NO! this is CATEGORY nomination, read the title you n00bs.

imagine if me and Spaz had done pressups after all of our posts, we'd be fucking bodybuilders by now! Actually Slayer has quite a few posts too, so he'd be a fairly muscly fellow too...

Ok, so for the forum awards this year we're looking for a wide array of categories members can be nominated. So here's a list, if you can think of any others... general awards, gta related awards, funny awards... Most Respected Member - who makes quality posts and is looked up to the most Most Helpful Member - who answers the most topics with useful replies (gta and non-gta forums) Most Improved Member - who used to be a n00b but is a good member now Best New Member - who joined within the last few months and is awesome Funniest Member - who posts the funniest comments (gta and non-gta forums) Brainiest Member - who knows the most about GTA Best Signature - who has the best custom signature Best Gang - which gang impresses the most Best Moderator - which mod has done the most work Weirdest Looks - who looks the weird in their photo Most Annoying - who's the most annoying member So that's 11, or 12 including sexiest member. Your ideas please

Nobody knows. We'll all be dead by the time it's released. Topic Closed.

The list of glitches currently pissing me off: Vehicles you store in garages don't stay there Every time you turn in a vehicle it sounds as if you're skidding along, even if it's just the slightest of turns If a tyre is blown out when driving along all you hear is a constant skidding sound The empire building glitch I described here On missions for the film studio where ramps are placed in the road, your car will occasionally get stuck in them so you can't finish the mission In helicopters the camera is static - so when you tilt forward you can't really see where you're going as the camera is behind looking at the roads below When you get in a vehicle it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds before you hear any engine sounds or radio When travelling at high speed textures take forever to load, sometimes you have to slow down and wait until the scenery appears so you can make sure you're not crashing into foliage and walls etc. Radio stations will randomly cut in and out AI for people on your team (such as Lance) is appalling, they will do things such as sprint straight into the vehicle they are supposed to get in (the one you're driving) and won't open the door until you reverse or move a bit. On foot they sometimes run right in front of you while you're shooting so you kill them and fail the mission. This one is rare but sometimes you kill a ped (the target is black) yet the still get up and walk around, and you have to kill them again so they actually stay dead.

This is just a heads up for any of you who plan to get 100%. One of the empire building side missions (Protection racket) sometimes requires you to kill the rival gang members who are attacking a store. Upon entering the store, sometimes the gang members are stuck outside the walls, aiming at them fucks up the camera view and you end up just shooting bullets at walls. Since the arrow to walk into at the door only appears after you've killed the members inside, you can't even get out and come back in again. So the only way out is to kill the shop owner - which in turn causes you to fail the mission - thus preventing you from gaining 100%. The amount of glitches in this game really is unbelievable, and I just cannot work out why they've even bothered to ship the game in such a mess. I would have been far happier to have waited an extra week or two while bugs were being fixed. these 11 glitches are currently annoying me - pretty poor. BTW the side mission gives you 15 'jobs' to carry out (one after the other), this glitch happened to me on the very last one, and the missions are so tedious I can't believe I even lasted that long. Basically driving up and down the island, kill some gang members, maybe enter a store and shoot their stuff... 15 times. Takes so long to do and is completely pointless.

- Youtube made it bad quality though, it was great on my PC...

Yes you could, even though it wasn't solid you could still blow it up. Evidently you haven't even tried doing it (hence you don't know) so your post was completely pointless. Please think before you go making false statements, if you don't know the answer to someones post then don't post at all, it's almost as bad as replying with "I don't know". Besides, it's exactly the same as it was back in GTA3 as well, except it didn't have a banner. Or do you want to argue that as well? You want me to make a video proving it's true?

Ha, she (it's a she, not a he ) must be gutted. Anyway, she's welcome here

Amazon.co.uk say October 31st, but they're wrong obviously. Play.com say 15th November. Gameplay.co.uk say 10th November Game.co.uk say 3rd November - the same day the game itself was released. So yeah nobody has a clue...

You may remember just over a year ago in October 2005, Rockstar released a special edition box set, "Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy" for the Xbox. Now, in time for the holiday season, Rockstar are planning to release this same box set for PlayStation 2 owners, according to a press release from Take 2. So this is a perfect opportunity for those of you who still for some reason don't own a GTA game, to immediately get all three for Christmas. Just to reiterate, GTA The Trilogy will be released on December 4th and will set you back just $39.99, mathematicians among us will know this works out at just over $13 a game, not bad.

Copied and pasted from gtapsp.com. You can tell by the negative writing style.

