Hey, cool, a new forum!

[Duke]

Just made for us verbose posters. Can't wait to use it!

 

[vat_man]

Gee, you guys don't miss much, do you?

 

[boombexus]

Can someone elaborate on the purpose of this forum.

 

[MazKid]

I think it's for track write ups, like reviews/strategies...

no?

 

[Der Alta]

The introduction of this forum, somewhat stems from my stories.

The "Write-ups" that I do, as well as a few others, have generated enough interest to prompt NocturnalPS into convincing Jordan this Forum would come of use. It is for the overly detailed analysis of races.

Now if I can just figure out how to post all 80+ pages of the GT3 Blow by Blow compendium...

I'll guess I'll start with a few at a time...

[boombexus]

So, the compendium is going public Der Alta?

 

[Der Alta]

Most people have seen bits and pieces of the compendium, and I will post more of it, but I don't think there is a way to post it in it's entirety on this forum.

Does anyone know if I can I post an 80 page document? or will that exceed the available length? Maybe one of the mods can search through the GT3 forum and move all of the write-ups here.

So, to answer your question, yes and no.
Yes, in pieces, but not as a whole.

Of course I could just post a link to it and see if the traffic overwhelms it...

Votes?

Pop a PM to Josh or Nocturnal - they'd be only too willing to help you out.

 

[Talentless]

I think I suggested something like this once. No I am not taking credit.

 

[kyle]

I might use this.

 

[sn00pie]

Good idea this.

I know! Yes, you can. There is no limit on the size of your posts, although it would be more organized if you divided up the compendium into several different threads.

 

[LoudMusic]

Or at least different posts so that it will wrap to different viewed pages of a single thread. It makes it load quicker for everyone when it's broken up.

You don't want to end up with these lenghts though: http://forums.gtplanet.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11246

 

[Talentless]

isn't there a 26000 something character limit?

There was, but I got rid of that for HondaKid86's GTC FAQ.

 

[Der Alta]

Sounds like a plan developing. I'll start breaking it down into sections and get it ready to post. Considering my free time, it should only take a few months....

But seriously. Thanks for clearing up the limit, offering the suggestions.

Now to complete the project..

For those of you out there that haven't seen Der Alta's compedium, it is VERY well put together and VERY thourough!

As I have told Der Alta before,

Incredible work!

 

[1mic]
