The following list of threads to avoid was inspired by recent RAS
discussions:
<--- Spam --->
Any post with XXX in the subject
Any post with Britney Spears in the subject
Any post that refers to earning lots of money in the subject
Any post by Don Wilshe(1)
<--- It's all Subjective --->
What's the best [insert hardware component here] for racing sims
What's the best computer for racing sims
What's the best racing sim
Is [Insert Racing Title] an arcade game or a sim
Which is better, brand x or brand y
<--- Who Cares --->
What's your favorite sim
What's your favorite track
<--- The Answer is Self Evident --->
Why hasn't anyone made a CART sim in such a long time(2)
How do I get below 1:30 at Monza in GPL(3)
Is it ok to download warez(4)
Why doesn't a racing simulator have a save game feature(5)
<--- Absolutely Ridiculous --->
I invented RAS
I am the king of RAS
Why isn't Noonan's track converter free
Y2K or U1e9 will be the end of the world as we know it
#--- Footnotes ---#
(1) There once was a time, I think I remember, when Don made some useful
posts but it's literally been years since he's posted anything but marketing
hype.
(2) If you're truly a big CART fan then you'll know that CART is not exactly
hot property right now, TV ratings are down and attendance is down. It's
become sort of an F1 minor league circuit with very little american talent
or interest.
(3) You Practice.
(4) If you have to ask the question then you already know the answer and
you're only seeking justification.
(5) Because it's a racing simulator and races don't stop until they are
done.

Hey look at that. I used to be funny before I grew up. Don't have much
time for racing sims any more, a couple laps of GTR once in awhile, but
I do lurk here on occasion.
