I guess I build a whole site just to sell my car, LOL
There are easier ways to sell your car, to be sure! But you just might've built a site with the intention of promoting it...and your car (or a friend's) just might've been the first listing! There's nothing wrong with that. However, your initial post could be considered spam and that's not allowed on HT. Members get huhu at that!
I guess it's Saiyoot Nakkhongkham's dream project.
Hmmm...Saiyoot hasn't updated that page since 2002. Why would you promote an old classified ad type site that has only 3 ads posted? And why would you promote it as your first post here? Might you, just possibly, bear the initials, S.N.? Inquiring minds wanna know?

Actually Tutu...
I think this might be a case of... ignorance
maybe he posted his car there...then thought...hey all tell all the people at HT that I've been lurking on... and then thinking he stumbled upon something all of us might be interested in... yada yada... he sent out his post...
I'm thinking the poor guy he named in his earlier post must be feeling quite pissed that his name was posted in this fashion? If it's not him directly.
I would be... or did he have permission from the guy to post it here?

Reason: correcting post
Yep! It could be any of what you mention, Manoa. I just felt like diggin' a little deeper. It's not something I normally do but I needed a diversion from bathroom plumbing problems!
This is a message board. Telling stories is what we're all about!
If our questions are so weird, just let us know why your first post here was to advertise AlohaBulletin.com, and why all your subsequent posts are limited to this thread as well. A lot of us are web developers, and share our own projects all the time, but we do prefer everyone be up front about it. (As you'll find, though, we can be a little blunt when asked for feedback.)
I certainly don't think it's Saiyoot Nakkhongkham's project. He linked it in or before 2002 (and there was nothing there in 2001). But the domain name expired in August or September the following year, and was likely snapped up by someone else. Perhaps by whoever is developing the site now.
Looks like a basic off-the-shelf CMS (Drupal/Mambo) with a Craigslist clone module or two -- same as StudentDemand.com or eFreeList.com and a dozen other sites. Doesn't exactly scream Hawaii. Or Aloha, for that matter.
I'll stick with Craigslist. Even the nuts there make it entertaining.

Yeeah that's what I did, I told my story of I found a cool website, if you don't like my story don't read or respond to that. simple as that, better yet I 'm asking the admin to delete this.

Because I wanted to share something with you guys and you guys are so defensive.

You can think anyway you want, you think the website says "last updated 2002" really means 2002, this must be your first day on the net, maybe the dream project is finally coming true.

Maybe you should email the guys over at allohabulletin.com and suggest them to add some hibiscus/palm tree/beach pictures to make it more aloha!!
LoL, I like craigslist too, we have something in common especially those M looking for W ads, cracks me up everytime.

But knowing at least something... would keep you from being an idiot...Do you realize that your posting something to the FOUNDER of HawaiiThreads?
Posting your car on a site that has no readership... my as well just give em away.
I just think your initial post... and if your intention was to sell your car in the first place...should have just been under the Selling category (yeah you got that correct) but you did it in an underhanded way...
Why don't you just announce your car for sale in the selling part of HT and leave out the link to some wanna be craigslist clone? You might have gotten a few responses... dunno if that would work so well now.
