Contributing/Sponsor Memberships

I had a death in the family and unfortunately got a little sidetracked on this. But I'm shooting for the next week or 2. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sorry to hear that, just worry about your family matters and get to this once things calm down and you have time.

Thanks everyone. It wasn't anything sudden, so wasn't as traumatic...

No vendor wants to be on this forum,why would they? There are way to many disrespectful people here,hardly anything car audio about this site.

if you see anything that is disrespectful outside of the thunderdome feel free to report it. this stuff is handled quickly if its reported. this forum is far too large for us to view every single post made.

Hey everyone. I'm making progress on it and hoping to get it going next week hopefully. IF that doesn't happen then the other sponsor method will definitely be ready and live at that time, with the vendor memberships shortly after.

I apologize for the wait, just a few unforseen issues keep popping up...

Around 2 or so years ago you stated you did NOT want dealers, wholesalers, or any other distributer types on here. You now want to have them?

With these types coming here are you going to make sub sections for their companies like some of the other forums?

The reason I ask is because this site has always been unbiased of brand, manufacture, and/or representitive of companies. Most people use to want to keep it that way. I myself still do want to keep it that way. Personally, if you would go about redisigning this site for more technical aspects of car audio and a learning center, I see you getting far more hits and revenue from that. Having a system on the front page that offers wiring diagrams, box tutorials, ect.

Its ultimatly up to you I guess. I see your point of wanting to put money in your pocket. Having vendors pay you to use your site for their products is a way. However, I truly believe that there are other ways to make this website grow and still up your earning potentials.

My bad, I missed this. Honestly, the site has always had dealers, shopping sites on the front page, etc. This is just a way to help them grow their business and also help out the site in a number of ways. The vast majority of visitors are interested in purchasing car audio, so why not cater to that? This is simply a way for them to expand their presence on the forum.

And yes, I do plan on offering sub-sections on the forum for their business use, for those who want to go that route.

Update: The comet chat was updated so was itrader this week, as was a server issue.

So, if all goes as planned, next week we well have Vendor memberships available.

I apologize for the delay, just want everything to be perfect as possible when it's launched.

I think it's a great idea seems to be working fantastically for other forums and it would give dealers (new and previous) and the like an avenue to reach new or more customers I've been waiting for something like this to happen. Keep up the good work!!!

Not only that, but I don't see having dealers here as making CA biased. I see it as an extra level of support to get in touch with companies a lot of us probably have at least one product with. This allows for better support from companies on our own turf, questions specific to products to be answered, and for better development from them as well as they'll be talking directly to the people using products =P

Only using CACO as an example here, but I would like to see the classifieds a little further diversed, I know they've been worked on in last few months. Not quite as diverse as the CACO in my opinion, but a little more specific. For example, make an amplifier section that is split in two, Mono Amps and Multi-Channel amps.

Then 8-10" Sub's, 12-15", 18+", parts/motors/odd sized subs or something along the lines.

Personally people can complain all they want about "mean people" here, but the fact is the majority of people getting disrespectful responses A. Do not report it, and B. Ask a question that could have been answered via a search through the forum in 5 minutes.

I'd prefer this forum and sifting through responses myself with real people answering than 'other website(s)' which aren't quite as free (much more strict) on the modding front.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that this is now live, incase you haven't already noticed.

Anymore input or questions?

 

[Bosstradamus 10+ year member]

Dealers don't come here because of all the bs that goes on here. There are very few knowledgeable people on this forum most posts are in the thunderdome. This site has very little to do with car audio most of the time.

My point exactly,this is how most on this forum act. Show me a thread that stays on topic without some idiot coming in saying something stupid.
