Where'd everyone go?

Ok, so it's been a few years since i've visited r.a.s. regularly, and
apparently that's true for a lot of other people, too. I remember when r.a.s
would get a few hundred posts a day. I'm talking way back to the TEN days.
Now it's nearly dead. So where is everyone? Is there a new hideout everyone
goes to?

Others went to alt.one-sided-political-rants.unmoderated and  alt.no-
shades-of-grey-in-my-world.com  to avoid poluting this forum with non
sim racing posts. ;)

haha... nice. My favorite guy was Y2KRick. Man, that guy was crazy! This
Mitch character can only dream to be as profound and dissruptive as Y2KRick
was.

Mitch who?

Oh, the "used to be a nice guy who has completely lost his mind or
something" guy I have plonked?

I'll tell ya, the whole Mitch thing is a mystery to me.

I agree, very weird what heppened there.

BTW, while there's not much activity here these days, most questions get
answered, and even if it's only some link to RSC or so. ;-) Still a top
notch simracing group here, maybe not by volume, but who cares, it's
easier to follow that way ;-)

I think this is due to a saturation of simulation type games,
and a bit of burn out for the people that have been playing
racing games since before 2000. The impression I got is that
the players are always waiting for the next best thing, and
with GTLegends, GTR2, and all the mods now available for
rFactor, I'm not sure how well the next racing simulation game
is going to sell.

?????????????????

WHAT  --  There's something other than rFactor?  (and the 20 mods I have
installed)??

I wouldn't know.... there's not enuff time as it is to do all I want in rF.

?????????????????

No burn-out here.

And while there may be saturation (?), there is no clear stand-out quality
wise.  IMHO the one SIM that stands out isn't available any longer (NR2003).
At least not through normal channels.

I think there are some really exciting times ahead, however.

Which is why a large number of players are waiting for "the
next best thing" to be released.
