  1. The Site sponsors currently are (and I'm proud to mention them any chance I can):

     

    - Noss Machine: http://www.nossmachine.com

     

    - Sweet Quads: http://www.sweetquads.com

     

    - TRG Coating: http://www.trgcoating.com

     

    - Wolfpack Racing: http://www.wolfpackracing.com

     

    - and of course HQ premium members. hehe

     

    - oh, and shameless self promotion of my biz, HQ Network.

     

     

    As for getting paid, I've yet to be burned by Google. I can't vouch for accuracy of clickthrough's etc. but it seems accurate based on the ratio of hits I have web-analysis reports on my servers for, in relation to google's representation of clickthroughs.

     

    But if they burn me, they're outta here! :baseball_nuke: well, maybe I'd give them time to recitfy it.

  2. The only ads I want showing are that which pertain to the sport or powersports market. I am working on tweaking it so the ads are more relavent, but yes Polish is right in terms of supporting the site w/ the ads. You don't have to click on them just for the sake of support, but if you see an ad that interests you, it might bring you to a good deal online or to a good site.

     

    Google's pretty reliable for having strict policies for their advertising customers. The google ads have been on the home page since pretty much the start of the redesign. I've wanted to include them on the forums but couldn't think of a place to do so without cluttering it up and being unnecessary. I came to the conclusion I'd put them down at the footer, and occasionally near the top (which is only on the page where you view a thread. all other pages do not have them near the header).

     

    If a Banshee-specific merchant or vendor wanted a large ad in either of the google-ad spots, they would replace the google ads for the time they advertise on here.

     

    Hope this clears it up and helps reassure that you won't be seeing Visa and Viagra ads on here ever, if I can help it. And if anything like that shows up in the google ads, let me know.. I can filter out what is displayed on the google ads.

  3. I jumped on here as soon as I saw the article, but saw that someone beat me to it. It's crazy whenever you hear of a celebrity dying. But just like the extemists everywhere, whether it be crocodile hunters or base jumpers, you kinda saw it coming, sadly.

     

    The irony in this one is that he didn't die by the crock's, but rather a stingray. crazy stuff.

     

    RIP you crazy sonnofa-gun!

  4. I'm always skeptical of eBay rip-off's of genuine products. Here's what i think of this auction:

     

    1) judging by the way the title is worded: "Yankee Candle Aroma..." keyword being aroma. That's like saying "Yamaha Banshee Style" where it's probably not genuine yamaha.

     

    2) The label doesn't match. unless it was one before they hit the big-time & started putting pictures on their labels with their brand name in large print at the top of the label.

     

    3) their site doesn't have "neroli & rose" listed from what i can see: Alphabetical list of products here

     

    IMO, some bidder is getting hosed on this purty smell.

     

    I burn candles all the time, since glade plug-ins usually give me a headache and make they house smell too much like perfume.

  5. lol hes 5 of course he is going to do somethng like that. he doesnt understand that the paint is permanent. my favorite 5 year old trick is when they cut thier own hair lol now thats fukin funny shit right there!

     

     

    HAHA, funny u mention that. One of my niece's did that the other day. didn't do a bad job, better than i could do; but she decided she didn't like the hair getting in her eyes all the time. kids are funny that way.

     

    As for the tagging, there's some pretty creative tags around here between the many bridges/overpasses and rail cars (trains). Teach your little bro to do it creatively...and respectfully. Who knows, maybe someday he'll be one of those that make incredible sidewalk art, murals or even air-brushing.

  6. A friend of mine sent me this link:

    http://www.costco.com/Common/Category.aspx...=BC&topnav=

     

    It got me thinking... not of death but, the nature of selling caskets. He mentioned those haven't quite reached the in-store level yet, mostly because they're not your typical "impulse buy" item.

    But I told him when they reach the store they'll put one up near the registers right next to the promo display for Fast Break candy bars.

     

    I like the cross-promoting. click a casket. "Product Recommendations: Military Delux Flag Case"

     

    they should have "customers who bought this also bought:

    -Flowers: $3.99 & up!

    -Hankerchefs: $1.99!

    -Life insurance policy: (prices vary)

    -Smith and Wesson rifle: $109.95 **SALE PRICE**! "

     

    And he replied: 'invest in your future! Buy bulk funeral items at Costco today!'

     

    And the final reply by me: "Gift wrapping not available for this item"

     

    Had to share the laughs, figured some of you would get a kick out of it like i did.

  7. Thanks Brooke for the heads up. This has been fixed, and I'm currently working with the invision people to get a tighter grasp on where the loophole is.

     

    I didn't notice it last night. I use Firefox, which I strongly suggest anyone running windows use. IE let's anything and everything through.

     

    I'll be working on the fix, guys. Sorry for the troubles.

     

    Here are a couple good places to scan your computer if you think you've been infected by any spyware/adware/trojans.

     

    http://www.bitdefender.com (click the free scanner online link on the lower left)

    http://www.ewido.net (free online scanner)

     

    http://free.grisoft.com (AVG antivirus [free virus program] )

  8. it's been a while but i noticed an rss link on the homepage and was wonder if and how it works.i have a couple of rss channels on my psp.

     

    RSS is essentially a text version of a site. However, only certain content (in this case thread titles & links to the thread, etc) are included in the RSS.

     

    Any newsfeed you see from a news source, on a relavent site, is probably an rss feed.

     

    You can use rss and xml on a bunch of devices such as PDA's with wifi/ethernet, mobile phones, or tablet pc's, even watches (the spiffy net/pc watches for geeks).

     

    RSS uses a language called XML, which is a tag-based language (similar to html) that tells the mobile device or whatever is reading it, how to display the rss file (formatting, spacing, etc).

     

    Just a very portable, slimmed down way to get headlines and tidbits out without causing bandwidth issues.

  9. What I think is incredible is the fact that not only does he surpass in freestyle moto-x, but ALSO won the first Rally car in the X-Games!

     

    Colin McCrae, if you didn't see it, came in second after ROLLING HIS CAR OVER and took right off again to place second behind Pastrana.

     

    Incredible stuff.

  10. Funny thing is... I knew you were gonna post this a loooong time ago. I only wonder how difficult it was for you to wait for the opportunity. Iron fist LMFAO

     

    Dude, fuck yourself. How's that for some roost.
