I am getting a bit tired to hear this every year to be honest.
Why not put some time in it yourself as community and make one thread with links to all the setups and cars and tracks. Every post can be linked to and you can summarize literally everything in one post.
Yes it requires some time and effort but its pretty much doable if somebody puts the time in it. However its much easier to lay back and wait until a moderator or administrator does it
Regulars remember we had a filter last year (thread prefixes) and according to our statistics nobody used it (thats right, even less than people racing cockpit view in GRID
)
I just wrote a long post and lost it with the click of a button so forgive me being brief.
My comment was not an insult but a response to an idea. I love RD and your statistics will probably tell you that in many ways!
However, just because it is a TRULY WONDERFUL WEBSITE..I'm sure you are always looking for ways to improve/develop it? It's only my opinion (perhaps?) that whilst the setup thread is welcomed, it could be better organised/maintained. Perhaps it needs a member to oversee it rather than more work for the admins.
Last year the thread was useful to me although people not posting "game mode" was sometimes an issue which made the time meaningless.
I was referring to a filter in which you click a tab and look for "sort by lap times" then sub search "sort by game mode" etc. this may not be possible but it would suit me.
Essentially a database of setups only rather than enquiring posts? (users name detailed). Again, this may just only be me but I was responding to the original question.
If people aren't interested in further organisation then I'm not understanding the rational. Why would people choose to spend longer looking for something useful (i.e. a setup) when many of us have working lives to lead?
In a sense, i think the issues are:
Q. Has the OP got a good idea? For me (only my opinion) "Yes".
Q. Is the OP willing to spend time creating something? Seemingly
Q. Would it effect/offend RD + owner if setups were posted elsewhere? Probably.
Possible solution:If and only if enough people are interested then the OP might want to discuss moderating/ taking responsibility for the re-organisation of a setup thread on here. If not then this has been one big waste of time
Then again, this is not for me to negotiate or decide as I personally have higher priorities to spend my time on.
So just to clarify Bram, it's your site so you make the rules and I respect those and enjoy the site. Don't take offence please just because think one tiny aspect could be better.
THanks for your hard work.
