Time for some celebrating, the GPL community has hit the 200 mark!! MadCowie took the 200th spot with the beta of Stunt Car Racer's Hump Back track. GPL Track Database http://magnust.d2g.com (note: if you also count simply reversed tracks or day/night graphics only conversions we have many many more...) /Magnus T

Not bad for a four-year-old game :-) Will it ever end? <serious bit starts> Not unless something better comes along, and I can't see it on the horizon (unless WSC appears from - almost literally - nowhere). And of course, any new game - however "open" - is going to have an introductory period while people learn the file formats etc. I think GPL will still be pre-eminent in the addons field on its 5th birthday, and beyond. <serious bit ends> So many tracks to crash at, and so little time to do it. I wonder if I'll have finished my own track before the 300 mark is reached? Maybe not, at this rate :-) Blimey, getting a bit blas� now, aren't we? Remember when Solitude came out, how we were all in awe of the place? (And rightly so - it's still a wonderful achievement today). Or, going back even further, Dave Noonan's Brands Hatch? Those were the days... And still the community comes up with great new ideas... a certain database I could mention being among the best in a long time. Thank you, Magnus! :-D -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

My track directory in GPL is 2.5+ Gigabyte! That's would be a BIIIG zip file, hehe! Anyway I don't think publicly distributing all the tracks without the authors consent is a good idea... "Douglas S.
