Lovely put, Thomkok23! Personally, I would love this forum to 'relaunch'. Crystal clear rules & morals. Safeguarding. Whilst many AFOLs love LEGO, so do kids - who need safeguarding. Moderate moderation is needed. I dislike people not being able to post new threads or on existing threads. Stuff like that sees a forum's community die and relocate elsewhere. A - Yes, those actions are absolutely wrong. I don't understand why action wasn't taken. Defiantly an important lesson. If RRU was to 'relaunch', safeguarding from moderators should be a priority! B - I accept people have moved on. I dislike the current state. Whilst I understand currently everything is being 'preserved', a forum should allow users to create threads, post replies on threads, etc. I've enjoyed many threads and gallery photos on here. It was interesting to see a user had recreated all the vehicles from the Lego Racers 2 videogame, for instance. I've somewhat struggled to find LEGO fan sites I enjoy. I've used EuroBricks, but 'specific things' on here made it stand out for me. The 'bad past event' only came to light for me from this 'Moving Forward' thread - I had no idea about it beforehand. If safeguarding and proper moderation could be achieved, I would like to see a relaunch of RRU. A fresh start, proper moderation, proper safeguarding, proper rules. I doubt it would ever affect a fan forum, such as this, but the UK has seen it's age verification law(s) kick into affect. OneID® has been used as a digital ID and age verifier, for instance. Specific websites cannot be accessed without logging in - safeguarding children.

I understand where you're coming from, and I agree with you on one key point: no one should minimize the severity of what happened. That situation was absolutely a breach of trust, and the people affected by it deserved better from the moderation at the time. That said, I want to push back on a few things: A community doesn't cease to exist just because some of its veterans have moved on. Communities evolve. People leave, new ones arrive, and the culture shifts over time. That’s not unique to RRU — that’s just how communities work. Just because the current group isn’t made up of the same people as before doesn’t make it any less valid. I always notice the amount of guest accounts and it seems still very high to me. Veteran presence is not a requirement for legitimacy. It’s okay for people to outgrow a space. But it’s equally okay for others — even if they’re “post-forum-archive newbies” — to reclaim that space, rebuild it, and make something new of it. The forum may not be what it was back in the older days, but that doesn't make the current people still wanting to post any less of a community. People are allowed to want to fix or preserve something they cared about. Maybe RRU as it once was is gone — that doesn’t mean people can’t try to shape it into something better. That could mean rebuilding it with lessons learned, including stronger safeguards and a new tone. That effort doesn’t deserve scorn. RRU isn’t just about the past — it’s about possibility. For some, this place was meaningful, creatively inspiring, or a source of belonging. Those feelings can still exist, even if the original group fractured. If some people still want to share builds, mods, or memories here, they’re not clinging to a ghost — they’re creating something of their own. It’s okay that you and others have moved on. No one is asking you for everyone to come back. But let’s not act like the presence of existing and/or new people, people trying to do something positive to this forum is somehow invalid or misguided. We just want to keep posting on this forum and have proper moderation as it should have been.

A. More specifically: The "bad past event" was an Admin refusing to take action against a repeat offender whose presence on the site endangered underage members (ya know, the kind of young audience that a forum about LEGO would naturally attract). We trusted our moderation team to keep RRU a safe space for everyone, only for the highest ranking member of the moderation team to break that trust. B. WE have moved on... RRU as a community was dying before the child predator protection stuff came to light, all it really did was give us a reason to finally leave. And... in my personal opinion, it's the best thing that could've happened to this community. It helped us split away from the ex-members we disliked while reconnecting with those we found comfort in. I can't speak for all the friend groups or sub-communities that split off from RRU, but nowadays when I talk to my ex-RRU friends they feel refreshed... they're comfortable, empathetic and full of energy. When RRU is brought up, it's either the butt of a joke, or treated like a collective trauma we all went through. I do not understand why y'all are acting like there's still a "community". We've moved on. Getting the forums running again won't magically bring us back, y'all post-forum-archive newbies are the only "community" that's left. Yes, some of us miss being part of a forum community, but few of us miss Rock Raiders United.

Probably the only thing I can come up with is contacting Mask of Destiny to open up the forum again, since they are hosting this website now. Vahkiti is supposed to be an admin of this forum and is not responding in his own post. ShadowDraikana is not going to do something about it (ShadowDraikana does not have home internet). Maybe Vahkiti is more open minded.

