Site Changes & New Ownership [Archive]

Naich

08-01-2009, 07:43 AM

To my fellow Aleromod.com members:

In 2001, I registered the domain name “Aleromod.com” with the idea that I would create a website that would act as a list of all available modifications for Aleros, along with providing reviews and links for products. Once I installed the forum software, it quickly took off, and the site quickly grew into a very fun and rather large community. In fact, the site became more popular than I could ever have expected.

There have been many ups and downs over the years, and a surprising number of members have been active for all 8 years of this communities’ existence. With this in mind, I have decided to accept an offer from a group of these long-time members, who have offered to purchase the website from me. This group includes Oldsman, kwhauck, Oldsnut, and Redog.

It is no secret that I have not had a lot of spare time to maintain and update the site, and that is primarily the reason why I am giving it up to the control of people who I know are dedicated to the Alero community and the larger Oldsmobile community. I would not have considered relinquishing control to any other people, and I am fully confident that they will be able to take care of things better than I can at this point in my life.

I do not plan on leaving the community, and I will remain as an administrator for the time being. All members who have already purchased a VIP membership will receive their decals from me. However, moving forward, these functions will be handled by Scott (Oldsman).

When I started the site in 2001, I was an underemployed college student with a lot of spare time on my hands. I was able to dedicate a lot of time and effort into updating and designing art for the site. As the years have gone by, I have finished college, gotten a real job with a large company, and have gone back to school for my graduate degree. Couple school and work with the fact that my mother-in-law is presently in a 4 year battle with breast/brain cancer, and the fact that I am a few months away from being a new dad, I am struggling to find the time required to maintain the site. It has really been about 2 years since I’ve had the free time required to maintain the site at the level I would have liked to.

I know some of you have been annoyed with me for the lack of software updates, but I just ask that you have some understanding that it is not from lack of wanting. Also, since I am planning on selling my Alero, it seems right to give up control of the site to people who have been in the community so long and have dedicated so much to make it work.
Oldsman, Oldsnut, kwhauck, and Redog are a great group of guys. I have full confidence that they will keep the community going strong. They have already contributed so much to the site and community.

So in summary, I would like to welcome in Oldsman, Oldsnut, kwhauck, and Redog as the new owners of the site. It has been my honor and privilege to have founded this site and to have run it for these last almost 9 years. There have been a lot of ups and downs, and I have made a few enemies but overwhelmingly more friends. I urge you all to accept our new ownership group and to bear with them as they assume control of the site.

Thanks for the great times and memories.

This comes as a huge surprise to me (I didn't even know you were in discussions with anyone about selling the site), but in a way it's to be expected. You've been instrumental in keeping the Alero name alive and will forever be considered the godfather of Aleromod.com. Thank you for all of your work over the years.

And best of luck with Mer's mom.

08-01-2009, 08:17 AM

Once again a big thanks to Nick for giving us this great site!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We look forward to updating the site, adding site sponsors, moderators, and putting our little touch on Aleromod. It may take us a few months to get everything all done. We will be getting the VIP back up and going as soon as possible.

We do have some good plans for the site but for the most part they are just enhancements. We don't plan on really changing the site from what we all come to love.

So if anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

Thanks for creating this site Nick! It is one of the better car forums Ive been to.

After meeting most of the guys that are now the owners (all but kwa) I know this place will be in good hands. Just think of what this place was like when Nick had spare time now times it by four.

Cant wait to see what will happen.

Scot, Andy, Kyle and myself already have spoken on the phone about the things that we plan on doing on here. I think everybody will be pleased.

After meeting a lot of you in person, and talking with you on the board, I know that this will be a great and postive experience and with a lot of retail experience behind me, I know I'll be able to keep people happy, within reason.

All 4 of us lead very active and busy lives, but with 4 of us I'm sure that any problems that arise will be solved quickly.

We are going to have to ask for everybody to bear with us for the first few weeks. ;)

Nick,

Thank you for starting this site. Over the years, not only did we get to learn about our Alero's but if it was not for this site, we would not had a chance to meet and become friends with some of the most awesome people we have over years. Just know that the site you started, faculitated that for a lot of people. Not only do we have some of coolest cars out there, but we have some great people on this board.

Nick- Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The Kintz Family.

Congrats to you and your wife on the upcoming new addition....... another Nick, is the world really ready. LOL

I am extremely excited to be part of the new future of Aleromod. This has been in discussion for awhile and am proud to be a part of this group of owners that will keep the site moving forward for the positive.

A big thanks to Naich for giving up this chance to purchase Aleromod from him. Hopefully this will give him a little more free time to concentrate on his family and job. My prayers are with you and your family Naich as the battle continues.

And to all the people who say kwhauck? I may have been a little harsh over the years to some potential new comers, but the fact of the matter is that I know Naich personally and have been a part of aleromod for a most of the 9 years that is has been running. I will never sell the alero, most importantly, I will always be dedicated to oldsmobiles and keeping the community moving forward.........

that is all.......

Nick, Thanks for the site, it IS very useful when the Newbies or (alero firstborns) get this car and wonder what can they do to it and for it. I know from PERSONAL experience that searching through the old threads before posting made me find the transition a lot easier.
Anyway, Congrats on your upcoming Newbie in your family, and let you ma-in-law know that we are all pulling for her!

Oldsman (Scott),
I am glad to see that this has happened for you as I remember talking to you about it.

Redog (Ken),
Congrats, also on becoming part of this. I know how you work and that you get stuff done.

