I never said DGF decided RASCAR was Nascar only. It was a group decision, I
dont exactly recall who was saying that but I do remember numerous people
agreeing (Larry and Coorsman come to mind). I very much disagreed and
argued for my 2 cents worth but that was the extent of it. Did I make a big
stink back then?
The next week I showed up for a race and all of a sudden were using some
crazy setup from Coorsmans friend or something. How could this be, I
thought to myself. Since when does RASCAR change to a CUSTOM setup just a
day or two prior to the race?? Never. All of a sudden without my consent
were changing the rules and my complaints were completely ignored. And I
mean COMPLETELY. So complete that most of you probably don't even remember
because I didnt make a huge deal about it.
Then along comes ole Freddy wrecking me 2 races in a row all the while
spewing his nonsense here on RAS but you all cant even get together to give
the sad little shit a warning let alone ban him as he should have been.
Again my complaints totally ignored.
Then all of a sudden the Server admin wasnt sending me any email or giving
me the normal server updates. Ive always wondered why considering I was the
main point of contact and set the entire deal up to begin with... Just
another notch to make me wonder wtf DGF was up too.
The last time I was at the RASCAR site the last update was 3/05 and the RSC
forum was gone so as far as I was concerned RASCAR as an entity was gone
(and being how most of the drivers wanted a Nascar only series and we dont
have a decent Nascar sim I put 2 and 2 together but came out with 5).
Can you tell me why any of that happened? Ive sure wondered and havent any
conclusion except what Ive outlined in these threads.
What exactly did I do and when to invite this issue?
