Testing new ad format

[Phil Herring]

Just a heads-up that you may notice a few ads mixed into forum threads. These are limited to:

- the Ask A Hunter Owner forum
- the content is Hunter replacement parts
- the ads are pretty low key, just a photo and a couple lines of text.
- no flashing, pop-ups, or screen takeovers

Our goal is to gradually, and without too much pain, spread the word about the various parts we have available and in stock for Hunters. As always, if you have comments or questions let us know.

 

[Rick D]

Heck, yes. It still surprises me how many new posters ask where the source is for Hunter parts

 

[GGordonWoody]

Am I to understand you don't work for free? Why, what sort of socialist, social media is this? Evil capitalist revenuers.
HA! Can't wait for the chesty tee-shirt models!

 

[Kermit]

I've seen ads at the bottom of threads for quite the little while. Not the least bit obtrusive. Will you be adding more? (For the record, I hope this helps keep all of this profitable for you. You provide a great service to us!)

 

[Kermit]

HA! Can't wait for the chesty tee-shirt models!

I could be a gutsy t-shirt model. ;-)

 

[GGordonWoody]

No problem at all.

 

[Mikem]

Go for it. I will pass the word also to our HAPS (Hunter Association of Puget Sound) and mention it our annual dinner November 19.

 

[Hunter Ad Bot]

Ad now a word from your sponsor...

[kloudie1]

Yup.. as Kermit says, you guys provide a great service and it needs to continue !

 

[justsomeguy]

Cutlass, not cutless.

 

[Phil Herring]

Cutlass, not cutless.

That's what I thought too, but I'm taking my cue from Johnson, who makes most of them:

 

[justsomeguy]

Cutless® is a registered trademark of Duramax® Marine LLC, all rights reserved.
Well, I guess you're right. Duramax makes the Johnson Cutless® bearing.

Learned a new word too. "Tribology".

 

[justsomeguy]

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Just got my coffee goin'.

Is the Ad a play on words or should it be And? I rather think it's funny as ad.

JSG has a code!

 

[justsomeguy]

JSG has a code!

A head code.

Phil, I think the ads will look better (and be even less obtrusive) if you change the default font for the text. It looks very "typewriter"-ish, and dated.

 

[Phil Herring]

Well, thank god it's not print. Type font changed, typo cleaned up, AA reference acknowledged as needed.

 

[SFS]

Should the change have applied retroactively? Text in post #8 above did not change, don't know how the code is written.

I'm really glad you have started this practice. It will help me become aware of the tremendous breadth of what the store carries, so I can refer more folks. I just found out in another thread that you carry covers for teak handrails!

 

[Brian D]

Glad you mentioned it. SBO Police Bot might have banned the ad poster. LOL
