USPits gone forever...
Quoted from their website forum:
"After 9 years, 1 month, and 11 days, we had finally had enough. Sometimes you just have to say "that's it!" We did. We decided we were going to put up with it no more. The file areas, the archives, the tools, the forums...gone. And 90% of it will not return. Ever. Period. Why? We finally grew too tired of the bitching, whining, complaining, bashing, and so on. We work for free here. We do this because we like to. We want to enjoy editing and racing, and when ingrates and crybabies start their incessant griping, it gets very aggravating. We get to where we don't enjoy this and it becomes a tedious job. For those of you who have been great members of the sim racing community...we apologise that we've decided to take this action. However, all is not lost. Many of the editors and league admins will not lose our support. We are not just going to take our toys and go home. Over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing some stuff back online, and the tutorials will remain up. We will put our N2003 mods back online for racing leagues, the Ferrari 330 mod will also be reposted. But our focus on N2003 is gone, and will not return. We have a few things that are still being worked on that will probably be posted, but that will be about it. When we fully reopen down the line, it will be a very streamlined editing-only US Pits that you see, and with tools and toys for a much different mod... Cheers! _________________ =BB=BB jan kohl =AB=AB " |

If there was some way to send some funding their way, I'd do it, but it's too late I suppose. Too bad there are some people who when they don't get things exactly their way, whine and bitch and write inflammatory posts, and they now have ended up ruining it all for the rest of us. With RSC in limbo the race sim community looks to be flying apart at the seams, fracturing into a multitude of small web sites and BBSes, which will just make it harder for people to find info or just hang out. I can only hope someone comes forward to fill this huge void. John DiFool |

That was the last decent place to get sim news, mods, tracks, and other
important stuff for NR2K3. Hey Jan, if you're reading this, I noticed I had a new PM, but I can't read it because you disbaled PMs. Send me an email if you're up for it. |

@bignews3.bellsouth.net: > The real baby is Jan what a pussy who is scared to face the realities of > life Buster, since you are standing behind your real name, I respect your proclomation. You sir, the well known buster, have contributed time money expertise in great gobs. and surely you have given more to the sim community than Jan and his family and friends. Surely you MUST HAVE... I'd like to thank you buster. Yes I'd like to thank you for making the first PLONK of 2005 such a simple decision. Goodbye. Dave Henrie (note the caps) |

Excuse me for being dense, but if you own the website, the mods and the forum, why do you put up with whining and bitching in the first place? -If I had a site like that, things would be run as I saw fit and that would be that. And, should one come to a point where one's exhausted reasonable argument and the other party simply doesn't want to give it a rest, one simply bans him/her from the forum. Just about the only advantage of forums over usenet I can think of. I hardly ever used "The Pits" (basically just to get the PWF stuff after they folded), so I'm not being put out by this situation, but I'm dissapointed Jan & Co didn't crush these bad apples instead of folding. Jan. =--- |
