I just took a jump over to the Ultimate Guitar forums because I haven't been there in the longest time, so I'm browsing around and I realized, the place is messy, huge, and people are mean. And it made me think, I think thats why I'm getting into posting and hanging out on this board. We here at LFS have a small community, friendly people, polite speech, proper grammar, and a general good vibe. I think the light blue theme helps with that.

Anyways, to make a long story short, what are your personal reasons for enjoying the LFS Official Forum so much? Feel free to share stories too if you would like.
*Group hug*

*Gasp* LFSn00b, I have always loved you. You and your silly avater
~Bryan~

Lol nice trends going around, I'm not here to give reasons but I find it nice how everybody is getting so kind as to spending money on people they hardly know

I really and truely do feel bad for bumping such an old thread, but I have some news. The Supra has been sold. On 93 octane it burned through a tank of gas like nothing, even when cruising. It went for $18,500 to a fairly rich guy in the city. He says he has plans to race ready it, and have it competing at tracks within the next few months. I took my last drive in it after school on Friday, lets just say I pushed the limits pretty hard. I pretty much revved it to the line, dumped the clutch, countered the back end kicking out, and powered over untill it hooked up. It chirped shifting into third, I don't know if it was the tires, or the damp airstrip, but it felt so amazing......let the writing begin
I reset my hand in the wheel, gripped the shifter, dumped the boost pressure, threw it into third, mashed the gas, and it chirped. It was a sign of life, the car was telling me it didn't want to leave. I felt bad, so I cooled off and stopped. I evaluated the situation, airstrip, half tank of gas, old tires with a fresh set ready to be picked up before the sale, open space, and my right foot. So I did something foolish that I never though I would do. I lit it up, and I lit it up good. A good 15 second burnout in second gear low rpms, feathering the gas, I smelt the smoke, I felt the engine, I saw my work of art. "This is stupid" I thought, "Wasting tires" I stopped, car off, eyes closed, slow breathing. Everything was quiet, and at that point I knew what had to be done was done, I creeped back over to the gates, tossed over the keys, told him to be nice, and cried on my ride home. Twas then my goal changed from trying to attach myself to that car, to planning the build up of what one day will be an amazing machine. Let there be peace, let there be speed, let there be passion...

It's not even the wattage I'm worried about. But if he ever wants to overclock, or even run a mid to high end graphics card he will need alot more amps on the 12v rails.
~Bryan~

I would come make a movie, but I lack the CPU power, LFS hits single digits as soon as I start adding res or some eye candy, firing up FRAPS ontop of it would murder it.
~Bryan~

Oh just so you know, that PSU sounds kind of sketchy. 350W is pushing the bare minimum for that setup, I'm not too sure how a DX10 card would cope with that power, because I can't imagine the 12v rails having alot of juice for the job.
~Bryan~

DX 10 isn't really something to be considering yet, not unless you are hardcore 1337 gamer that needs two 8800 GTX's in SLI. Most DX 10 games that come out in the future will be DX 9 compatable (disabling the DX 10 features) but again, the cards and games won't become mainstream for years...
~Bryan~

Do not get a 8600 GT, even if you are a light gamer. They just do not stand up. a slightly OC'ed 7600 GT or a 7900 GS will kick it in the teeth, and they can be found for the same price and/or cheaper.
~Bryan~

It's the Celeron dude. I have a 2.2ghz OC'ed at 3ghz and I still get some pretty bad FPS drops. It is not a gaming CPU.
~Bryan~

Might be an overheating GFX card, try cleaning out the case. Do you have any case fans? Try uninstalling drivers, make sure they are gone, reboot, install latest STABLE drivers and try again, if problem continues try re-installing LFS.
~Bryan~

P.S. How much and which type of RAM do you have, it could be a related issue. Run some memtests (Super P.I.) to make sure your RAM is stable.

Sorry for trying to start an argument, you just made your first post sound like there is no point in having over 21fps because the eye can't notice a difference, when in reality there is visual differences between say 21 and 50fps, and from 50 to 60fps. Try capping your frame rate to 21 in LFS, then try capping it at 60, see the difference?
~Bryan~

^Um..no. Because films are 23 to 29fps...and I can see differences between 30 and 60fps. So you might want to check that fact...
~Bryan~

Just woke up, when I go to www.lfsforum.net I get a 403 Forbidden error. But when I link to the site (not to main page, but lets say the general discussion board) I can get in, so I came to post this wondering if somethings wrong with the site ATM.
~Bryan~

EDIT: Bahh, never mind. I can get to the site but not when I'm lazy and skip www, I just have to throw in the www before the site and I get in. Strange, Firefox always directed me to the full link before...

Sounds like it could be a buggy driver, or perhaps an actual monitor setting. Look around for Vsync, or anything to do with refresh rates, and check the LFS ingame settings for an FPS limit, and such things
~Bryan~

Do your homework. Study the track, the car, the set. Learn brake points, shift points, accel points. Master the set, know its limits. Then from there start with SLOW laps, then slowly speed up, experiment with lines or study the WR replay to look for best posible lines... Good luck
~Bryan~

How is 37fps 'Jerky and undrivable'?...
~Bryan~

Actually alot of E4300's will do 3-3.1ghz on stock vcore, then hit it at about 3.4-3.6ghz on air, then almost 4 on water/phase cooling. Also Jakg, shut up about your 40% overclock :P its not THAT impressive.
~Bryan~

Haha thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate them. Nice guitars Al Heeley. Do you build to sell? Because I think I might start, I got offered $850 (thats Canadian) for that guitar.

Making a neck from scratch isn't overly hard, just time consuming, and you need to be uber precise.

Sound clips should come either today or tomorow, whenever I get off my lazy ass and setup my station. It's also good to hear about other LFS members playing guitar

Keep on rocking in the free world
~Bryan~

I've been playing guitar just over a year and a half, I have a nicely setup Ovation sitting at my friends place. I like jumping into fingerpicking and arpeggios for the fun of it. It's actually Alder and Maple. And thanks for the comments guys, and yes it has been played alot, already played at a gig just a few days ago.
~Bryan~

Well I was thinking of a solid finish, but went to add a CLEAR coat finish. When I shot it on though it turned into a blonde-ish yellow. So I did the neck to match. I'm happy with the outcome, the pictures don't do it justic, because my camera sucks and I'm a bad photographer.
~Bryan~

Yeh it sounds damn nice, when I get my computer fixed I'll put up some sound clips. I was given a set of 1983 Custom shop Fender pickups for $170, so it sounds damn sexy
~Bryan~

The body and neck were done from scratch, I really wanted a 2 piece body, but cash was an issue, so I settled on 3 pieces. The fretboard and fretwork were done by hand also.
~Bryan~

Well I'm a guitar player, and a while ago I took it upon myself to build a Strat-style guitar for my likings. I don't feel I need to get detailed so here are some shots I just took of the finished product. Comments and questions are welcome.
