Its incestuous here though...its almost sickening the way people harp on...."every track should be likrsthis"..."this is the best track EVER"...when they havent even tried a lot of the tracks people are making. This forum is pretty much sickening...and what makes it worse is this little elite crew who basically are just each othets groupies bang on about what a community this is....yeah maybe for the 10 or 20 of those but lets face itit closed doors to new members where they are concerned.

I know this post will cause mutiny but i dont give a !"#¤ anymore....the way this lot kiss each others asses is pitiful...ive even seen other forums where people have mentioned the arrogance and elitism that goes on here. Its such a shame and i really hope more new people come and arent put off by the small minority who shut everyone else out.

It needs new blood...it needs more people like jonofthejungle and hoorayitsmike who are there for the new members to give them tips and feedback to help them improve...and less of these *******s who only come out of hiding because their hero made a new track. Theres probably 30 posts or more on the first page alone where no one has bothered to comment or try the tracks people have made...they take time on these tracks and post here to get advice and feedback and be a part of the community...and their post slips unnoticed so why should they bother again? Then you get heet or murdoch release a track and everyone puckers up and lavishes them with praise. Sure there tracks are superb...but many others could be too if these cliquey members gave them 2 minutes to offer advice.

I will gain a large group of enemies here from this...but thats fine by me...ive felt this was for a long time here and im glad someone provoked a situation where i can speak my mind.

I couldn't agree more.

I don't even get on the forums anymore, much less participate in the Trials community as a whole, simply because there is no such thing anymore.

The reason this forum and community drew me in was because it was small, considerate, honest, modest, and friendly. Back when I first joined, it was a great place for people like me.. new, aspiring, and creative. I got help from a ton of great people and I loved it.

And now it seems I've watched it fall apart due to the oversaturation of this oligarchy consisting of a few groups. Its community-wide masturbation, and no one pays attention to the little guy.

It mirrors the direction of the music industry. EVERYone pays attention to these few people, when there are limitless amounts of just as talented, if not MORE talented, people readily available.

After seeing this post, I feel like I should investigate everyone else except the big names. And I shall do so.

lol, I didnt mean it in that sense. But yeh, it does apply to Trials.

[jook13]

If you enjoy their tracks, let em know. Who cares how popular they are or not.

[kingkongomax]

lol Im not saying I hate popular creators, Im saying there are too many great people that arent recognized.

Editing out this post..one rant was enough and i dont want to make matters worse.

I don't see why this is just now boiling up. There have been creator "cliques" since HD. People like what they like. New people get ignored in real life, not sure why it matters so dang much on the internet. Hell. my own HD tracks hardly got any play, and I don't think anyone knew (or knows) me as a builder. But you know what, I don't whine about it, nor would I appreciate someone whining for me. (Whining may be a little strong. Can't think of a better word though)

I understand wanting to see more creators, and that there is a lot of undiscovered talent, but that will always be the case with hundreds and thousands of new tracks every day. It's just easier to stick with what you know. And not everyone likes sifting through TC to find gold.

The way you word this it comes across as though you only see one aspect of my point...and not the whole picture. Ive tried as best i can to explain it..i wont keep clarifying it.

[rlmergeuser]

I only read your previous post, so if the rest of your point was elsewhere, I didn't read it. If it was in that post, you didn't make it clear at all. You just seemed to repeat the same thing over and over. Not my fault.

Just so you guys know... Wish I had more time to play certain peoples tracks. But, I've been busy in the editor. And I'm not really playing any customs let alone singling out specific people. Of course however, When one of my good friends that I talk to online all the time, Releases a track. Of course I'm gonna play it, And of course I'm gonna leave feedback when I've played something exceptional.

And no need to worry about those pesky talented map makers taking all the avatar item giveaways, The elitists won't be making maps for too much longer. Most of their maps will go from highest rated, To buried. No sense in putting in a week or mores worth of work into a track that's going to be practically non existent, While some other tracks that were sloppily thrown together get free advertisement and are graced with over a hundred thousand downloads. Damn, I know some kid who literally copied his own driveline in two maps, Changed the theme, Got some numbers... And then...

....

You wouldn't believe it if I told you, And... Either can I.

On another note... Murdoc And Skum tracks droppin this week. HEET just killed it with POWER TRIP! db VOLTRON db CREW, Reppin that back of the bus, Here have an avatar item hotness.
