NAS-ROW needs your help.

Hi Everybody.

Wow, what a week! NAS-ROW has hit record traffic levels since the "other site" added even more ads and invasive crap with their redesign. It sure is fun to see the board busy and we really want to keep this thing rolling strong. The busier we are, the more traffic that we get from people doing web searches. It's a virtuous cycle.

We could use your help to cement the site as the #1 Defender gathering place. There are a few small things that you can do that would go a long way:

- Post your classifieds here first, ideally a week or two before you post them elsewhere.
- Buy stuff from the classifieds here. That makes sellers more willing to post here first.
- Continue to post up, especially in the tech threads and the new photo thread. Loving all of your sweet photos!

We are dead-serious about our original mission to keep this place 100% ad-free and non-commercial. Speaking for myself here, I saw NAS-ROW as a throwback to the days of the old Internet, when people put up cool stuff just because it was fun, not to "monetize" it. We would sooner close this forum than sell it, run ads, or sell your data.

If there is something here that we're missing, that would make this place better for you, please let us know.

Thanks, everyone, for three great years of NAS-ROW.

Chris, Dave, JimC, and WoldD90

Keep up the great work. I was turned off by the 'other site' with the mention on charging some fee. It just takes away from the wonky world of Rover ownership. I'd rather toss in a few bucks in the pot to help keep things online.

Nice.

You know, without even thinking about it, ever since they changed things over there, I have just stopped lurking. It's not even worth clicking on the link just to see what's up anymore.

I'm all in here but do lurk next door a bit. I would love to see more traffic in the classifieds as well, as I always post here first for a few weeks. Still a way higher user base for whatever reason over there, so tough to beat the foot traffic, especially when selling. Either way, thanks for the site, happy to support however possible. Ive been in IT for 20+ years and literally struggle to navigate that stupid interface anyway over there.

This is all true but if we post our tech and chit-chat here and keep the good classifieds here, the foot traffic will come. They will follow the crowds. We can make it great here.

Thanks y'all.

Keep in mind the D-90.com was the first and foremost, spawned from a Yahoo Group. D-90.com has been an excellent resource but it has really fallen. NAS-ROW is a true enthusiast site as is the Discoweb, I am so glad to see Chris keep the Discoweb going and starting this site. I imagine this page will continue to grow especially with the ROW guys.

beings that I have only been in this game for about 5 minutes, I really dont know all the history, short of looking up threads over there that people reference. That said, this site has been home for me (im sure people tire of seeing my avatar at times) with building my 90. met tons of great people, and made some friends as well. that site became pretty toxic, and thankfully i found this one. classifieds will get there, as I have the hoarding gene in me, i move a lot of things around my buddy's garage (mine is full) and soon have a new to me 4 door to hoard more parts for, and ask more questions about.
