Let me see if I got this straight:

A couple of days ago Lible announced that he's been working on a new project that's going to open soon. The logo and thread title contains the domain lfsdb.net.

And three days later Birder goes ahead and registers that domain?

Quote :
Domain Name: LFSDB.NET
[...]
Creation Date: 28-aug-2010
[...]
Administrative Contact:
Casey, Colin colin@otus.co.uk

That's just .... I can't even ... I'm lost for words!

Quote from birder :To be fair Lible I think its time I stopped supporting anything to do with LFS

Yeah, perhaps you should.

I think he has come up with something awesome that I've never seen before! I'd love to try it!

If I was to put together a brand new system I would definitely go with a Solid Slate Disk as a system disk rather than a classic HDD. Sure they're more expensive and you get less storage for the buck, but they're darn fast! And likely to last longer, too.

Check out either OCZ Vertex 2 or Corsair Force!

Quote from boswell3782 :Any ideas? :-


Shouldn't there be a destination address/hostname somewhere in that table, so the router knows which local PC (server) to forward the packets to?

What router have you got?

What? Seriously? :P

I thought more highly of you, Dustin! Getting a new IP should not be that hard.

Quote from joebob4441 :youtube videos wont work, the only buffer but wont load or play. anyone no how to fix this?

Happened to me as well. Clearing cookies/cache did not help in my case. I solved it by re-installing the Flash Player.

The 500servers link seems to be invalid.

Try this: http://www.500servers.com/kart ... eos/lfs_kartmeet_2010.wmv

Edit: Sweet vid, Michael! A nice mix of partying (well ... ), trackside cams and helmet cams!

Thanks for putting it together!

Quote from Mp3 Astra :I refuse to let you watch a video which is carried by the sweet music which I have added. I'm uploading to somewhere else.

Franky's FTP? Then we'd actually get the copy you encoded and not a re-encoded copy from a video site!

Quote from nigelpm :In the car on the way back we were discussing the quality of the drivers and in particular in comparison with the previous year - much improved overall we felt.

I might as well open up that can of forms and come off as whiny, but I, love and behold, disagree! In my most subjective opinion the racing spirit was, at more than one occasion, dreadfully low. I quickly got used to having my rear bumper bumped (once off the track!) in T1, t-boned/dive bombed in the corkscrew as well as the following tight left hander. I, if I may say it myself, am experienced enough to know when I've been fairly beat, then I gladly make room and tip my hat to the person who overtook me, but loosing a position to someone who simply cut your line and push you out of the way spoils the fun and becomes very, very frustrating.

I am not a saint, Becky can vouch for this - But I really think we all could help to improve the fun and racing quality by trying to remember the basics of racing that this sim of ours has taught us!

With that off my chest,

Everyone! Thanks for another wonderful meet! I had loads of fun at the track as well as at Jason's! It's great to have been able to put a few more faces on the names from the forum and to have made another bunch of friends (I hope! ).

I will do my very best to attend more meets in the future!

The Swedes safely made it back home! Including Mike who is now able to be with his beloved Anna during the delivery!

Time for me to return to reality, or to be more precise, the bed since I've got work in the morning! Will post again tomorrow!

Quote from Wilko868 :Thanks for the opportunity to watch what we're bloody missing thanks to my crappy scheduling!

EDIT: Shame the chat is spoilt a bit by some wee bairns.

Quote from AMB :Can anyone pull ip's from the chat and match up with forum accounts?

@ Someone in chat using my name (brt900) or shadowww

Sorry, I cant really pay full attention to what is going on in the chat but if you PM the names I'll have a look. Me and Franky should be able to take care of whatever shenanigans people might come up with!

Rather obvious I guess given my previous post, Jason - but that part looks good to us. The Pies are happy!

Quote from jasonmatthews :If anyone in this list would rather go in a team of 4 then let me know. We can sort this out tomorrow night for the details, but I thought it best to let you all know my plans.

*17. Andreas B £55
*19. felplacerad £55
*30. Holtti.Jr £55

Cool! Me, Andy and Mike would very much like to be on a three man team if that can be arranged - If it can't, no problem. I think we might have a backup plan in store.


Quote from jasonmatthews :For those getting an airplane, I have enough spare sleeping bags and sofa's so you won't need to bring that, a bit less luggage

Sweet. I won't bring mine then.

Quote from rediske :Hope there will be live coverage, video/audio streams etc to follow on the day...

(on the 24th I won't be leaving home because this years 'love parade' is 2.5km away from my door... :schwitz

That could be arranged, theoretically. We've got all the equipment necessary to provide a live stream, at least from Jason's. But last year we had to go offline due to sub-par full duplex - A lot of people wanted to watch some live broadcast of a LFS race!

I'll make sure we give it a shot though!

Quote from obsolum :I've only ever played a few times on a HC server. But just because a server is displayed as HC doesn't mean it's got all the HC options on. If any of these settings exist a server will display as Hardcore.

isHardcore = true
infoFriendlyFire = true
infoAutoBalance = false
infoKillCam = false
infoMiniMap = false
infoCrosshair = false
info3DSpotting = false
infoMiniMapSpotting = false
info3PersonVehicleCameras = false

So a server might just have the 3rd person camera for vehicles disabled and it will display as a HC server but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll die any quicker or whatever

Hmm, how peculiar. Thanks for the info!

Quote from rediske :yeah, the rally pack.... *sigh*

(another lie)

BS! Another typical example of someone clinging on to something the development team once said they would like to do. For years a lot of people have been complaining about the lack of communication from the developers - well, here's your answer to why they generally are being more in-communicative (this is also something that has already been explained in depth by Scawen).

The rally pack was first mentioned in 2005 or 2006. Get over it. Should it be released one day, fine, but there's no need to clutter the forum complaining about stuff like this over and over again.

Wow! That's one idiotic news article! Such a nice portrayal of war! I always thought the term "War Hero" was just something they used in war novels. No wonder so many people are volunteering to become a soldier, then.
