It's starting to look like nitro is at the end of long haul. Current members not wanting to do much,can't recruit any new members to help keep things alive. I have been through this with 2 other websites and teams and let me tell you this is not looking good for this team.I hope that I am wrong,but I don't think so. The good old days of having 15 to 20 regulars has dwindled down to about 5 to 8(if that many). We made a switch to nascar and it went down hill from there.We lost a big chunk of guys when that happened.Nobody uses this site or message board for anything now(except a select few) A few of us have tried to keep something going as far as a series of some kind,but noone runs them.How are we to keep things going and bring in new peeps if no one is using the servers? It takes a team effort for this to keep going. This team was built on racing dirt,not racing or what ever on your desktop. I have busted my tail over the years here trying to help with website,uploads,message board ect.BTW as for the website...alot of it was just dropped into my lap,I was only to be a helper/backup.When that happened I was ok with it for awhile,but what is the use if no one uses it? Take this as to what it is......A DYING TEAM!
Jerry,my suggestion is just let it all expire except for vent....since that seems to be the only thing being used.
Just my 2 cents

Ok chuck i agree with you 100% as far as racing is concerned it is dead. Its a great place to come and chat with guys & play golf or poker but thats about it. Which brings me to my next point. I think the porblem is the old vent it is too hard to get peeps on it that run the newer vent. This is why myself & a few others have decided to form a new team. We have the sever, we have the domain name, we have the website. A new era is upon us The ONLINE OUTLAWS are born!

hea chuck i am leaning toward agreeing with you. their has been a lot of us keeping this deal going for a long time we are in the worse part of the year for gaming and getting together we went from great game and lots of good racers to nascar then to the game that has cut our guys down to what we have left if you want to point out game problem i would say r factor was the killer but i do understand what you are saying i can run the server that we have from my house and the vent without any problem the thing i want is feedback if everyone thinks we do not need this server and website speak up the vent can be ran from my house through i p with no problem but i will only mess with this deal if everyone is in agreement so guys you need to speak up and do it fast i always pay for this deal up front if you want to keep this deal going everyone needs to speak up now no later than a couple weeks away so its time to do something is the server dieing well it may be but one thing i wont let happen is take away a place for all of our friends to meet up and have a place to shoot the breez and get together no matter what they want to do we have made to many friends and still get together to lose it so time to get feed back let me know as soon as possible post it on message board or catch us on vent thanks jerry

Well it sadens me to read the posts above,,,, Jerry, you have taught me so much over the years about computers and online racing from the dtrsc days up till now... Our GYB team is what it is today thanks to you, and ya nitro team's help over the years. I think we all wish dtrsc would run on xp but those days are long gone,,,,Nascar was a game i couldn't get into but thats only me,,,,as for rfactor or dirtfactor,,,when it first come out you guys had this site rockin with the "fixed setups" server,,, there was plenty of peeps running all the time,,, then for some reason the Nitro server went open sets,,,,now its quiet as on the server,,,, hmmmmm maybe that means something \ I wish the OO guys all the best with thier new team,,,,, but it takes more than a new name, a new site and a new vent for it to be a success I takes a lota hard work to keep everyone interested... ,,,, It would be a shame to see nitro vanish after all these years,,,,, Just my 2 bobs worth,,,,, cheers mick,,,,,,,,,,

Mick,you are right,it does take alot of work and time to keep a website and race servers going.But when no one wants to help with that,it gets too time comsuming.1 or 2 guys can not do it all. As far as thinking going from fixed to open sets,that is what 3/4 of the guys wanted.The setups have nothing to do with it,if fixed setups are so popular,how come there are not more of them?.....most of the team is gone or dont want to run nascar,dirtfactor,ect. Nobody cares anymore to run as a team or to help out with anything. 4 of the admin have left for their own reasons and left this site up to me and sometimes bulldog. I don't want nitro to die either,but who is going to stepup and help? We are very limited to what we can do. Most of the guys that try or don't try to run dirtfactor wont give it a chance for people to help them out. I have tried to help others,but not given enough time. That is why I said to let everything expire except for vent so everyone that still comes around can have a place to chat or play what ever they are playing. The team is dying and the only ones to blame is the team. As for the guys starting up a new team,more power to them. Jerry,you said for the OLO guys not to be trying to recruit racers from here.....who are they going to recruit??? I understand what you are saying though,but really what can they do to hurt this team anymore than it already is. Nobody is trying to kill dtrsc-nitro,it started before that happened. I have a ton of respect for this site and for what it has done over the years,but now what? For the last 1 1/2 yrs I have basically run the site,message board ect by myself.....where did my help go...he left.
Have you not noticed since I put this post up how many people have come in here to show concern? Nobody uses this board for anything or the website for that matter.
Chuck

