Pathfinder-jay Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hey guys, well I figured this forum is going to help me a @!*%load since I know I will never drive anything except a pathfinder (models 96 and under) for the rest of my life lol So I figured I could help whoever owns these forums/website. I own www.m-e-tech.com. Its a hosting company... so I would be more then glad to sponsor the site/forums by designing or even hosting if you guys pay for the forums. Just let me know and ill do it Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94extreme Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 didn't know if you saw the related topic or not.. sexy it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Wow...that is very generous of you to offer your assistance Jay. I don't think I speak for just myself when I say that we appreciate it greatly. I think the biggest thing that is pressing right now is actually hosting the site - and uploading/updating member's pages. I know that mine is extremely out of date. However, the only person that has access to that side of thie site is Mr.Jim - and he's in a bit of a tight spot right now and cannot access the forums. I'm sure if your company were to donate hosting to NPORA that would fit exactly what we need right now. I don't think we need to have the forum reskinned, or have the website redone, just yet.

Slick Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 :o wow! that IS awesome!! :bow: to your generosity. As above mr jim is inna pickle right now and he's the god of this site and has all the final say-so... that is a really cool offer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well i didnt mean reskin but you know like at the top is says invision power board... replace that witha nice logo for NPORA.. ya know... just to style it up a bit hehe. And I have a lot of neat tools for members etc. Anyhow Its up to all of you, I leave the offer open. Like I said im sure you guys will be helping me out alot in the future aswell since i own a 91 rust bucket lmao. But its my baby and im determined to fix her up! In the mean time I have made a small site to try and get some peoples opinions on how to go by fixing her up etc... but yet no one has posted. Id appreciate if some of ya can leave me some tippers on www.pathfinderxbuild.com. My little project. And in advance... no im not trying to create a pathfinder community on that site! just looking for some advice for my pathfinder. Im trying to find sponsors aswell...seeing if any companies are interested.... So far i got some offers on suspension... want to turn my truck into an offroading machine like the rest of yours. Sadly im in school till next december so my money doesnt allow me to repair my truck the way it should be lol. Finding parts is also hard in my neck of the woods... most parts i find are in US and cost an arm and a leg to ship (door panels etc). Read more bout my truck on the site and see what you guys think, Id appreciate it alot. Like I said this is my first car... TRUCK i should say hehe, so im always looking for some tippers on how to fix her up. I know theres alot on the forums but alot is also vary vague and not direct enough to my issues. Anyhow i hope to see some interest and would also like to know how to get me one of those NPORA decals for my truck! Thanks Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think it's a good idea. When I go to other forums they look so damn cool. Ours is sort of bland. The information contained is still awesome, but spicing it up couldn't hurt. That's just my opinion... we'll have to see what an administrator thinks. Is 88 and Mr. Jim the only ones?

statikuz Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 i agree, both the website and the forum could use some reskinning/redesigning. http://www.nissanpathfinders.com/ looks pretty poor and this forum isn't too exciting (btw 88, i like the skin on yours ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Well check out www.pathfinderxbuild.com let me know what you think of that theme..Obviously id customize it, but the colors etc, image gallery....allows any member to upload pics of their rigs...then admins review them. Lots of nice features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelmanLS1 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 *bump. Do you administrators think we could at least get a yes or a no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Ya let me know what you guys want to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derogate Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Its a generous offer, But I like it just fine the way it is. Theres no needless Trend-whore graphics, or useless pixel sized buttons everywhere. If it aint broke, don't fix it.... mind you we did get that hacker thing a while back.

Filthy Luker Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Although it may seem rather bland, the forum is extremely easy and non-tiring to read. I hate it when I get a headache from looking at some of the stylized forums out there. The main site could use an overhaul however. Do you have other links to show your work?

Pezzy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 *bump. Do you administrators think we could at least get a yes or a no? I agree with Luker, I dont really mind the look of the bland forum... But regardless, it's not up to the mods to change the site... the only one who can, is the guy who owns/started the site & board, Mr Jim... and he currently doesnt have internet access... we are working to get in touch with him, even if just to upgrade the forum software.

Pathfinder-jay Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Im not talking a complete overhaul here... just to change the top banners and make it look a bit more like a all in one site... well we made www.m-e-tech.com, www.gamrnode.com, www.hl2gamer.com, www.cod2lounge.com, www.bf2lounge.com, www.pathfinderxbuild.com i did in 10 min! check that out please!!

wheelmanLS1 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) pathfinderxbuild.com is too much for most NPORA members, particularly the geezers. The black background with fancy fonts is a little tough on the eyes sometimes. A new banner would be nice, and he said we could get rid of that Invision Powerboard stuff at the top. Changing those wouldn't be an overhaul really... just a nice touch-up. Edited January 16, 2006 by wheelmanLS1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSM_guy Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 pathfinderxbuild.com is too much for most NPORA members, particularly the geezers.

Changing those wouldn't be an overhaul really... just a nice touch-up. i have to agree. i think its AWESOME your offering your services..but i think on most automotive forums people prefer function over form. lots of flashy graphics and contrast tends to make my eyes bleed. and im not even an old geezer! (22). i think a few touchups that have been mentioned are cool...but nothing too far past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I like the way it is....simple, easy to navigate, fairly quick for all....except when someone doesn't Resize... No offense Pathfinder-Jay, but i come here for the Info not the graphics...Thanks for the offer though. I say a vote is needed...... BTW- Pathfinder-Jay, if you need any advice or questions answered about the Pathy let us know....we're always willing to help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I'll agree that the banners could use a touch up -- but leave the rest unchanged -- it works really well as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93blkpathr Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 My only complaint is we could use a few more emoticons, but otherwise I like the way the site is - simple and easy on the eyes. I think the money and effort would be better spent elsewhere JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder-jay Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well to tell you guys the truth, its not going to be costing anything since id do it on my free time, and I didnt suggest overhauling the whole site i just ment replace the invision power board sign at the top with a nice NPORA sign... just little changes. Thats all i offered, I come here to get right to the point, not to be distracted by flash hehe. Anyhow if you guys have advice post it on my forums! i got some to do so!
