Expire??? What the hell does that mean..........? That's a shame, there was a lot of valuable information there over the past 7 years that really came in handy when you needed it

[corpdecker]

Domain names, like nissanclub.com and nicoclub.com aren't bought forever, you buy them for X number of years, usually from 1 to 10 years. Once they expire, someone else can register it after the registrar releases it.

That site is owned by a company that has a large number of auto-based websites. They take a successful (tho sometimes struggling) website and buy them out. Then they change them around (nissanclub used to be altimas.net) and use their success to make money from advertisers, thus they count on the members continuing to keep the site active in order to continually charge premium ad space to others. I remember when the site was still altimas.net and it was VERY active. When it was bought out and changed to nissanclub it started going downhill to the point that it is simply a shell of what it used to be. The new owners were not there to support Altima and Nissan owners, simply there to make a buck. It showed and Altima owners dispersed away from it. Over the last few years I have watched the activity on that site go down to the point that it is beginning to stagnate.

Yes, Altimas.net was awsome..and crazy active!! I miss it.

[audtatious]

Well, hopefully we can continue to build up NICO for the Altima gang. As this forum becomes more and more busy then it will eventually be split into new sub-forums to support the Altima community.

One big thing that is different about us and nissanclub is that we are owned and run by Nissan enthusiasts. We want to see the site grow and we want to help the community.

That's just how Altimas.net was run.....I anticipate loads of fun here to be had

[5SpeedL31]

Noobie here. Did a Google search on the disappearance of NissanClub, and came across NICO. Had fun over on the other forums, but since it's gone, I guess I gotta build up my post count over here now.

[rjdmmfl1]

Guys, I anticipate we will see ALOT of newbies now that nissanclub.com is defunct...

**********NEWBIES***********

... PLEASE use the search button located at the top of the page so that you don't ask questions that have previously been answered 10 times over ... just don't want to see anyone get flamed.... also, please click on the link that says "TABLE OF CONTENTS : READ FIRST".... oh yeah, and WELCOME TO NICO!

Been around since Late 2001 when I got my 02 in October 01...........I am pretty sure I have heard all of the questions and answers10 fold

[generic808]

Welcome to NICO all you newbies! Glad to have you guys aboard!

[TheBourneAltimatum]

i hope that **** is temporary both nico and nissanclub were good with info... we had a big thread called altima mods list...and there was a lot of info there. what a shame...

a lot of negativity on that site.. its like someone disagrees with the other.. and then just puts them down, but other than that it was a great site.

Guess its time to make my sig/avatar overhere too .

didn't mean to insult anyone, but lately we've had a string of folks posting threads asking redundant qustions that they could have found using the search function!

The ZeroForums search can be a challenge at times to utilize. The FAQ above should have a "how to" to make things a bit easier to find. Else, simply ask.

There can be negativity and drama on just about any forum. Being a relatively emotionless medium, there are times when people read something they take as a slap or flame, thus things erupt. We actually frown on it here and try to keep things as civil as possible. Of course, we always have our moments

[JHC828]

Hey guys, jcalti69 from nissanclub.com here, does anyone know if the site is gonna be back up, ever, or maybe some of the good articles brought over to this site maybe?

[ankit]

I was wondering the same thing so i joined here. I'm "ankit" from nissanclub, hope everyone can keep up with that change in my screename.

[Dexion]

Hell we might as well join communities if Nissanclub is really dead. Someone should start a thread about what name you went under Nissanclub and introduce yourself.

no offense rjd, but this is a free post forum and you really aren't an admin so...

so what if something has been covered a dozen times and someone's asking again because they would like a fresher more educated opinion. looks like there will be more users on here with i'm sure different opinions and different outcomes to problems. maybe keep that in mind when directing people on how to go about things.

it starts already... lol... look dude, lately newbies have been getting flamed for posting redundant threads and asking "the same" questions that have been asked 10 times over... doesn't really matter to me one way or another, just thought I'd save folks from the flaming that's sure to come. it has happened and will happen again.. but hey, feel free to post as many redundant questions as you like! Don't be so sensitive dude, just trying to help out the newbies!

[jdshift]

Unfortunate for Nissan.club yes it is............welcome to all the refugees, J/K.You'll all enjoy NICO for sure.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Welcome to you all!

Ask as many questions as you like, eat, drink and be merry

Glad to have you all here.

[Adhesive]

That would be hilarious if there was no warning and the new owners plan on letting the domain name lapse. Oh, well...does this place have an Off Topic section somewhere among the 18,000 sub-forums?

The Gen Chat is pretty good for that. If you have a video or something to share it goes in the Multimedia forum.

[Importroller]

guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. seems when altimas.net or nissanclub went down in the past, we all came to Nicoclub or Maxima.org to post up

[rjdmmfl1]

Tyler, you're setting folks up to get flamed... and you've seen it happen, guys snapping on newbies for redundant posts. Not that it's right but it happens. I understand folks wanting different opinions, but how many NEW threads do we need with someone asking "how does the injen intake sound" ... also, as an admin I would think you would encourage folks to use the features on the forum, like "search"... I really think thesearch at the top of the screen isn't all that bad... some people are just lazy!
