Is it just me, or is it time to tone down the
big bright red print on the home page? It's been there for 6 weeks now announcing Mville, and doesn't make me feel welcomed at all, let alone interested in the event.

Sorry for the vent, but it looks :argue:, ya know?

Marauderville is a major event for this site, and historically, we keep it up for a while as many members do not frequent the site everyday, every week or every month.

I am sorry you do not feel welcome here, due to this announcement.

This is the first complaint related to this announcement that I am aware of since I joined the site in 2004.

;)

How about weekly changing the color? There are lots to choose from. Next week PINK for Doomie. Ms D likes Purple. Blue for ScCheesegrater and so on.;)

Well, since its a major event, maybe you could fix the typos in it? Or are the double-comas part of some new English of which I'm unfamiliar?

The bright, plain red letters against a light gray background are kind of intense as a color combo. Although I don't pay it much mind, I could see where it might be off-putting for some folks.

I don't have a problem with you. :)

I really don't even know who you are.

I do have a problem with bright red font that looks like some kind of warning sign. Thankfully, fastblackmerc taught me how to make the bright red font hide. So I thanked him. :beer:

Oh, and I dislike typos. I mean, not in a hostile way. I just dislike them. I'm okay with typos in posts like these that might get read a few times, but to hang them right out front for the world to see seems like a disservice to a pretty decent community. So I offered a suggestion. :bows:

I didn't mean any hostilities in any of my posts. I was just trying to offer a suggestion.

Since I don't even know who you are I'm not sure how I would have PM'd you.

I hope you have a nice day.

No need to get dramatic over someone's suggestion.

If more people brought it up and it'd be an easy fix, I don't see why it'd be such a bother to change it for a win-win.

But since more haven't brought it up, and it's already been settled, it's a moot point now....

Dear Mercman,

Thank you for your hospitality. I am so appreciative that another owner here is addressing my conern. ;)

Also, thank you for the advice on not looking at it. I have closed the window and now I don't see it anymore. But I still appreciate your idea to not look at it. Maybe more people will not look at it if it bothers them and then they will not bother you. :rolleyes:

I didn't realize the commas were for effect. I guess they did garner my attention, much like a Dodge Neon sporting an ill-fitting aero kit and full-fartcan exhaust would.

Congratulations on your successful effort.

Dear Mr. Gpfarrell,
Thank you so much for your sarcastic posting, it's so refreshing that you can be condescending without using a swear word. Your contribution to this site, meaning your posts not money because you have donated none, is very welcomed.
As an organizer of MVXI, I am appreciative of the announcement remaining up, as we want people to build excitement by keeping it in the forefront of thought. Mercman chose red, I believe, to not only draw attention to the announcement, but also to weed out people that are easily annoyed by the color red.
Your 653 posts over the course of your membership have not noted your distaste for the color red. Perhaps it may be better to remove the announcement, it's not like we want people to show up or know anything about it. We would most definitely prefer the contributing members to the site keep a bank of 10 weeks open in the fall so we can tell them last minute what city to travel to. Not to worry though, I am quite sure you are an active participant in your local Marauder Chapter, or have attended many Marauderville's, so we will make sure you are first to be notified the day before it happens. I'll make sure that announcement is not done in red, would you care to post a color you would prefer?

Your 653 posts over the course of your membership have not noted your distaste for the color red. Perhaps it may be better to remove the announcement, it's not like we want people to show up or know anything about it. We would most definitely prefer the contributing members to the site keep a bank of 10 weeks open in the fall so we can tell them last minute what city to travel to. Not to worry though, I am quite sure you are an active participant in your local Marauder Chapter, or have attended many Marauderville's, so we will make sure you are first to be notified the day before it happens. I'll make sure that announcement is not done in red, would you care to post a color you would prefer?

Oh, and I have no distaste for red, Mr. Ponyup.

I actually have Meduim Red Metallic Glamour,, Cardinal Red,, and Guards Red.

I like all of those. Admittedly, I might like my Dark Blue Pearls more,,, and perhaps my Kona blue more too.

As an organizer of MV I'm sure you're appreciative of any suggestions I can make, so you are welcome in advance for my ideas.

Dear Mr. Gpfarrell,
Thank you so much for your sarcastic posting, it's so refreshing that you can be condescending without using a swear word. Your contribution to this site, meaning your posts not money because you have donated none, is very welcomed.
As an organizer of MVXI, I am appreciative of the announcement remaining up, as we want people to build excitement by keeping it in the forefront of thought. Mercman chose red, I believe, to not only draw attention to the announcement, but also to weed out people that are easily annoyed by the color red.

Gordon,

We've discussed this already.

Divorced, single parent, an ex-wife unwilling to switch weekends as needed, only person in IT supporting 150 people at work, etc..

Makes it kinda tough...

Guys,

I have kept this going as it has become fun, not a bash-fest, nor arguing like political and religious threads.

Greg posted he has actually laughed over some of the posts.

If he requests this thread be closed, I will do so without hesitation.

Mike.

Mike,,,
Thank you!

But the only thing here that bothers me is how quickly fellow Marauder owners will mouth-off over the interwebber. Everything else has been pretty simple or cleverly entertaining.

Thanks to all of those that have PM'd me; your support speaks volumes about the quiet class that's just below the surface of all this red noise.

Still cheerful,
Greg

I'm not sure about those, but I usually attend Carlisle. In fact, after going last year I got this cool PM:

Winner at 2012 Carlisle All Ford Nationals

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greg,

Not sure whether you stuck around for the announcement of winner's of the Carlisle plaques on Sunday morning; but I think your name was on the list for 2nd Place

I believe that you are on the list page 19, Y453 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder, Modified, #555, Farrell, Gregory >>>> http://www.carlisleevents.com/pdf/2012_Ford_Winners.pdf

You can call the Carlisle Events Staff and I think they will mail you your trophy/plaque. Contact Info is here >>>> http://www.carlisleevents.com/contact/

Congratulations.

BTW -- Your plaque will look similar to the ones that Paul and Sherm received in the thread about special recognition. I took 3rd place in MM Stock #553.

Sadly, we lost Shelby when she was just nine years old.

So, 2 1/2 years ago we brought home 2 puppies within a week, 10 weeks old, separate litters but inseparable now. Gracie is black and white with blue eyes and Emily is gray and white with blue eyes.

They are generally either chasing each other around about 3 acres of our yard, chasing wildlife out of our yard, acting as beanbags for one of our three boys, or sleeping.

Hmmmm... Let me get this straight. JustGod was,,, right,,, when he said your husky (no name specified) was with... "Him". ;) Anyway, they're good, highly intelligent animals. Really little kids at times. Here's mine. I plan on collecting enough fur to send off to Pakistan and have a beautiful rug made! :D
