I really dont like having to come out again to say this. I really don't.

Just today, I believe, somebody named 'SLP Design' has edited CPD's McLaren F1 XP1, and my great friend Nick's Toyota Supra.

What he did was give credit to the author, and really screw up the car with the horrible paint, and even worse performance CARP.txt, dash...ruined the cars.

He calls himself the author of the car.

Here's the deal. I asked politely last time for people not to upload cars they modify without permission and release them.

Just because you give credit to the author, and upload the car, does not give you the right to add the car as your own, without permission. It's not tolerated here.

I should just go ahead and bring this out now. If you all go over to Midtown Madness - you will see quite a bit of stolen NFS 4 Cars converted to Midtown Madness 2. I contacted the webmaster about this, and, naturally, he ignored my warning to remove the cars. He didn't follow through.

I will see about having that site removed from the GAMIGO network, and I have faith that all of you will be behind me in this situation. If not, then it's all good...maybe my name will be ruined in the NFS community, but I seem to be one person who takes action and stands up for everybody's rights here, even if it makes me fall, and my website ( bmwsport.net ).

Let's clean this up.

-Jeff

Shit! There are tons of stolen cars on that site!
BMWsport25 years ago
When I email somebody, or contact somebody -- I mean business, and expect a reply - obviously this person doesn't know that.

I have contacted the owner of gamigo.de and have requested the site to be deleted.
BMWsport25 years ago

jake@loop.de works, but no replies yet...?

If i see any cars i reqonise i'll tell the original author 'cause if someone stole one of my cars i'd expect at least someone to tell me.
BMWsport25 years ago
These 2 cars, the McLaren and the Supra were uploaded to JPRacing and this site - they are on the site, but will not be released.

AMEN SPORT !
Im glad to stand with you on that.
BMWsport25 years ago
I got this guy's email address now. he goes by the name "Greyhound" and takes ownership of all cars he steals and converts. Namely, CPD's McLaren F1 XP1.
KleinMorschi@gmx.de

stealing is a crime where i'm from, thus, anyone who steals is considered a criminal. criminals should face the (long) harm of the law. and if there is no law, we'll make one of our own and enforce it.
stealing is a crime, noone should steal anything... what's wrong with these guys? their mothers don't rise them well enough?

I'm with you Jeff. If you want I can get you an army of NFS guys who are upset with this MM2 for a long time. I'm not joking.

Jeff you should post this on the NFSC Boards and we could all go after the site.

Never mind I see J. Simoes(Zizo) has posted it.

I dont support NFSCars.

NFSCars is enforcing it's policies regarding stolen cars. Lots of stolen cars have alredy been removed.

I'm by the troops.Those fuc****sites are so bad that they try to protect themselves.But the worst thing is definitely to keep parts of cars.I don't care that much if I got credits to parts(anyway who reads readme's??).All I want is somebody to ask permission.I write that in my readme's.Its really stupid to steal cars.BTW Jeff bmwsport won't be ruined if you stand for a cause like that...

post some info on this we should all post it on our sites....
BMWsport25 years ago
The entire NFS community MUST take part in this. It's vital. If this doesn't get taken care of, Nobody will make any new cars for NFS4 or NFS3. I know I wont. If the BMW V12 LMR, or the BMW 3.0 CSL get converted, i'm going to be a raging ball of fire. I've received a few supporting emails, thanks for them. Also, I have not received any email replies from the webmaster of gamigo.de or from the webmaster of midtownmadness.de either.

Wammy25 years ago
jeff...you can cout on me...if we have to hack midtownmadnes.de to teach them a leasson....i know i will if there is nothing else that will work...
BMWsport25 years ago
Ok. I am preparing an Email to be sent to Greyhound. I would like to copy this email to any given number of people tonite. The email will be sent out at 11pm eastern time.

Whoever would like a copy of this letter, email me - jeff@bmwsport.net

What if you convert a car from NFS3 to NFS4, ask the author for permision via email, and they don't answer...then you upload it anyway? would made by so-and-so...converted by so-and-so work?
BMWsport25 years ago
24 - I dont think that will work. Somebody can say "I emailed xxx, and i never got a reply" -- when possibly, they never sent an email. There should be some proof.

Wammy25 years ago
jeff...your cars are on my site now...any other cars you want me to add to my site???
J
J.Sim?es25 years ago
24, when I found NFS and all the great cars made then, I tought wow I wish I could make 1 too. Guess what, 3 months later I was releasing my first car. It's ugly, the driver don't have head, the textures were miserable but was my first car and I was very proud. So if I made a car why shouldn't everybody try it too. The NFSCommunity's here to help everyone's doubts. BMW 328i touring at nfscars.
BMWsport25 years ago
Let's add another person to the list.


Andreas Neuer.

He took JP Racing's Deutz M?hdrescher, uploaded it to "http://www.nfssd.de" - and called it his own car. No credit to JP at all. The webmaster, El Barto Simpson added it to his site, probably knowing, it was stolen.

Hey, hey, don't let me out of all the fun...I wish the NFS community had a policing system where the 'police' would look out for these ignorant, rude losers and shut them down. I'm totally for going after these ousy thieves, and if I can help in any way, let me know.

JettaMan0425 years ago

I'm from the Midtown Madness community, Link . You don't know how long most of us have waited for something like this to happen =o). Many car creators have tried to remove ripped off or stolen cars from the site, but they refuse to do anything. I support you 100% trying to get the site taken off the network.
BMWsport25 years ago
things are looking good now guys - this problem should be fixed very very soon, i'm making great progress!

***VERY IMPORTANT***
A lot of NFS guys are receiveing e-mails with virus, pay atention to aol.exe, hti.exe, snoopy.exe. These e-mails come from NFS reliable guys and I know they don't have nothing to do with it.

Uh thanx Mako Shark. I can`t figure out how NFSCars has like 2000 more hits than any other site when it`s down.

I wish he would remove that when his site is down - he should not be even counting on the charts when the site's not even up - nobody else even stands a chance.

lol... look's we're gonna have war. I don't like nfs car thiefs... You have my support. I don't make cars but it gets on my nerves when people steal other people's cars. By the way, how is going the "battle" against mm2.de?
Venom800TT25 years ago
Stealing is so childish, the people who steal need to grow up.

HMD25 years ago
Bimmer Sport is right; stolen cars should be removed. I just downloaded the SLP-car, and I have the base car, CPD's McLaren F1 XP5. They both look good, but I just downloaded it to change the carp.txt file for my own personal use. I figured I would change it back to CPD's, since SLP's has the XP5 wheels, and they do look good.
