Well, even if the old contents aren't moved over, there's still Google "site: forum.rscnet.org query_string." And if rscnet.org dies, then there's Archive.org.

Bah, having a join date on the first day of this new forum could be cool one day. Give it five years. Still, though, I agree. It doesn't say much about how long one's been around LFS (although the join date on RSC wasn't for LFS specifically, anyway).

Join dat does does not, but peoples user id's do. They are identical to the order in which people registered on the LFS website

I'm just below 1000, which was sometime in september 2002 iirc. The user above me has 62xxx so he's pretty new

You can just import the posts without the users. The posts would then be linked to profile number 0 (which is a guest account.) You'd still have all the usernames attached to the posts though because that's saved seperately in every post.

Anyway, if the devs ask us for it, we'll certainly give them a backup. The LFS forum at RSC won't be going anywhere though, so you can still visit it and read the old posts.

:noob: :hihi:

I'm 24th

<--- 40th

4th After Victor, Vari and someone else.

I prefer starting fresh anyways. A lot of the old information can be redone, and I'd be willing to do a lot of it. Lots of things go into making a change for this new forum, and having a fresh forum makes it much better in most ways. Yeah the old informative content is gone, but we can still use RSC as a reference.

Where do you see that?

Click on your name and it'll be the last number in the link.

This is pretty damn freaky. I'm the 48th member. According to the transaction details, I was also the 48th person to buy S1 when it 1st came out... :hide:

How about having the official forums opening on your birthday? Thats cool, right?

That may be because you had to register to buy S1, and that database is used for this forum... Hence your LFS site name is your username here

registering came a LOT later than lfs...

many people played lfs way way before any database.
in fact, if anyone recalls the 0.04 demo website, they all know databases and that site didnt belong together

and at that time racing legends / wsc were late by years already.

Which is why I said you had to register to BUY S1...
The reason it shows we are demo-racers/s1 or s2 licensed is because the userdatabase from lfs.net is used for the forums as well... or at least it was copied from that database.

My name as in the name above my avatar in this post? I don't see anything like that there.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see the address at the bottom. Number 5268 here. I found LFS back in October 2002, around the time .1E came out.

Quote from KiDCoDEa :

Hehe, the West Racing forums was where I first heard of LFS. Thank god. You can tell how desperate I was for a new sim just by the fact that I was there, taking the West brothers seriously (well almost).

Oh, and Hi, nice to see you back.

Yeah, that ID number is also misleading. I was playing months before you could register anything, but when they opened up registering names to the public, 3204 people beat me to it (and someone even took my original name, if anyone remembers it). I'm slow.

vic any update on possibilities of even frozen read only archive of past forum history being integrated here?

Number 456 here... surprisingly low.

I think it would be nice to have some sort of archive we can search through,
but i for one am not interested in having all this 'merged' here or whatever.
Considering the 1000s of users, i pity the guy coding the 'converter'....

Anyways, isn't the GOOD old stuff lost ?! After that crash a few years ago
on RSC (or was that last year...?! lol). I'd like to have access to the very
beginning of this community :P Turboholics and all !!! hehe

correct if im wrong but i dont think anything was lost.

Why are you too lazy to visit RSC, let me half the work for you, a link: http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=205

thanks for missing the point. love that kind of posts although around here they tend to become a bit too common.
you do understand that websites are temporary things. some more than others. history things that belong to you shouldnt be kept "safe" in a 3rd party house that can, without trace vanish from the face of the net.
welcome back to the thread.

Well save the threads you want to your hard disk and you can repost them if needed?

Only the unofficial tempory forum posts were lost, all the posts before the down time are still there.
