This is a very good poll.
All you CART fans out there, check it out. I urge you, I beg you, I implore all
of you to vote for a new CART sim!
It is so very unfair that us open wheel CART fans have been deprived of a good
CART sim for so long!
Please.........RAS unite!    We all want the same thing. A good quality racing
simulation.  Nascar has been covered. F1 has been covered. Sportscars have been
covered. Bikes have been covered. Trucks have been covered.  Now it is time for
a CART sim to be produced. With your help, we can show the world that we do
care about CART sims.
Thank you for your time RAS.

Sincerely,
NYR2119935

I think the final result of the poll became obvious very quickly...

"No, too much ego stroking and flaming"

First of all it wasn't.

Obviously, if anybody has a problem with this newsgroup, then he simply
doesn't go and unsubcribe to it.  I think that as much as we have ego here,
he shows the same ego himself by having the stupid idea of this poll.  Whom
does he think he represents by asking a question about a newsgroup.  Why
does he attacks the Usenet with such a thing?  He probably wanted a low mark
for r.a.s. so he could more easily promote his site to game publisher and
producers.  Well wake up, your site takes enourmous time to load and is
biased towards certain types of racing simulations more than others, thus it
cannot trully represent the center of the simracing community.

rec.autos.simulators is the center of the simracing community and will
always be.

You expect us to say nothing about it, and don't do the same about his site?
Sorry but eye for eye I say.

Did you read the article on the site about RAS & the poll?  He explains
the purpose behind the poll in the first place.  Seems he's not a happy
camper either...

Fran?ois,
What types of racing simulations is simracingnews biased to? It is not so
clear to me...
Cheers,

Well as was said on the site, there was too much "box stuffing" for it to be
a valid vote.

Its a shame though that people can ruin some votes they don't like but have
o problem voting in a proper manner when they think it might be to their
benefit!

<yawn>

Another exageration.  I did not know I was in every thread.  If you would
validate your supposed sentence, you'll see that a good portion of thread
don't have me posting into.  A good portion, over 90% of any thread made on
r.a.s.

Looks like I'll have to say something everybody knows but don't want to say.
It's biased against most of the titles by Papyrus.

They tried to attack r.a.s., so I have the right to do the same against
them.

It's not the poll which ruffled RAS's feathers, but the wording of the
options. This poll was way out of line, IMO.

If it had said:

Is RAS still number one for simracing information?

1) Yes, RAS has all the info and the posters are friendly.

2) Yes, RAS has all the info, but some posters are unfriendly.

3) No, moderated, web-based forums offer better, more concentrated
information and a friendly atmosphere is garanteed.

4) RAS??

I don't think anyone would have batted an eyelid. Now, my personal reaction
was: "Who the f**k do those people think they are?" and, for the record,
it's not like me to react like that. -Just an indication of how insulting
the wording was.
If you want an unbiased response to your poll you have to watch what you say
and keep it neutral. People may think there's too much ego and flaming in
RAS when they select number two, but you can't go and spell it out for them.

Any intelligent publisher would have had grave doubts about simracingnews
when presented with the poll, even if we hadn't had got wind of it.

That was not a poll, it was a simracingnews flame directed at RAS and they
roundly deserved the flack they received here. If our reaction bombed a deal
with a sponsor for simracingnews or a publisher, I feel sorry for them, but
they only have themselves to blame.

Not that they learned anything, mind. The CART poll is nearly as bad.
