there are some serious horseshit ads / shitware showing up. lots of yellow-bar shit ["IE blocked this bullshit for you"]Constant grinding/loading.
Thumbs down.
want to come clean about what the funding needs are? this is bullshit.
More than your badass 89 BMW is worth. Believe me tho, we are all impressed, especially charging for vagcom. Way to help out the community!! Thanks trash, I mean thrash!

Awwwh Thrash, is it freezing up your Pentium 166 with Internet Explorer 3? Or are you still using AOL?
Jesus man, I'm just kidding about the funding needs for FS, I just have been trying different ads to see if any of them could make FS self sustainable (which these would).
I'm sorry my free service to you doesn't cut it.

i was actually taking this in the "i'd chip in a few bucks to avoid ads that are this invasive" direction, but obviously re-reading what i wrote that doesn't come through at all and I sound like a whiny bitch. My bad
That said, I cannot beleive you guys are saying that i have shitty cars and shitty computers and that that is the problem. nobody likes ads that make your computer churn and constantly load shit [or play sounds, or put land mines all over your web pages etc]. I was focusing on the invasiveness of the ads.
when i see a site misbehaving that badly i have no idea if it is a server-side infection or ads run amuck or what.
My intent wasn't to bitch about the free service. It was "really? it has to be this shitty? i'd rather just pay for a less-shitty version"
And lest you think that it's all bullshit.. there are a couple people on here that may be willing to vouch for me helping them out. I haven't met most of you guys, I'm an outsider, nobody knows me, etc. I've still done a little bit here and there, and I like the site and would like to see it continue. I'd just hate to see it become unusable with crap-ware.
RE: vagcom. I used to do it for free for FS people I'd never met before. Then 1 guy [i think?] got the idea that I'd drop what I was doing to do it for them over and over whenever they wanted. Not how I roll. If it's not worth the pittance amount of money I now ask, that tells me something about the kind of person I'm dealing with.
A car guy likes to help out a fellow car guy -- I'm no exception. But you have to have an "out" for when it feels like people are going to take advantage of you.
For the times I've used someone elses VAGCOM, I've always offered to pay them for it. Nobody has accepted payment. I hope you can understand the difference there.
I think what I stated here on FS was "PM me for details", and I'll stand by that.

Thrash, relax. I'm just giving you shit like I give everybody.
I removed those ads this morning.

I wish you guys would have told me that before I pushed my BMWs -- trunks full of AOL CDs -- off a cliff in a fit of despair and self loathing.
I thought you guys respected me for my taste in 20 year old cars that are slower than a modern Camry.
Why didn't you say something earlier? Why didn't you intervene? :icon_pale:
