It looks nice but just one problem I can't buy any products from you because I just noticed that you are not a donating Org member so you have not supported our cause so I will not be supporting yours. No hard feelings

 

And this makes sense because??? FYI-I've been selling on Maxima.org for a year and a half or more, and we've always supported the members on the site. If you have any further questions or comments, you should contact me at the numbers/e-mail below.

 

Well if you don't understand what I'm saying then there's nothing else I need to say. I'm sure other members will understand where I'm coming from. Have a nice day

 

I don't understand your comments nor do I understand the criticism you bring about. I left this site because of attitudes like yours. All we try to do is bring about good products, some new, some revised, trying to help the Maxima community.


Your rudeness is not appreciated, but the people who have been my customers for a long time can in fact tell you that I have always supported this site. If you don't believe me, ask the members who have supported my business, and they can tell you what I've done for the Maxima community in general.

 

i think it's kind of arrogant to flame a long time member of the maxima community like alex, especially when they are producing new products for the maxima.

i can't say i blame someone for not supporting a board that has major stability problems, but that's a whole 'nother thread.

 

So since I am not a donating member either does that mean that I will not get my questions answered. Hmmm its nice to see what the community has lead to, I think I recall it as Donating. So I take it you donate to your party type, otherwise you should not be able to vote in the elections since you don't donate. Does that also mean you can't have a pet, unless you donate to the humane society. Gesh if I donated to all the causes, I think I would be broke. But I guess I don't see where you aree coming from either.

I could go on and one, so should cops not help or firemen unless we donate to their cause also, well I will not go on and on. Sorry for venting guys.

 

Did I menion that you should donate to all causes? My take on this is that if you benefit from something such as the Org (like yourself asking questions) or their members (making money from Org members purchasing products from you )then you should at least give back to the community. I mean come on you can't even afford $10? If you cannot then I apologize but then again you can afford to but a computer to log onto Maxima.Org so I really don't see the problem.But hey I'm not cheap so I'll never understand your way of thinking.

 

Oh one more thing notice how Avalon Racing is a Donating Org Member?

 

this is exactly why the "donating member status" was unecessary...it seems that many people think that thoes who don't donate are not "supporting" the board...I donted $5, but mine doesn't say "donating member", but I still support the board with my knowledge, etc....even if I didn't donate I'd say the same thing! I have to say that, that was a arrogant and ridiculous comment!

 

Wow, the real reason for your objections to Alex is revealed. Do whatcha like chief but I for one have to wonder what your motivations for posting on this thread really are!

 

WTH? What does donating or not donating have anything to do with this thread? We asked for this, his company made it, what more could you ask for? If you don't think this is helping the Maxima community, I don't know what is.

 

I think hes saying that alex is using the Org to make money and somewhat advertising this tie down of his but alex is not repaying the org for his money made here by donating. In a way I do think this is like advertising. I really don't care and I have not donated because I extremely in debt because of modding my max. I will donate later when I catch up on bills.

 

THANK YOU finally someone understands me. *Sigh*

 

lol...BottleFedMax, thanks for ruining this thread.

 

Weak argument here. I don't know either party involved here, nor have I been on this board that long, so I don't intend to offend anyone. But judging from other posts, Alex has been here for a while and does plenty in terms of trying to make mods for Maxes. I think he is in fact "giving back to the community" in the sense that he is trying to produce goods we can use to enhance our cars given our limited choices elsewhere. Keep in mind, money isn't the only way to "return the favor" and just because he "advertises" here, no one is obligated to buy. If that were the case, there shouldn't be a "For Sale" forum, otherwise everyone who has a FS post should donate....

The whole intention of this board is for Maxima owners/enthusiasts to post/share ideas/help each other out etc.. A donation is a nice gesture in terms of supporting the forum when help is needed. But I don't think by any means anyone is obligated to donate just because he/she visits the org. Implying that someone is cheap because they don't donate is uncalled for because it makes the donation seem more like a required fee...

 

guess what guys... i consider alex making a product that we wanted (to the specifications that we wanted) repaying the maxima community. in fact, i'd much prefer him do that than to donate $20 to a board that doesn't seem to have any inkling of growing or fixing the problems, just selling the disaster.

 

and also the fact that he took the time to REDESIGN it when some didn't like the original design!!

this thread is a great way for us to welcome more "Maxima specific" vendors to our site! "if you don't donate at least $20, you gets no love!!"

 

I did not choose a side I just tried to help everyone understand I little more what bottlefedmax was saying. This is a place for people to say there own opinions. Hey I might buy one of these but it would be nice of alex to donate. Will I not buy from him if he does not donate? No! Like I said it would be nice of him to donate. He also change the design so that people will buy it. Also I have a ?. Will there be other colors avialable?

