Just wondering, I started reading RAS as soon as GPL came out, I never knew about it before. Just read a post in which someone told about the talk on RAS when the expension pack for Indycar game out. That's a long way back... Andre

Well, Ive been involved in it since GP2 came out (when was that...1995??) but I think it was a few years old even then. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Just wondering, I started reading RAS as soon as GPL came out, I never > knew about it before.

Ok seriously... You can find an archive of all newsgroup propoasls at this FTP address : ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/ Here is part of the proposal : ======================== From [email hidden] Tue Oct 12 15:07:11 1993 From: [email hidden] (Afzal Ballim) Subject: RFD: rec.autos.simulators Date: 12 Oct 1993 14:25:40 -0400 Organization: University of Geneva, Switzerland Sender: [email hidden] Approved: [email hidden] Message-ID: <[email hidden]> This is a Request For Discussion on the creation of a newsgroup for computer simulations of automobiles. Group Name --------- rec.autos.simulators Status ------ Unmoderated Rationale --------- There is an increasing amount of software on the market that provides simulation of automobiles (both in competitive and non-competitive circumstances). This software is often multi-platform and so no platform-dependent newsgroup would provide an appropriate discussion forum for it. In addition, rec.autos is an inappropriate forum as that group is not intended for discussion of software. It is intended that rec.autos.simulators would provide a forum where people could discuss such automotive simulation software irrespective of the platforms on which it runs, and that abstract technicalities of such software could also be discussed. Email I have received, plus discussions in various newsgroups (comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc, rec.autos.sport) and on the F1 Grand Prix mailing list, has made it clear that such a group would be welcomed by many usenetters. Charter ------- This newsgroup will be used for discussions of computer simulations of automotive vehicles, irrespective of the platforms on hich said simulations are supported. This will include simulations which have a competitive component (racing simulations) and those which do not. Topics will include (but are not restricted to): o Global characteristics of particular simulations. o Platform-dependent characteristics of such simulations (as a convention, it is suggested that such discussions list the platforms in the subject header, e.g., Subject: [ibm-pc,sun] Blog's Yugo simulator o Design and implementation issues of such simulations. o General discussion of automobile simulations. Voting ------ If all goes according to plan, voting will take place 21 days from the posting date of this RFD. This RFD is being posted to the following newsgroups: news.announce.newsgroups news.groups rec.autos rec.autos.driving rec.autos.sport comp.sys.amiga.misc comp.sys.atari.st comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc comp.sys.mac.misc Follow-ups directed to news.groups -- Afzal Ballim | Internet: [email hidden] ISSCO, University of Geneva | X400: S=afzal;OU=divsun;O=unige; 54 route des Acacias | PRMD=switch;ADMD=arcom;C=ch CH-1227 GENEVA (Switzerland) | UUCP: mcvax!cui!divsun.unige.ch!afzal ============================ -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

I feel like an old fart now 8) But Frankie, you act exactly the same NOW...even worse, in some respects. And what's with this British affectation lately -- "bloody" this and "sod" that? The one thing that you HAVE improved slightly in the last five years is your English, but it still ain't THAT good. Speaking of which, you really oughta run the text on your website through a spell check program -- only takes a minute, and makes you look somewhat less of a dweeb. Somewhat. BB

Im sorry but it's useless to talk with you on the basics of having a decent conversation about racing simulator issues. You seems to be on an anti-ymenard crusade for no reason since you came back more actively to this newsgroup. You probably missed the 3-4years between the bad and the current events here. Of course, how do you personally help the community? > And what's with this British affectation lately -- "bloody" > this and "sod" that? It shouldn't be of anybody's business of how I connotate my sentences with stylistic words. I could use none/nadda/niet, but I have personally grown up in a family who has some roots to England, and such words I speak in real-life. I always "ise" my words as you may have seen, which made for some quite good discussions from time-to-time on the N3.discussion newsgroup ;) > The one thing that you HAVE improved slightly in > the last five years is your English, but it still ain't THAT good. > Speaking of which, you really oughta run the text on your website Website? Oh you mean WeRace.net? Someday when people have time we will rewrite the page, but it's somehow on hold considering the LAN races, the raceserver.net growth and the potential NOTS (Nascar Online Tournament Series) in the N3 community.

Agreed. Bartie, I rooted for you during your Ferrari barge-board duel with John W., but you've obviously eaten something very bad for your tummy lately. You make me want to give David G. a hug; and that's inexcuseable.
