Elvas Towers drives me nuts!!!

[shadowmane]

You go there to download something and it tells you you need to register to download. You try to register to download, it tells you they are not accepting registrations. Its enough to drive you nuts!!!

Are any of their OR content (like the GS-2) present on Train-Sim, or am I just one of the unlucky schmucks who can't touch their content?

Take it up to Elvas Tower... dont bring your problems/complaints here.... Its a different group...

Case closed...

I wish I could take it to Elvas Towers. Unfortunately, I can't (see OP).

The automatic registration was shut down on account of one disgruntled (piracy-encouraging) ex-member trying to get the site shut down. To join right now one must email an admin directly and follow their instructions. For downloading files one must reach certain post quotas but if you jump right into the conversation those aren't difficult to fill.

In addition, you can make a donation of a certain amount (I forget what exactly it is right now) and get something like "First Class Member" status here, which allows you earlier and more extensive download access than if you just doggedly post things (and they have little tolerance for meaningless or "me too" posts or trolling). As Fleegle points out, you have to take some extra steps to get registered - it's not automatic.

They also require their members to have patience , reasonably good manners and any person prone to a short temper or lack of respect for others simply won't last too long at Elvas Tower . Justice can be very swift and final over there .

And if the OP's posting is like he has done here (8 posts in 6+years) his downloading at ET will be slow.

Since there's nothing new here vs. the other dozen or so threads discussing ET's membership policy, conversation closed...
