    Blame the El Nino too, it's pushing cold air very far south in the U.S and contrary to popular belief it can be too cold for it to snow, it can actually cause it to be blocked from certain areas entirely in some cases which is likely what you've been experiencing and remember it's only January, winter only officially started about a month ago so I wouldn't be too concerned with it. Also with the cold air being pushed further south the storms that normally bring you snow will also be pushed south.
  2. This, and if you need an example just look up the Bad Medicine crash in New York. You can't prepare for the unexpected if you refuse to allow anyone to believe it is possible therefore you should always expect the worst to make sure safety is above all else or you're just asking for trouble.

    Evidently you haven't paid attention to places outside of where you live in regards to that it would seem. It's the second year of lake front areas receiving more than 2 feet of snow in under a day recently. I mean parts of Texas this year have gotten over a foot of snow for crying out loud, that does NOT happen often if at all. The last time I recall having multiple storms of way too much snow where I personally live places right into when the last El Nino occurred in the later 1990s which was weaker than the current one. You should also keep in mind that a lot of places have yet to even get their first snowfall that aren't by bodies of water in the U.S. I looked in your profile to see where you live but it does not say but elevation has an absolutely massive impact on the snowfall amounts one can receive. I also want to take a moment to point out how they're not willing to throw numbers around yet and the last time I remember that happening DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia etc got well over 12" of snow. Just don't expect that to happen every time there is a storm expected or you will most likely be disappointed. I'll probably add some things in a following post around Thursday once we're a little closer to this storm.
  4. I know a lot of people that have had issues with the .zip wind up unzipping it into a folder in their vehicles folder and use that instead which also takes care of the problem that arises when you get to having a certain size zip which I think is around 2.0GB where it will stop reading files. Something to possibly consider.

  6. Don't ever get your hopes up when it comes to things like wikipedia and not the mentioned the "sources" listed on the page for the 2016 shows all but Foxborough use a fake website. Listen to Donnelly.
  7. Probably won't gather much interest for new players outside of our current group of players. I finally have a real one from a PvP match now! So what if it's ARAM, it still counts to me.
  8. I'm going to just go ahead and tell you both to shut up as you've really added nothing to this request thread. C'mon now we're not used to civilized discussions on here. The only thing I'm going to mention is that you both did indeed bring up the subject of spam before I mentioned it in any form and if either of you read the entirety of my post you would actually realize I was referring to past events that took place in the request sections which is why they usually don't get very much attention other than negativity when there are multiple instances of the same request, you really only need one thread for that. So to conclude the spam argument in this thread you both took what I said entirely out of the context that it was directed toward. Also anyone that tells you RoR is well optimized has never been in touch with a very well optimized game because RoR is about as far from that as you could possibly get and it's rather well known not just on this site.
  9. The only reason I mentioned the spam bit in this thread is because you yourself and Hot Shoe both brought it up before anyone else did so I added it to the things I was addressing as it was relevant to this thread as well. Also if you actually read the entirety of my post, specifically where I mention spam in general. It is extremely relevant to the entire requests section of this site.
  10. Solution to that has been to rename the main folder in your program files if you don't want it to be removed, only downside is forgetting to reset your preferences in blender or your exporter can stop working. I've never noticed an FPS difference at all in any version and I'm pretty sure with my computer that's something i would have noticed and loved to have had but it's not the case, some people get an FPS improvement and I've heard others get a decrease.
  11. Does anyone remember the porn spam we used to get when the site was new?
  12. Sadly as much as we all wish new members had the ambition to want to learn how to create things including many of us offering to help them or try point them in the right direction it often far rarer for it to actually work out the way you describe. Usually it leads to having your PM inbox spammed with requests for a month if not longer or multiple threads asking for the same thing. I'm all for helping people learn or making tutorials since a lot of them were deleted during a site software upgrade. Things to remember about creating content for RoR version 0.3X.XX+ Blender is not as easy to use as you think it is Blender will crash at the absolute worst times You will come to loathe there being no way of lining most things up other than to go back and forth from file to game to check Your game will crash repeatedly for absolutely no reason at all Contrary to popular belief, most of us do try to help those willing or expressing interest to learn but don't ask us to completely do something for you. One of my personal ways to try and help people learn is to give them a few options to try to figure out which works best for them so they're largely learning on their own instead of having someone do something for them which usually misses the learning process entirely for certain things. Do not expect what you see from Rockcrwlr, Johan, Fern etc for your first creation. We all start somewhere but the hard part is getting new people started. As far as the spam comment that was made earlier, this thread was created AFTER the 0.4.X thread he made which included several posts of his own being 4-6 in a row which does indeed classify as spam just to clarify. Reasons for not upgrading since this topic will never die. Every version of RoR is very unstable, as most of you have found out The entire reason we moved from MTM2 to RoR was for better physics I've been pushing for stand alone trucks since the V3 super pack project and it's only now catching on The lack of servers for all versions was/is still a pretty large issue and not everyone can host a private one, there was a time when only 2 people could even host private servers out of the entire RoR monster truck community in the past Most use a controller of sorts now but a reason for not upgrading in the past was the fact that using the keyboard to drive was extremely slow and very difficult in certain situations (and still is in post 0.37.117 versions) but at the time nearly everyone used the regular keyboard controls to race When leagues first started 0.37.XXX was still considered very new then once 0.38 rolled out there was a new version almost every 1-2 weeks Most of us are in favour of upgrading to newer versions but it's not really worth upgrading to a new version when a large portion of the content on the site is already extremely outdated (one of the reasons I kept pushing for stand alone was to make future upgrading easier, I believe I was the first one to release a completely stand alone truck on the site as well) I'm sure there are plenty of other things as well but most of them have been outdated or improved upon Request threads are fine but there is also no guarantee it will be completed or even started, I've seen entire pages filled with the same request in the past and have had several spammed into my PM inbox on here and while it's not much of a problem anymore it can still be annoying to some when there are. If there is a request thread for something you want already made reply to that thread to get more interest and get it noticed versus making one or several asking for the same thing. The search function is a bit dumb right now but it still has a purpose that most people forget about.
  13. Because there is never anything wrong with brand new versions of software....
  14. This is how I was banned. xD Man remember when nobody wanted you back on the site? What mistakes we made letting that not happen. My favourite moment in all honestly has to be the entirety of Season 2, specifically these parts. Won overall Lost racing title by 10 points Lost freestyle title by 4 points
