no, we DEMAND the 240sx.org page be fixed. you seem to be keen on updating ads but because everything else is left neglected, about 10% of the page is actually useful to anyone.

I'm a bit confused. Everything appears to be working on 240sx.org. If you want to email specific problems with the site, I can follow up with it.bud

pay attention to the main links relating to the 240sx community at the top; a 404 indicates eaither a bad link or a misconfigured page.

So why are you publicly whining, instead of just emailing one of the Admin/s mods/ webmasters?

Nearly all of us have our NICO email function enabled.And the tone of your post, makes you sound like you enjoy the whining more than the fixing.

Fred..:confused:

PS: What's with all the anti NICO links in your sig, not exactly netiquette, when I am on FA, I dont even link to NICO in my sig or even posts , cuz 1) I would get banned or at least edited and 2) I like to think I have too much class to be so blatant.

Hmmm,

I went and checked your previous posts, I guess your not a troll after all.

or maybe this illustrates the need for a website problems/suggestions forum.

Excuse the PO'ed tone of my previous post please, still that sig is pretty negative.:rolleyes:

I like the attention.

No, but the lack of any real work to the home of 240sx.org gives me the impression you dislike the latter as well.

I'll be happy to help with fixing up the front page with working links and quality information. But again, seeing that site get dumped for several months and the active admin staff that is here on nico leads me to think nobody cares.

1) I dont dislike it, but we have been doing a LOT of work on stuff much of it is not easily evident; which is why I am kinda on edge , cuz I put in 15 hours again this week into NICO, long distance phonecalls at my expense etc etc and we are all unpaid volunteers here.So what I am saying is, teh 240sx.org page gotten a bit overlooked since we were working on server switch and other stuff.As for the 240SX.org classifieds section, when (and if) we decide to divide the extremly successful NICO buy/Sell/Trade section into 240sx and "others" then that will be 240SX BST/calssified2)Be careful what you wish for. Maybe I'll have our FAQ guy email you and put you to work?3)I dont understand what that sentence means.

I don't go over to 240sx.org much. I think I have the faq page saved in my favorites though.

Thats pretty ignorant of you to say in all fairness... we all have full time jobs and lives, some of us have kids (Chet has 42 illegitament children ;) ) so it's not exactly like we can just apply every waking moment into NICO. Some of us may want to but we just don't have the time.

NICO isn't some sort of pay service... it's a luxury that we've all helped to build. Stuff gets fixed, put up, moderated, etc. when we have the time to do it.

Offer to help, don't just whine... it'll get things done much faster.

Some if it works, thaks to 12 of my kids.

the forums link, FAQ, and the 240s over atlanta links work fine for me. We do not recieve compensation for our moderating/writing articles(all those suspension stickies didn't write and compile themselves) so demanding things of us makes us a bit mad, becuase to be honest...the only people who can demand I do anything are ones who write me paychecks.

anyways, Im sure we'll get the other 3 links working for you soon.

also, i really only have 1 kid, and I spend all my money on it. that would be my car...

you relaise raising a kid to 21 with college runs over 250k? forget that, Im buying a ferrari 360modena!-chet

Yep, I was a little put-off by the tone of this post as well.

When you put in hours and hours of your life into maintaining the site AND spend your hard-earned money promoting NICO, then you can "demand" things.

I'm not sure what you are implying by your "ads" comment, but I hope you're not jumping on the anti-establishment bandwagon... If you knew what this place cost to run you'd clam up and be happy for what you've got.

Perhaps you've forgotten who saved 240sx.org from going under completely?

Just so you know, there are a lot of improvements being implemented - Our sincerest apologies if they're not happening fast enough for your liking. :rolleyes

ohh! quick nazi-edit maneuver on my sig. there

you should've simply deleted this thread instead of appoligizing to build up your bold intarweb profile.

^ was that a baning offense ? - disagreeing with a moderator.

all I asked for was a quick edit to the 240sx links so that it does not apper to be an abandoned, defaced portal to generate ad impressions.

in closing, I'd rather not go off on 5 differnt tangents (yes! we all work hard and suffer loss of lesure time, too!) so, i will leave this thread with words from a trusted frend of mine...they might be cliched to infinity^3 but think they apply nicely:

'I can't see s*** captain'

and your attempt to impress the ladies has failed.

max - No need to impress the ladies - I'm held in pretty high regard despite my foul demeanor (and questionable looks).

However, your English and Spelling teachers must be terribly pleased with their progeny...

Sometimes it's not the request but rather the manner in which it is phrased.

Just to avoid any further name calling, I'll leave this thread open and alive. I don't know if I can take being called a Nazi again...:(

:D

Max - I retract my previous nastiness.

After all, who could stay angry at this guy?



We'll get to work on your request. Have a nice night - No hard feelings.
