FamineNo - that's just my avatar. I'm really a big ol' pussycat.
How can I seem angry from a completely flat post?
PBParnelli BoneYou're jumping all over a junior member...probably a kid, who isn't even claiming anything for himself. He's claiming his DAD is a master. Now if his dad were here, maybe you could challenge him, but it just seems odd to completely grill whereismk over and over about stuff his father has done.

Far more was going on here and Famine's request was, in my opinion, very valid given a number of other claims and statements this particular (no ex) member had been making.
Hence the reason why he is now an ex-member.

Parnelli BoneWhy was he banned?
Bear in mind this isn't the first discussion this guy has been in, or the first thread he's created. He's also created such wonders as "hacking" where his first post is " can someone tell me how to hack because i have no clue how people eaisly exploit websites and freiken screw it up" and " just one more thing" where the first post was a very informative " ---". no really, that's all it was " ---". This guy wasn't going anywhere, most of his posts containg words were incomprehensible or stupid and in less than 1 month he created 17 threads, 8 of which are now locked. And then theres this thread https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=84055 .Parnelli BoneYou're jumping all over a junior member...probably a kid, who isn't even claiming anything for himself.

SakialeI used to think I was the master of GT, but then I saw other peoples' specs--

Parnelli BoneThat's a mistake i've thankfully never made. To me, there's the novice: those who can barely control a videogame car. They drive off the road. They lose again and again.
Then there's the intermediate. This person has more luck with winning and can eventually get consistent bronze medals in the license tests, but the mistake they usually make is they give themself too much of an advantage in sim races. This is the type who gets in a 900 horsepower Skyline, wins a race against 6 to 700 hp cars, and comes to GT Planet boasting about the money he made and how he was 7 laps ahead of the pack.
There's the pro. This person can get consistent silvers and with a bit of work can make an occasional gold. He or she wins sim races with ease, without relying on power. He or she challenges themself with less and less power in races. If i may be so bold, i'd like to think i'm a pro at sim races...but just an intermediate at time trials and online challenges against other humans.
Finally, there's the expert. Can gain a gold medal in just about any license test at will. Can enter a Europa in the GT All STars and win against the GT40, Can proudly post times at GT Planet, GTX, Racing-Line, etc and is therefore one of the best in the world.
I would be the intermediate/pro then. I make bronzes quite easily, make silvers and golds sometimes without any effort at all, and can gold them all after a few weeks' work. I can beat a AE86 Suichi Shigeno in GT3 with a stock AE86 with a few races practice. I occasionally use giant advantages, but usually I am even or lesser than the competition. I enjoy challenging myself by trying to win the GT2 '80s car cup with a Mini Cooper.Parnelli BoneThat's a mistake i've thankfully never made.

FamineAnd then there's "the aliens" - a group of people who are just out of sight and accelerating away. I mean, I can gold any licence test (0-80 in 2 days), but I'm not even in these folks' league.
Check the 9 Boards Challenge results to see what I mean.

SakialeI used to think I was the master of GT, but then I saw other peoples' specs-- 100% completion. All license golds. Times more than 5 seconds faster than mine.
'Holy s***, is that even possible?'
Of course, i still rule local
Unless anyone in LA wants to race me.

Uncle HarryThere is no way I could get up near the fastest guys, but what your child sees as a GT master at home makes there Dad the best in the world in their eyes.
rsmithdriftTake this advise. No matter how good you are at something, no matter what rank you achieve, there is always someone out there who either is or will be better than you. Records will always be broken. There is always room for improvement. Don't ever think your the best, because you're just setting yourself up for dissapointment and frustration. Also, if you always think your at the top then there'd never be anywere left to go.....

rsmithdriftI will always consider myself the GT3 Drift King.
Just look at my vids and try to ask why. I'm a damn good grip racer too. Learned to drive grip before learning drift......I actually learned drift as a crash recovery technique that nobody could beleive what they were seeing. Back when the PS1 was new in 96-98 this was. Then I realised it was fun and just started sliding every turn and learning the speed drift. Wasn't untill '01 that I learned what drifting really was, then I started with the linking and higher angles and such. But I still would rather drift at low angle and on racing line than have high angle and lose speed or line because of it.
Drifting in a real car was just natural for me.....took no transition to get used to at all. Of course I get scared to do anything crazy or very dangerous when drifting. But as I get more confident I push the envelope more and now I can do some things on the street with a near stock open diff car that most people in built drift cars would have a hard time with. Nobody believes me untill I do a peg legger for them that I have an open diff.
But there are still those that blow me out of the water.

TMMI agree with the idea behind what you are saying, but consider this. There must be someone at the top, someone who is the best. If there wasn't then the youngsters wouldn't have somebody to lookup to, somebody to aim at and eventually beat. And the Human race would probably still be swinging in the tree's, eating banana's and covered in hair...
rsmithdriftTake Shumacker for example, most would say he's the best driver in the world. Well guess what, now he's not no 1 anymore.
rsmithdriftOf course some are better than others, what I'm saying is there is no "Best of the Best, No. 1" Because as soon as he gets there there will always be that person who can do better and knocks him off his pedestal. And as soon as that person gets there somebody will knock him off. Take Shumacker for example, most would say he's the best driver in the world. Well guess what, now he's not no 1 anymore. Same thing with Jeremy McGrath. The supercross king eventually got beaten by carmicheal.....who will enevetably be beaten.
And also there is always that chance that there is some undiscovered talent who is better than all of them. And who's to say that there's not someone better than him??
This is why we are not swinging from tree's because people always want to be better than someone else, because they want to do there PERSONAL best. They wan't something that by nature is unnatainable because you can always do better, but it gives them a goal to strive for. And because everybody has this......they keep one upping each other. Take a look at BMX or FMX. Nobody could have believed the tricks they pull now-a-days when they thought a nac nac was crazy. Same with flight once thought not possible, now we've gone to the moon......
I'm just saying. Always try your best at something, just don't expect to be the best at it.
Parnelli BoneSchumacher isn't the best at car racing. He's simply the best at car racing in a generic world in which all the cars are the same right down to the tire stem cores. Let's see how he does when (hopefully) Formula 1 starts to shake up their boring regualtions.
TMMBut isn't that what I was saying. That there is someone who is the best, but as soon as they get to that position then they become a target for others who strive to become the best.
It isn't so bad as it was when he was winning everything and had four championship's in a row. Renault and Alonso don't seem quite so dominate and if you throw some rain in then it gets even better.
Parnelli BoneI just remember back in the early 80's when i would read my Road & Track every month. I was more into F1 back then. The cars VARIED, they took risks and chances. There were turbo 4's and Cosworth V8's on the same track along with Ferrari's V12. Now, not only can you not wander too far from the regulations, it costs loads of money for a team to comply with them. New things are developed but you don't have teams that really compete anymore....they just have to comply.
Back then, i also remember for awhile that NASCAR stopped doing just oval races and included circuits as well as the ovals. I mean, back then i thought NASCAR was kinda lame, but it caught my interest when they started taking RIGHT turns along as well as left.
TMMThe rules weren't so strict back then and there was room for individuality in b oth the teams and drivers that perhapes has been stamped down on now.
