There will be a webmaster email addy...

No ads at vwvortex

Well there are a few on the front page...

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

They're also in VW's back pocket.

We, on the other hand, have no such luxuries.

Ads are a necessary function, and are (believe it or not) part of the attraction. Especially considering some of the deals we get from these guys.

Very true... I am all the time browsing the company ads to find things....and checking the advertiser deals forum.....Mav

I've never understood why so much distaste for ads. When i need to find out how much something is, the links are there, when it's time to buy, the links are there. done deal. it took me less than a minute to find the safc2 on phase2's site, and less than 2 mins to buy it. It'll be here Wed. Doesn't get better than that.

Well of course... ad revenue is what makes the web go

Just depends on how they are implemented.

I decided they were so bothersome, I had to spent an hour or so figuring out how to get rid of them, if they were easy to deal with, and not taking up 1/3 of the screen then I wouldn't really care.

I don't mind having 'em over there at all. In fact, it *is* quite handy. When I want to order something, I just click on the appropriate ad to the left. Considering the frequency with which I order parts for my poor ailing 240SX, every little bit of time saved is worth it.

my only big issue with the ads is that if my cache dumps itself i have to reload all the ads. on dial up, that takes a good 5 minutes depending on how crappy my transfer rate is

Post by **Hijacker** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

one thing i like that VW Vortex did, and it was one of my most favorite features on EvoM until they moved to the new VBB, was the status saying "Online" and "offline" right under the avi. I find that so much more helpful than trying to find a picture that represents online or offline.

Post by **w1ngzer0** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

i agree with the ads. They are handy and not only that i rather see nissan or car ads then gay random computer or perfum ads like some of the other websites

Post by **jdmfreak** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

Damn how'd I miss this? Bad*** nontheless. Oh and it'll be the ultimate **** if Nissan themselves sponsored us.

Goo thing Im working 3:30-9PM tomorrow. If I wasnt, I wouldnt even know what to do with myself.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

240sx.org will prevail... someday

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

240sx.org already has. There's no real competition.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

30 minutes 'til shutdown.

Houston, we'll see you on the other side.

Godspeed.

Post by **maxpower** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

these pseudo-pop antics of yours are corny. 240sx.org is dead. what we have here are breeding grounds for profit seekers and ... kids.

gl with the move

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 8:59 am

240sx.org is here - alive and well.

Don't make me post up your picture again, max.