Oldnuts (Andy)...LOL,
I am also excited to here that you are a part of this too, even if you WERE the waiter at "the last supper." ROTF.

Kwhauck (Kyle)
I dont know you that well, but I know enough to say this; You ARE an asshole to the newbies! However, I found your attitude to be challenging and that is why I stayed. I asked questions and you shot me out of the sky. I asked more and you continued to shoot me down, then you started laying off of me and attacking the newer members. I BELIEVE that this is a GREAT way of weeding out the newbies that only want certain information to a "couple" of questions and then become ghost on the site. I have asked you questions in the recent past, and you have responded in a manner that seems as if me and you were friends from the get-go. I appreciate the fact of your up-front harshness, it makes people either grow thicker skin or go away.

To say the least, I am VERY EXCITED to be a member of this site with the new owners. I am also excited at seeing that these new owners are familiar AND FRIENDLY people that I have personally met (and partied with (with the exception of Kwhauck, at least until then summer meet))! I feel as we (ALL members) are about to become a very close FAMILY. If anyone doesnt believe me, then show up to the next A.S.S. and find out how EVERYONE takes care of EACH OTHER!
I personally, helped out my roomie when I didn't really know him. (Great guy though, as long as he aint complaining that the air conditioner doesn't want to cuddle, LMAO)
I helped out taking care of a un-named drunk person, because they were a part of our group.
In return, some GREAT people helped me out when I realised that I didn't have enough money to make it home.
These are just some instances that I can ASSUME are going to happen again in the future. I want to say thank you to all the people that have made my stay at this website very informative, helpful, stressful (A.R.), and rewarding; Thank you ALL!

For those of you who are concerned about some of the new owners, let me just say that I have personally met ever single one of these guys with the exception of Oldsnut. They are all outstanding people.

Also, in case anybody is wondering, I am in the process of ordering all the VIP decals I owe people, and I will place the order on Monday. I expect to be able to ship them out by mid-august.

Skins were discussed in our first conference call and will be coming in the future, when we don't know exactly. We are just trying to get everyone on board as Mods etc.

wow i somehow just found this thread. it kinda surprises me. but a big thanks to you naich for being the founder, this is by far the best online fourm i have ever been around. i love it on here, and i don't know what i would do with my time without this site.

as for the new owners, although i have never met anybody personally, from what i have experienced with you on here i believe you are the perfect people to take over. i know the site will be maintained well, not shut down, and be owned by true oldsmobile lovers. good luck to you all, and thanks you again to naich for getting the site originally going.

Yes, technically it is but that covers many other areas. We can seperate bodywork/paint into a sub section.

Skins were discussed in our first conference call and will be coming in the future, when we don't know exactly. We are just trying to get everyone on board as Mods etc.

If a Favicon is what keeps you from bookmarking Aleromod and is your biggest worry in life then GOD Bless ya. :rolleyes2:

Well I don't actually need it bookmarked, Chrome automatically saves my most visted sites and displays them in each new tab. What I do, however, is save all my other favorite sites in the bookmark bar and remove the text, so I rely on the favicon to discern what takes me where.

Here's a small part of mine:

How about a real performance section, or remove performance from the current section and let it go.

i would love to have a real performance section, but there are not that many people that are interested in real performance, the ones that are interested like myself, take most of the serious performance talk to 60degreev6....

it's not the section name's fault, it's the members, not too many are here that do a lot with their engines

Congrats to the new owners, I'm sure they will take good care of the place.

Naich, good luck and God bless. I remember when this place started. Its come a loong way. Congrats on the little one, and I'll keep your family in my prayers. I fully understand about life eating into free time, see my time spent here over the years ;) Glad to see you have your priorities straight.

Can we have a special subsection in the persormance section for those of us who want to get some REAL power by using things like turbonators and ebay chips?

08-16-2009, 11:43 PM

Well I don't really care what the limitations are for everyone, but the performance section right now is not performance at all. Calling it simply engine specific and have anything engine related there would be fine. That is how it is being used right now.

we need a "problem and solution" section. where all the common problems go, and then can be looked up later

troubleshooting?

nate... you know there is a "common questions and trouble shooting" section, right??

and whitev6, when i originally signed up, i thought if it decreased my performance, i should put it in there to find out how to get it back.... obviously thats not the case now.

jackal2000

08-17-2009, 08:56 AM

the term performance is pretty vague in and of itself. some people take it as adding hp while others consider anything that effects how the engine runs to be performance related. i can see both sides. perhaps adding a 'modified' subsection to each engine type category would help distinguish what is supposed to be posted where.

thanks for the site I never thought that there was such a site when I got my alero back in 02 ? but I learned alot of what to do and learned alot of what not to do (thanks AR aka AD or something ). I will be here for a while but my new focus is in the sq and spl competion, this is some thing I have always wanted to do so I have the ablity and passion to do it so I am going to try.

but I would like to thank all who ran this site, It is one of the best sites that I have found, thanks again for keeping the site clean and bs free (for the most part)

C2;487849']and likewise to j-body.org

it's not the section name's fault, it's the members, not too many are here that do a lot with their engines

I think one of the biggest problems is that there is a ton of information, but it's spread around and most of the time after you search once, you cannot locate something again. Leading to an entirely different point of view on your topic.
I'm all for the engine upgrades, but finding concrete turbo/SC info for the eco is as effective as shooting spitballs at a rhino...
