GTA Banner Exchange
                  Kivlov (Kivlov's GTA Bomb Shop) is starting a GTA banner exchange but he needs a number of sites to join before he can implement it.  Check out
                  Kivlov's site for more details.  Here is the announcement he sent me:
I have founded the GTA Banner Exchange. It's a simple Banner Exchange for all GTA Sites. Well, it's not as comfortable as other  Exchanges but I think it's easier to use. Everyone that joins the Exchange will receive a source code on June the first. This code must be
added to the HTML Code of your starting page. Webmaster, who want to join after that date must wait a month until the code will be
updated again. To start this Exchange I need 30 (!) GTA site with 400*40 or 400*60 Banners in order to start the Exchange.

 GTA Map Loader
                  Dave from Criminal Software wrote in and let me know that his modem problem will be fixed shortly, however, while his modem was waiting to get
                  fixed/replaced, his monitor blew up.  Talk about bad luck.  Anyway, Dave also sent along a short update on The GTA Map Loader and the other
                  projects at Criminal Software:

                       1.3 is now on build 1500.
                       It has a new GTA filechecker - this tells you if the files you have installed are different from the original DMA files (byte comparison)
                       It has fully operational backup features,
                       It has a new options screen (*)
                       It has had a facelift as I have the Common Controls 6.0 in my possession!.

                       (*) Severe HDD failure does these things to you, A kind of bang, and
                       an agonising screech did make me think twice about compiling...!

                       And - the long term outlook:

                       --------------------------------------------------------------
                       ALL PROJECTS HAVE BEEN SCRAPPED EXCEPT FOR THE GTA MAP LOADER.
                       --------------------------------------------------------------

                       Sad but true...

                       Anyway, this is the current state of things, and 1.3 (whilst being the
                       devil's own spawn to compile) is looking to be almost finished.

                       BTW, if mouse is reading this thing - believe me, I know what you're
                       going through (about the modem, et al)

                  New GTA Sites

                       House of GTA

                  Other Site Updates & Announcements

                       InSaNe Gta PaGe
                       The InSaNe Gta PaGe is being updated daily.  I'm putting new cars on the page every day, so if you think that the cars on your game are
                       looking boring, go there and you'll find about 40 new different cars and about 18 cars with their deltas, you can also get different deltas for
                       the Taxi and for the F-40. And on Saturday, I'll put a Tomb Raider's Bus.

                       GTA World
                       The little-known GTA multiplayer league on my site (the GTA world), is now being run by one of my friends, COLLY.  Its going to be really
                       good, with Colly working all the fixtures out, and there will be competitions where you could be the champion of the U.K and so-on!  So get
                       over to my site at: http://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/mjmason/mjmason/htm/ and sign up to the league!

                       GTA X-Treme
                       GTA X-Treme has moved to http://www.gibbed.com/gtax/, just wanted to let ya know.  On our 2000th hit, I re-did the entire page, check it
                       out! Also, if anybody has any maps, cars, or files, ill put them on my page with credit.

                       Demolition GTA Derby
                       Mr. Mayfield has finished the first demolition derby map (and working on a second already).  It's quite unique and looks great play on
                       multiplayer.  I'll have pictures of the map in a few days.  There's only one problem that we have encountered which is delaying the release.
                       There seems to be a problem when the map is played in multiplayer.  I've seen a few people already trying to find a solution by using the
                       Boardzilla and the GTA newsgroup, and I say thanks to them,  but I have not seen a fix for this yet.

                       The problem is that the person who gathers the game ends up controlling both himself and his/her opponent.  The problem seems to be is
                       that there is no 2nd player at all.  Like, what appears on the screen of the person who gathered the game also appears exactly the same
                       on the opponent's screen.  So it ends up one person watching the other player drive and walk around while he sits
                       there unable to do anything.  Each player does have separate colors (green and yellow) but that seems to be the only thing that is different
                       on each computer screen.  I need your help.  Please take a look at my site where I have supplied a page of information you might need.  I
                       have the UNFINISHED (DO NOT USE) mission.ini file available as a download and also have the text of it on
                       a page.  Thanks in advance for all the help.

                  Help Wanted

                       Good Detailed Cars Wanted
                       Help me, please! I need cars for San Andreas and Vice City, I'm talking a full make over for both. If anybody with nice detailed cars
                       could send me some that'll kick ass. I'll be gone for two weeks but when I get back I'll do what I can to finish it. I have a finished
                       Liberty City make over that is currently involved in a project by ShuViT. I'll send it in to the Gouranga files section, hoping it'll be
                       accepted.  Well send me some at this address and credit will be paid where due.

                  Site Updates
                  schu's Tip of the Day:  Take a break and watch a GTA demo.  Load up GTA in DOS and do absolutely nothing.  After a short while (2 mins) a GTA
                  demo will kick in.  I tried it in Windows and it didn't work so I'm guessing that its a DOS only thing.  Additionally you have to have the original map
                  files loaded for it to run properly.
