How Phineus you should put on the track and truck page, a counter for how many people downloaded your tracks, know what i mean, do this if you can!

It's easy to do but for the most part counters do not mean very much. I did it for trucks as a favor to Robby, but I won't be doing it for tracks any time soon. Reviews and pictures are the best indicators.

I had the 9th most downloaded truck on vales for a while. But it was complete junk so i deleted it. That shows what download counts mean. All i did was set the body model of a truck to be the school bus from the scrapyard. I didnt even resize it or anything. It was awful. But it stil had like 2000 dls or somthing.

Yep, those numbers are probably accurate, Phin - I personally d/led MOmentumX 1,620 myself lol.

I know long ago ObeOne discovered that his "Castellar Mountains" was the most d/led track at KC's at one time so I made a big deal of it on our N&U. Not sure why really lol, but it seemed to bolster his ego a little (not that he needed it, mind you). Still, I agree that reviews and pics are very good indicators of how popular a track may be. But if you run across a track you like and you don't see a thread on it in Track Talk, start one up if ya want. You'll find there are quite a few tracks that are excellent that never got mentioned or discussed anywhere.

All tracks should have
reviews and pictures.

Lol.... My 8x8 WARDOGG MISSILE CONVEYOR truck has held the number 2 spot at Vales for years (1138 D/L's), but it never could knock that dang Goldberg by Charlie Wagner off the #1 throne (1702 D/L's to date)...

Download counts shouldnt really matter. What SHOULD matter is making and uploading a fun quality track for others to enjoy. I'm all about giving members of the mtm2 community an awesome track, that isnt boring or dull to play on. Anytime I make a track, I think of all the members in the mtm2 community, and what they'd like to see, and I make it for them. I just get to enjoy it too.

K, phineus, I just like seeing if the track is popular and how many people downlaoded it, but your right the reviews are better!

Impatient lil thing ain't ya Grim?

The tracks here that deserve a pic, have one. It's gonna be a long time before you'll see a pic for them all, not enough man power, we all have lives outside the game.

I just download them, if they suck, delete it, easy. It's not like there is a limit to what you can download here, just go nuts and keep what you like.

All trucks have pics, cuz that's just the way the truck makers are, but taking a good shot of a whole track is kinda hard, so just take a chance. I download dozens on the weekends, and found some really great tracks out of it all.

Cale's Rome wherver you want to don't have a picture, and how come most tracks don't have reviews, the last review was Nostaglia by Hawk the reviews are falling behind it's been Nostagia a long time now.
