AUTOSIMSPORT is looking for you...

[Bruce Saltzman]

We at AUTOSIMSPORT have felt for some time that the LFS community has not been adequately represented in our magazine. To that end, we are conducting a search for a person or persons who would be interested in authoring a regular monthly column about LFS and what's happening in this vital community of sim racing enthusiasts.

If this sounds like something in which you'd be interested, please send me an email and we can discuss it further.

i second that. ASS is a very nice initiative indeed. keep up the good work :)

[StanleyCarter]

wow, this is great news indeed.

I rarely read the ASS magazine though, but I'm sure I'd watch it from now onwards. :D

[bobvanvliet]

Uhm... anyone up for thinking up another abbreviation? :smileypul

[ajp71]

I read ASS every month as well, good to hear it'll be covering more LFS :thumbs:

Uhm... anyone up for thinking up another abbreviation? :smileypul

LOL

It's a sim racing tradition (BREASTS and ARSE)

Its funny, as i've always thought the same thing. So its great that you are looking to rectifiy it.

[ORION]

Mm Vykos cant do ALL the work :P

Tristan is a good choice, additionally this will also keep the forum sql smaller :P

[tristancliffe]

Good choice or not (I'm leaning on the latter), what the hell would I write about :p

[ORION]

lol if you dont know what to write, WHO should know then? :D

[the_angry_angel]

Good choice or not (I'm leaning on the latter), what the hell would I write about :pSausages?

[B2B@300]

Good choice or not (I'm leaning on the latter), what the hell would I write about :p

:scratchch Well you have a very broad experience in the feel of the community :D , and I've noticed your quick to say you will pawn people on the track :razz: so I would think you would have a well rounded overall view of LFS and have alot you could write about :smileypul

+1 for tristancliffe :D for the same reasons Orion sited :razz: :scratchch :tilt:

[LRB_Aly]

Yes this reads like interesting news.

[Vykos69]

I nominate Vykos!

Or Tristan!
:shy:

[Bruce Saltzman]

I have to say that the response has been overwhelming for just the first day. However I have to admit I'm not surprised as the LFS community is one of passionate sim-racing enthusiasts. i'm also thinking that based on our desire for a monthly column dedicated to LFS, it might be a good idea to consider more then one individual. That way, no one person has to feel they're under pressure each month. Also, different points of view are always a good thing.

As far as what to write about, just keep it topical. The column is really not about racing leagues and race results. That information is generally found in the FILSCA section of the magazine. All FILSCA member leagues have those results posted on a monthly basis along with appropriate news items in the FILSCA News section. It's one of the perks provided for being a FILSCA member.

Take a look at some of the past issues to get an idea of what I mean when I say 'topical.' That should help you decided if this position is right for you.

Thanks again guys for the great responses. Let's get the LFS community a proper voice in AUTOSIMSPORT. :)

[KiDCoDEa]

vykos or kemperman for league/racing stuff
lfsnews for news
don for movie/pics.
devs for interviews and info.

[Theafro]

well what about simply having an LFS page rather than a single column, left open to several smaller articles from different writers, i'm sure that after one or two issues it would become clear the best way to go. and besides i don't think I could write a whole column myself but i might manage a few hundred words, and i got a feeling that many people would feel the same.

It might be nice to have a few angles rather than one but it also might be a pain for the editorial team :)

I could knock up a report on the ATC 60 lapper held on the 26th but thats the only thing (other than general spot racing) i'm involved in, would that be of interest since it's not a FILSCA event.

[StanleyCarter]

I think KiDCoDEa would do pretty well IMO.

There's a few more in my mind:
Gunn (if he's not too busy)
Tristan
Vykos
Bob Smith

[Vendetta]

i would say :
vykos (but he already has alot of work on his hands afaik :D)
gunn
tristan
uhm........
def. don for pics/movies, hes a genius
kidcodea...


the list could go on and on, but id say my top 3 choices would be :
gunn
vykos
tristan

if any of them are willing, then autosimsport would have good people writing their columns :)

[JJ72]

Um I think there're indeed quite a lot we can write about the LFS community, actually I think the whole mentality of people waiting for patches and argueing over stuffs such as customer rights is something very unique that could make some interesting and intelligent columns.

You know just as formula 1 isn't all about the action on track, the off track side of LFS is a cult of its own.

[Hyperactive]

Just don't write any kitchen reports :x

[deggis]

devs for interviews and info.
Not gonna happen. :D

[faster111]

How about me anyone voteing for me.

[garph]

How about me anyone voteing for me.

I can't even understand what you type so no I don't want you representing LFS!

[faster111]

Give me 3 ressons why.


All my mates unstand me.

[garph]

What are you serious! Spelling, grammar and getting words in the correct order to make things understandable.

[th84]

i understand him just fine!! keep it up faster!

[pb32000]

1) What garph said
2) I can't understand you, not that I want to
3) Noone else can understand you

Also, I agree with Ven

[faster111]

What are you serious! Spelling, grammar and getting words in the correct order to make things understandable.

Ok then if i get better will you vote for me?

[faster111]

i understand him just fine!! keep it up faster!

Ok someone who understands me.

[garph]

No. You got a friend in th84 so he can vote for you instead of me.

[Scirocco]

Ok then if i get better will you vote for me?
Why should anyone believe that you'll improve if you failed to type that question properly?

[faster111]

Never mind.

[Jakg]

Give me 3 ressons why.


All my mates unstand me.but your mates are fluent in utter prat!
Ok then if i get better will you vote for me?no, we need somebody elequent and experienced for this...

[keiran]

Faster111 why do you come out with these stupid things. Nearly every thread you've posted in you've talked rubbish. Do you just do it and laugh while people think you are being serious ?? Do you want attention ?? For starters you aren't even licensed so how could you be taken seriously to be close enough to this community to even type an article. Then comes the big burden is your spelling and grammar. My spelling and grammar isn't the best but at least I think it's readable. What I can't understand with you is why dont you use a spell checker :s

[mrbogeyman]

But I’m hungry!

Back OT: If I weren't in my final year at uni I would be willing to write stuff, like a LFS diary or something. Possibly just have features like 'Best forum Quotes', and also include some of the more popular discussions or expectations.

Instead I have to program microcontrollers! weeeeeeeeeeee!!! pop (head explodes) :schwitz: :insane: :eek:

[StanleyCarter]

Give me 3 ressons why.


All my mates unstand me.

1. You can't spell
2. You're not S2 Licensed
3. You can't spell.
