Just landed in Historx land....

That old gold and black Escort, a few AI's and Bathurst, awsome:woot2:. Oh, and if anyone spots a 911 in the trees at that ukrally, just after the first hump, its mine. Theres a good chance its broken too:doh:.

Just one problem. This seems to have a really adverse effect on decorating. I think the following smileys are fair representation of Mrs Slider:taz::ranting2::boxing:.

I've just had a kerfuffle with my router which resulted in me kicking it down the stairs! Replaced router, but a new IP was issued at the same time. If you don't see Finnglish in the list the IP is 94.168.126.236. It you use the favourites/Bookmarks you'll have to do it again.
Tip: rFactor\UserData\You\Bookmarks.xml Open it in Notepad and delete the existing Finnglish. Otherwise you'll end up with two entries and only one will work. (trying to keep the frustration factor down

)

*Sigh* I give up. Lately it seems I'm spending more time waiting for the session to open so I can join than I do actually racing. And then when I can finally enter the server everyone's gone! That combined with the fact that there is virtually no racing to be found outside the Finnglish server is really killing this great mod for me :sad:

If you hadn't have been so bloody impatient you would have got some racing. After Watkins Glen when you disappeared, Jamin and Sean joined so with Lameduck, me plus you that makes five. That's the sort of numbers that bring even more in. If you want to be on a busy server you have to contribute to that server. If you simply want full servers the LFS is the place to go. You want HistoriX to be popular, help make it popular.:angry:

What do you mean impatient?! :blink: After Watkins Glen you and Bob both left without saying anything and I sat on the server waiting for you guys to come back. The next track (Long Beach) loaded and I waited a while but since you didn't say if you were leaving or anything I thought maybe there was something wrong or some other event you both had to be at or something so I left. An hour or so later I fired up rF again and I see there's 2 (two) people on - I guess by then two people had already left again -, I try to join but the session is closed. I wait it out, and when I join the server's empty again

Ugh...

Disclaimer: I'm tired and frustrated right now for reasons completely unrelated to this right now, so there's a chance that I'll come across more cross than I intend to be. I don't mean to insult anybody. But....

.... this server and the work that's been put into making it happen is something that I'm very grateful of. It didn't just come to be of itself. Therefore I think we should be thankful for what we've got. If you like it, spread the word, populate the server and enjoy it. If you have constructive suggestions of improvement, Doorz has already shown that he'll listen. (just look at all the tracks that have been added by popular demand, etc.) He's not a dictator.

But: ranting and raving about stuff that's out of his control and he can do nothing about is just silly. Oh noes, nobody else was on when you tried connecting.. well, get over it already. :sideways: Sure you can be displeased and disappointed or whatever, but why come to the forums ranting about it?? It just creates an air of negativity that is competely non-constructive. In general: (and this applies to real life as well) I hate it when people complain about stuff just to complain, when they know already that there's nothing the listener can do about it anyway. It's just unneccessary.

I'm sure you didn't mean to insult Doorz, but still.. the golden rule "think before you post" applies.

Hang on, did I just contradict myself by posting this? :doh:

For my part, I'm sorry if I came over all tetchy. Bob and I (on ventrilo) went to get cars that were more in keeping with yours. By the time we got back you were gone! Anyway, it's been very hot and sweaty here today so let's hope it's cooler tomorrow.
