Nogripracing.com gone?

Open the website, stop having it be closed.

Please, after the fall of NoGripRacing, you got to open the site up, you're basically the last place left with any good rfactor mods.

Also, Please unban me, all I wanted was help with the EnduRacers Classics mods.

Sincerely,
umatbru (aka Matt Y)
 
It's a pity really as i'm sure most of us have backup files for our favourite games. I've got a ton of GTR2 files i've collected over the years. But i've just recently started playing Race07/GTRE again and there's comparatively nothing available for this game anywhere other than there was at NoGrip.
It's probably much the same story for the other less popular titles whose mods were hosted there.
 
Weissbier's logons no longer work, I've got an account there but can't get in. Also it's an unsecure connection site so am unwilling to sign up afresh.
Rennsimulanten is a new one on me though, so will give that a whirl thanks. :)
 
what host is used for NoGripForums sites?
Check one of my earlier posts for the host site. Basically the site was sold a few years ago to an anonymous domain holding group, it was hosted on a French site (one of the largest hosting sites in the world).

FWIW, and this is pure hearsay, I've heard the new owner(s) bought the site because of its popularity and deemed it profitable. When it ultimately wasn't showing the profit they expected they shut it down. Whether it has been archived or completely lost I've no idea. The most recent estimation of the site's value I've found was from about a year ago - just over $16k ....too bad they didn't just put it up for sale.

I only heard about NoGrip had got shut down around two days ago. I feel so bad. I might try and get in touch with the French company who hosts the website and see if I can get any more information of what's happened. Hopefully someone can also find out whats up with the guy who ran the site. In the meantime, have a cached part of the site from Google that I managed to find: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ne=14&f=116&num=1&hl=en&gl=au&strip=1&vwsrc=0
 
I've a copy of the community created SCC 2.49c mod together with some fixes. AFAIK the only links for it were in a thread. I'll try and upload it on mediafire (its over 1.5gb) but credits will be a pain to get properly.
 
Hey guys, so i looked in to buying the domain. its registered through godaddy.com, but its not for sale. However, im thinking about buying the domain Nogripracing.net...if i do, i will need your help spreading the word and getting download files on there. I really wish i had access to the original files on nogripracing.com for gtr2. There were downloads on there that i cannot find anywhere else such as the 12 hrs of sebring track, the lime rock track with the hilarious glitch with the car in the middle of the road, various rolex sports car series cars, daytona prototype cars, etc. If i get NoGripRacing.net, how many of you would be willing to help me out? I love this site, but it just feels empty as far as mods go.

Honestly, unless you have the money and the server space to back it all up, I wouldn't recommend making a new site. What I'd do is look into a program named Resilio Sync, which is similar to a torrent service but is more like a group subversion, wherein a host posts folders and files, a bunch of people start downloading them, then later on more stuff can be added.

Otherwise keep all your backups to yourself, either offline on portable HDs (risky in the event something happens to them) or online on a multitude of sites; ideally MediaFire, Google Drive and MS OneDrive at the very least.
