Default Frustation with Nissan Corp and Official The yodawg Thread

So, I have been exchanging emails with Nissan corporate for a little while now. Basically they want to take some portion of the forum $$$ (which we are already having trouble running) and some of the corporate member want to be in "administrator" or "moderator" position so that they can control better how their product gets reviewed. This is something Nissan is going to do to all the Nissan related forum. I was simply the first one they asked. I told them, heck with it. I'm not doing it. If anything we'll stop talking about 370Zs. Well, since we wont' talk about 370Zs, I said the next best thing would be Theyodawg. We are changing our forum to 370Z forum to theyodawg forum. I'm in the process to change the forum url now.


Since we are going to be talking about Yo dawg stuff a lot from now on, I went ahead and made this small video for those who don’t know what “Yo Dawg” is.

Enjoy

Default Killing the fan club!

Nissan seems to be trying to prove they are a typical corporation. They can not take any criticism and are looking to make a bigger profit from their fans. They do not understand that we are a 370Z fan club taking about our love for their cars. If they want to increase fans and car sales, they should become sponsor, not try to take over! And thank you for your hard work!

If they want the url, make them pay for it. It should be worth a lot of money!

I sold my Z and I'm buying a Corvette. The Corvette forums are all working fine, GM would never do this. This is BS!

I shall paint the words "Bite Me" on top of my front and rear hamburgers in protest against these greedy corporate thugs!!!! (Do you see the irony? On one hand, it's like saying Bite Me, Nissan. But it's a hamburger, so it actually makes sense to bite into it.)

I know, I know . . .
