Sounds nice, indeed  ;) Unifying the scoreboard database would make not only browsing but also statistics gathering (either manual, by the users, or automated, server-side) much easier.  Would it also mean we might have the graphical scoreboard for old races too?  :) Mingva's suggestions about the pipsqueak profiles are nice as well, but they imply unifying profile pages from different years, and I guess that might too troublesome difficult to pull off. And since he also mentioned dropdown lists, one minor usability issue is that at pages such as Sent Replays Analysis or News Archive the dropdown list does not retain your latest selection. That is most noticeable on the Sent Replays page, as whenever you're checking consecutive races you need to set the year every time you change to the next track.

Anyway we must think about a big advertising or else for zct100. It must be the best race ever and with the most quantity of pipsqueaks possible :)

Since the buzz about Z100 is already on, let me ask a silly technical question: will the track file really be called ZCT100.TRK? I know it looks awesome, but having three-digit file names would cause trouble for archiving purposes due to alphanumeric order (the track selection menu it would end up as: ZCT09, ZCT10, ZCT100, ... , ZCT20, etc.). I suggest considering the alternative of naming the track files as ZCTA0, ZCTA1, etc. Maybe it is too confusing, but at least we would avoid any sorting issues of that kind until ZCT359  :)

4dsl tracks were built in a big terrain as you can see in the image the first 6 tracks. All the tracks were consecutives and were conected by the terrain.

The Middle-Earth, I suppose? (Rivendell, Mordor, etc.)  :)

I forgot Duplode came from 4dsl jaja DQF :D

Jaja, so you did get my mails!  :D I had no motivation to join the community or pursue the issue further back then, but I always wondered why I never made it to the scoreboards - at least now I know I was officially DQF'ed  :D

And of course: bring La Liga on!  8)

No problems from my POV either. And all it takes to clear any objections is to do wiki.stunts.hu/index.php/Paradisio : #REDIRECT [[Mingva]]  :)

Up to now I held the prediction that no split would actually happen, as none of the involved parts would be willing to burn money by the end of the day. In fact, I still think so - but with a lot less confidence now...

What a shit for these times ^_^. I mean it's like NFS 1 (a great game if you played it back in 1995) but the graphics are very bad compared to NFS Underground 2 and games like that. Dissapointing.

I see what you mean. I remember how I just went WOW! when I got NFS II Special Edition for birthday in ~1997 - and my PC didn't even have those fancy 3dFX cards on which the game was supposed to be run  :) I played a bit of Test Drive Off Road by that era (can't remember whether it was TDOR1 or TDOR2), it was a nice one.

Great news! And I get what you mean on "being intuitive, think analytically and strategically" - text analysis and communication strategies seem something quite enjoyable to work on to me  :)

You are gay!
Great! Then you're not alone anymore. 8)

As far as I know only the two "old" Cork guys are bisexuals (okay, maybe only just quarter-gays :D) in this community.

Pfff... how come did you never wonder why I use purple cars in my replays?  ::) :D :P

Weren't it for the fact I do not drink, I would bet, as it seems that your negativity tends to be just a defence mechanism :-) Good luck ;-)

I voted for Argammon because it is an option that makes no sense within the context of this poll. Alain could be fun, though, as I always had some curiosity to see him racing actively...

Amusing dream, Zak!  :D Guess we all would enjoy a I(c)SM, as JTK put it   :)

Kaka is a word for shit in Hungarian. ;D

In Portuguese too  :D (that's why it is Kaka'/Kaká, with the diacritical indicating emphasis on the second "ka", instead of just Kaka)

BTW, I don't think Duplode looks like that... I think he's got dark brown hair, is really tall and thin (but not as much as you, he) and and has a pale face...

Should I clear up the controversy?  :)
(I'm the guy wearing a pink shirt. BTW, seeing me with short-trimmed hair is not very common; in other circumstances Zak would be able to verify I do have very curly hair  :))

But the good thing is that even with those players, they will still not be as good as Barcelona. You can't just buy the hottests names in the world and expect them to work as a team.

Did you mean: Chelsea


I remember that four years ago or so I did get pretty angry with the buying machine Chelsea had become; now with their relative lack of success (relative to how much they spent, of course - no CL wins, etc.) I do not care any more. Beyond a certain point, the quality of a team does not grow linearly with the money spent...