IMAO we should keep the old vent running at your house Jerry. Do away with the Server. No one is using it and now with the spin off "team" having their own (server) you are just wasteing good casino money LOL. In the future, if a good game comes along that a bunch of guys get fired up about, we can donate bucks for a rental server to run the game on. I f no one is willing to cough up money to race, piss on 'em.

There ya go jerry,why waste anymore of your or anyone elses money for something that noone is using.We had a group that wanted to help.......where did they go? They said piss on 'em...they can run the stuff. And that is what has happened here. Its all ok till that person(s) speaks up and all hell breaks loose. I have been part of 3 nitro teams(www.nitro-racing.com being the original the nitro) and the first 2 teams gave up on me to run everything and I was the last one to leave. So if anyone has been doing this for a long time its me.I asked for help,got some for a very short period and then nothing...like I said the only ones to blame is the entire nitro team. Always got to point the finger in the wrong direction. The spin off team as you call(team nitro is a spinoff itself) had no choice to do what they felt needed done,cause there was no support coming from anywhere else. Jerry,you use to get so hype up about guys running the league,but noone promotes it anymore....NOONE! Shut it down and save your money. Don't miss the point here guys.....its dying!!

you know chuck you are the first one that posted that dtrsc was dying? and for yourself how much have you been in here in the last few months? you know as well as me that summertime is always bad for gaming and as for a spin off for dtrsc well this was not a spin off this was started by a few of us that was racing in game spy it was put together peice by peice and if you think its dying then really you dont have to worry about anything anymore just let it blow by and move on to something else their is still guys in here that has been here for the long haul and as long as their is a few friends getting together and having fun ill keep it going ya know the money dont mean s h i t to me it what we have done as far as meeting friends and being able to have fun with all and talk so ill keep it going as long as im not the last man standing and as of right now their is still dtrsc guys out their they are in their everynight yes the other two teams you was on did take a dump it was no way as good as what we have so what can i say sorry it didnt work out people come and go but they know they can come to dtrsc and meet people and talk on vent and shoot the breez with us so one thing we need to do is not let it die if you think its dying please do what you think you want to do but stuff like this does nothing for anyone thanks jerry9k

You are right about 1 thing,a few guys come here to talk,which is great.But nothing else and that is what I am talking about.The racing aspect is gone,the team racing is gone. And as for summertime and being in here,I have been in here racing and chating.You just haven't been in here to see me. And as for the spin off as dave put it,I was just making a point. You are taking this as I am pointing out the wrong thing. Iam nitro...always have been,ALWAYS WILL BE! As for now....I am just freelance racing.

to build up team nitro, we need the new version of vent, why ? cause thats what all the other guys are running, it is so much easy to just give out an i.p. than to have new guys install the old version along side the 1 they have, they just dont do it, alot of guys have more than 1 site and servers, i dont ever want to see this site go down, lets expand and build , i will help any way i can

hea dice their is a simple answer for everything you can take it from me what we have is the best their is for the money we want to spend we have complete control of our server and our website and if someone or anyone has a idea to make things better all they have to do is talk to me or us or whoever is left if the only reason these new guys want to do it is vent go out and purchase it put it on the server you have now duh all it takes is money but go out and buy a new server i looked on 321 and what i saw on 321 the smallest price was 85.00 a month wow we pay 20.00 a month then you have to get website and domain name then you have to purchase vent lowest i seen was 4.00 a month and you never own it so be real man what do you guys need that dtrsc cant give you cheaper and better you tell me and best way is catch me on vent lets talk about it i been spending money and getting everything that dtrsc guys has wanted for many years if it can be done i can do it but one thing im not going to do is kill the site because of a few guys wanting something else if thats the case more power to you guys hope it works for you but it can be done here just as well catch me on vent we can help or we can say our good buys to the new breed thanks jerry p s dtrsc will live till i kill it and im not ready to kill it to many friends to stop
