| Welcome to the Monster
Truck Trading Center! Since other Web Boards have
experienced some problems over the years I think
some rules are in order and I'll put them right
here for all to see! |
- You may post messages
about:
- show/event
dates
- new web sites
- For Sale Items
- wanted ads
- auctions
(online or Regular Auctions)
- General
Announcements
- Help Wanted
- availability
of your services/expertise
- and/or
willingness to work
- and other
informational or promotional
postings.
- If you know HTML you can
use HTML in your posts! This means you can post a
very nice ad or announcement here! And further
good news is if you post here and want to make
your posting nicer but don't know how, I'll help
you (as time allows and time is short till late
at night on weekends so don't expect a instant
response)!
- If you run auctions at one
of the auction sites like E-bay you may post
links to your auctions here! You may also cut and
paste code from your `auction submit' program and
link to pictures on other sites! Please make sure
you own the picture or have permission to use it!
- Don't worry about postings
that might compete with my business interests
either. Go ahead and post it! This board can't be
much of a service if it can't support us both! If
you wish to time your posting to appear after
mine then E-mail me and "we'll figure it
out".
- If you have a special need
let me know! If you want a permanent posting, I
think we can handle that! You can repost once a
week or every X-days and I'll delete your
original post and rename the actual original
message or you can cut and paste your ad message.
There
is a banner tosser system here on
Monster Highway incase you want to advertise
all over this site and a few others I control!
- This message board isn't
here for idle talk or even General Discussion of
Monster Truck Events and Subjects! In other words
"It ain't for gossip"! Karmegeddon's
Web Board is the place for discussion messages
and reaches a audience more atuned to talk and
discussion!
Monster Truck Discussion Board
- This board doesn't exist
to allow anyone to harass any other user
(especially the users who post items for trade or
sale here)! I reserve the right to delete any
post and ban most anyone at any time and for any
reason!
- This board isn't for
General MTM questions either but feel free to
post announcements of new tracks, trucks,
programs or requests for new trucks or tracks. Do
Realize though that most of these postings might
be better on the MTM Message Board!
- Earlier last month we
added some space for this board's message
archives. We've converted to a new script called
"The Mr. Fong Device"! This new script
has a autocut feature where it will maintain the
veiwable message list size at a predetermined
number. As this new script takes over completely
it should archive the last couple hundred
messages and automatically remove messages from
the list at the pre-determined size. So use the
search function if you are looking for something
and it's not in the message list.
- Another advantage to this
will be many of the major search engines pickup
on the ads and postings here. It's quite possible
that a ad you post here now that doesn't even
show in the listing can still draw inquiries
(business) for you a year later. Let me know if
you need an ad removed to stop further inquiries.
- I've made another change
to the board main page which will give me a
little more flexability in updating and should be
a little faster. The new script has been
implemented now but the old script is still in
service for older postings.
- I looked up the stats for
this board and implemented a counter so you can
see how much usage the board gets. My next step
might be to add a counter to each message.
Haven't quite figured out how to do that yet.
- This new script requires
that you fill in the E-mail address space in the
posting form with a working E-mail address.
(ALWAYS!) I see that as a good idea. You can
setup a freebie E-mail address somewhere if you
don't want to use your normal E-mail address
here. Children under 14 may use the word
"exempt" as a Email username followed
by @yourisp.com. ie; exempt@monsterhighway.com.
- I'm still working on
setting up a special pre-configured posting
mechanism for the more regular advertisers
tailored to their needs. I haven't figured out
how to do this yet either but It should be
something like a special form page (maybe with
multiple forms) pre-filled in with fancier HTML,
logos and more pictures.
In the meantime this script should now
automatically fill in some of the form info like
your name, E-mail address, the optional link
fields and images URLs. This is done by setting a
cookie in your browser. You'll need to change
these preset items the next time you post if they
no longer apply or don't fit in with the new
posting subject.
Now Enjoy the
board! I'm doing some modifications and testing and
expect to add more features yet so you may post
suggestions here for now!