Alright, I understand the past of the site hasn't been nice, but that doesn't mean we should just leave it be as is. I think someone already said it here but just leaving the site to rot like a corpse of the past, because currently that's about all that it is, just isn't something we should be doing and is lazy. I wasn't even an active member of the community nor did I really contribute anything at all, and it HURTS to see the site and community like this, knowing that even as far back as just around 2021 and 2022, there was still life there. Let's not leave this community in this state and try to get it back. Even if it were to be new users, what would it hurt? This site was an important piece of history for over a decade as far as I'm aware for many and the current decisions taken aren't doing it any justice. That's my piece, hope anybody from higher up like actual moderation or even administration sees this.

Hi guys, hoping someone can help me out here. I've recently returned to playing LR2 for the first time in about 18 years for the nostalgia. I've always wanted to play as Riegel's Mech & Berg and have seen videos on YouTube, but no tutorials. I've been reading through most of the topics and comments on this forum, trying to figure out how, with no luck. I've seen 2 other topics relating to playing as Riegel's Mech or Berg and both seem to be directed towards the 'LEGO Racers 2 Cheat Engine Hacks' topic posted by kajeuter (Home > LEGO Video Games > Game Discussion > LEGO Racers 2 Cheat Engine Hacks). On this topic I've seen a lot of comments about broken links etc and tried downloading the most recent link posted 17th November 2015 by Mysteli who I believe is Xir / Xiron from what I've gathered from other forum posts. I unpacked the download and got 'LR2 Ingame Cheats Changer' & 'LR2 Bonus Game Challenger' but no readme.txt and from running each application, I can't see anything relating to playing as Riegel's Mech or Berg. I'm not sure if these two applications by Xiron are even what I'm looking for to make this possible, or whether it's another cheat engine by kajeuter I'm looking for. I've seen a few other comments about changing values / pointers in the CE file but have no idea how or what any of it means. Hoping someone can direct me to a correct link with a readme.txt or tutorial on how to do this. I can't find a clear answer online anywhere which is why I've come here to ask the forum and feel like some input or step-by-step from people who have done this before could really help me and others looking to do the same thing. Thanks!

Hi, the file you are looking for is the reuploaded kajeuter's cheat table, Here is the cheat table in side-by-side with the read-me (I don't have the game currently installed so the values are ?? for me) Also Xir is superseded by my current name.

Hello Everyone, Most of the default cars from Lego Racers 2 do already exsist real life. These cars are taken from existing sets. I made a list for Sandy Bay, Dino Island and Arctic with all of the cars that are actually taken from existing sets. Since most of the cars do not have a name, I'll refer to the characters that drive the car in LR2. Sandy Bay Cars: Dino Island Cars: Arctic Cars: As for the Mars Cars, these cars are nowhere to be found in the Life on Mars set. However, using Lego Digital Designer, I managed to build all of the cars (Except sparky's one).I would like to share them with you and I want to actually build them in real lego as well. I will put up a list of items you need and some instructions later. Most of the car pieces can be found in the Life on Mars set itself.Cassaopia's Car: Pippin's Car: Cunningham's spacecraft: Baron Rosso's spacecraft: Frankie Solido's spacecraft: Mac's Car: Johnney Thunder's Car: So, what do you think? It suprised me that most of the cars do actually exsist. Kaj

A Big Bump after almost a year. I have just ordered all the pieces for the Arctic cars. I need Around 100 parts, which will be here somewhere next week. Meanwhile, I've finally collected all of the rama's. Not only the ones in LR2, but also the others. Here are the pictures:

A little bump here - just finished Mr. Cunningham's hovercraft with more accurate colors.

Nice one Ostoya. I finally completed building all of the Sandy Bay cars in Lego Digital Designer too. I now know which parts I need. I want to build all of the mars and sandy bay cars in real lego. it will cost a bit of money but its worth it

I've recreated Postman Mike's car some time ago: I just need to apply decals.

Great topic! A couple of the Dino Island cars are actually alternate builds. Mac's is obviously rebuilt from Cunningham's vehicle, and I think Rosso's was shown somewhere in 5987. I think they were on the back of boxes, but they could be in the instructions. EDIT:

It sucks that box started doing this, I haven't known anyone with that problem and then suddenly everyone has it. I only got the answer it was bandwidth because I asked customer support about it. Anyhow: http://www.mediafire.com/download/14by65gca6uw636/Xir's_LR2_Trainers.zip
