    If mod positions are to be limited numbers, I humbly suggest a shortlist of applicants is drawn up and that the rest of us forumsters are allowed to vote in a community poll as to who we'd like to moderate our forums.
    And then the most popular member wins, even though they might not be suitable for the job. No thanks. 
    Yep I agree with that, this should be a popularity contest. I'm sure they know what they're doing :) I hope I get the chance to become one, I need something to feel the void of all the free time I have, now that I work part time. I get very bored and would love something that could be classed as work o:)
    Yep it will probably end up like that a "Popularity contest" where some candidates says they have been here for a long time and some saying i visit the forum everyday. I'm not sure but i think a mod is responsible for the entire forum not just one sub forum?

  2. Just wondering, quick question to our American/ Asian forum members.

    Would you guys mind if for example the new DiRT game rallies (and  rallycross etc etc) events are based on the European events?

    For example WRC Wales rally, WRC  Monte Carlo rally,WRC Sweden rally, or perhpas some Ypres ERC Rally?
    I mean the big hero's from the USA ( Ken Block, Foust, Crazy Leo and many more) come over sea to compete in WRC events or European rallies.

    Just curious , because I think many European rally fans do would like to see the european rallies and rallycross stages.
    I don't mind, though I did enjoy the inclusion of  X Games events for Rally Cross in previous games. Can you spill a little information about gameplay. What are the rally stages like? My biggest complaint about DiRT 3 was that the stages were mostly wide and often too short.
    They signed a non disclosure agreement so they are not allowed to talk about what they saw.

    We had this conversation already. Personally I wouldn't go lower than a 760 for gaming, as min specs have increased because of the consoles. Getting a cheap gpu doesn't save you money, it means you'll upgrade more often. The 960 is coming out soon, and will be better than a 770 or about the same. Just look at reviews for 650ti and 6670 as I havent a clue. Not even sure a 6670 can even be classed as a gaming gpu. That card was mainly for HTPC systems.
    This site pretty much says the 650 is better than the 6670 for my price range :)

    Wtf? The 980 doesn't cost £900 and the 960 would only be £170 or near that. If that's the sort of price they Cost in your country that's insane mate.
    Sorry around the $1000 over here on ebay, yeah mate don't i know it everything in this country is double or triple compared to the rest of the world.

    Ebay

  5. Is this a good price Nvidia Geforce GTX650 2gb ddr5

    ebay
    Converting that to £££, it comes out at £53. The cheapest I've seen here is around £70 so it's not bad at all. 

    Have a look at this card too, you'd get a fair bit more performance out of it for around $6 more.

    Yep have that one saved aswell, whats better the GT or GTX?

    Assetto Corsa seem to have set a certain point for their 1.0 release, then are making a Dream Pack add on with 10 desirable cars and Nordschleife, which seems fair as DLC. I'd shy away from having the base game then every single car/track as DLC (aka the RaceRoom Experience approach) as it's not so fun, and not traditional for Codemasters either, I hope you don't go that way (let alone the matchmaking problems you've had in previous games when people don't have the same content).

    I think Richard Burns Rally and Assetto Corsa are good examples though of games which were released then community supported (like rFactor). If you could release tools for people to add content themselves, whilst focussing on the bits you're good at like AI and graphics, then this whole thing could take off.

    I think most people out there though would like to see an end to the so-called "dudebro" US trendy themed approach of the games though. More realism would be great!
    Dude, what do you mean? Come on bro give us US guys a break, lol. 
    lol they probably think your a bunch of surfers or something lol and you would be surprised on how many people would like a return to the DiRT 2 style racing. :)

  7. Morning guys,

    Don't really know where to start, being totally honest I don't even know what I'm allowed to say about this whole mess...

    I wanna just post up the whole story, you guys deserve to know what's going on but it would come across much more like an angry hate filled rant at the moment. Parts would be taken out of context and it wouldn't do me or the guys effected any favours.

    I appreciate your concern over what is happening with me but I'm safe in my job at the moment, as you can imagine I just really wasn't in the mood for anything last week (eating lots of chocolate seemed to be the answer). This is effecting a lot of my friends, people I work closely and the people some of you have met - seeing them have to go through what I went though last time this happened isn't easy.

    I know you all want to know how this effects this awesome game we've been promising you and truth is I don't know, it will be a while before I do.

    While you guys are free to talk about whatever you like on here, I want to ask as a favour... Can move off the redundancy talk?

    Everyone working on the game is effected, either directly or indirectly and we really need you guys to keep us on the straight and narrow, pick us up when we're down just as you always have.

    So... Now I'm not confirming that this bit is true, there are some parts of the article that are incorrect I just won't say what including how they wrote "DiRT" (caps lock, little "i" guys come on!!! - most annoying thing about that article)

    Let's have a conversation about this bit

    "Sources told Eurogamer Codemasters planned to announce the new Dirt soon with a view to an Early Access-style release" - source

    We've touched on this before a few times before after @gfRally (I think it was Greg - apologies if not) came up with the idea and the topic came up again recently before this all kicked off so lets finish it, what do you honestly think of this? How would you want to see it run from our side if we did do it? What kind of info should be putting out (and where) and how would you want us to talk to you?
    Glad your job is safe for the moment Lee and will stop talking about the recent articles going around if you say that most of it was wrong.

    Getting back to the early release idea i think it's best just to release a demo on what we can expect in the finished product, what do you think @justbiglee 

  8. It's strange that @justbiglee hasn't been around since the news broke, hopefully he isn't one of the team members to be let go :(
    Something to cheer us up

    A blast from the past

    CMR


    I agree, @justbiglee‌ being a community manager, might not be as valuable as the developers, so we might not hear from him or Codemasters in the forums again. Although I hope I'm wrong :-(
    Doesn't look good if this tweet is related to the layoff? :(
