me too, over and over and over... images/smilies/lol.gif

especially since i get every top gear ep so far

Renesis · March 25th, 2004, 11:18 PM

I don't.. I actually have very few ep's. But i have a lot of clips. I don't care about the talk and show guests.. gimme cars! images/smilies/tongue.gif

Suggestion: I'm sure you've seen it on countless other boards where users have a rank. I think it would be neat to have one here too (ranks like Track Sweeper, Tire Burner, Car Addict, etc). The one main problem with this is some people will "post whore" just to get a higher rank. But I think "ranks" should be determined by seniority (as in how long the user has been registered) AND activity (# of daily posts or something). That, and some mods who won't allow useless posts would eliminate that problem. Just an idea images/smilies/biggrin.gif

justin syder · March 31st, 2004, 05:00 AM

thanks for the suggestion, but,

ranks would encourage post whoring and useless posts have been kept in check by viper and his family of mods.

maybe if others would like a rank type thing i would go for it but dont think we need it now. maybe when we are bigger,more members.

Viper007Bond · March 31st, 2004, 05:50 AM

Agreed, I don't want this to be a competition.

kenezzite · March 31st, 2004, 06:37 AM

hey guys I like the this site the way it is right now very much, and i don't think we should change anything, all we need is team work and everything would be okey images/smilies/smile.gif

SiR_dude · March 31st, 2004, 01:08 PM

Okay, I got shot down images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Renesis · March 31st, 2004, 10:34 PM

No, I'm not after that...just thought it might be a cool feature. No biggie, though images/smilies/smile.gif

dukenukem · April 20th, 2004, 04:33 AM

Viper ...is there any way u can arrange a upload area.....it will be a whole lot easier to share personal videos with others. images/smilies/icon_question.gif

Viper007Bond · April 20th, 2004, 04:40 AM

Nah, if heavy leeching were to occur, it'd use a ton of bandwidth. images/smilies/wink.gif

dukenukem · April 20th, 2004, 06:15 AM

but u could restrict the download access and sharing will be controlled by the mods.....not a free for all.

Viper007Bond · April 20th, 2004, 06:23 AM

Even then, I don't have the space or the bandwidth for a public upload.

jsemmler · May 27th, 2004, 07:00 PM

how about creating or integrating some tracker stats into the download page similar to this:

http://www.nx01.us/torrent/

this would allow us (anyone with the episode already) to know which episodes need seeders.

Viper007Bond · May 28th, 2004, 02:59 AM

None of the trackers report those stats so I wouldn't be able to open the tracker's page and grab the data from it. Only way to do that is with a script that connected to the tracker and asked for the numbers and I dunno of one. If you do, lemme know though...

ESPNSTI · May 28th, 2004, 03:45 AM

Suggestion: Some more standard smilies.

Once I get around to it, I'm gonna replace phpBB's shitty ones with the ones from Invision.

SiR_dude · May 28th, 2004, 03:59 AM

Good, I agree. I have some I'd like to see too, including the nod smiley and the shakeing head no smiley.