 

notice how maxima.org is up for sale?

 

this thread is a sad thing. i've been around here for a year or more and this place sucks a big one from what it use to be. when i first saw the donate to the cause thing come up i was really taken aback. i suspect you donating members won't mind donating to uncle sam when he comes by with his hands out to all internet users. a business that asks for donations, ah yes like major league baseball, build me a stadium please. this is a business people, i don't think it used to be but the current administration has made it one. so do as you please but don't be critical of non donating member. i know i'm going to put non donating member in my signature, i think all of us non donating members should. u r a fool with a lame status i would not want to begin with. b ut to each his own, don't flame people for not donating, then it's not a donation now is it.

 

I can't tell you all how much we at SWA appreciate your words of support. All I'm trying to say is that we have, in fact, supported Maxima community and Maxima.org for a while, and I just didn't appreciate the comments which BFM brought on, since
A)They were uncalled for in this thread
B)I did exactly what Maxima.org and Altimas.net wanted-a new item, which looked clean, and was something new that all of us could use.

Again, thank you all.
Alex

 

Did I state that I was special because I have this so called status as you refer to? I didn't, did I?
Did I flame any of you non donators? I didn't, did I? I simply stated to Max8MyCash SPECIFICALLY that since HE's not a donator and since HE's running a business and making MONEY here then I CHOOSE not to buy ( supporting him) from him. Understand??!!!I can care less if any of you others donate thats not my business I simply stated my opinion and I get flamed.

 

You should have kept it to yourself. IT was totally uncalled for and I think you were just trying to convince others not buy from him either. thats the only reason you posted that, to try to create this dark cloud which you already have around his product.
ITs really lame, no one cares if your a donating member or not grow up and keep your lame opinions to yourself.....

I think just by coming to this site and giving it more hits is enough donation.

 

Practice what you preech!

 

blow me ....

 

I wasted my time reading through this thread to find out about tie down bars, but instead I experienced this crap. People say that "you shouldn't be flamed for stating your own opinion". Well, if its something about a car, or if you didn't like what the tie down bars looked like, and you possibly wanted to ask Alex if he could change them, then your opinion is appreciated. However, not all opinions are appreciated. A racist comment wouldn't be appreciated, however, ITS YOUR OPINION and should it be flamed, yes, most definitely. So i was just trying to prove that all opinions aren't needed, NOT SAYING YOU ARE RACIST, JUST AN EXAMPLE.


so, is there anyway someone can delte this thread, and start a new thread just about the tie down bars?

just had to get my peace out

 

man, what the hells going on???
the tie-downs look good, color options would be nice also.
why donate when the goal has been reached?
also some people that have donated have not had their org status changed.. i wouldn't want mine changed anyway..

 

You're officially. . . . .a hoser. Way to go, harassing a company that is striving to bring new products to market for our cars.

I donated $10 toward the cause, personally, but I didn't notice there was a mandate to do so & I don't go around looking for credit for it, either. (sub-$20 donations don't earn a "Donating Member" recognition)

Some people contribute by offering helpful advice, some by donating $, and still others by helping to develop & make available new, useful & exciting aftermarket products for our cars. Maybe you need to step back & get some perspective on "the big picture."

Remember - think, before type.

 

 

 

I couldn't agree more! I donated my $25 a long time ago. However, I like being a Maximaniac so I asked to Jambo not to change my status but to still give me access to O.T. You guys are so lame if you are really getting that worked up over who donated and who didn't. I bet there are other members like me who prefered to be unknown. Grow up.

 

BottleFed.. you are a f#cking dumbass.. don't every ask me .. answer any.. or speak to me again.. if you see me at meets. don't say **** to me.. because you know what.. i didn't donate ither..

 

it was never a requirement for anyone who adverstise or sell to donate.. it was a voluntary function.. now you trying to make it seem like entrapement.. or that if he doesn't feel doing it.. he must to maintain an image.. "Donating Maxima.org member" that ain't ****.. you want to knwo what he donated.. he donated services and gave us discounts.. he looked out for maxima owners.. and this is the thanks he gets.. you guys are f#cking ungrateful as$holes.. you can f#ck off in my book too.. becasue i didn't Donate ither..

your f#cking opinion doesn't mean ****..

no one asked you if you were in debt.. you didn't donate.. so you have no right to point the finger at anyone.. how do you know Alex isn't in debt with his business? thas right you don't know ****..

good for you.. but as of now.. it doesn't mean ****

 

Perhaps a ***** envy forum would be appropriate.....

 

This thread was amusing....







if someone is making money here from here, doesn't mean they have to donate here. Be gratefull they are actually makeing products to sell here.

"here" is the magical word for today....

 

Can't we all just get along? So many members here are looking for drama.
