Newschoolers going corporate!!

[alpineplease]

Great job guys, stoked to see big names like Ford and some name resorts advertising on the site. Also, the Google custom search is dope, looks like you can generate some revenue from adwords. Way to take advantage of all this traffic, it was a smart decision on your part.

Sure, punk youngsters are gonna say you sold out, but really, from a business standpoint, it was the thing to do. Keep taking advantage of all this traffic, the marketing potential is tremendous.

Let me know when you drop your IPO...

 

[GhostfaceKillah]

the only way you could make the claim that NS sold out is if they were to be bought by MTV

 

[iluvBread]

FUCK THAT SHIT...THE DAY MTV BUYS OUT NS, I WILL LITERALLY BUNCH A BABY SOOOO HARD

 

[Powdered_Donuts]

mtv can lick my sac. like after work when its all sweaty. yeah.

 

[ryan.c]

yeah bro. i love bunching babies?

 

[iluvBread]

umm ya sure y not

 

[skiRay]

i dont like NS gettin bigger... i like the skiing companies advertising.. not the stupid random shit that you see new. like circuit city and lexus crap. as if anyone on here could just buy a lexus....

 

[VCharette]

^who cares as long as they pay and they make ns survive...

 

[SkiUnit03]

if mtv bought ns. man they better pay every active member 100$ through paypal. then i would be ok with it

 

[Malcolm]

i only ever clicked on one advertisement and it was an accident and i was so pissed. i just lost my ns advertisement v card to netflix

 

[Grube]

defiantly way more then $100

 

[Franny]

Yea bunching babies together is fun..............

 

[strongmark]

the site has like 475 million members, its not exactly underground as is.

might as well make some money off of it.

 

[VCharette]

yeah i lost my ns advertisement v card to netfix 2... by accident obviously haha

 

[MC_POUTINE]

guys sorry to say ns went corporate long ago. when studio 411 bought it it became corporate. And what the fuck is up with ads for republican governors?

 

[St.Steezy]

ns sold the fuck out!

 

[Tinga]

couple years too late bud. but nah theyre still legit just need some money to keep it alive. last time i checked they were still trying to get all of us guys free schwag like stickers and lanyards and such. throwing up contests just for fun and everything else. i enjoy newschoolers

 

[babujib]

yeah for sure at least theyre not keeping the money for themselves, and are sharing the wealth

 

[photowill]

ill kick it in the mouth after you punch it

babies better pray that mtv doesnt buy ns

 

[slaydave]

i dont mind ski companies but ford and fucking google is pretty weak...

 

[Ender]

id rather limit it to ski related ads only and rely on member support through donations. i know thats probably nothing compared to what they currently generate in ad revenue, but i think it would make people that much more connected to the NS community. like now you can buy the $$ signs next to your name..lame. my biggest fear is NS turning into another snowboarding.com

 

[charmander]

ns is the man now.

 

[GhostfaceKillah]

YOUR THE MAN NOW DOG
