UK Pits - Thanks and So Long :(

Jed and Jan thank you for all your hard work and time you spent on making and keeping The Pits one of the most useful and best looking Auto Sim Sites on the Web. Many of the utilities and carsets added greatly to the playability and prolonged enjoyment I got out of the sims. I'm sorry the immature idiots finally got to you Jed, regardless of the amount of work you put in there will allways be those idiots who will never be happy and who don't know how to appreciate the hard work that goes into making a place like The Pits, and the utilities that people like Gerhard have put out. As far as the people who have ripped off the utilities and content of sites such as The Pits I personally refuse to visit their sites, and I know of at least one recent site announcement here on r.a.s. in particular that won't be seeing my visit. I hope others will do the same. Finally my thanks to Jed, Jan, Michael, Tony, John and all the other hard working people here on r.a.s. that willingly give up their free time to make our enjoyment of these sims that much better, I hope you can somehow filter out the idiots, and not let their ignorant comments and e-mail get you to the point to where you don't enjoy what you do. The majority of us here are very greatfull for all your hard work, though sometimes we are too quiet compared to the loud idiots.

Man, some days I feel like throwing in the towel and taking a loooooooooong vacation with the money I usually spend on the site.. <G> Well, for my part what I do is rarely fun, but it's nice to know that it's at least appreciated.

One of these days we'll all need to get together and compare kill-files. I'm sure it would be an interesting comparison! How about a "kill-file" chart on a web page, graphing which people have been deep-sixed by most people? A minor form of fame perhaps? Time is my only enemy, I tend to filter pretty well myself (water off a duck's back and all that). Thanks for the comments though, especially when you provide something for nothing it is VERY reassuring to know that what you're doing is good and appreciated. Being paid it is so much easier to know, the money will simply stop! Cheers!

Man, some days >I feel like throwing in the towel and taking a loooooooooong vacation >with the money I usually spend on the site.. <G> Well I always suspected you were trying to takeover the world ;-) <that's a smiley for the humour impaired> And I thought your article in SRN was pretty deadon about what has happened here lately. People have to learn some tact... there's a difference between constructive criticism and worthless flaming. Regardless how mad we may be at a company we have to realize that their representatives here are just normal people with feelings, and often don't make the company policies. Don't throw in the towel yet Tony, that might make the Nascar-only extremists come back out of hiding and ruin all the progress we've had on the RFD, r.a.s. needs ya.

Should I say that I was also tapped by NASCAR to get "The Call" to win this week at Bristol? <G> -- IWCCCARS Project Coordinator [link lost in import] Hawaii: IWCCCARS
