused, i don't mind them
