and if you can't enforce a non-sponsor soliciting policy, why pay to be a sponsor? to get a banner? is that really worth it?

 

That sounds like a decent option. The only problem is that it will effect site speed. It sounds like a good option though. You could run two rows on the right side and get rid of the google ads. If they have to stay then just put them all the way at the bottom.

Brains is there a way you could set up the google ads to where you have to click on a link to see them? You could make the link tiny and in a random spot like the bottom of the page. That way they are still on the site somewhere, but nobody can see them and they don't interfere with operation.

 

yeah or you could cut them in half the size and make a row on the right and the left or so on. if you check out z28.com they have google ads and i didnt even notice they did until i went lookin for them today after this

 

yea my back button doesent really work now..google is mad gay

 

What about in comparison to how much the sponsors bring in for LS1tech. I honestly have no idea what they make off paying sponsors, but I'm sure it it far more than what google can bring.

And it's not just that there is google ads here now, it's blatantly set up so you MUST go through google ads to get to a sponsor and all kinds of other tricks to get "hits" on the google links. Thats a little Effd up.

 

Like banning 01FbTaWs6. I'm shocked you haven't banned me yet but I don't really care too much. After all "We can fix and make it better" bullshit that is flying around. IB is going to get the money off this site and when people stop coming here they will throw it away and seek out the next victim. The Sponsers and the members have gotten screwed by this deal and the best LSX site on the internet is now officially a has been. myls1.com ***. Later.

 

Just like they tried to do in Independance Day.

 

I like it. Leave these ******** the shell of what used to be LS1tech. The name doesn't make the site.....the people do. Let's go

 

You hadn't spammed, until now. Congratulations, if you want to a martyr, you now are one.

Back to the topic at hand.

 

I have to agree. I thought one of the primary benefits to being a sponsor was the exclusivity of being able to sell your stuff and having only your stuff recommended to people. If that's no longer the case then I feel that at least, the sponsorship price should be reduced some.

 

Well it's not going to take much now for these so called "shitty" sites to grow with all the bullshit that is going on with this one. I am sure banning people will really help this matter. Especially people that have been active members here for quite some time. Maybe the mods should ban all the people who have complained about the dumbass change this site has gone through. People are dropping like flies off of this site anyway. Seems like A LOT of sponsors will be gone as well.

 

He was banned for spamming, not stating his opinion. Read the thread before making stupid comments. And for the record, I didn't ban him, Nineball did.

Can we get back on topic please? Thanks.

 

If that thread about IB's takeover was still up, you all would see that I predicted that Brains was just doing this as part of his plan to take over and squash the "silly GM fools."

I mean, DAMN IT PEOPLE! HE DRIVES A CHARGER AND A MUSTANG!!! WAKE UP!!!

This is what we've got to do. This will solve all our problems. Listen, we all band together and [Censored by Brains...]

 

My point exactly, they're squeezing every little penny out of this site, who gives a **** if the members and moderators don't like it.

Everyones talking about banner ads and **** on the side of the screen. Try starting with the 16 adclicks when you hit a link.
Wait, we can't, thats 16 pennies they just made.

 

I know who banned him. I never once said you banned him. He was stating that the "shitty" site, as you so humbly called it, will now be, and is better than this one.

 

**** this bullshit. I'm pissed that the Google ad's clearly advertising something that's non-existent. I clicked on "Get Camaro Z28 ringtones now!" multiple times to no avail. I want my motherfucking phone to sound like a motherfucking Z28 going WOT when I get a booty call. How are you going to replace a sponsor that sells REAL merchandise with a add that advertises non-existent stuff.

Oh, and I had no idea that the Caprice, Impala, Monte Carlo and Grand Prix came with LSX blocks. Thank god I'm such a hard core gear head otherwise I might have been fulled by the drop down menu under "Find your USED LSX!"

 

A Camaro SS at WOT would sound better...

 

Ive never seen anyone call ls1tech a shitty site and mean it, for mods here to call other sites shitty just seems wrong, come on now. uncalled for.

Edit maybe a mod didnt say "shitty" i just saw that and assumed, sorry. Still the point stands.

 

R duh V6 wit singul xzuastt!!111

 

No, he called it shitty. Real professional huh?
