No doubt.  One of the slowest forums around.  Something needs to be done.

Like donating money?

I mean, no offense, but here are a few facts:

RSC currently has 69701 users.
RSC is run by volunteers.
RSC lives off of donations.

Throw in the fact that recently the person who founded and was largely
running the site out of his own pocket was driven away by constant
attacks by scumbags like Alex Martini and the A.S.S.hole crew and it's
surprising RSC is still around, quite frankly.  If I were Tim Wheatley,
I would have shut the site down completely a long time ago.

    What's the link with rFactor - it looks like rFactor is getting
excellent mileage from RSC. Has rFactor made a nice big donation to RSC?

   The rF forum has been hugely negative the first few days.

I would've shut it down too.  It is really slow, and that's a fact.  Who is
running it and what that person gets as far as monetary support is not the
issue.  The issue is that it is slow.  If what you say is true, why does the
guy continue to run the thing?

I'm not about to donate money simply because the forums are that important
to me.  You do get some decent information from them, but more often it's
just a place where everyone badgers games, as if they could do any better.
The simplicity of it is this: if you don't like a game don't buy it.  And if
you don't buy it (or get a refund in rFactor's case), don't complain.
Giving level-headed and relatively true criticisms can improve a product.  I
just don't see a bunch of sane responses at RSC or elsewhere, for that
matter.

I go to forums to get hints and stuff, not to hear complainers complaining
about the most miniscule issue.

A little OT, I know.  The forum is slow, and that's the way it is.  I can
live with it.  Everyone wants a donation.  And if I gave a donation to
everyone who wanted one, I'd be a defunct MFer.  :)

I'd be willing to dispute that.  I've had problems accessing it because
the crappy Microsoft architecture they're hosted on can't handle lots
and lots of simultaneous PHP threads, but in those cases the site is
totally inaccessible rather than slow.  I can't honestly say I've had
problems simply browsing the site when it's available.
