Donations is what keeps this sight on-line. Bandwith= $..
Honda-tech might have sent a few $ to host the ad it here.

i would like to see this site have enough money around to do promos and help out with groupbuys... maybe even provide a for-profit escrow type service to make some extra bucks for the site... i'm sure a few of us might be willing to do this for 3geez... provide the service, donate a portion of the profit, and then collect a few bucks a transaction...

anyways off of my rambling... it would be cool to have a prize for AOM, contests, maybe even discounted appearal... i'm sure that if i ran the site with profit in mind, i could make a seamless transition from a non-profit site to a profitable site and nobody would really complain, other than the purists and possibly some of the older crotchity members that we may or may not have around here... it would be nice to have a few thousand in the 3geez bank account...

sounds interesting. if it was a stationary ad it wouldn't be so noticable or as annoying. subsodizing group buys sounds good though.

Haha. I saw the thread and thought it might have been about a math problem. I don't have a problem with the add there. It will just take some getting used to. I'm sure we're receiving some compensation for it so maybe we won't have server/domain issues anymore.

Right under the Accord of the Month banner. Maybe you need to refresh your cookies or something to see it.

the banner was placed there because Nopi approched us to host the add. the banner will be there for 2 month.
As I understand foundation donations were never enough to pay for board expenses.
banners may become custom to this website, the board has to find a way to generate funds to pay for itself.

that is a short answer to all your answers.

thanks alex! hell..we should keep those ads up there. I don't mind. I'll even click it once in awhile to help Nopi keep interest in keeping the ad there for longer.

cleared cookies and got back on here, still no ad banner on my screen. oh well, it's still cool that NOPI is willing to help us somehow. maybe other companies will take notice, then interest in manufacturing parts could come up.

We'll have an announcement up within a couple of days. Nopi approached us about a promotional campaign for a couple months and Marc and I figured, Why not? We're excited to work with Nopi.

i would have agreed myself... may help us in the development of new parts for our cars because nopi now holds some interest in us...

I have to ask the same thing too..Up-"date" to the next event would be sweet. Hate living in the past.

We have google adds now. Does google adds earn the site any money?
