Good idea!! If you had faster's unique way with words and outstanding spelling skills, you would've stolen the text too. Banger racing, and variations of, have been around for quite a while now.
My thanks go out to the normal two who jump on crc threads etc etc...
May I point out that I never said that Banger Racing was originally the CRC's Idea, I was refering to the TEXT in the main post.
Your both regular visitors of the CRC website (still), so im sure youll see it sometime.
Letting the thread "die out" would have been better done by not posting, but seeing some of the complete crap that is posted here by some its not really supprising.
Agreed. Oh, and to the yelling kid (I'm guessing a young kid by the way he's been acting): What makes you think you're so much better than them? They didn't come in yelling that others were noobs, and obscenely screaming that their event should be stopped. While I don't agree with the way that he obtained his rules, it's also not my decision, and planning an event is a bit harder than it seems. Listen, kid, I'm sorry to be singling you out here, but honestly, grow up man.
Good luck with your mom, and the event I suppose. And good luck to intelligent conversation.
It's a forum, people have opinions, if you can't handle that then you have no business posting in a forum. In this thread I didn't even express an opinion, I merely pointed out that banger racing wasn't the CRC's idea, which is true, but apparently you don't like being wrong either.
Well, actually, you did say it was your idea, and I quote:
I can't speak for th84, but I don't visit your website. I did follow the link you posted above, and that's the only time I've been to your website in ages.
You posted. Is your misspelled, unpunctuated and poorly structured text somehow more important than anybody else's?
As have I. We can discuss things anytime you choose. You try to make it seem like i troll the forums and wait for you to post!! Do you really think that much of yourself? Like i said, dont make more of my post's than the text in them. Addicted to what?? I didnt say anything negative about you or the CRC, i was simply replying to the other peoples comments, not yours!
Wow Kev, you supprise me there. Well no actually you dont, I always knew you were like that, I just didnt think that you would stoop as low as personal insults.
I tell you what, if it carries on like this.... Do you know its a form or reportable bullying?
I WAS refering to the way the text was written, you know that too.
See when I was in education, I was always tought that unless you quoted when you completly copied text from another that that was plagiarism, which is wrong in my opinion and almost most others.
Thats what I was refering to in my posts.
And finally..
Thanks for that particular insult there, next time I have something to say, Ill remember to run it past you first, as you obviously know many things better than I do.
Does it matter guys? CRC has a couple of dozen members, and isn't really a big thing in LFS licenced servers. I don't know how they operate in the demo servers, but I don't care. Stoney operates a service to those that feel they need it, and it protective of noob bashing, that's not necessarily a bad thing if it's done right.
CRC operating a banger racing 'theme' always amuses me, but as I have nothing to do with CRC I just leave it be.
Your high-and-mighty attitude is tiresome, and taking you down a peg or two will do you no harm whatsoever.
Oh here we go... Last time, my posting on your public forum was a form of "harrassment" that you were going to take to the police, and now telling you that your use of language is atrocious is going to land me in the nick too, is it?
I'll tell you what I told you last time: Go ahead. And after you get laughed out of the police station, see if you can find anywhere selling reality checks.
This is going to sound like I'm not backing you up Stoney and I'm sorry for that, I get why it frustrates and bothers you so much but there was no need or reason to let things blow up like this.
No one said anything bad, but because you were waiting for 2 people in particular to add their comments you were already pissed off and ready to have a go when they did no matter what they said. So then you say something, they say something. This thread should have end with...
...but now it goes on, only worse.
Now you're going to feel even more like you can't post here without someone saying something bad and you shouldn't feel like that because it's not always negative and some times not neagtive at all.
I'm sorry Stoney and this is normally something I'd say in private to you but there was no reason for this to get so bad.
p.s. Chris I'm from near Derby I know that's stupid but I still find it nice when I find someone on the internet who lives near me, makes me feel like I've bumped into someone I know!
He is the ultimate master, isn't he? So quick, so cunning!
And this is where I bow out. I'm happy to argue about nothing whatsoever all day with Stoney, but I lose interest when people start thinking that it's about time to pick sides. I've got no problem with anyone else, so I'm off.
Well this is an interesting thread. It started off as a mis-use of someone elses work which now the guilty party has owned up to. Now this is where it gets rather childish.
Who was having a pissing contest? I ask as I don't see anything that wasn't already dealt with in a civilised manner. Now onto the 2nd part of the same post.
Why did you so obviously have a pop at the CRC, or am I mistaken and it was Stoney who it was directed at?
Here's another un-nessecary post directed at Stoney, but to achieve what?
At least in the next quote you admit you go out of your way to inflame Stoney at any chance you see. But the question still is ...Why?
After reading all of this pointless posting I thought I'd check out your profile to see if in fact you were as immature as your posts make you out to be. You are in fact in your 30's ( or so your profile states ) and yet you act as immature as my 7 year old daughter. Now I think my opinion is heard and possibly noted I think the notion of this thread dying is a good one.
I dont think kev was taking a ''pop'' at neither the CRC or stoney. He stated that banger racing wasnt the CRC's idea, which it wasnt! Call it what you like.
I didnt see inflaming, i did see argue. Two totally diffrent things. You make stoney out to be totally innocent. All one has to do is disagree with stoney, and he is inflamed. What do you think he was trying to achieve by calling out faster, like he has many other times? Everyone here is well aware of faster's shortcomings. I think the issue goes way beyond stealing some text.
Maybe he was worried about faster's series being more popular
Im gonna bow out now too, before the rest of the calvary arrive!
