Yeah Steve, it was me....porridge senior moments....as you guys will learn first hand someday I'm just being your role model for when that day comes so you'll know how to act; you can just tell 'em, "Hey that's the way Hooli acted so it must be OK!"
You guys know and respect Mike and GTG and what they've done as well as I do; I know that. Like Daddee said, guess I'm just feeling snippy tonight. Hell of a note when an old retired fart needs a vacation, ain't? _________________ John Richardson and Richie Rich, El Perro de Playero

Well I'm playing catch up on this posting, and see that its pretty well documented that we were going off on ads and not Mike or GTG. Good, cuz thats what I meant too. My point was not that the guys would sell out or anything, but that that some day we may need additional capital to run the site. Early seems a better time to discuss how we would like that plan to look rather than later. And I'm sure the guys will discuss it with all of us. I'm not really AGAINST ads, so long as it isn't intrusive, much like Cakewalks post. I also still like the idea of supporting Azhikers members FIRST. Maybe a seperate category where a member could subscribe to have their business, location, contact number, etc. listed so we could use their services. There could be a small fee for it, and I mean really small. I agree as well, that we're getting ahead of ourselve a bit cuz our current membership size and daily hits probably wouldn't impress advertisers a whole bunch just yet. But just wait....... _________________ Mike T

Miket, I fully realize noone was going off on GTG and Mike; my concern was, and still is to some degree, that folks NOT as aware as ourselves might easily come along, scanning the posts, as many do, talking about how much we hate ads and how much we're willing to do to prevent ads. They then jump to the conclusion that ads are right around the corner and next thing you know there's a lot of misinformation circulating; and once stuff like that gets going it's really hard to stop. Ninety percent of our membership would probably read nothing more into the posts than was intended. It's that other ten percent that worries me 'cause they're the ones that start the rumors.
And I want everyone who reads this to know that I know you're all in that 90% group!
My opinion: Let's drop the discussion ads until it's necessary....and that's a long time off yet. _________________ John Richardson and Richie Rich, El Perro de Playero

You guys are great, Hooli, you could be ... well nevermind.
No, we won't have any popup ads or such annoyances on this site. Those of you at our meeting at my place last Friday know our stance on those pumpkin, stinkin' mugrats.
We did discuss ads and we are in no position to want or need them now. We will never SPAM anyone as an advert to the site. I did email everyone who I had an address for to get them together, but that's it. We will occasionally email all members with informational items about the site. Items such as the recent discussions about logos, moderators, ads, next step for the site, what you like, don't like, upcoming feature, upcoming hikes etc. It won't be a Hey Come Buy Our Product/Give Us Money! thing.
The respose I've seen here on the site has been great. We appreciate that. So far it's worked out the way we intended, to get a site back up for the community so that we could all comunicate about hiking again.
In the future we plan on making additions to the site, but that will come in time. The site is less than a week old publicly, we don't have a logo yet, graphics or shirts and stickers. Give us a little time and we will.
Thanks for your appreciation and and patience. You folks are wonderful. I hope you all enjoy the site as much as I do.

Hi All,
Are we posting logo submissions in here? I'd love to throw a design in the ring as well.
Anyone else have designs they want to show yet? I'll put mine up as soon as I have one.
Nevermind, I found it in the other thread.
