Yes but PC games are just that - PC games, I like startegy games on the PC, red alert, command and conquer etc.. You play PC games sat at a desk with a monitor and headphones or speakers. I play Gears of War, Splinter Cell etc on my plasma in the front room lounging on the sofa with a wireless controller. VOice interaction with all the players through a wireless headset, and graphics that blow away any PC graphics, well that is, any PC that you can buy with the same money as an Xbox 360 costs. I do like my PC for single player strategy, but online multiplayer with really playable games, its got to be consoles for me.

Halo and Halo 2 are just fantastic - Halo 3 should be great. I agree - certain FPS on the 360 would be awful, counterstrike or Tac Ops would be a bit arkward, but others are just plain great - Ghost Recon was the first game I played on my 360, and the first to be finished, and I think it is excellent - the controls and gameplay are very good indeed. Currently adicted to Gears of War and Zuma off the xblive arcade.

I know - almost a year, its certainly been eventful. Im sure we can come up with something

Youve not played Gears of War then.

Not to sound condescending, but we already implement both of those options. We have randomly generated code/text image confirmation, and we have always required email confirmation of accounts. The problem is, the programmers behind these spam registrations have programmed their "bots" to work round these measures. Indeed we have added extra options like "are you human" questions, in which the user must select yes, and we have also made the "website" field invisible on the registrations form (can be filled in by legitimate users after they have completed regsitration). The field is still there, its just invisible to a human filing in the registration form, and robot trying to fill the form in will not realise it is invisible and try to fill it in, if it does, the registration is unsuccessful. Or at least that's the theory. As I say, most of the countermeasures have been noted by the programmers and their bots have been given even more complex coding to work round them. Im currently working on a bespoke solution which will involve bespoke questions and answers, so should have the desired effect - but asits not an "off the shelf" solution, its taking some time.

I play quite a lot of Gears of War, completed the single player on easy, but have now taken to trying it on "insane" which does exactly what it says on the tin. Ive got Ghost Recon, and may be getting COD3 for crimbo. Perhaps those of us with similar games can organise some sessions where we can shoot each other in our virtual heads!

Hi, As you are no doubt aware, we are currently experiencing issus of spam registrations, and spam posts (links to adult sites/spam sites etc). We are working to fix this, indeed to modifications have already been made to the registration page in an attempt to stop this, however the hackers/spammers have programmed the automatic registrations to work around these fixes (well documented fixes will attract well documented workarounds I suppose). There are several modifications/additions to the forums planned, however stopping these spam registrations is the highest priority right now. Can I please suggest that if anyone spots one of these posts, instead of replying to it, which will bump it back up the page, simply post a link to the post below - one of the mods/admins will check it out, and delete the offending post and user. Sorry for the hastle and these constant spammers spoiling the forum, I am working hard to try and fix it for you. Regards, Chris.

Sarnie, Please engage brain before doing stuff like that. As Mike said - its 100x100 max, and please try to bear in mind this forum if viewable by any audience, and several members log on from work. No disrespect to anyone who reads it, but this site is not Max Power, and I was hoping we could keep this forum above "chav" level. Ta, Chris.

You could also try placing the base station for the phones as far away from the router as possible, that may help too.

Its the radio frequency. I think the Dlink and the phones either both run at 5ghz or 2.4ghz. Thats the top and bottom of it. You could try switching the channels on the phone, or altering the channel number of the wireless router - it may help, but chances are it will still persist in some form. Your best bet is a different phone set with a ghz frequency different to that of the wireless router

Ill always remember following behind Val into Donnington in the summer, I had the window down so culd hear the comments from people stood next to their tents watching the cars drive in.. There was one couple stood to our right and the chap said to his missus, look at that 350, pointing to Val's. She replied with "yeah, thats nice". The bloke then said "wow, a convertible, bet you'd like one of those" to his missus, "to which she replied, "Thats a Nissan, I'm not having a Nissan!".. The bloke then informed his bint that it was 350z convertible, made by the same people as the one that had drivn past just seconds ago (Vals). She then says, "I dont want a 350z anymore". Said it all really. Mind you, I do wonder what she would have said if I had offered her a swap for the rusty Rover Vitesse she was standing next to?

Wise words. Remember "just the none" if driving.

I paid £990 for a second hand set with very new tyres on (still had the little pimple bits on). But they were very local to me so I didn't mind paying the extra as it saved me hastle in delivery etc.

Nah - Im just not modding mine, as every other blue one is being modded, by doing nothing to mine, it will become unique by default! Ive seen that spoiler (the one on the link to ebay) on a few Z's I think. Looks a bit OTT for my liking.

Because it looks a shared IP handed out from Easynet on a dynamic basis?... Steady on Sherlock. Welcome to the forum Oggy, hope you enjoy it

Isn't it more a case of blue ones NEED to be modded to stand out from the other 1 billion blue ones!

If they are going to go ahead with that bulge, then this is great news for us, as its ruddy hideous. Nissan do know how to keep the buyers of one of their flagship cars happy dont they, replace it every few months with a new model. Doubt Ill buy nissan again after this, they depreciate bad enough as it is without releasing newer models every six months.

Everyone knows about the tardis storage area in the Roadster too, dont they.... At JAE I manged to get two folding chairs, two sleepijg bags, two fleece coats, some towels and a couple of jumpers in there.

Just like any other sticker, I wouldnt advise sticking them on the paintwork. Coupe owners sometimes put them in the quarterlight windows, or the rear windscreen. A few roadster owners have done away with the Z in the middle of th sticker, and placed them over the Z in the wind deflector, which looks quite nice I think. (not that m biased)

The people really annoy me too. Not one to point out the irony, but below is the header picture from one of those sites. And which lane were they in in order to take that?...

Thanks for the info Chris, they certainly look great.

Hmm - sounds like a potential future mod in the making for any LED gurus.

With my weight and the right gear on my mountain bike, I reckon I could get to 300NM pretty easy. Doing that while having my stubby legs do 4000 rpm though is another matter. I did like the styling of the interior on the RX-8 though, very nice touches on the seats/stereo etc replicating the rotary symbol in various places.

Some countries still do it, Mexico for one, you pick a ball out of a bag, depending on the colour denotes the section you take part in I think, and at the end you have a one in 3 chance (ball in a bag method) of having to do another 2 years. I reckon they should have it here to put a stop to the likes of car keying chavs etc. On the ambulance front, its not your fault, and if your car cannot physically be driven out of the way without causing damage, you are within your rights to stand still. The ambulance driver should know which routes are busy at which times, and take the appropriate routes, which they clearly didn't.
