I just tried to make a link to AveryGPfan's "awesome cars" post on a post in F1 alpha. I wa srecommending downloading this fantastic cars.wad. The damed forum engine seemed to change my www.grandprix3 and www. grandprixgames.org links to read F1alpha etc, and then announced that "page not found". I joked about sabotage at first, but after 3 attempts, I don't think it is a joke. Is there some kind of feud goin on? What's it about? Does it have something to do with which end you open a boiled egg?

The man who runs it (Matti), has a bit of an attitude. Everytime another site is entered, it chanegs it to AlphaF1. He deletes lots of otrher posts and stuff like that. As far as i know, Bruno has no problem with Matti, but Matti has a bit of an attitude. Probably a bit psised off that gpgames.org got the best site

It has been this way for a looong time. We even discussed this way back in Ye Olde Phorum days.

Yesm but it is getting worse now. If it is true EMAC is doing it then it is getting truely out of hand. The point in these mods is to make the game as best as it can. It is not a compeition. I had a look on EMACs forum and didnt find it, but i hope its not true as EMAC is a truly nice guy

That's the reason why I sometimes make fun of these alpha habits. Every once in a while when someone asks in this forum where to find stuff I pretend it's like Alpha here and post:

Try to look at

[www.gramdprix3.com]
[www.gramdprix3.com]
[www.gramdprix3.com]
[www.gramdprix3.com]
[www.gramdprix3.com]
[www.gramdprix3.com]
or
[www.gramdprix3.com]


I then immediately do the next post, pretending to be surprised that everytime I typed [www.grandprix3.com], it autiomatically turned into [www.grandprix3.com]
:D

I don't think it is just because "our" site is better then Alpha why Matti is pissed, it is certainly also because Bruno is the better track designer. Normally I like Finnland and its people very much - this Matti guy however is strange.

This does not speak for you ;-)

Besides I think he is weird, not wierd.

The wierd is a chunky animal that weighs 1.8 to 2.3 kg. Its total body length, 40 to 60 cm, includes a bushy tail that is about 10 cm in length. It is about 15 to 18 cm tall at the shoulders. The wierd has short, powerful front legs with feet that contain very sharp claws. This combination of powerful legs and sharp claws allows the wierd to dig tunnels with ease. Its eyes, ears, and nose are located near the top of its head. This allows the wierd to see, hear, and smell without exposing its whole body to enemies. The wierd comes in a wide variety of colours but the most common is chestnut brown.

Home Range: The home range of the wierd is very small. It stays near its burrow and seldom travels more than 90 metres away.

Food: The wierd hibernates each winter and must build up thick layers of fat during the summer and fall seasons. It eats a wide variety of food, including grasses, clover, and grain. Favourite foods are apples and garden plants such as lettuce and cabbage. These eating habits make him very unpopular with farmers and gardeners.

Enemies: The wierd is slow moving, so it can be hunted by fast-moving animals such as wolves, coyotes, foxes, and dogs. Its main defense is its burrow. It stays close to the burrow and listens, looks, and smells for signs of danger. Any unusual sounds, movements, or smells send it scurrying for home and the safety of the burrow. Man is also an enemy and shoots the wierd to keep it from damaging crops and gardens.

Habits: The wierd has two types of dens or burrows. The summer burrow is built close to a good source of food like a pasture or meadow. The second home is the winter home. It is built to survive the long, cold winter.

Wierds are most active during daylight hours and are quite easy to spot when travelling down the road in early spring and in the summer. They can often be seen sitting up on their hind legs looking and listening for danger. They use a whistling sound to warn one another of danger, so in some places the wierd is called the whistling pig.

Family: Mating usually takes place in March, and the young are born 28 days later. The wierd has one litter each year, which usually contains four babies. The young are born blind and have no hair. They weigh only 28 grams. The babies grow quickly while feeding on their mother's milk and are weaned after about five weeks. Soon after this, they are out learning to forage (search) for food. By the middle of the summer, the young wierds are much bigger and must begin to leave home and set up their own burrows.

This Matti guy. He's the guy who owns Alpha F1 right? Is he also the same guy who makes graphic addons for GP3 and 4? Because if he is then he really does need to grow up. All over Alpha F1 its "New track graphics by Matti. Excellent! Recommended download"

Matti always was like that... so we only can accept that he don't want links in his site to others... i'm moderator at alpha and it was always like that.. we are used to it...

i don't defend this way of acting but he does what he wants in his site, right?

Yes sure he does. However I posted a message to him on his own site asking him to do something:

Yes, it is the same guy. But its stuff was never anything special. for the best track graphics and add-ons use Brunos tracks, and Larry O'Meras Canada track. These are miles better than the rest, and so accurate is unbelivable

Yes. Well I opened a new one to him telling politely how disappointed I am in his behaviour. Go there everyone quicky and post before he has a chance to shut the thread down.
