USPits gone forever...

Quoted from their website forum:

"After 9 years, 1 month, and 11 days, we had finally had enough.
Sometimes you just have to say "that's it!" We did. We decided we were
going to put up with it no more. The file areas, the archives, the
tools, the forums...gone. And 90% of it will not return. Ever. Period.

Why? We finally grew too tired of the bitching, whining, complaining,
bashing, and so on. We work for free here. We do this because we like
to. We want to enjoy editing and racing, and when ingrates and
crybabies start their incessant griping, it gets very aggravating. We
get to where we don't enjoy this and it becomes a tedious job.

For those of you who have been great members of the sim racing
community...we apologise that we've decided to take this action.
However, all is not lost. Many of the editors and league admins will
not lose our support. We are not just going to take our toys and go
home. Over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing some stuff back
online, and the tutorials will remain up. We will put our N2003 mods
back online for racing leagues, the Ferrari 330 mod will also be
reposted.

But our focus on N2003 is gone, and will not return. We have a few
things that are still being worked on that will probably be posted, but
that will be about it. When we fully reopen down the line, it will be a
very streamlined editing-only US Pits that you see, and with tools and
toys for a much different mod...
Cheers!

That is a terrible terrible shame. If there was some way to
send some funding their way, I'd do it, but it's too late I
suppose. Too bad there are some people who when they
don't get things exactly their way, whine and bitch and
write inflammatory posts, and they now have ended up
ruining it all for the rest of us. With RSC in limbo the
race sim community looks to be flying apart at the seams,
fracturing into a multitude of small web sites and BBSes,
which will just make it harder for people to find info or
just hang out.

I can only hope someone comes forward to fill this huge
void.

Well, the error msg implies they will be up as soon as they can. Did
they suffer a catastrophic data loss or what?

They certainly suffered a catastrophic something... the message has
been the same for weeks.

Buster, since you are standing behind your real name, I respect your
proclomation. You sir, the well known buster, have contributed time money
expertise in great gobs. and surely you have given more to the sim
community than Jan and his family and friends. Surely you MUST HAVE...

I'd like to thank you buster. Yes I'd like to thank you for making the
first PLONK of 2005 such a simple decision. Goodbye.
