Default quesion abouta competition

so i and a few others had an idea. what if we could make a competition of the *cheap and easy* track? basically the cheapest and easiest way to make a track for your xmods. cardboard, waterhose, things like that? whoever made the nicest track the cheapest would win prizes. mods n admins??? any feedback???

Currently it's hard enough to get members to compete in sanctioned Xmodsource.com Car of the Month competitions. To get people to participate in a track competition would probably be close to impossible.

You could do best track for one month instead of a car. With Christmas things might pic up around here. That is with the gen 3s out and all, we should get some new members.

Not many members I know of have a track. If I do know them, they use the RCP tracks. Which are $200+.

Besides, SPR would win Cost him $0!

well that's the whole point. to get people to make tracks,. you guys r numbnutts. the cheapest n easiest. a track made frrom everyday items. something that looks good and whatnot. as far as how hard it would be.. well.. that all depends on if the people want to do it or not. 200 dollar tracks obviously won't count in this comp.

Please refrain from calling anyone a derogatory term. Especially when you're trying to get your opinion accross in a subject matter that not everyone tends to want to listen to.

oh donzii.. you're so silly.. it's a joking name not derogatory.. but either way.. i see where you're coming from.. don't be mean.. i got it

as far as the competition. i don't think you're the one to judge whether or not people want to do it. let's leave that up to the crowd shall we?

donzii may not judge whether people want to do it, but will judge if it is in fact done or not.

yeah.... just like your went off on me in a Private message, and hten the next one was oh that was just a joke! kid your a joke...


Besides i already won this competition Free Track! bwahaha.

actually bugeye mighta won with his nice hard wood floors lol.

point is MOST people dont have room to be making tracks. you have me who just used his front yard, thats okay. but most people are not going to do that. bugeye cant keep his track up all the time, that was only for a short period. how many actually have a house so big they can put one room out of order while they set up a track not many. Kind of a pointless competition. besides they are all going to be about the same, just with different twist and turns. you gave out all the ideas to make a track cheaply. so everyone is going to use those same ideas....

Won't happen.

We'll discuss this as a possible side competition.

great.. just great.. i got this spr guy insulting me.. yet again.. and donzii putting down everything i say.. thanks guys.. i think it was a mistake to join this forum.. i've been given nothing but negativity since i got here.. i'm trying to participate, i'm trying to offer ideas, tuts, even f**king prizes, but all i get is nothing but insults, put downs, and negative vibes. you know what? i didn't sign up for this. 4 years ago, this forum was awesome. when i was a member back then, when big dude was just a member with me, we never had any of this crap. sometimes i wonder why i even bother. i'm sure you guys hate the fact that i fought in iraq for you too right? i'm sure i'm the a**hole for going. just like all you democratics say. well whatever. i served my country, and i'm happy with it. as far as you people go, thanks for shunning me. good day to you all.. i'll bid you a farewell. big dude, if you see this.. i'm sorry.. btw.. it's johnny..

In what way did I put you down, Johnny? All I was doing was my job as a moderator. It is my job to keep the forums running smoothly and kindly; all it took was one person to mistake your numbnutts joke and take it to a whole other dimension. Did I give you infraction points? No. Did I ban you? No. I gave you a kind warning; I even said please. If you honestly believe I was putting you down in any way, then you have another thing coming. I'm freightened to see a Marine acting in such a childish way by saying we're dogging on you and believe we hate the fact that you served for us. In no way did anyone say that and in no way should anyone ever say that to anyone who has put their blood, sweat and tears into this country.

If you honestly feel this forum isn't the place for you, you can leave. I'm sure no one will miss a member who's only been here for a meer six days.

Au revoir.

personally, i would like this comp. see what the few people made tracks out of and how much it cost, i think it'd be interesting. i say give it a try but im not a mod so i can't make it happen. and as for themostknownunknownmarine (wow that's long ) i don't see how anyone meant any harm, brush it off and stay a while. i personally am glad you and thousands of others served for our country and am glad you made it out alive.
