Dunno, I managed to join and enter times okay before, but my times are all gone and I can't login. Unless it became invite-only again, causing my account to disappear.

The chat seems to get really laggy for people whenever somebody else accesses the records or a user profile. Like it will take 30 seconds for a message to pop up, then it keeps repeating old messages like 4 or 5 times. Connavar might need to take a look at this.

The old site (including chat) is up and running again... for now. Thought it'd let you guys now. http://wipeout.servemp3.com/wipeout/index.php?x=1

it has been working at www.wipeoutrankings.com for nearly 2 weeks, as connavar posted, and that has a lot of times updated onto it.

I have a feeling the old site isn't linked at all, so only one should be used - and as laggy as it is, I think wipeoutrankings.com is the only one Conn can do anything about for the time being.

Seen the site many times,but it never worked for me...I don't know why,but it says i have a connection problem when i access the site,when my internet is up and running...

I just started looking through the site and I want to thank everyone who spent time working on this. The site is very easy to navigate and find specific tracks, and it's cool to see people talking about each track. This community is impressing me more and more; cheers, guys. :D

Thanks again for the site (still using it!) especially useful since Sony servers do not seem to be all that.

OK the site is rather slow obviously, how can we help? Donating via paypal I guess?

EDIT-18January-00:20am:
OK so just to let you know, the wipeoutrankings site has a hard time loading the tables (the site layout comes up fine most of the time) as of today, and goes on a timeout most of the time. If you can get to the table, you can add times no problem, they will be recorded even tough the tables would not load on you once you sent them. For some reason, the Matrix loads more easily and consistently.
Maybe you are already aware of that, but I say all this just in case it might help Connavar & al.

Hypothetical question here, do you need photo evidence of your times? I have been wanting to put up a few for a while, but I'm scared that no-one would believe them.... :)

For "hard to believe" times, videos are more appreciated than photos, since HD is full of glitches !

Ah... I have already done them you see, they aren't exactly top 10, but not far off....

Then, why wouldn't we believe in them ? ;)

Well I've uploaded a few, any of them you dispute, let me know, I'll send my psn add to Azurooth and SOA.

only one way to legitimize a chrono , that is to make a video about your sl or tt ... especially useful when you're doing a top 5 ...
As your newcomer status , a vid about your chrono would be welcome ... To build your reputation as a driver from the community

Hey man, really don't want to sound arrogant but I'm no newcomer, maybe on here, but when the boards were actually up I played as Sputnik303. Just only got back into the game when Sony gave it out for free. I bought the game on disk, day of release, and I'm in Team Titan with Booney and Azurooth. I don't know if you have heard of Rathboneski, but I'm good personal friend with him too. I'm also friends with Jan and Pirahpac on psn. I understand that making a video would help you guys, but I don't have the capability.... all I can do is give my psn out so someone can check my ghost. Sorry about that.... What is your psn... maybe we have raced? :)

newcomer in connavar's site , you are luke ( with zantetsuken's id )
and i'm not your father ... and check online sl and tt ranking in the game if u want have my psn ID ... it shouldn't take long time to find my ID psn ( espacially in phantom class )

:guitar

luke? who is luke? and I never said you were my father.... bad translating? or a star wars reference? Man you've lost me....

I'm trying to register but it keeps going back to the main page (refreshing). Anyone else had this problem? I have a couple of top10 SL times on flash that I would like to add :(

All sorted now. Great website! Man it's hard to get into top 10's though...

Glad to see the site is still running :D
About speed, it's not running on a high quality server - and also it might expire in November or something.

That would suck if it expires! I don't mind donating if it keeps the site up and running :)

Hi all


I'm just wondering if www.wipeoutrankings.com still gets updated. It's just I've been trying to beat the Modesto Heights world record (only 2 seconds out :( ) and it doesn't even show on there but it does show in game on the myself|friends|global times.
Or is there any other website that does?

(And yes, I did register to the site)

Thanks all

You need to add your own record to the site mate. I still use it regularly and take it as the main source to check times - rather than the in game records.

Oh right, never realised. I always thought they were updated automatically from an API or something somewhere. Thanks for letting me know

Hey there, love the website, just trying to get to grips with it recently...

I see some records have videos attached to them, how does one insert videos into a record?

When you add a record, there's a field titled Link (just to the left of Cancel, Delete and Edit). Simply copy and paste the URL from your Youtube vid in there.

Aaah yes I see I see, cheers!

Hello, just informing you that the site will go down any time soon, there hasn't
been much activity, and I don't want to spend more money on it, there has not
been enough donation to keep it alive (only 1 person gave, 5 euro), and the game
seems to be *DEAD* :(
It was still a good experience))

Check your Paypal now Connavar, can I change your mind? I always intended to donate, but I've had problems with my Paypal account. These are fixed now, and I can definitely make regular donations.

If you're still adamant you want to close it, consider my donation as a thank you for all your hard work.

Hi, thanks!! I just rebought it for another year, but I paid 4 days late,
so I hope it will be fine ... I'll include a ranking of the best donators
lol, but apart from that, I have no idea what to do as there is barely anyone
using this site anyway, I could have the records up-to-date, that's about it,
unless you have other ideas?

wow this website is amazing!!!

And how can someone beat zico with a 25 sec ?(lap time)

Or you could click on a video link on the site next to a top time to get the idea.

That is a ridiculous qmount of barrel rolls! :). Is that even possible on the faster speeds?

most of them not really, it takes a lot more extra speed to get the lift you need to do them especially the double, triple and quadruple ones.

Probably my favourite all time HD video, I've watched it dozens of times.

Anyway, huge thanks to Connavar for renewing the rankings website. I know it's not used as heavily as it once was, but it's an invaluable resource for the community. Much appreciated dude.

I agree. I use it at work when bored to browse times and check out videos. Some of Booneys times make me weep :)

ps. I have just donated!

I can't use the website on Firefox, don't know if anyone else has the same problem. It's working with another browser though.

I just wanna confirm that i use the latest version of Firefox and it works for me. If you don't have the latest try and update and see if that works. Other than that i have no idea.

scarfrogers: thanks.
I updated the CHAT a bit, can do more fun stuff now :)

The Rankings site is a great site, but I was wondering how accurate it is. I've got a ranking of 18 on Wipeout Rankings, but my online in-game ranking is 9th. Does that mean there are cheaters on Wipeout Rankings? Or is something else going on? If the times are achieved offline, do they need proof to go onto Wipeout Rankings?

There's no cheaters on wipeout rankings, but some records never appeared on the game's leaderboards for any reason ! :|
