Oh my, you have a knack for missing the point, don't you?

A knack? Have you been keeping notes on me?

Quote :

The reason for the 'uber-patch-testing team' (which isn't so much of a designated team as anyone can participate) is so that Scawen can keep his thoughts together when he is working on updating a test patch.

Now who's missing the point?

If you read my post again, you'll maybe see I was talking about a patch-testing team, not a forum! illepall

This was proposed here:
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=161153#post161153

I actually support the idea of the separate forum.

If you cannot understand that, you've probably never developed software, correct?

I've developed software successfully for many, many years. Not that it's any of your business.
Why do you feel the need to get personal?

The point I'm making here is that people should THINK before they shoot off their latest brainfrat for thousands on the internet to read. Its almost like they are hearing non-stop bullshit in their head, suddenly decide its time to post, put down whatever they've just heard in their head and posted something nonsensical. It is impossible for anyone to help them or for anyone to understand what they're on about. Then they play the victim when someone asks them for more info. illepall The odd thread that went in an unexpected direction or something like that doesn't get to me (nor to most people here), but I think I'm right in saying that lack of thought does.

But what am I saying, its OK to not think and waste everyone's time, right?

If you'd care to read my post again, you'll see that I was largely agreeing with you, although with the caveat that we should try to avoid deterring new players.

But don't let that get in the way of a good hissy fit.

Quote from richo :

New threads should be encouraged otherwise you end up with one stagnant forum, sure you may have silly threads popping up from time to time,its up to the readers disgression to wether they read the thread or not.

I would rather a "community" alive and kicking with new posts (even if some are crap) than a dead static one going nowhere to be honest.

The other point is whats a crap thread to me may be a totally valid post to someone else,look at the number of "OMG ive been banned threads" most often there a complete waste of time for everyone yet there was enough passion/anger for the poster to be bothered to post it in the first place.

No one is made to read a new thread and no one is made to post in it, people are voting with there feet on the issue when they post in any thread...

I totally agree.

With the recent 'let's have an uber-patch-testing team' and now a 'let's discourage new LFS'ers from posting proposal, this forum is in danger of becoming a tad too precious about itself.

So what if a new player complains about being banned? One post to point them in the direction of the server admin, along with some polite info about what to do if it should happen again, should be enough.

So what if a new player hasn't searched for a previous answer? If you don't want to answer their question, don't post.

Don't like the thread subject-matter? Think it's been said many times before? Don't read the thread!

hence why i said he should make his 1st post clearer....
Magazine for me is paper
e-Magazine is something electronic....

I take you're point, but I've yet to find a way to download a paper magazine!

But yeah, you're right, the first post could have been clearer.

Anyone else feeling really sorry for Shaun and Olddog by now?

(BTW, it was Shaun's fault! )

If you read back a few posts, you'll see that's not what Sternendaal is referring to.

Quote from max-dog :

The solution I like is to allow a set lap time threshold.
For example the drivers personal best time must be 105% of WR time or the fastest driver time in the race. I think there used to be a rule like this in F1.
Or use qualifying time or hotlap etc. Too bad simgle player race times arent logged.
Then if too slow you would recive a mesage "Too slow please practice more" and then get moved to spectate.

I am of course speculating that the crashers arent very fast. But I think that is probably correct.

Some of the funnest races I have had were with mixed car races. With the beginners in say, UF1 and experienced drivers in BF1.

So if you could set up:

Allow BF1 if PB > 105%
Allow FOX if PB > 120%

Unfortunately this approach would also target improving drivers, and this community has a good reputation for helping them. We want to encourage and help new/slow drivers...don't we?

Serp.

Personally, it's not something I'd be interested in.

When you see how tempers flare during 'fun' races, imagine what it would be like if money were involved!

(Apart from that, I'd have no chance of winning anyway! )

Quote from Kris-Is-Awesome :

Get your head out of your ass. I'm not begging for anything. You people don't act intelligent, NOR mature. Alll you have is shit coming from your mouths. I simply wanted to know if anyone is 'tired' of S2, and wanted to sell it. I'm not begging. If you have nothing encouraging or mature to say, I don't care about your opinion.

That's a great way to endear yourself to the community!

I gave you some advice in this thread, but you seem to have chosen to ignore it. Now you insult everyone who has responded.

As far as I'm concerned, you're now on your own.

Serp.

This is probably the wrong forum to be looking for a used license. most people here wouldn't part with it for a pension.

You could try the netKar, GTL, or rFactor forums - they've no taste there! (j/k - I have all 3)

Hehehe, who started with the "idiot" wasn't me babe

You weren't the first to use the word in this thread, but you were the first to insult another forum member with it.

Quote from André :

BTW a proper patch implementation would be a track editor, we just ask for that for 5 years now. In stead of silly unwanted "updates" work on real patches.

Now you're being offensive on a number of different levels.

I believe the patch is fully compatible...

Bummer.

I suggest you post in the Technical Help section and maybe the devs or someone will come to your aid.

I feel for you!

Quote from André :

[...]The Horns give a lot of extra fun and now that aspect is suddenly gone.[...]

Only when they're used sensibly. I've seen faster drivers use them to intimidate slower/newer drivers.

ok, and your internet connection is working ok for other apps?

Have you rebooted since installing the patch?

Sorry Orion, but I find the above comment a tad offensive, and not a little arrogant. You shouldn't take a shotgun approach like that just because you disagree with a couple of people.
