Ok, what room do you guys use when you log on?
Should we decide which room to use? It would be good to sign on and
see if some of my RASCAR mates are signed on. Maybe we could join
races together.
Any ideas?

Choosing a Sierra lobby room for RASCAR drivers
ZZ Busch asked which Sierra lobby room RASCAR drivers should meet in. Instant messengers were suggested and rejected by John Simmons on security grounds, and the group settled on East League Discussion Room 2. A newcomer was pointed to the RASCAR roster page to join.

What we need is a proprietary app that allows us to chat/swap car
files and then join the server when it's available.

I get lost everytime I log in to the Sierra servers.
So yes, I would like to know where to go to first.

We can transfer files, lock our buddy lists to only those who are part of
RASCAR, and see who is online and who isn't.
Those with modem connections will be at a bit of a disadvantage, but
unfortunately they would be at a disadvantage with any solution :(
AOL IM file transfers are damned fast. REALLY fast. I actually keep AIM
running on each machine at my desk at work with a different screen name I
use, and transfer files between them using AIM instead of the Novell
network. It's a LOT faster.
It has group chat where you can send a group chat request to everyone you
see online to see if someone wants to host a race, etc...
Since AIM screen names are cheap (free) and don't affect anything else it
might be worth looking in to.
Once does have to wonder, though, after a 100 Billion (with a B) loss how
long free AIM will be around.

John, is there any openings in your league? If so I would be interested

We can transfer files, lock our buddy lists to only those who are part
of
RASCAR, and see who is online and who isn't.

For a chat client, I've been using Trillian. It lets you use
AIM,Yahoo,MSN, and IRC.
I know of a place to get it, ummm really cheaply. ;-)

Sure, there's plenty of room. Just go to the roster page, read the
rules, and if you think you still want to play in our sandbox, pick
an available car number, and then I need to know:
1) Your first and last name
2) The Sierra ID you will be using (preferably some combined form of
your real name)
3) The car number you want.
As far as providing a car file, the paintscheme should at least have
the numbers put in the places a real-life stock car has them. Beyond
that, I would much prefer that it look like a stockcar, but that's
completely up to you. No foul/provocative language, and no naked
people pictures, though. If you need a painscheme, I can provide
one, so don't hesitate to ask.

Nope, sorry, it's almost to the point that I won't install software
that I did not write myself.

It's not that. Instant messengers are huge security holes because of the
extended functionalities (I was hacked via ICQ). They're also a huge PITA
because every Harry, Dick and Tom can come bug you when you're online.

I might check that out.

You know, PMR sets are only $75 a set nowadays.

How about East League Discussion Room 2?
I doubt there will be too many people in there. Haven't seen more than one
yet.

That's why you lock it down like I do.
If you ain't on my Buddy List, you can't initiate a chat or transfer.

No problems w/ICQ here. Invisible mode & Authorization lists make life

Well, I kicked it off my PC nearly 4 years ago and I can't say I miss it
