RaceSimCentral forums offline after security problem

Members asked about RaceSimCentral being down, and a notice said insecure code had been found and the site was being restructured. Uwe Schurkamp joked that web forums suck, upsetting RSC admin Phil Lee, who described the effort involved; Uwe apologised and many thanked the RSC team while debating newsgroups versus forums.

There's a simple, one-page update at RSC: "We have discovered certain unsecure code in some sub-sites , which resulted in Us taking down the site to restructure the installation in general. Unfortunately we had no time to put out information regarding this, and we therefore hope that we will get the rscnet.org back online real fast." Alan.

You know what, that really makes all the hard work, effort and personal financial investment myself and the other site admins have put into RSC feel really worthwhile. Maybe we should just forget about trying to get the site back online and pull the plug on the forum and websites we host for the community. Thanks once again for your support.

Eeeeasy there now Tiger.... Relax, it's still appreciated. Although the comments about speed (which, as you well know, sux sox nowadays, even if it's mainly due to server hardware and not RSC admins) and not being able to find stuff (a lot of files are still missing after months) did contain the odd grain of truth, as you well know. But the downtime right now kind of reeks like hacker attack or major server error. What happened? Regards, Rudy ---------- GPLRank: -24

In fact, I can't believe my eyes. Newsgroups better than the RSC forum? If that was said in earnest, I'm just about speechless. The sharing of ideas and files - even if some disappear occasionally - and the community spirit is far better than what I find here. At least from my perspective. How many car or track upgrades are posted here? Or have I missed something? Mind you I don't come here often, but this reminds me of why. And speed? Until just a few days ago, it took many hours for posts to appear. There are no moderators here and if I want to wish your pets a painful death or insult people it's a free for all. Ah wait, I think that I see now what the attraction is. Bob Simpson

Don't let the people who prefer usenet get you down. You run a fine site and I, for one, would miss it terribly. Elrikk PS. Usenet is OK though. (when the wacko's leave it alone.) ;o)

Moderators are a double-edged sword, and have ruined many forum sites. There's pros and cons to both formats. >

I've posted in the past that I really do appreciate the work put into, and content, of RSC, but it is *always* hit and miss when it comes to connection speed. I dread using it most of the time. R.a.s is always fast and everything is right in front of me. -- David G Fisher

No moderation either, which can be problematic sometimes, but it also means less gag-worthy c*ck-sucking, so it's a fair swap. Newsgroups are a very efficient way to communicate IMO. I can download all new messages while doing something else, then filter and speed read quickly and easily. Searches via Google Groups are similarly painless if you're careful how you phrase your search. I just wish there was a similarly quick and painless way of searching (multiple) forums, and -- even better -- a way of downloading new (text only) messages for "offline" sorting & reading. I'd pay for something that could manage that trick. Whether most users would pay to access most forums is a different matter. It's easy to appreciate something when it's free. Still, you have to hand it to the guys who keep many useful websites running; they do a great job even if I rarely use them. Andrew McP

Interesting, though, that when RSC is down it doesn't take more than a few minutes for someone to come here and holler. There must be a few people finding it useful ;) Achim
In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (Joachim Trensz) wrote: > Interesting, though, that when RSC is down it doesn't take more than a > few minutes for someone to come here and holler I find it reassuring that even though this group isn't anywhere near as busy as it used to be, many people still seem to use it as a "hub" for their sim news & chat. Old fashioned it may be for some, but reliability has its advantages. A forum can go down or die if a single server falls over somewhere.

I know that you were joking. Never had any doubts about it :) Achim
This Usenet NG and RSC compliment each other very well and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone appreciates what you guys have done and are doing for this community Phil.

Actually Uwe, I was 99.99% certain that you were joking but some others indicated that Newsgroups were more useful than Forums. There's no question that there's a use for each and limitations in each and I have my own preference (forums) of course. Maybe I have no sense of humour, but it seems to me that there are more insults tossed around in the newsgroups owing to the fact that at least this one isn't moderated (AFAIK). Anyway many of us and I in particular really miss my regular fix of RSC and hope that they're back up soon.

Funny how I was just thinking about this the other day! I've heard people refer to ras as a "dinosaur" etc and always wondered why. It will always be here - never to be extinct. Problem with RSC is that it's become as big as bananas and stuff is just too hard to find. Though maybe that could be fixed with better indexing.

Took the words right out of my mouth. There's a lot of places moderated by old women and you need to conduct yourself like an old woman to survive them - killing yourself to live. Moderated forums are good places to send the children, perhaps, but the grown-ups outa be around here - nothing like the wild! :)

>This Usenet NG and RSC compliment each other very well and each hasits own >strengths and weaknesses. Agreed. I'm sorry if my statement of preference was taken as some sort of denigration of the effort that the RSCers put into their site. However It is possible to be appreciative and frustrated at the same time. For simple text explanations of situations and follow up comments/conversations I personally find the threaded text format of most newsgroup viewers such as outlook easier to follow then any web based forum (rsc's threaded layout helped some). I find it fairly easy to ignore entire ng threads about Eldreds weight problems or GWB's manipulation of the weather etc.. and because of the text nature of the ng each actually significant post generally isn't greeted with 14 to 140 posts of rolling/dancing/bouncing smilies saying nothing more then "thank you" or "me too", or "I love you guys" like (all?) webforums generally are. Invariably 30 posts down the smiley chain is a correction/addition to the original information that gets lost in the dross (and generates more smilies). Not being able to post pictures/files is of course a major drawback of ngs. RSC frustrates me sometimes in particular because I know the answer I'm looking for is likely in there somewhere but I can't seem to formulate a query that can find it first time(s), and I invariably wait only 179 seconds before I try my second attempt. I understand the resource limitations behind minimum query lengths and delays between queries but that's of course a direct result of setting up an independent volunteer forum and then loading it full of useful info, you're a victim of your own success. The distributed nature of ngs and the corporate backing behind google's archives makes searching faster (at least for me). The other frustration that is entirely beyond the control of the RSC guys is that even though the league is called RAScar half the members post schedule/venue/setup info here and the other half post it in the rsc forum meaning I had to look both places to get the complete picture ;) Art.

(snip) alt.bin.sim.autos isn't much use if you're on one of the many ISP'ds that don't carry the binary groups which are notorious storage hogs (to say nothing of the complications of all the pron :) ) As others have mentioned both newsgroups and web forums have their virtues and drawbacks.
