NICO Lying - reply to AZhitman
My only comment on this whole thread is that a LOT of members acted in a very immature manner on this thread. I will not go into names, btu many of you got way too worked up over this guy. As you probably noticed, the admins on this site have had no trouble maintaining the integrity of this site, nor have they had any difficulties in demonstrating to existing and potential sponsors the benefits of sponsorship and ad space.
For many of you to post on here with personal attacks was just not the best thing for NICO. All of the posts of the numbers regarding hits and users were readily available, and were posted by the proper authorities. Noone else really needed to chime in with the personal insults. It is one thing to correct someone who is clearly posting BS that is derogatory, but it is an entirely different thing to lower yourselves- and this forum- through name-calling.
I wholeheartedly support NICO and its efforts (and I plan to make a financial contribution in the very near future), but I have noticed that several users in this thread just bandwagoned onto the criticism of our detractor. Believe me- I thought that he was an idiot. But many of you showed that you were not much better- at least not in this thread. Some of you were so unbelievable disrespectful to the good name of THIS FORUM that I was almost embarassed to have read your posts. If I was a new user, I might have thought twice abotu sticking around.
I will close by saying that I have had my share of E-rguments on other internet forums, but unless the person had come at me first (and it has happened), I have always done my best to not resort to shameful tactics like name-calling and/or personal insults. What comes to mind when I see stupid internet mudslinging, is an adaptation of the scene in Office Space where the "consultants" implore all of the employees to ask themselves "Is this Good for the Company?" before doing or saying something. Several times in other forums, I have seen the screenshot posted there the banner was changed to read "Is this Good for the Forum?" I woudl respectfully request that before launching into a tyrade with/at NICO's next "detractor" that you ask yourself if the specifics of what you say will benefit or detract from the good name and reputation of this forum.
Sorry for the rant.

Yeah, my pockets are starting to get lighter too.
Anyway, on a related note, I always make it a point to tell an advertiser that I saw their ad on NICO if I order over the phone instead of just doing a web transaction. I also don't mind spending a few extra bucks if necessary to order from a sponsor instead of a slightly cheaper non-sponsor (Ebay, etc.) for two reasons: a) I like supporting the people who help pay NICO's bills AND b) NICO sponsers have always done right by me, and I would rather do business with someone I like and trust than a complete stranger.

OK Let me explain this to you since you obviously dont watch one of the best/funniest TV shows ever.
In a flashback, Quagmire(Neighborhood perv/petifile) was on a Navy ship in his room talking to Peter Griffin(Main character/ultimate dumb ***/dumber than Homer Simpson) about Peter's relationship problems with his girlfriend(Now his wife), Lois. At the same time, Quagmire was shaving his puebs. He turned around and said, "Peter. Does this look like a Q to you?" And peter replied, "No." So he turned his hip a lil bit and said, "How bout now?"
Explaining it out sure takes all the humor out of it. YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS SHOW!!! I cant stress this enough. Seth McFarlane is a genious. If you're gonna watch it, Family Guy comes on at 11PM eastern and 2AM eastern on Cartoon Network.
