it goes by the honor system. You don't win anything and you don't lose anything. If you lie what is the point, the proof system is there because some people get wicked times that others might call BS and they are not afraid to post it.
Yeah it is flawed but I'm not going to sit there and review each one and I'm sure the track creators are not gonna verify their track scores either.
The site is for the great TrialsHD community to help appreciate each others work. A cheater will eventually be called out i guess and I can remove bad apples easily.

Just wanted to give some props on the site. It has come along very nicely. Great work.

Since we know it's possible, maybe you [I could help you as much as needed/possible] could come up with something so people could download tracks directly from the site? I could help with $$ needed and maybe you could set up a donation link [if you have a paypal or an account like that] for others who want to to help with the extra money for the bandwith/space it would need. Everyone says they're willing to pay for "global sharing".. although they would need a few other things to get the tracks on to their xbox, it's the best option as of right now.
Just an idea..

Thanks CannibalShogun, I appreciate it.
To noobaroniNcheez, I thought about the idea as I asked the question once before and the devs didn't reply. The other day I saw a post asking about this and Sebbbi posted a possible solution but he didn't condone it.
XBOX is supposed to be a very tight and closed platform. Even though there are supposed to be some memory card readers that allow their users to handle data either from their HD or Memory cards, this products are third party and not supported by MS.
The idea that a user might download a track from my site and somehow corrupt their hd, or they wipe out important information from the game or god forbid they get RRoD and they decide to blame my website for it. There are too many variables to consider and I don't want to get blamed because of a UTS (User too stupid) error.
Another issue might arise when a track owner doesn't want their track uploaded or I would have to manage the files myself to ensure no one has created a corrupt file that could brick a machine.
It comes down to the devs don't support the idea, we are using products not condoned by MS and there is a high margin of error. There is a reason why RedLynx coded TrialsHD the way they did (security, MS policy, etc) and I think in a way we should honor it even though it doesn't fit our needs.

Good point, it was just an idea. Keeping it the way it is, is probably the best way to go anyways.
On another note, any way to make it so I can stay signed in? Seems I get logged out if I go away from that site for a bit..

I seen to get this request a lot so I will increase the timeout. Right now it's at 20 minutes which is the default, i'll raise it though.Originally Posted by noobaroniNcheez
hey there should be a video section i think too. first thing i do when im looking at tracks is check for a youtube or something. with such limited space of 100 tracks total i usually want to preview first. in the video section you could search through all tracks that actually had a video uploaded for them, it would be useful.
Senior Member
That is not a bad idea, but instead of a video section I would just add it as a search value on the Tracks Search page.
yes, by searching for a blank input by selecting a has video option would show all tracks with a video attached, something like that. thanks
TOTW = Track of the Week
perhaps we could do a weekly custom track creator challenge, where creators have to build using a certain theme, or use certian objects. have it more about showing vids about the track challenge, cause the weekly challenge keeps alot of activity for invites and sharing, it can be hard to keep up lol so if this one were to be more, "sharing optional, vid required" it would leave the door swinging both ways, plus sense it's video required, some folks, like me, can't cap vids so we'd have to do some sharing, and users could still partake in the event, cause someone would have to cap mine, and other creators tracks.
helps generate activity, and the community population would also increase
just an idea...