It means for example when you're driving along, textures won't be loaded properly, and then suddenly they'll appear, and you'll realise you're about to crash into a tree. Or something along those lines, basically saying it happens a lot and it's quite annoying.

even kokane isn't very active nowadays, since she's busy with her university course. She was only really active for like a year or so, when me and her had that whole infamous internet thing going on (you can do a little searching around and find out more if you really want to know). Then since then she's kinda inactive, but does check back every now and again, sometimes posting in some of the forum games. She's cool though, she used to play MTA VC as well which was cool. Only played with her once though. Congrats on your 1000th post btw! Guys have you seen how off topic you're causing us to go, Jesus Christ, lol, this topic is for discussing elitism, or at least members who got into the group!

no.

yeah, sexiest member was actually done for 2004 and 2005, but 2004 was crap and there were some incidents on the 2005 one which sort of ruined it, though Spaz still won, with me in 2nd I think But yeah, it will be awesome this year, assuming everyone submits their pics. In the present situation I could get 3 females max to come here, I just shot a bear is of course one of them, though whether or not she wants pictures of herself on the forum is another thing, we can't just force girls to post pictures here (well probably not anyway). I'm confident I could get Claudia to post some more up to date pictures of herself. As for Katie, well, I only managed to persuade her to be in the sexiest member poll and she posted in msn language some of the time too Finally, there was Tallow who doesn't really want to be part of the forum anymore and has the vast majority of her posts deleted. So yeah my point is, see if you can all get some girls to sign up Yes you're actually the most active female ever to grace these forums with your presence! Don't know really. Quite a few though, 20 maybe? I've really no idea until we get contributions and ideas from others. Prizes are likely to be money, and of course respect, possibly items from the store. Haven't actually thought about it much.

n00bs. Fact 1: Original GTA Master put a question mark in the topic title, he also said the word possibly and backed up his speculation. Fact 2: Tommy isn't in the game Fact 3: Everyone who started arguing about this needs to realise they were actually arguing about someones opinion that they were entitled to - that is very silly. Fact 4: I've closed this topic.

If you would like someone to make you a signature, avatar or some other graphic, this is the forum to do it in. You may find a kind person will make you one for free, though offering store money will attract more people. Please create your own topic and don't post in someone else's, otherwise people lose track of who still needs stuff done and can get very confusing. So, whenever you have a request, just make a new topic. Thanks. NOTE: Signatures must be no more than 200px in height in total (including any text). Please check any image for this before you include it in your signature.

Just like to say that awards WILL happen this year. I will be creating a topic for elite members shortly where we will decide upon the categories, then depending on some other things, we'll do nominations, finally, everyone will be able to vote. In addition to this, the prestigious sexiest member award will be having it's own topic soon, due to its immense popularity. Guys, try and get your girl friends to sign up here (assuming they have at least some interest in gta and/or forums in general). Unless I can get kokane to return we have about 1 active female member I think, we need a minimum of 3 to have a sexiest female award otherwise it's just pointless.

I'm the one working on the gang system, and no I haven't done anything on it since the last announcement. I'm waiting for the guy working on IBStore to fix all it's bugs so that my gang system can actually work properly with it.

Several people including I just shot a bear were considered but they have only been here 4 months, but as I said, we may reconsider this rule for the next time we choose elite members.

Slayer was lucky actually, it was only just over a year ago he joined. One of the specific rules I came up with was to be registered for at least a year - that proves loyalty Having said that, a year is a long time on the internet, so we may decide to lower this period, maybe 6 months or something. Anyway, we'll review the elite periodically, probably looking at choosing more around Christmas time.

Some prices may or may not be lowered. Keep in mind that the items are to be actually used by gangs. If the gangs are smart they'll organise someone to be in charge of finance, and will have most money with one person to earn more on interest, and then distribute the monies before gang wars and such

You may remember a few months ago we started a new member group here called 'Veterans'. In it were true veterans of the forum, as well as members who had contributed a lot over their time here, as well as showing a decent level of maturity. There were a few problems with this though, mainly the factual inaccuracy in calling the group 'veterans', when clearly it contained members who weren't vets. This group has now been renamed and revamped, and will now be known across the forums as the Elite Members. The elite members group contains hand-picked members, including true veterans of the forum. The veterans are members who I either knew before these forums were started, or those who joined within the first few weeks of our existence (the only active vet left now is Spaz). Other members making up the elite are chosen because: They show a decent level of maturity around the forums They contribute a lot (this doesn't mean just having a high post count, but making sure many of their posts are useful, funny and/or informative They have been here for at least a year Rhe elite members group also contains all the staff (including forum moderators, super mods, and admins), and they get similar or sometimes slightly better privileges depending on their position. You can sort the members list to see who is in the group - bear in mind the staff aren't actually shown in this group listing. So what sort of privileges do the elite members get I hear you ask. Well, they get: Increased PM Storage Increased post attachment storage Ability to delete their own topics/posts Ability to remove the 'Edited by' line when editing a post Ability to avoid flood control on searching and posting Can change display name twice per month instead of just once Access to the Elite Members forum - which contains a more mature level of discussion and topics of a more sensitive nature (stuff that'll burn your eyes) That's about it! I'd finally like to congratulate all the members who have earned the elite member status, and hope that everyone who wasn't chosen, or is currently ineligible, will aspire to be in this privileged and respected group. The elite members are the next step up to becoming staff, and it is likely that new forum moderators will be chosen from this group, you may well be seeing some new mods very soon.
