Some of the more sensitive members here might take this as me just firing off another cheap shot at the IRL. However the facts for out weigh that argument. How many back injuries and flying cars do we have to see as race fans to know that there is an inherent design problem in these IRL cars? Up until the late to early 2000’s CART raced on just as many ovals as the IRL. Never has CART had a rash of serious back injuries or car’s flying like the IRL does. So saying that the IRL races on more ovals therefore they will have more injuries is not a true statement. The injury rate in the IRL is now about even with the amount of races the series has run. Paul Dana’s career is over before it ever really begin. Briscoe’s car went flying so we can add his name to the name’s of IRL drivers who have earned their pilots license. God forbid if a airborne car is hit by another car. That could be a double fatality real fast. I will watch the 500 and I will watch some other IRL race’s but come on politics and all the other B.S aside drivers safety should be the forefront for any series. No matter what side of the fence you side on for open wheel racing no one wants to see any driver being hurt. Racing is dangerous and it will never be “safe” but the numbers don’t lie. There has been to many flying cars and spinal injuries. Someone needs to take a look at what is making these cars so hard on drivers backs and figure out a way to keep them on the ground.
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.
Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.
Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.
The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.
With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.
