Ack's FAQ Now Has A Site Menu
Now you can find stuff at Ack's FAQ the "hard way" by clicking on Site Map in the menu bar.
Why would anyone want to do this?
Sometimes folks just want to do things "old school". Sometimes web pages are easier to find that way.
Why would Ack want to add such a feature to Ack's FAQ?
If you ever tried to use Google (or any other search engine for that matter) to find information about your Samurai, Sidekick, Tracker or Vitara, you almost NEVER find a link to Ack's FAQ!
That is because those pesky search engine Bots NEVER look at the FAQ search database! They only look for physical links in a site's static HTML webpages. Since the search results that you see are created dynamically through your search input, the Bots and Spiders find about Three-tenths of a percent (!) of the actual content of Ack's FAQ.
How do I connect all that great information at Ack's FAQ to the search engines? Create a Site Map! The site map page contains all the links in the search database at Ack's FAQ. That means the Bots and Spiders can find the juicy content and include it their search engine databases!
Be looking for more search engine results that point to Ack's FAQ in the future!

ZookiMelt '10 and my Internet pet peeve...
Planning continues behind the scenes for ZookiMelt '10.
The webpage is moving along and tentative discussions are proceeding. Mostly, we are all working on getting through the upcoming holiday seasons so that afterwards, serious attention can be given to how this event will be the Mother Of All ZookiMelts.
Remember - ZookiMelt '10 will, unfortunately, not be affiliated with iZook.com. If you want to volunteer or have ideas for ZookiMelt '10, feel free to email/PM either purevil71, redbeard or ack!
Keep watching here and on many of the popular Zukin' forums for details as they become available!
My Pet Peeve...
As some of you may have noticed, when I post I tend to display rather advanced writing skills. Stuff like correct spelling (mostly), the correct use of punctuation and proper sentence construction. These skills, when properly used, make posts easy to understand and therefore very informative.
It really ticks me off when I run across the following posts:
A post with zero replies because the writer was so bad at communicating that nobody wanted to get involved in a thread that, for all intents, would turn out to be pointless in terms of trying to communicate with the original poster. Often such threads turn ugly because the Original Poster took offence at the comments of others concerning his communication skills.
Posts with words like "axel", "break" and "Samuria". Gee, did these posters actually make it to High School??? If you can't spell even the most rudimentary words assocated with our hobby, maybe you need to get that GED or take a Remedial English course at the Community College! "Please help me change my timming belt." "Can I put a 351 Windser in my Samuria???" If you don't want to take the time to express yourself clearly, maybe you should look elsewhere for help...
Post replies written by Pinheads. Pinheads - to me - are anyone who posts to see his words on the itnernet. Pinheads usually have nothing constructive to add to a thread. Often, they post incorrect information declaring it to be Gospel. Sometimes Pinheads don't know how to spel or put together a decent sentence - which amplifies incorrect drivel they spout. Also, Pinheads NEVER admit to being wrong.
I feel much better with that off my chest...

Ack's FAQ is UNSTOPPABLE!
...Actually, I am making changes behind the scene to further secure the future of Ack's FAQ.
First, I would like to thank all the folks who have kindly donated to keep Ack's FAQ running. You all are helping to keep the spirit of Paying It Forward alive! Your donations also reduce the existance of the advertising structure on the website. The LAST thing that I want to do is turn Ack's FAQ into the same slowly-dying advertising pig that the offroad.com forums have become. Your donations will be used to pay the Internet Service Provider bill.
Speaking of Internet Service Providers, Ack's FAQ is moving to a new one! All the same features - including bandwidth - that makes Ack's FAQ work for one fourth the cost!
The changeover will occur around August 31, 2009.
The only folks that won't be happy with this move will be the old Internet Service Provider! Oh well...
