noticed quite alot of ads on bmw-sg

Re: noticed quite alot of ads on bmw-sg

yes I agree...it seems to take a long time for each page to load up even though I am on broadband..wonder if this is due to the many ads on the screen. But i must admit, good advertising as Ive checked out a few of the sites listed!

Meng,

Noted your comments.

They help fund the future additions and services for the site and forum... couple of custom applications we're developing to help connect the users better and together with content staff.

Ads are also contextually derived from the content posted, so they are relevant to the theme. Nonetheless, they do not affect the loading of the page.

I'll be adjusting and testing them over the next 2-3 weeks so they don't take up too much space or affect usability and browsing. Do let me know any additional feedback. :)
 
Re: noticed quite alot of ads on bmw-sg

u guys gotta emphatise with ryan.
to run and host a site like this is time-consuming.
i am sure ryan or whoever gotta pay domain charges, hosting charges and whatever and not to mention the time spent on it.
all of it needs money and this is where the site sponsors or ads comes in.
unless all of us are willing to pay so-called subscription charges to support the site, this is the next best alternative.
the only option for ryan is like what he said, make sure the ads dun take too long to load, affecting the webpage.
i said my piece.....and to ryan and other guys, thanks for the work on this site, really appreciate what u have provided us.

Re: noticed quite alot of ads on bmw-sg

hi all,

The slow speeds are due to intermitent downloads from another server in the rack which provides file downloads - recently, due to some adjustments in the bandwidth provider's prices, the downloads speeds have to be capped resulting in inconsistent speeds (super slow sometimes, at other times, it's fine). It should get more consistent soon.

Cheers,
Alvin.
 
good book

It's that time of year when we pack up our bags and head to the beach for the day to enjoy those warm sunrays and the refreshing sound of the lapping water.So what constitutes a good beach wardrobe. Well there are certain essentials that none of us forget. On goes the swimsuit and bathing suit cover, flip flops on our feet. Beach bag has been packed with the essentials - sunglasses, floppy hat, towel and a good book. Great - got the basics covered but what about the rest.wow goldSo if we are so prepared for a day at the beach, why is it by the time we get home we look pretty worn. Here are some helpful tips to make your day at the beach fun and keep you looking fashion fresh all day and all the way Home.wow goldFirst before you leave Home, if you've got long hair pull it into a high pony tail or fun knot. Use some funky hair accessories that will stay in place when you're swimming. Try a fun colored bobble or some firm fastening clips in bright summer colors. If you pull your hair up your neck will stay cool and you'll look fresh all day with your neat hairdo.maple story powerlevelingSecond slather yourself in sunscreen before leaving the house, then toss the sunscreen in your bag so you can reapply after a swim or every few hours. A sunburn is not only unhealthy and painful, it's unattractive, so don't let yourself turn into the lobster of the day. Your sunscreen should be a SPF of 15. It doesn't hurt to use a strong SPF on your face or your entire body if you burn easily.maple story powerlevelingYour beach bag should be large enough to hold your supplies for the day. Why not get something fun and fashionable to keep you looking fashion fresh. Make sure you've got all the daily essentials in your bag - sunglasses, sunscreen, a good book, a floppy hat, some lip gloss, and any other makeup touch ups you'll want. If you plan to wear eye makeup make sure it's waterproof. Stay away from heavy foundations. If you must apply something use a bronzer moisturizer. It's also a good idea to bring lip balm with an SPF15 to protect your lips. It never hurts to put some moisturizer in the bag. Include a snack and plenty of fluids. It's important not to get dehydrated.maple story powerlevelingOkay great we've got the basics covered now what about the wardrobe basics? If you're planning to wear a swimsuit it's usually easiest to put it on at Home, that way you're not chasing down change rooms. So great - first on goes the swimsuit. Now what to wear for a cover? Well you've got plenty of choices. A tank top and shorts, tank and skort, or a nice light cotton dress all work well over top. Choose something that's easy to put on and take off, and choose fabrics that breathe to keep you cool. I also suggest including a long sleeved cotton blouse just incase you start to burn you can protect your shoulders and arms
