Since we can't put cars in the garage with graphics we didn't create ourselves, please tell me that Sunday Punch made it into the LLJK group. If he didn't, that's a real travesty.

Also, we should start thinking about how members get culled. We've filled up the club, but I'm sure that not all 100 members will still be playing Forza 4 in a month -- or even still own it. In the meantime, there will be new members wanting to join, and it sucks to leave a valuable, contributing member out when there are members who will never show up again.

The 100 member limit sucks. My initial idea is to simply recreate the group each month. Those that are still playing or who want to keep playing will find the new group here and join. The members who don't care get culled. But I think that would wipe out any recognition our group earns over time and that kind of sucks.


Off topic, I'll go pull my cars out of the garage tonight. I don't think there's anything exclusive that I've shared.

Replace the minigun with the spoiler from that ridiculous theoretical Red Bull F1 car in GT5, problem solved. The Warthog is supposed to be adaptable to any situation after all! :pseudo:

Start checking gamercards after a few weeks and anyone who hasn't been online in a while gets kicked seems like the best plan, there's four people who are capable of removing inactive members. Making a whole new group every month is just going to cause confusion and fragment everyone even more then they already are.

We have LLJK, GISH as a secondary, and I guess also GTCC but I dunno if that's for serious racing only or what. Plus there will be Euro goon groups by the weekend as well.

Welp, there we go then. Get your asses to GTCC people, they've got insane hybrids over there too! And looks like only 24 members at current, so plenty of room!

It'd be nice if we had a way to track other clubs specifically to make it easier to keep tabs on each other. Scrolling through the leaderboards is a pain.

We can definitely live without the standard prize cars and F200 cars since pretty much everyone has those. I'd also ask folks to make sure the cars they share are actually driveable, because maxed out econoboxes that can't turn or brake or do anything but ricochet off a wall at 200mph are just a waste of space.


Go to the marketplace from the game's main menu, it's a free download.

The problem I have is that I can't find anywhere how to share anything other than cars with the club. I'd love to just make designs and vinyl groups because I can't tune for poo poo, but it seems that the club sharing is only for other people to take out a car, drive it, and put it back. Is there a hidden "upload design to club" option somewhere? Why the hell would Forza 4 let you create a club, share cars, create a RIVALS section for "Graphic Desginer" (with "score" whatever the gently caress that is), but not let you trade and share vinyl and paint schemes?

I'll pull the Goonbus and Hello Jeep from the garage if you don't want them taking up space.

No, stuff like that is fine. And to be honest, painting a Hummer like a school bus is actually quite brilliant.

I just didn't want people sharing their entire garages and having a billion standard prize cars and rocket powered beer cans in there making it impossible to find the stuff that people put a lot of effort into.

Last I checked, there were three stock Abarth Fiat 500s in the garage. That seems unnecessary.

Indeed. I'll admit I added a couple of stock cars back when the garage was fairly empty. ...then I realized you could just select stock cars to race with from the menu in multiplayer. So, there's absolutely no need for stock cars in the garage unless they're unicorns.

At bare minimum - we should all check and see that we're not adding a car that'd already there (unless it's a very different paint/tune). I think adding the unicorns was a good idea but there are way too much reward cars in there. I'm guilty of adding one or two the first day - I'll clean my room after work.

did anyone test that shared pre-order cars work? Like the 1M and CR-Z?

We had a fun time in LLJK last night with "Hummers vs X" physics experiments. An Elise can not push one off the track, and will get sent airborne if rammed from behind while trying to navigate a turn.

The bus design is in the storefront under "goonbus" for the description. It's free. Slap it on and school some pubbies.

Jalopnik seems to be working on another community pack for this game; I'm hoping for more mid- to late-'70s "performance" cars like the Chevy Monza (Google Dekon Monza if you're unfamiliar) and the AMC Spirit AMX. Some Can-Am prototypes would be awesome as well.

I would buy that thing in a heartbeat if it was in a DLC pack. This game also needs more small pickups like Mazda B2200, Nissan Hardbody, Chevy S-10, or even the GMC Syclone :allears:
