Richy just enjoy LFS and have a break from the forums sarcasm comes across badly over the internet. Quite whether it's encouraging to call the beginers in LFS noobs is something I've been wondering about for a while.

Remember we all started the same and ended up in this community the only moment I've had in LFS was a debate with Tristan, which I now admit he was right

What were we talking about? I honestly don't remember...

and noobs and newbies are not the same - someone with 3 years experience in LFS can still be a noob, and a newbie might not be a noob. But not everyone has the same definition of the two terms.

Quote from Gentlefoot :

You know what Richy? I've read quite a few of your posts now and I've come to the conclusion that you must be a small child who has been horribly spoilt by his parents.

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

please read more?

edit: oh i see, you was giving an example of a noob, my bad.

Isn't it funny how the threads that contain the least information are always the longest?

And the fact you have to read all the way through just to find that out . . .

This won't get him started again will it? Damnit. Get yer 'eds down lads. Fire in the hole!!!

are you too stupid to look at the time / date that was posted?

edit: oh i realise you are trying to provoke here, like an idiot. i hope everyone here is proud of you and all the other newbie bashers. seeing as its mainly your fault that you caused all this shit to happen with your sarcy comments to make yourself feel bigger than you really are.

I agree with Richy here - Funnybear is just being a taunting brat now. Imo there's no need to act like that all the time... Maybe Funnybear just doesn't actually have anything useful to say or contribute

When will this thread start slipping down the list?! Sooner the better I reckon. Doh - bumped it again

Hey guys. You know I'm mostly harmless. I cannot be held repsonsibly for peoples reactions to my fairly innocous comments. In fact I'm a little hurt by the regulars who must have seen my more than helpful comments (As much as I can be) in other threads.

Richy is just a special case, as am I. I'm very special. In need of much help and assistance. Please make you donations to Help the Funny Looking Teddy Bear Association, 101 Acre wood industrial estate, Christopher Rob'em Drive.

Ta.

Now please let this thread drop before I upset someone else's maladjusted sense of humour . . .

Edit - Taunting Brat? At least you could have been slightly more imaginative. Is there something wrong with bringing a sense of humour to the table? I'm sorry if it's not to everyones taste but at least it gives some sort of entertainment!

Edit - And another thing . . If you didn't care for my humour or comments or Wierd Noobs then why read and contribute to a thread like this? Just consider yourself above it and don't give any time of day to come up with a witty retort or an imaginative repost. I don't go willy nilly through threads spreading my desease of the mind to all and sundry, I often get the hint and steer clear. Richy's comment was just open to an aserbic comment of some description and if it wasn't going to be me, it would have been someone else . . . . Now look, your getting me angry.

Calm down, deep breaths. 1,2,3,4,5 . . . . . Zzzzzzzzz

Yea, your right. It was a bit of my bad. TBH I thought he had buggered of in disgust but I notice he is still around . . .

Richy, mate. Buddy. Don't bite man. I'm one of them cuddly bears, I can't fight back. I have a really small thingy so I compensate with over inflated self important egotistical retoric.

This has really gone off topic, not good in the Noob forum. My last post here. Honest.

I didn't mean to start anything there, but I'm also a noob Rich so if I was bashing anyone I was bashing myself!

Ok. This will be my last post . . . honest.

I have also had Richy on a server ( I even aided him in advice and setups even after all this mudslinging) but that was back when he had just started out and to be honest I didn't see much of the good attributes you described. But I am willing to take on board that he has grown and developed in a lovely rosey pinky kinda way. Especially if he is racing as much as you say, you can't put in that many hours and stay driving like a cock.

Like I said, I think enough has been said on this subject now. We have all learnt something from this experiance and we should leave it with that knowledge fresh in our minds.

I love you all. No really, I do. Big hug. Come on, group hug from the Bear. It'll clear the air . . .

i did say that i wasnt going to give up on LFS i did listen to the help i got. there is tonnes of good guys here. i know your ok funnybear it wasnt just you who made me flip. theres loads of animosity toward new guys starting out, in the servers from players too, it isnt just the forum. i got the heart and the time and effort to put into this driving sim even if i dont quite have the skill.

so far i can only drive the FWD cars im not very good in RWD yet (ive not driven a RWD on the edge in real life either yet) but i spent last night drifting for ages and i was getting the hang of that eventually. the LX4 is fun i can drive that but the really fast RWD cars get me. just one time i got used to one and was managing to do a full race, but by the next day i had forgotten how to keep it smooth and was back at square one.

i decided not to keep switching cars and tracks, and not actually getting used to the feel of anything i was driving. i think you get much better results if you practice the same one over and over. FWD are something that i can relate to from real life driving experiences so i decided if theres a platform i should start out on and practice hard with, its the XFR.

im also trying to force myself to mess about with the setups so i can learn how to make my own race setups, though im not sure if im having much of a result. though i did make my own drift setup and that was the best results i had yet, i changed the rear tyres stiffened the suspension and increased the gearing a bit and maximum lock and i had made a setup that suited me! though how good it actually is i dont know, but it feels nice to drift with and i guess thats what im looking for in a setup there!

and im still debating wether to get a wheel or not...

Ok. As we're all friends again I'm going to keep posting here . . . lol.

Richy, just keep playing with the sets, read the Wiki manual. Learn what does what and where and then when people give you Setups or you manage to make your own you know what is needed to fix problems.

So many of the courses require just small changes to be made to get the best out of your car, but unless you understand why the car behaves the way it does then how can you fix it?

As for a steering wheel. If you can afford it and your planning on spending time on LFS then why not? It can only help you out and give you the experiance that the DEVs want you to have.

Yours in Racing.
