IWCCCARS = FAILURE

14 posts by 12 people · 26 Jan 1997 - 02 Feb 1997

Everyone at IWCCCARS, please do us a HUGE favor. Shut down the project and take the web site off the internet FOR GOOD. It is obvious that the people who have taken over the project are incapable of producing the quality cars and timely updates that we have came to enjoy under the previous administration. After several weeks, there are still areas of the web site that are "broken" and updates have been painfully slow. In addition, the site has been down and inaccesible on several occasions, for long periods of time. IWCCCARS no longer lives up to its reputation, but I admit that we were all spoiled by Tony Johns. If you can't simply shut down the project, please change its name, to clarify that it is NOT the same IWCCCARS and that we can no longer expect the same timeliness and quality that was previously established.

Unfortunately sites that need a lot of space and have a lot of traffic cost quite a bit to keep up. If you'd care to donate some server space we'd be more than happy to move the page to a faster site. Until then, we'll have to make due with the space The Pits has allocated to us. The areas of the site that are broken (the forms) are due to a missing CGI script, which we are waiting to be installed. As for the quality of cars, the artists and contributors are the same as before. If anything, I feel that the N2 cars are much better than any our previous efforts. If you don't like the site it's no big deal, don't use it. I'm sure you'll still see our cars posted on other sites anyway (many with no credit given). -- The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars/index.html http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/ Buford T.

Why don't you do "us" a favor and step in front a fast moving bus! IWCCCARS is free and only there for our benefit! For Christs sake.....just don't go there if you are unhappy. You are a complete and total moron.

Good grief Charlie Brown. Why don't you just remove the link from your browser? Wham , the site is gone. I would express my opinion of a dumbass who complains about free stuff, but D & Terry seem to have beaten me to it. Regards,

Not exactly a tactful response, huh? But then again, sometimes the direct response is best. In this case, timely and correct. Even if they post only one car a month, it's better than nothing. Which in my case is what I'd get in new cars if weren't for those like IWCCCARS and Alex's Nascar Pit Shop. I'm as artistic as a stump and really appreciate what all these guys are doing for the rest of us. There's an old saw about looking a gift horse in the mouth. . .
Dear Bufford T. Justice( you've been watching to much Smokey and the Bandit) If you don't even have the guts to post your e-mail address then you shouldn't even be posting. You obviously don't understand what it takes to build a web site and keep it up to date. I think Dave and the gang at IWCC are doing the best job possible. People don't have a lot of spare time. That's what makes this site, spare time. A site move is probably the next hardest thing to do besides building a site. You have to edit HTML to make things work on a new server and some thing that worked on the old server won't work on a new one. Tony put a lot of his time and life into IWCC and he was an amazing man for that but Dave may not have the spare time Tony did. Updates won't come as often. Get used to it and give things time to settle down. IWCCCARS is not a failure, it is one of the best and most needed site on the web for the sim racer. I wish I could be affiliated with such a great site. Great job guys, keep up the good work. Cowen Wilson, happy to know IWCCCARS is out there -------------------- http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/7137

VERY HARSH !!!!!!!!! ............... AND I LIKE IT! :-) Couldn't have said it better myself!
First off, if you can even sign your real name, you have no creditability. Second, if you don't like what they have to offer, don't visit their site. Third, does your mommy know your are using her computer? Troll. Mike

Why are their so many "BABIES" in this group? Seems not many can take criticism. You are on the usenet, Get use to it. I Like the work "THE" iwcccars does, as well as the THOUSANDS of other people painting their pretend race cars. Judging by the responses this post has got, and all the other whining in the past lead me to think you ALL should realize that... IT IS JUST A GAME! PRETEND RACING, Make believe. It ain't real kids. So please calm down. -This card is better than that card...... -Win95 is better than Mac... Waaaaaaaaa.... on and on...... GET A LIFE!!!! This Guy is Venting. So be it. It is called freedom of speech. Don't like it, You know what to do. BTW- I know 15 year olds who can beat most records in N2 with no setup or Paintjob. And they just played the game for 1/2 an hour. Same kids that can finish Quake in a few days without cheating. I do not want to insult anyone here. but you got to put things in prespective. Why do I use a fake name and e-mail? Do not like getting Bombed by babies. You know who you are.

People like you make me laugh. Your type continue to scream "freedom of speech" then lambaste those for speaking their minds. Sure the guy has the right to say he doesn't like something. Just a I have the right to say what I think. He posted his thoughts in a world-wide forum. Don't you think he expected a few replies. Pull your head out of the sand.

> Why do I use a fake name and e-mail? > Do not like getting Bombed by babies. You know who you are. I agree with you at 120% The only problem is that the babies stay here in r.a.s instead of rec.baby.cry.cry.cry IWCCCARS are here to make people HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY! It's not everybody who can spend most of their time after work painting cars. I think this team does a fabulous work. All the others who do N2 cars are great guys. All the people who devote their time doing web pages and utilities should be on the SIMRACING ALL-OFF-FAME. My mother always said to look in the box before saying what's in it. So people that don't do painting can't critisize on what IWCCCARS does. I wanted to do a web site on N1cars but who it was to tough for me. HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY! IWCCARS will always be a great site, even if they post less cars. Just think of the time they past painting. You will realize that the charity they offer to us is great. Good race at the Brickyard, P.S.: I can be mature sometimes :-) [===] Go R. Barrichello, Jacques Villeneuve, | ! | And all you that thinks that Jacques Villeneuve is |!| from Canada, your right!!
