Just a few housekeeping issues to cover while I have a moment...

Several members have incomplete profiles. This information is VERY important. Not only will it help the Administration plan for future NICO events, but it also helps others when you ask a technical question, and allows for others who may be in your area to offer assistance - and after all, that's what NICO is all about. Please take a moment and update / fill out your profile.

Also, if you'll all notice, NICO has grown exponentially over the past few months. We recently surpassed 8,500 members, and are projecting approximately 12,000 by 2004. This growth is great and brings more expertise and resources to the NICO family. If you enjoy what you see here, please share it with others. It's as simple as leaving a little note with the web address on the Nissan or Infiniti next to you in the parking lot. That car you "tag" might be owned by someone struggling with a technical question or needing an expensive repair that we can help them save money on.

Finally, I just want to publicly thank all the Moderators who volunteer their time performing maintenance on the forums, keeping the riff-raff to a minimum, and helping members with their questions. Thanks also to the regular members who pitch in their technical expertise and advice - You are a valuable resource, without which NICO wouldn't exist.

I'm proud to be an Administrator on the best damn car site on the Net. :ylsuper

I try, I tag a few cars here and there. I have yet to see anyone of them come on though. Maybe we should write "FREE SITE" on the notes;).

When I pass out NICO business cards, I explain to people that it is a free site run by enthusists. This keeps people from thinking that you are selling something or hasseling them for money.

Dude, what do you think about giving the rest of us access to that flyer? Have an admin post it up and have us be able to download and print it. I don't know the technicals of that, but that would be great if you were down with the idea.

what if we put a sticker that says NICO but a different look, like if we made our own logo that in some opinions looks better?

No can do - It's copyrighted, and the owner wants us to maintain uniformity for the logo.

Rex Birkmeier aka "Speeddoctor".

Dont let the ads fool you: he still pays a lot of money out of his pocket every month to keep the site up and running.

An "official" NICO flyer would be an awesome download. It could be posted in PDF format to keep it as cross-platform as possible AND prevent unauthorized modifications to it.

I'd definitely print out a few and keep 'em in my car. I know of a handful of 240SX in my town, not to mention a ton of other Nissans and Infinitis.

actually. i've reserved my advertisements for this site and the 240sx.org site to my autocross helmet. i figure that's where some true enthusiasts lie. and although it would be nice for people with tech problems to find this site, it's still up to them though. i took my 240sx.org stickers off mostly to deter ricey s13 owners in my area from finding out. but hey, that's me.

If you're interested, I *might* know someone who can help out with that. My downstairs neighbor is a graphic artist by trade, and does really good work. I may be able to convince her to do a quick flyer pro bono since NICO is a labor of love, and not a for-profit website.

I'd need the appropriate logo's in digital format, the text of the flyer and any other design requirements.

Of course, she might just say "no".

BM - That'd be GREAT!

I have some text and the logo (both approved), and she could go crazy with it.

Then we could load it on the site so folks could print it out...

Email me off-board and we can discuss. :D

Hitman, with my photoshop/pagemaker/acrobat expertise, you want me to take over that project? I'll have it done by Friday. :)

Edit: whoops, I saw BM's gonna do it. That's awesome. If it falls through though let me know.
