Forums are nearly done but I'm off out tonight (yeah, I do have a life :tilt so you won't get them til tomorrow afternoonish.

The overhaul will bring these features:

• Upgraded user management (i.e. people will be able to register at the website, even if they are not Moo members)
  
• Upgraded events management (i.e. sign-ups for events, etc.)
  
• A better news system
  
• Much much better admin system
  
• Upgraded Member page(s) (i.e. each member will have their own profile page and their own subdomain)
  
• An upgraded forum (heh, I haven't even got the first version finished and I'm already thinking about upgrading it)
  
• Better applications page
  

That's all I can think of for now. This will be version 2 of the website and I am also hoping for a version 3 eventually (I already have an idea for a major component of that).

If anyone would like to request something then please do and I'll try put it in.

Right, firstly I'll talk about my weekend karting. Frankly it was crap. I couldn't get my engine to run well all weekend. Just when I thought I was getting decent speed out of it someone would just fly past me on the straight. On the Saturday I got taken out and ran over this really evil kerb. It ripped off my front pod and broke an engine mount (an engine mount is solid metal about an inch thick). Repairs cost about £60. Then on Sunday two chains decided to bugger up, one of them making my sprocket have no teeth left whatsoever. Total cost for two chains and a sprocket, £36.

Lined up for the final, last place. Overtake two people on the outside in T1. Hold that position for the rest of the race. Two other novices in front of me spin off so that I'm in second position for the novice cup. 7 laps to go. Desperately hoping the guy in front will spin off too but he doesn't and I end the race in second (13th in the overall race, 2nd novice).

Now that I've told you lot about my weekend I'll give some news on the forum. I said I was gonna do it Friday but it turned out to be a mad rush to get my kart ready so I just didn't have time, sorry about that. I have plenty of time today though. Its about 11am now and I have to go out at about 5pm. That's 6 hours, I think I can do it.

Thirdly I come to news about the IGTC. I have drafted Niko (LFSn00b) into the IGTC team. He is not a Moo member, he is just racing with us for this championship. Also, if any of the Moo members would like to race and they are fast enough then they will be able to take Niko's place. (i.e. Moo members > Niko :tilt

Fourthly, I am thinking about a bit of an overhaul for website. The layout will stay the same but I would like to add quite a few new features. This will take time but I have two weeks off school now so I have plenty of it.

And we come to the last thing....

MOOOOOOOOOO

Oi, my names Danny not Dany

Reinstall LFS. Also, make sure the track is fully loaded before changing car.

Where did I say Melbourne? I never did!

You're wanting my server for this race, right?

Quote from keiran :

[...]Racing in the rain is just so much fun, one of the things I really can't wait to see in LFS. Being up in Scotland I've found myself out in the wet with slicks on many times and that's just so much fun. Although at the time your too busy trying to keep it on track while going quickly to realise how much fun it actually was [...]

Yeah, slicks+rain+2-stroke = fun

There was a good example of marbles last year at Montreal, Villeneuve went into the wall, I'll try find a video on youtube.

Press 'L'

XFR? I only know of a band called Scavier that released an album called Patch W

We've just drafted him in for the IGTC. He's not a Moo member

Please add Niko (LFSn00b) as our fourth driver.

Keep the layouts apart from the pancake one, its just too narrow. Also my vote goes to FE club

Have you installed the chipset drivers? I'll talk on msn.

I'm talking about what you said first, making all the pages, making all the sql queries, building the database tables etc. It really isn't that hard once you have the basic page layout.

EDIT: Yeah, I should update that page. We didn't have an event tonight because I forgot () and my computer decided to bugger itself up. (I'm on a different one atm)

LFS User Account Name Leifde
LFS Racer Name Moo.Leifde
Team (if racing in a team) Moo Racing
Race Number 74

I've made my own forum before, it is not too difficult. I have a day off school tomorrow, I'll try and get it done tomorrow.

Also, about the skinning thing, I find it takes just as long to do that as it does to just create a few database queries.

Ah, quite a while ago then. I don't think police would take you down estates at the moment, they'd probably get stuff thrown at them too Sorry to hear about what happened anyway.

It was called sarcasm I guess.

Yeah, I had some fun there. Came second a lot behind Kajojek.

Woo Leeds FTW. (I was being sarcastic BTW).

When was it and what happened?

And bad to hear about the Man U fans.

Ok, take the word 'patch'. Change the first letter to a 'C'. Change the second letter to an 'R'. Change the third letter to an 'A'. Leave the fourth letter. Change the fifth (last) letter to a 'K'.

Now do you get it?

Sorry for being a bit aggressive last night, I was tired. I know you're just trying to help and its appreciated. The only reason we don't have our own forum is due to the reasons I posted above. If the team members think its OK then I will create one tonight but all the posts will be lost when I implement my forum.

Again, really sorry for being aggressive and thank you for helping. I seem to be doing a few things wrong with the team but I'm learning and we're still together!

We really should get a forum but, for the moment, I don't see the problem in using our own thread here. Its not like we're making tons of new threads, we're just posting in this one. Don't read it if it matters that much to you.

@garph - thanks. Sometimes I realise why some people think this community is hostile. I mean, you only posted a link, you didn't even bother to post any comment about it. Please leave our team alone, we are doing fine. Ok, we may not have a forum yet or a full skinset but we are surviving here and we're becoming good friends. I am sick of people bashing new teams. All other teams started at one time, we've just started later than you lot.

@MBK - I am being over-pedantic but I want to integrate it into the website properly. I'm hesitating to set a phpBB or similar one up now as all the threads and posts would be lost when I made the new system. My Easter holiday is coming soon so it should be fully done by the weekend after Easter.

Yes, I think that is a good compromise, let people choose a different car for this race if they want. If not they can stick with their original car.
