  Lol, better than being a cheat and hacker though, eh ?  You want to talk
about "harm(but a champion bullshitter) to the community", look in a mirror
next time.

I've also got the AeroWar mod on our league site (along with the other mods
as a mirror for the Pits). I emailed Jan on Saturday or Sunday to let him
know I put the files there (we had a race using the mod last night). You can
find it under Mod Files at http://gscl.cta-racing.com.

Thanks for the link Michael.

As for theuspits.com, I do have a suggestion.  Since most of the bad
*** that exists comes in the form of people overusing their right to
free speech on the forums, why not re-invent the site without the
forums on it?  Just my 2 cents.  Its one of the best Nascar Racing
simulation sites there ever was.

Seems like a good idea.  Anyway, people often overlook the fact that they
have no "right" to free speech on privately run web forums...

So sorry to see you guys go. Your service was greatly appreciated
here. I typically checked USPits daily, like reading the daily news.
Best wishes, always!

    Or get rid of the glass jaw! A site like the US pits needs a forum. And
the way to run a forum is this - if a thread breaks down to insults and/or
bad language only, then shut it and maybe a few bannings in extreme cases.
Protecting emotional little 5 year olds that have something said that upsets
them a bit is pathetic. I was involved in something like this on those
forums a few weeks ago and Jan had a bit of an emotional outburst - the
thread was closed the next day. I remember thinking then that someone needs
a holiday. If you can't say what you think on a forum then that forum is
worthless. Many the moderator expects niceness to win out over honesty and
will tolerate nothing else - that's a forum I have no interest in.

    Thank *** for ras - LOL. Long live ras!

    Oh yeah, so what do they have a right to then? Sucking up to the
moderator and being a clone of an old woman? Talking shit? Sounds like you'd
give the moderator a headjob! LOL.

    Wake up pal!

    Like Jack Nicholsen says - "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

    And if you cant - DONT RUN A FORUM! FFS.

    If that was true, and it isn't, then no loss.

    You know, I was about to say thank frig for GTR when it hit me. Jan and
Co have seen GTR and probably realise that all their expertise with things
Papy is about to be worthless. Thus the statement about no more NR2003
support. This no doubt has played a role too. A culmination of things.
