also, it probably does not help that the 1st thing you see when you open your website is a disclaimer. LOL. i dunno about everyone else but to me i read that and just thought "WRECKERS". Maybe some nice screenies or a team logo or something might be better to replace that. And also, when announcing the "death" of an old team and the "birth" of another it would probably pay to Mention the new teams name, even if it is in the web address, stupid fucks like me dont understand that shit, and remember, 76% of people are stupid.
I do on one hand feel sorry for drift teams though, they carry a certain "stigma" that is like the plague to them, then they just die. I think really though it comes down to the fact that 99.9999% of Drift teams you see are unproffesional as Pimps with Hep C, They tend to take on like 10 dudes straight out, from all over the world & then cant control them one bit. The person trying to start the team is usually like 14, not saying theres anything wrong with young stingers starting teams, but more often than not they dont have the commitment to the project and it folds.
Whilst I sound rather negative about the whole thing, believe me when i say i'd love for you to prove me wrong...... so do it..
Christ, Some one take the " button away from me.. i'm on a rampage....
lol nice post
1st off the disclamer is to stop some ppl trying to steal stuff from our site not because we are wreckers.
2nd we dont just drift but occasionaly we like a few laps of drift.
3rd we are new and we have a rule no one under 18 at all due to the fact DRFT had 90% 14yr olds that thought they were the best in the game.
but ive been reviewing the site ove the past few days and been thinking whats missing.
thanks for your reply umm drift teams do get it tough i think the best way to get a good drift team is trial before you let anyone on the team that way you wont get any noobs thinking there it and a bit we have a few trial nights comming up this month.
as for the site im thinking of taking the disclamer down iit was just a bit of a bad idea. i also have a link to this site on the pages i hope that is ok because this is one of the biggest aussie forums for lfs i thought put it on there for everyone to see.
atm we are doing some upgrades to the team so there should be some new stuff in the next few weeks.
with a team its hard to keep everything running smooth i think msn gets more use between members than the forum plus its hard to get all the members in one server at any given time.
i tell you what tho hard work always pays off in the end M1tCh and me have put a lot of tiem and effort into this team altho we had a lot of offers to join other teams we decided to stay where we could decied what events were going on. so i say to all the ppl wanting to start a new team either you put long hours into it or it will ber undone in no time at all just look at DRFT they went down hill because of the unorganised behaviour of 14yr olds lol not theat the team owner was 14 just most of the ppl in the team were. so long hours and lots of work and you could have a team that works too. 1 last suggestion for you newbs to teams dont take on too many new members we took 6 @ DDGTR and 5 of them were ex DRFT members we now have 7 and looking for 2 more but you have to be under 18 and like to do all styles of racing Drag Drift Grip Team Racing is our new team hope to see you all on track soon.
if you happen to see one of our members behaving in a wrecker way please send me a mpr of it and ill have them sorted out because we are anti wreckers we dont stand for it on the team. if you see a server of ours up jump in and have a run with us you might end up liking what we do in there.
ok thats about all i think i need to say today everyone have a good weekend thanks racemania
