Surely he knew he was double stinting?! Chris was Brad doing 4 stints due to Connor not turning up?

I will say one thing even the 'host' can lag out of a race. And i found the hosting fine and i have the worst internet provider in the UK. No seriously KAROO or Kingston Communications has been voted the worst many times. In fact Hull and it surrounding area is the only place in the UK to have only one ISP. The has been many outrages about it but hey Smile

the lobbies seemed to run fine for me and its unfortunate when someone lags out but at the end of the day its happened to us all and its not always the hosts fault sometimes your own internet has a brain fart Poop

Yes. We were all due to do 3 stints. I even re-arranged one of Conner's (swapped with me) per his request via PM. ANY communication would be nice.

Suggestions are voiced, heard and commented on. One thing we (the staff) tend to notice is a lot of suggestion of things that we had already considered and discounted, which we come back and comment on giving our reasons, then get hit with a storm of ranting because we "don't listen". Just because people have a suggestion, doesn't mean that we have to go with it, and just because we don't go with it, does not mean we have ignored the suggestion. It's impossible to please everyone all the time, so sometimes people will just have to learn to "deal with it".

That's absolutely bang on Aero, and you didn't even mention the fact that it can be really frustrating having to publicly reiterate and debate on suggestions/solutions that have already been fully explored behind closed doors.

Some would say it's a thankless task Neutral

One thing that helps: If you really need the reaffirmation of having your question/suggestion answered, send it as a PM to whomever it is that you want an answer from. Idea

This not only applies to TORA, as it is a habit I have picked up from other websites and message boards.

My comment wasn't directed at anybody in particular i.e staff or members. I've noticed it with both and not all of both so don't get defensive...haha. It may just be internet thug syndrom. I love the internet badasses eventhough sometimes they scare me with their toughism. Very Happy
