Quote from Rappa Z :

hell no, i don't care if is the fastest, oldest demo racer there is. He can ask his parents, if they say no then he can beg them(that's how i got my license, and i'm begging me parents into a wheel now).

Think of the other demo racers.

Monthly competition - more chances will arise...

(Good luck with the wheel)

EDIT: Just saw the competition bit that you wrote - Would you be in with contributing something like 50p per competition?

Quote from tristancliffe :

I've already bought enough licences for people for free - wheel4hummer (LFS) and Kamkor (nKP) were both out of the kindness of my heart. If faster can write me an eloquent PM about why he deserves LFS, then I will CONSIDER buying it for him.

But I think a competition is a better idea. And I voted NO

*My definition, and my definition only, of what eloquent is shall count. I will also take spelling, punctuation, and grammar into account, and my opinion counts. I am open to bribery (minimum £24), and a little bit of sucking up (as it were), but not too blatently.

I like the idea of a competition too and also - you wont be buying a license by yourself - all you could do is contribute... Maybe we should set up a competition? Would you be in with it? A lot of people look up to because you ae very knowledgable and a big poster so maybe we could do with yours and other "high-authoritical" people!

Quote from Chris_Kerry :

I voted No.

If the community are going to give a licence away, then at least make him earn it.

Your opinion but i think it's a nice idea like every 3 months that everybody donates a bit of money towards an account and it becomes a genuine competition...

Quote from Captain Slow :

how about, we give him an s2 license, but then he is legaly bound to learn to write in english properly? we could set up a thread in off topic to learn him. *thinks "lfs school of ye old english" *

Lol the ideal thing would be, even though we find him funny and entertaining, for him to not have to ask the questions but to find out the answers for himself and that can be helped with a license, can it not?

Plus it should make us feel better knowing that we have helped somebody. I know it makes me feel better

Quote from MR_B :

I feel it's not fair on other demo racers who may also be totally nuts about lfs, maybe more so than faster, and maybe longer so too. But because they may not be so vocal, I just feel a bit against favoritism here. It's a really thoughtful idea, and I really believe he does deserve it, but unless everyone can have one... I'm going to have to vote no.
Sorry peeps.

Each to their own but maybe, like i said, this could be an incentive?

What would you do if you were in the situation of a shy demo user that obviously wants a free S2 license? Would you speak out?

Quote from K.David :

I haven't met anyone... I just read their posts and J.B. seems like a coherent person who could even prove useful in the development process.

ps. at least you managed to get the 700 posts that you've been craving for...

JB?? Who's JB? The guy from the link?


Thanks for bringing the 700 posts up lol i've been trying to fit that in without starting a new thread lol

Quote from Madman_CZ :

how about we set him a target of say 20 post he has to make in a day which have to be interesting, properly structured will correct use of grammar and punctuation? to prove his worth..

We don't want to make him do it because then it will just seem like he wants to find questions to make up and they won't be very genuine because if he has no questions in 1 day then by these terms - he could lose his chance!

Quote from zeugnimod :

But asking stupid questions was/is eaxactly, what faster was/is doing, isnt it?

Well it seems that this guy is pretty needy for information and like i said, it is obvious and by looking at his spellin etc it seems that he could have his questions answered with a solution and that solution can be getting him the license to find out the things for himself!

Quote from Ryanry64 :

A competition is a much better idea than just giving him one because he won't get a job and earn some money.

Atleast with a competition you might have to actually do something.

Well we need to start somewhere and by doing this then if it goes ahead it will show everybody that if we say it will happen then it will - and it wont be just a pack of lies!!

Quote from joen :

jpg uses lossy compression, PNG uses lossless compression
png supports transparency, jpg does not



? Quite the other way around, as jpg files are compressed resulting in quality loss. bmp is not compressed (well, actually it can be, but it's rarely used)

Thanks for the explanation!!

Quote from Ryanry64 :

I'm not trying to sound mean here but he is perfectly capable of earning it himself.

Besides, if faster gets one then every demo racer will want one. We don't want no riots

Well then if they were to input a lot more then maybe we can do it monthly or quaterly like a competition and that will be an incentive - It has to be done properly and they have to be genuine and not ask really stupid, obvious questions. Most of us can pick out what is obvious and what is genuine!

Quote from Madman_CZ :

yeah why not! Ok so he might not deserve it 100% as there are probably better demo racers ou tthere who are also well spoken but he has entertained us over the last few months... u can always ensure a laugh reading his posts

At last - something positive from somebody other name me and Captain!!!

You can help support us by putting an ad like mine and captains' in your sig if you want

Quote from Captain Slow :

holidays should be for relaxing and getting fat. not going on lfs forum.

Haha - so true but LFS is great and it will be nice to come on and speak to you guys whilst i'm enjoying myself! Or if i find a nice girl then i don't think i will be on here for the duration of the holiday lol! Let's just wait and see!

Quote from blonde11 :

lol no way thats what his £30 a week college cash is for. Anyway we all had to pay for it, it went on me credit card (says it all lol)

Will £1 make a difference? If we all muck in then it may even be like 50p each... Tristan can give a pound as he is the elder poster

Quote from Ryanry64 :

Something you actually put some effort into earning will be alot more satisfying than people just giving it to you.

People don't really get that

Maybe, but this guy was excited about paying for it with his "EMA" so really it seems that this guy is quite desperate (not to offend or embarisse faster111 but it has got evidence, hasn't it not?)

Quote from Captain Slow :

ahh but faster111 has been a demo player for longer, so surely he should have his opportunity first?? correct me if im wrong though.

p.s. the vote isnt looking to good spasm

It's only been on for a few minutes lol we can see the outcome in 2 weeks time when i'm back from Spain (going tomorrow morning 3AM). I will go on the forum when i'm there if i have the chance!

Quote from zeugnimod :

Like i said, I, PERSONALLY. I've never heard of this guy lol and i was talking about in the meantime - not whenever that guy was on most!

Quote from Captain Slow :

lol and im campaigning for im in my sig.

Good idea! I'm doing that too!!

Quote from K.David :

Definately no. Think of the other demo racers!

I, personally, have never seen another demo user show as much interest in LFS as faster111 has, have you?

Quote from Captain Slow :

i vote yes

Good man - I was hoping that you would otherwise our massive conversation/debate would rend rather... Useless

Quote from Gunn :

PNG files are just too big.

Apart from the file size - What's the differences between PNG and JPG?

I.E. When comparing Bitmap and JPG - Bitmap is like more pixelly...

Quote from marcione :

wk00t ?

You what?

Quote from AndroidXP :

So, you deserve software worth 24£ just by being "annoying" and a bad speller?

Well technically yes in his situation but there's more to it - He seems to be really into it. You may think that he is annoying when asking all these questions but i think he just wants to know more and it's always better to ask than to just not ask and therefore not know!

Some of you may've seen the ideas thread and we have been discussing if faster111 deserves to be given the S2 license - what do you think?

I think he does!
