I think this is the major factor myself. Many of the less established members see a post by Scawen and think, "oh I've got to post in the same thread as the dev, and look like I know a lot." Just trying to impress I guess?
The U11 patch mainly happened whilst we were away this weekend at the karting, and I came back to find 3 or 4 pages of people asking the same thing, which meant in the end I just decided to go back to post 1 and just download rather than contribute to the discussion.
I'm all for a "special team" so to speak, if it improves the discussion and ultimately progress of each development.
Instead I'll post this, an education on why we call net abuse, SPAM. Includes a history of email spam.

If gentlemen such as yourself keep posting in this manner, with such beautiful use of the English language, this forum would be a pleasure to read.
Ahem, Tristan. Woohoo! I think he's getting at you my friend...
Or maybe people who post spam like this?
:iagree:
I personally think that the quality of postings in general has fallen, discounting the regulars. Often I have waded through 4 pages of stuff and wondered why!
I don't think the thread location problem is too bad though, usually somebody mentions it and it's moved.
He must have men on the mind. 
I disagree, you can never have enough testers, whether beta or just us guys. In theory we all are testers anyway, as Live for Speed is still in Alpha remember.
ROFL, nothing like embracing the community. I'll let you be quick in Demo cars. Must be fun!
That's good for S2 servers these days!
I love you too.
I personally thought Northampton was a good spot, central, with what seemed a varied nightlife. However I can understand peoples desires to move elsewhere and this was mentioned during the weekend.
It's important that if we do decide to change venues, that we try to still avoid extremes, as this could result in the loss of certain people coming to the event.
For me I'd say it would have to be paintballing or karting rather than both, for cost and organisation reasons more than anything else. Has anyone ever been white-water rafting, that is meant to be good too?

Strange, as that's not what the majority have chosen.
Children like you usually follow the "in-crowd"!
It's probably a bit of both.
I think it's wrong to have to rely on the moderators of this forum to dictate how a thread develops. They have to decide where does a post cross the line, which could become difficult in this type of situation.
Wrecking is great isn't it ... do you do it?
What's your IP so I can join the same server as you?
Unfortunately as the consumer base grows, people from different social backgrounds are going to continue visit these forums, resulting in what happened in the U11 thread.
Whereas in the early days the game / this forum appealed to a niche market consisting of what I would call a more "mature" people, with the inclusion of the BF1 and the rise in popularity and public reviewing, I fear it is going to mean that more and more new people will visit these forums and post away without knowing or thinking what they are doing.
I hope that I'm proven wrong and that the increased popularity will bring more community members that we can respect, but with the state of public servers and the apparent younger, less educated audience spamming the forum with useful un-punctuated drivel, I somehow doubt it.
EDIT: 400 up, well played Chris... *Pats back*

Yay everyone's using my idea. I feel like part of the family...
Haha,
All I remember is the subject coming up at the pub, followed by...
Will: Stop! *chuckles* MY RIBS!

Try fiddling with the wheel turn option, it's in Options > Controls

My guess is Ronaldo won't be there next season, hence why he did it.
Historic Racing Driver Month, because I thought of it!

I think I know enough of the basic concept, The Very End has a server named close to yours (FM), because you've had a fallout.
Even so, he can call his server what he wants.
They have a right to call their server whatever they want, rightly or wrongly.
