Nope, you're seeing quite clearly. Didn't this just start today? I think the site has taken on a definite slate blue cast........ |

There was 30 minutes tonight when I couldn't get into the site - kept coming up blank. Yes, it bugged me and I had to find something else to do. :rolleyes:
Looks like a new upload...maybe with some new sponorship? |

| I had the same problem earlier tonight -- couldn't get on the site. I don't mind the ads, but sometimes, there are THREE ads for OwnerLink!!! Why? Why not one for OwnerLink, one for Hondacuraworld, and one for something else (like Joe's Barber and Escort Service)??? And the ad on the right side of the page takes up a lot of space for posts that are further down the same page... |

I was gonna post this earlier, but forgot, so here it goes.
Yes, you are seeing right. There are 3 ads on the thread pages, and 2 on all the other pages. This is my plea to everyone to bare with the ads for just two months. Honda wants to step up on their advertising until end of May. In return, it will ensure the existance of this site for quite a while ;)
I was working on placing these ads, that's why the site was down for a bit. I appologize.
your admin. |

Hey Admin, personally, I honestly don't mind these ads. Whatever will take to get this site going strong. Ever thought of taking banner ads from those nudie sites? :2: j/k. |

| kemosabe |
admin: Okay, thanks for the update!!! Anything to keep this site funded and running!!!!!!! :4: :17:
RipRocK: Don't tempt me with those nudie ads... as tim.s would say, ".....MUST RESIST........URGE......TO POST NUDIE.........ADS.........AAAARRRGGHHHHH" :D |

Would it help any if we all "click" the ad banners once in a while to give you (and this forum) some "linked from honda-pilot.org" hits at the banner owner's website? |

I'm with you, florida_guy--whatever it takes to keep the site healthy and functioning is fine by me!!! |

| Cool!!! Looks like we have three more sponsors for the honda-pilot.org site!!! :7: |
|
|
| kemosabe |
| Actually, I meant to say, we have FOUR more sponsors -- I left out this one: :29: |
|
|
| kemosabe |
| ...and it looks like Tim @ hondacuraworld has a new design for his advertising / sponsor logo here, too!!! :26: |
|
|

Good to see additional sponsors!!!
[Hey, maybe with the additional support, the Moderators (and others putting in volunteered time) could get a little freebie or something thrown their way occasionally?]
Just kidding. |

Okay, I understand the Acura MDX site, but hey, when did the Nissan Murano become our "sister" site...??? :8:
Is this the ugly step-sister that didn't get an invitation to the ball??? ;) |
|
|
| admin |
| I didn't say that it was a sister SUV :) . And although these SUVs are not related, the sites are! |

...and the Nissan Murano site is just starting out, too, judging by the max number of posts, e.g., the top posters: |

| ...and here we are being advertised on the Nissan Murano site!!! :p |

Yeah, we're more likely to see Holiday Inn Extended Stay in Greater Toledo advertised....... |
|
|
| admin |
Well, the first three ads are purely my good will. Fairmont - currently my client, Kodiak - my dad's business, Toronto - my city.
Bayroc is a paying advertiser, they only want to advertise on the mdx site for now.

| So, is the amazon.com ad a real sponsor's ad? :confused: |
|
|
| admin |
| Amazon is "get paid when someone buys" type of ad. |

When I clicked on the Amazon advertisement, it took me to this URL:
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html/103-0681586-0329433
I'm assuming that the numbers 103-0681586-0329433 somehow indicate to Amazon that the user came from honda-pilot.org and if that user purchased something, then this site would receive some $$$ in return??? |
|

| admin |
| That is correct. Come on, you know you can't resist amazon's prices! I know I can't :rolleyes: :o |

Actually, my wife buys a few things from time to time from Amazon -- I'll have to remind her to go through honda-pilot.org first so that this site can get support from Amazon... :) |

| For you geeks out there, if you don't mind reading e-books, for the best price, check out alt.binaries.e-book.technical :2: It's been a while since I read a geek book in print form. It took a little getting used to at first, but for the money (wink, wink) it's the best. Someone just posted a whole bunch of Helms Manuals for various Honda cars in PDF a few days ago, so, the books that gets posted there aren't confined to just IT related stuff. Unfortunately, one for the Pilot wasn't posted, but I did "REQ", so I'm waiting.... |
