If you happen to be female, never, ever mention that. It's for your own safety.

Don't be silly, females don't exist on the internet!

It's true, actually, the majority of females on the internet are males pretending to be female. The others are hardcore feminists.

Wow. You learn something new every day, don't you!

Actually, This, weren't you the one offering to cross-dress for me the other week? Proves a point doesn't it!
EDIT: This, This, is what I was recalling...

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 04 Dec 2014, 22:06

Well, yes, i'm sorry i traumatised you with that :lol:

It doesn't really prove a point, as i'm not pretending to be female, in fact, i am very open about my gender identity confusion, but i never denied that i have male anatomy

But yeah, obviously, i did try presenting as female online a few times, and i must say you learn really a lot about how the internets work. You get to know guys in a ... eh... very...different way. Trust me, you really don't want to know. It kind of turned me into a lesbian man.

I'm not really traumatised, but at the time, I thought it was you just mucking about. I wasn't aware you actually had gender identity confusion? I'm intrigued to know how it affects you in your everyday life, but not sure if this is the right place to discuss it?

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 04 Dec 2014, 22:41

It was a mockery, as obviously, i don't dress up other people, and don't wear any fetish stuff. But there was truth behind it, as i explained later in this topic.
Yeah this forum probably isn't the right place to discuss matter like these. Defenitely not this topic, it was absolutely not my intention to scare people off, but i guess, i done it again :oops:

I just want to let the new guys know that this subject is not representative of the forum.

I'm sure it is just what it is. And as you said before, this forum is quite accepting and non-judgmental on the whole. There is more trolling for being a fan of Vettel/Lewis/Red Bull than you do for cross-dressing on here, I have found!

Nessafox · Post by **Nessafox** » 04 Dec 2014, 22:54

Thank god i'm not a Vettel/Hamilton/Red Bull fan, then! They don't have support groups for that. :lol:

Welcome ChequeredFlagNope and stratonascar to this forum. Hope you can share a few laughs in here.

By the way, if you want a popular welcome you should state that you are female. From the looks of the previous pages it works like a charm! :lol:

As our good friend Enoch wrote:

eytl wrote:I do apologise that the downage of the site (when no adequate word exists, make one up) has occurred suddenly and without further explanation, and that that status remains. I acknowledge that this little crazy hobby of ours has been a source of free entertainment and enjoyment for many of you for a long time, but right now that can't be the case.

I appreciate that for many of you, that may seem somewhat unsatisfactory. But clearly there are some issues we are having to work through. Some of it is personal. I know in this PR-saturated world that is often an excuse which is trotted out but, in this case, I can say that that is true. But I don't think Jamie or I can or should say any more.

I would simply ask for your patience. I would also politely ask that you do not speculate as to what the issues are. As I would prefer to err on the side of being overkillingly cautious in that regard, I propose to lock this thread. My apologies again.

Hi everyone! I've been a fan of the podcast for years, and enjoyed the website for about 2 years. It's heartbreaking to see the podcast fall onto hard times, so I hope that something can be revived - there is enough creativity in the community to support the work, and god knows F1 needs it.

I've also been a huge fan of SidePodcast and the youtuber IntoTheBarrier, who also semi-retired from Youtube recently. He has a similar Australian sense of humor and love for the hopeless hopefulls. It's been a sad few months for F1's comedy fans.

Is there any way to help support the website? I would love to send a donation; I know how much servers can cost and it isn't cheap. I've gotten more joy from F1Rejects than from many things that I've happily paid for. At least let me contribute to the beer fund.

Thanks guys and gals,

Welcome Chris! Yes, it is a great sadness to know that there will not be any more podcasts, at least not from Jamie and Enoch. I can take care of that donation if you like, you can just send it to me.

Jokes aside, once again, welcome and:

There used to be a merchandise shop that I kept intending to make purchases from. There used to be a link to it from the main website. I tried Googling it yesterday, but to no avail...

This has been taken offline permanently.

As I said before, the website is not extinct, merely dormant. There might even be new merchandise forthcoming in the future. But this is a long term goal rather than something coming immediately.

Thanks Biscione. I was always tempted to get a t-shirt/polo shirt or two and now it's too late. Always the way. Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today...

I only saw your question just now, perhaps you already found out in the intervening period, but to answer it, try here. It should hopefully work with DOSBox. In future, the best place to ask any gaming-related questions would be the Black Stig Memorial Forum.

Hi all!
After reading the forum and the main site for a long time, I decided to finally join.
I've been watching formula 1 all my life, for as far as I can remember, so since about 1997-1998.
Also, I've always been a fan of the underdogs, in particular Minardi and Super Aguri.
Am I supposed to tell more here?

Welcome tBone! It seems you are already familiar with the site, forum and all of our religious traditions. Should you say more? That's up to you. You could reveal all your embarrassing secrets in one post or drop subtle hints throughout the forum. You decide.

Well, I suppose an embarrassing thing about yourself is your clear love for the singer Foxes.

Although in fairness, given that I'm the resident Kate Nash/Amy Macdonald/Paloma Faith fanboy on the forums, you're OK.

You heard that Baker? Hands off.
