The Power of this Forum and the Internet

Is this post what one would call a sales plug post????????

LOL

Jim, great that you offer this service to people. Pity can't you can't map where they go.

Yes - its an interesting statistic that around 50% of all forum activity is people reading archived posts. Whilst people can no longer actively respond to these posts (they are locked when archived) the information is still read widely and must be of some use to some! One of the big reasons why we are so adamant about a code of behaviour. There is long life in these posts (well beyond when they seemingly slip off the first page!!). Enjoy, MM

People are quick to forget all the replies Jim does contribute too,He even gives non-biased info about his competitors when a thread comes up..

Thats what i have noticed,Just like Derek at ABR..


Nice pic too..

Yes he is not biaes with his posts even admitting when he gets bogged in his own baclyard.

A long time ago, I built a web page devoted to my 4WD and camping adventures and posted links on EO, in particular in relation to my home made drawer/slide unit. A couple of years ago I built another page and loaded it in the same address for my business, yet my stats still to this day indicate that almost ALL of my traffic comes via ExplorOz! The archives really do work!

And Jim's post reflects what Aussies are really like...... it's not too much bother to help others! Yet someone comes along and accuses him of self promotion....... Who gives a tinkers cuss if he self promotes, AFAIK and AFAIC that's an advantage of being an advertiser on the site!

Good on ya Jim!!

Good on you Jim, I support the positive comments above made about you & your business.
It's your advertising money and members membership money that keeps the sight alive financially.
It's contributors, both members & non members that make the sight interesting and varied.
Negative, sour grape type comments contribute nothing & achieve nothing. Hoo Roo

Oh golly. I see this forum has not changed after all these years and why we stopped being a member years ago. It is impossible to have a joke with someone on here STILL! My little comment right at the start was not meant as negative, but everyone seems to jump on their band wagon and get so defensive. Jim it was not meant to be nasty or mean, but obviously you guys dont know me like others do on here.

I give up, this forum is still the same as it was 7 years ago when I let our membership laps. Not to worry, but sorry if you took it the wrong way. I have come to the conclusion it is just best to read this forum and be invissable.

I guess the answer to your question then Karen is yes, it is a sales post(which has been paid for) thanks for pointing this out to us, and thanks for your feedback. Writing posts as a form of communication has its drawbacks...i missed your "lol" aswell. Question back to you now please....have you found a forum that your comfortable with yet?

Hiya Karen,Ken,Geoff

Its a complaint ive had for a long time,Theres just no emotion to black and white text,SMS is no different..It does not take much to make a sentence look serious.I'm sure so many times people look at a reply and think (Is he having a go at me or is he just joking)..There must be a better way to convey emotions.

I'm sure 90% of the barneys on here would not happen around a camp fire because you can pick up straightaway where he/she is coming from..

Cheers
