Hey my new site is up. It's got all the results since 1950 and many from before that too. All the FIA transcripted conferences from the last race and links to driver and team sites. A live news service and an online shop. And (hopefully) soon this forum.
Go visit and tell me what you think. Please!
The address is http://www.actsofgod.f2s.com

What Do I think of your webpage is that it is 100% copy of 5 well prepared and researched pages on the internet by people who have sent days and years doing research out there good to give a the world data on the past, Not to be copied and clamed as someone elses work.
The pages that I am making note of is as follows:
http://www.formula1results.com
http://8w.forix.com
http://www.erinet.com/dclayton/formel1.html
http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/
and
http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/main.htm
So My rating is 0/10 :(

I have removed my site because of the above complaint. This was done as not to cause any more offence. I suggest visiting the sites listed above by Quintin.

Quintin : thanks for having behaved as you have.
Jordanman : removal of the site was the right thing to do. You might even consider apologizing as I think that you almost managed to upset everybody, specially the ones that, as my colleagues, were spending their time and resources making all those informations available at the net for the last six or seven years. To be absolutely honest with you, whilst I was maintaining that all those infos should be free and easily available for the next generations to have at hand, I never thought at the time that a member of that "next generation" would be capable of simply stealing those and pretend the work was his. Tolerant as I am -or pretend to be- I have three suggestions for you :
a) Please appear and apologize
b) Be so kind as to thank everyone involved -although involuntarily- in your attempted site
c) Change your nick, and start a new life on the net with a new nick.
As you see, the consequences of your extremely curious (to be nice) behaviour are pretty minor. You´ve only disappointed an old man, stole the work of one of us that is no longer around, upset a group of people insulting their inteligence (when you should be taking notes) and made a fool of yourself.
As all this is virtual, you see, you now have a second chance. Don´t spoil it, young man.

I did apologise and thank by e-mail to those who contacted me. And I'll apologise publicly here too. I hope you all accept my apology for not giving due credit and for any insult/injury caused by my actions.
And as suggested I'd like to publicly thank all those who provide such a great resource on the internet.
