Brrr and wut wit TLR?

Xarian, how exactly do people find back TLR? lancersreactor.com doesn’t work anymore.
Next step is Google, and that more than likely will point to TSP. The fansite also points to many sites before TLR.
Some years ago, I would’ve said that TLR was a valuable name, an identity tied to FL. Now it’s just a ghost, and its worth has diminished greatly. I’m not saying it cannot rise back from its ashes - anything can - but just don’t expect it to soar to new heights or reunite FL or anything of the sort.
If anything, it’d cause more of a divide than there is now, but I am not one to comment on that, for my position is obviously one-sided.

I popped by, and saw several old old names that I remember, who may not remember me (except Para/Alex). So it appears I wasn’t alone in that way.
TLR was always the Zoner base, a Freeport, for all and sundry FL related. I really hope this is restored if it keeps the logo/name.
However, it is hard to be truly impartial when people have vested interests in various things, so who knows what it will become or be - it is up to the owner. However, I hope they’re given a chance/break by certain elements (referring to a certain individual who has been a recurrent problem for large portions of the community in the past few years)

OP must be some kind of maniac, is he on a one man crusade or something? He’s solo on his mod, got his own crossfire swat community to maintain, a moddb page, and now he’s taking on lancers which is so far out of date it would take a monumental effort to get it to anywhere near the standards of this place. Even then, most of the movers and shakers left in the FL community seem to be gathered here now.
It seems like he feels he’s got something to prove, but to whom? This is just a joke like, but does he live in a basement with twenty computers, a portable tv and a campbed whilst mostly surviving on cheese toasties and biscuits. I bet he gets some awesome migraines.

Here’s the link that I have for it and have had it on my website in the portal.
http://www.swat-portal.com/php/lancersreactor/index.php?page=Portal
I will say that it’s an OP site.
Nothing like it used to look at all but at least it’s still around. I missed the old site and was happy I come across it in the beginning. I must have collected over 300 mods and others items from there back in the days.When they went down, that’s when I gave up on modding until I found other places a while after but by then, I had more or less lost track of everything and now, you guys got me all confused with what you’re doing today. By the time I get going on something, it’s already been changed or, updated. :lol:
Anyway, the link works.
As for OP and his efforts, at least he cares that much about Freelancer to try and keep everything available like, TLR. No telling where would be if he hadn’t of taken it on…gone for good maybe? I’m happy to see it’s still around no matter what’s happened in the past. It may just improve and get back up to standards, no sense in knocking the effort. Like it was mentioned, there’s a link to here now that wasn’t before. Chill.

@ FF… simple really… out of pure old habit
as chips said… its like the zoner freeports… TSP might be up there on the list but peeps will still look for TLR out of pure habit.Don’t read me wrong here… Im just as skeptical as the next Freelancer that’s seen it all go up & down time and time agian… but bashing the idea won’t help either… as we all know OP loves a good duel… be kinda cool to avoid that scenario this once and play the “let’s see” card

lancersreactor.org is a shortcut
/my 2 cents -
Any clue how he managed to get the TLR database? I mean, how did he got MC or another TLR admin to give him the data? Hard to imagine somehow…
-
I have no issue with Op trying to Breath life back into TLR and so long as it represents the Community as a whole i wish him luck and will support the project … I dont buy the old argument that too many fan or support sites confuse players , i believe in the more resources for the core group the better …

Therefore, my only fear is that those people will side with OP and cause havoc for sites that are in “competition” with TLR and/or Swat.

Yeah, sometimes there are fanatics

I’d be stunned if that counted for anything in their eyes
But, we can but hope it’s an end to a chapter and a smoother future for all.I kinda doubt it though - FL and ridiculous dramas seem to be part and parcel of the community unfortunately

Life is difficult enough, why the hell would anyone waste time on such pointless pursuits as feuding over freelancer. Video games are supposed to be an enjoyable past, the moment they become more than that it’s surely time to take a long hard look in the mirror and see who’s looking back at you.
-
As much as I’d like to agree with you, Timmy, looking back at Freelancer’s history, I see more drama than I care to remember.
-
Op asked for domain db etc. I said yes there is 0 conspiracy or drama this time. I am closing out and hopefully this time I can stay out. Good luck here and good luck to op.

I’m shocked by the dramaqueen action going on in the FL community still!
How can someone possibly argue like this over code sharing? Its just stupid.
I do side with you guys, I love you all you know.
The point is that I don’t see OPs big problem in sharing a little bit, and then create this huge drama about people nagging on him about sharing.Timmy51m wrote:

Pathetic in my opinion.

The only drama since I started to re-build up TLR happened right here on this thread. Comments from people which stated to prefer to see the site gone for good or people made personal statements against me even going so far suggesting that i would probably use illegal methods to harm TSP or other FL sites are completely out of order.
Azza has handed over the site to me (thx for that) and many people from TLR and from other communities want to see TLR back and are willing to help. In fact right now there are 4 FL communities working together to get this Project on its feet. As far as i remember there has been no other cooperation of this kind in the past 3-4 years, so talking about a split FL community is getting somewhat relative these days.
Unlike others i dont like to see a FL community dying and unlike others i dont always think about the personal benefit of my own site. Nobody of you needs to like what happens at TLR right now but… maybe… just maybe you might remember when you blamed me not to support your projects. Exactly the same situation (which btw. happened before several times).So here is my suggestion:
Those ppl which have a problem that we build up lancersreactor again should stay away from that site and such discussions once any forever, since TLR obviously is not your business anymore.
All others… the people which want to support us… the people which are actually interested in the Freelancer community instead of only being interested in TSP… these people clearly free to be part of our “community project” and can of course benefit from it.If you disagree with this suggestion and think that your personal views are more important than the FL community then feel free to continue this drama here… your loss.
Oh… and one more thing (since i think it has to be said before i leave this place again)…
Those which blame me for not sharing something here should better ask themselves when they went to www.swat-portal.com www.freelancercommunity.net, lancersreactor.org or one of the many other sites out there to share something with the people over there. Sharing should probably work in more than just one direction.Thank you for reading
goodbye
