Quote from JPeace :

precisly our point.

NDR would, imo, spend the most out of all the teams, servers,events, etc.
and yet here is proof that either he is a complete idiot that has just got conned out of thousands of dollars, or he is lieing and doesn't have a clue about running a team/clan/orgy at all.

We spend 80 Euros a month on a dedicated server, which runs numerous LFS Servers, websites, FSX Server and a lot more stuff But then again we have quite a lot of members to share the cost between...

Big tasty mcbacon

Ewwwwww! I hate making them at McD's they take so long and so don't look good IMO

Okay I'll look into it further, if you could please provide the replay? Since you've already got the screenshot I'll presume you have the replay.

Quote from Grigorov :

I don't care about the ban but i care about the rubish administration in this server. You are right about to have fun and race and you cannot watch every single incident but in the server with more than 25 racers in race 50% of them that are new and they try to win the race before the first turn and the presence of more than 3 or 4 mass crashes in one race one of the admins needs to be a spectator.
3 admins and they are all in the race and nobody care about the anarchy on the track

Of course we care about our administration. We usually have someone around who is not racing that can administrate, but not always. We also do a bit whilst we are racing, e.g. kicking the noobs standing on track etc..

This is also one of the reasons we have the kick-vote system in place, so that if an admin is not around or racing you can start a kick-vote.

I've asked the admins that were around at the time as to exactly what had happened. The response I got from them that firstly "[NFR]Smiley" was banned after behaving inappropriately e.g telling an admin to "shut the f up". [NFR]Smiley has been banned for 12 hours.

From what I've heard you were constantly arguing, telling us how we should administrate our own server. May i just add you were banned by people that were on the server at the time, not the [FM] team members. Your ban is also 12 hours.

Just to add to your point, "why are all the admins racing and not doing their job" Is there anywhere in our or anyone else's rules where says we are not allowed to participate in our own racing server? I don't think so. We are allowed to have fun and race, we cannot watch every single incident, that's why we created a forum where you can posts reports and such in.

lets see expencies for a Team.

1) Site (A good team has a Paid site.) $10.00 /year Domain Name & $15.00 /month for site hosting comes to $190 a year.

2) Servers (Any good team has more then one server so that can get spendy really quick.) with my present host I pay $6.00 every two months for this one server.

3) insims (If you don't have a programmer in your team you got to pay a programmer to make insims for your servers) depending on teh programmer that could range from as little as $25.00 to as high as $250.00

4) Skins (with the [TID] we were needing all the cars skined so it would have been best to pay someone to skin all the cars) We were looking to pay a skinner for $300.00 to have 7 skins made for each car.

In total you could be spending as little as $50 to $250.00 in any given Month.

I was basiclyt paying $56.00 a month for the normail expences and inaddition to taht anther $550 for insims and skins to be made.

At teh moment the insim is being made but the skins are on hold.

With any good team that expence would be shared with its team members. With a Club That expence is payed for buy donations and the Club leader.

1. http://teaminsanedragon.freephpnuke.org/ that's the domain of your old website, which if I'm not mistaken is free for life?

2. $36 per year for a server that's damn cheap, you're looking at that for a decent VPS host ..

3. You do not need an Insim, you want one it was your choice to have one made not anyone else's. So this is not a requirement..

4. Skins? You can easily knock a few up in photoshop, doesn't have to be professional, just unique to your team. So you don't have to pay $300 for skins, once again you choose that route.

And your last point:

They're exactly the same thing!

The Members of [TID] Team Insane Dragons has decided to look for a New Home Due to Expencies to keep our team going is too spendy to keep going on our own. We will be applaying at A team's website as a Group. So Team keep a look out for myself (ghostrider83), & my Wife Bell, (insanedragon). My mother (redwolfwitch) as decided to go out on her own to learn more about the game and we wish her luck.

@Jeff -[TID.RD] DarkstaRRR - gh0sty I'm sorry but but where we are looking they don't accept Demo players we wish you the best and hope you find a new home.

So only sixteen days later you've managed to start yet another team after closing your previous one "due to expenses" .......

Quote from jakeeatworld :

I'd like to be working on racing cars, mechanical or technical, but i doubt it will happen ;p

Never doubt your goals, if that's what you want as your goal then go for it. No point saying it's not going to happen because chances are when you think like that it's not going to .. So think on the positive side!

