Quote from Psysim :

I think you missed the point, posting a screenshot of this thread on that facebook page is trolling, stop saying your not trolling, because that very action is undeniably a trolling.

Secondly, even if added to a group by someone else, no S2 user is interested in drifting around a cracked server with a bunch of demo users, let alone ones with horrific vob's.

Finally, making this thread when you should be using the contact form on the lfs main page is publicly naming and shaming, something which isn't permitted on this forum and again constitutes trolling,

You've also just let every demo user on this forums know that A) lfs can be cracked, B) a good place to find out about the crack and C) where to get addresses of cracked servers.

Now be a sensible lad and use this link instead : https://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus

You can't join the group, the demo users would have to jump hoops to join. They have to be added. And it is a good chance they're already members. As for the trolling and everything, I thought you meant trolling lfs forums. Oh yeah, **** that group. If it were an open group anyone could join, then yes, I would choose a more private option. You are also missing the bigger picture. I guarantee you over 3 quarters of the demo users here use a crack. Nice job trying to flame a good cause. If I solely wanted to troll them, I wouldn't be sitting here typing away on a thread. I'd probably be spamming their page and all that jazz. You're making me out to be the bad person. I'm only half a bad person. And you're right, no S2 user does drift in their cracked server. You never seen the content in the fb group, it's comprised of cracks, pictures of lfs, drifting, etc. Although the legit content out numbers the illegitimate content, it's still there in heavy force. I censored the web address of the crack site itself, but that wouldn't help, again, more demo users have probably already seen and used that page than those that haven't. As for publicly naming and shaming, I could have dodged that and censored everything, but it was heat of the moment.

I hope it's post of the year for a good reason. Have you ever seen the activity inside of a cracked server? It's amazing how many people crack and I never really knew until like a few weeks ago.

Quote from Psysim :

That kind of defines trolling. Why would an S2 user be in that group? /logic

Because it doesn't present itself as a pirate group. [s]When I joined[/s] Actually, when I was added by another FB user into the group, I had no knowledge of it. But then I started seeing posts like "ip blah.blah.blah port blah.blah.blah". The page itself is based for drifting, but has been maliciously taken over by pirates. The owners don't care because of the inflation of users since they turned their back to the issue. I'm not the only S2 user in there, by the way. If I had a troll mind set, I wouldn't have even posted this in the first place. And here is the official google definition of trolling... troll2
trōl/Submit
verb
gerund or present participle: trolling
1.
fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat.
"we trolled for mackerel"
2.
informal
submit a deliberately provocative posting to an online message board with the aim of inciting an angry response.
"if people are obviously trolling then I'll delete your posts and do my best to ban you"

Also, here a screen shot of the crack distribution website's download page, to prove my point. I'm trying to draw awareness to an arising demon, not troll everyone because im le master troll or something. Some of the words are weird and all because of translation from Lithuanian.

Quote from nikopdr :

You still have chances to win the 2014 troll of the year award, just try harder.

5/5 because I actually read your post.

Not trolling, this page is literally just full of pirates. You're either deceived due to lack of information or you're actually trolling from the group itself since I posted the screen shot of this into the group. I hope this doesn't get troll of the year, because for once I'm being serious. If I were trolling, I'd probably post it into the wrong section, and then maliciously insult everyone. I'm trying to bring attention to the mass piracy going on. You cannot deny the screen shots; they are hard proof of what's going on, especially the screen shots of the website distributing cracks itself! So stop being ignorant. Even though again, you're probably trolling.

So it is probably well known that the LFS community is inflated with crackers. It's nothing new. But it has gotten worse. In the FB page "LFS Drifters 2013/D.A™-Drift Alliance™ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/289204681170218/), Piracy is very open and accepted. I do have corresponding screen shots to prove this. I, however, am against piracy due to it being a key factor in the s-update halt and it is generally killing everything. Let me break this down;

Said group mentioned above has 2600~ users. Easily 2100 are using cracked versions. $30.00 (s2 licence) x 2100 = $63,000.00. That $63,000.00 that could have already have funded the S3 update. and it's not all about funding either, when the devs notice piracy (and we all should know they do), how do they feel? Probably like beyond 70% of the user base just doesn't care about them. And yes, I can confidently say that 70% of LFS's activity is going on cracked servers. How do I know? No, I've never had a cracked LFS, but 2100 users out of 2600 using cracked in this one group? really?

I hope the developers take a peek in here and hopefully follow up on this page/individuals with law suits. At least make them enforce a no piracy rule. For the screen shots of the page:

Also screen shots of a piracy website that has open distribution of LFS S2 cracks. If anyone who can pursue legal action wants URL of the site, pm me. Not letting it go public for obvious reasons.

This is a little team i want to throw together for people who are actually good with the RB4. if you wanna join, just contact Initial_D. i will not change my name from initial_d until people reply to join. when i get a better comp i will start to accept people and such. This is just a thread to let people reply and apply. i will have a Forumotion website running for it as soon as i get off my ass. I hang around Drift o Drift Wars o (The O's are dots). Very hard not to identify. If you need further help, just email me at [email protected]

Hey, can i get the head light textures for the Silvia?

Well, here's the NISMO XRT i made. I couldn't re-position the Nismo and Nissan logo's cause, when i saved it, Gimp merged it all into ONE layer, but i did fix the Wing Problem. Here it is!: http://i813.photobucket.com/al ... Alva-/XRT_NismoSKIN-1.jpg

Enjoy! (Edit freely.)

Well, The only difference i see is some of the S' are a LIL bit off, (Of Course) and this is a fictional XFG, but other then that, it's all good!

Quote from FunteX :

Just a Quick little Silvia i made over a couple of minutes,
That Newcommers or ill experienced skinners can give a a personal touch.

Intended to give newcommers an easy start

Enjoy no copyright

Can you share the Silvia Headlights/grill please? I need it for a WIP skin. Thanks!

This skin would probably get you recommended for Master Skinners (IF you already aren't recommended/member of MS), WHEN FINISHED. The side you're showing me is a exact duplicate in my eyes to the real thing!

This is my WIP Nismo skin. I know, it looks bad. But it will get better. I will release other skins later on. ONLINE: Enabled.

*****IMPORTANT****: IF SOME ONE COULD GIVE ME SOME HEAD LIGHT/GRILL/BADGE ETC TEXTURES TO A S15 SILVIA SO I CAN PUT IT ON THE NISMO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

Issues:
-The wing, if you look on the CMX, has a white spot. Really big and bad on. So on the CMX, please take time to look at the spoiler/wing, so you maybe can fix it. And i also have to fill in some blank spots and stuff.

-Better positioning on NISMO and NISSAN Stickers.

Quote from pacesetter :

It's not really a skin mate. If this was done using MS Paint, I'd consider better software. I recommend GIMP (www.gimp.org) as it is free, and doesn't have so many tools to confuse you. Then go to Masterskinnerz, and download a pro kit. You should be able to have a play around with those .psd's and read a few tutorials. Ask for help if needed, there's plenty of graphics genius' floating around here.

Im using GIMP 2.6.2 .... I'm getting way better any ways. I'm working on a really complicating Geometric skin , mean while im no-lifeing it copy/pasteing stuff.

Quote from EliteAti :

You just Copy/Pasted same picture 3 times there, its something i wouldnt call a skin.

The best i can do right now. I'll get better later.

I have my GOOGLE XRT right HERE >>>>

Quote from baltuxx :