For crying out loud, who cares if you did or did not get informed by your friends if the college were accepting the applications or not.

I'm pretty much sure you have the internet at your house, you could have done a quick google search and found when they were accepting the applications. Then apply, you don't need people to hold your hand all the way though your bleeding life! /rant over

Good luck gents! Hopefully see a few of you racing soon Although I'm not on as much as i used to be

Personally I don't see what he's going to be doing if he does get unbanned. What team would want him now?

Renault has just announced Eric Boullier as their new team principal. That's breaking news i think

Quote from Becky Rose :

So many of you posting "I want a GF out of 2010". Have you tried actually talking to girls?

Personally I just ditched mine, but long ago I realised finding women isn't terribly difficult. You just have to accept you are going to get rejected - but usually we are scared of that because we 'love' someone too much to loose them, but what we love is the idea of them. That feeling of butterflies in your stomach, that's not love - that's nerves - and it's a wonderful fealing. The thrill of the chase! It's fantastic.

It's ok to be rejected, it's ok to run on adrenaline, and it's ok to be rejected. You tried, and that's so much better than fart arsing about for 3 years kicking yourself for waiting for the perfect opportunity that'll never arise because you're always looking for an excuse not to ask her out.

Just get over yourself, accept that getting it wrong is part of life, and start dating already.

I'm not beautiful, ask anyone who's been to the LFS meets, and i'm only out of love for as long as I want to be out of love. When I want a relationship i've found one within weeks.

It really is that simple.

You don't need chat up lines (although I personally love them, I love the intensity of the moment), you dont need guts. You just need to accept that she might not be the one.

I understand what you mean and I have to say I agree with it, It's just I'm not the out and about every weekend getting drunk out my head stereotypical teenager. I prefer to stay in and have a good banter on LFS and with FM rather than getting so drunk that I cannot remember what I did the previous night. Which I've been there and done that, and really did not like it that much.

So that's why I firstly posted that I should sort out my personal life, new friends maybe? So I'll just have to see happens ...

• Sort out my personal life
  
• Pass my Highers (Revision starts soon )
  
• Try and pick a career which I'll enjoy and start planning for it
  
• Pass my driving test + get a car
  
• Get a Girlfriend? Not all too bothered if this does or does not happen, just would be nice if I did.
  

That's pretty much what I'd like to happen this year, if it does it's a boost and if it doesn't then there's always next year.

Quote from Fire_optikz001 :

It is in a data center in Georgia, USA

Which specific Data center?

What happens if I were to buy a server from you, put my insim on it then the server died and I lose the copy on my machine, Do you have a backup policy in place? Encase the scenario happens

Have you tried perhaps using an impact screwdriver? Usually does the trick for me whenever a screw is stuck

Quote from Mango Juice :

Why not?

Why should they? It's their game after all they don't need to update it at all..

Right who actually cares if he did or did not have a USA server to begin with, the fact now is that he has both a european and an american server so it makes no difference.

Stop bitching for once it's christmas day! We should all be singing, dancing and getting drunk!

Won't happen. You're basically saying he's gonna win the championship. It won't happen.

Why not?

Quote from Dajmin :

I didn't ask for anything else, because there's nothing I want that can be bought and I'd rather people saved their money. I expect there'll be Haribo and socks in there somewhere though.

I'm afraid you have forgotten the 100 packs of deodrants and what not that I always seem to get at Christmas, Or is it just me that get them? Wait they're trying to say something aren't they .. damn!

Quote from ensiferumm :

Why should I even bother going over to their crappy forum, wait for their admins to activate my account, make a well made post with effort put in it and then be flamed/circlejerked by bunch of pissed off 13-15yr olds?

Do you have proof that the people who are in the Fragmaster team are a "bunch of pissed of 13-15yr olds"?

Well here's a fact for you: I'm the youngest on the FM team at 16 years old, The rest are all over the age of 18...

Quote :

and tbh I dont even care if the ban was justified or not, I think from reading all these complaints, one can tell very well what sort of people these admins are and how they do their job

Well if you do not care, why on earth are you posting here complaining about it?

Please do join up to our forums and post a replay of the incident in question, We will then review your ban and justify whether it was deserved or not: Bare in mind it is usually reviewed by several team members.

Am I the only under 20 here who dosen't have a games console?

I've got a PS2 but mind you I've not touched it in about 2+ years haha. Don't really see any need for them to be honest, the games are way to expensive for them..
