Are the Nico forums dying? - Page 4 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

wynnEZ · 10-30-2008, 10:35 PM

Ive been a member for Nico for quite sometime now and I must say Nico will always be my home. Nico is not cluttered at all, all the advertisements are placed to the side not in the middle of the thread, the sub forums help cut down search time and allow communicate in groups such as the CA boys and the SR guys being separated. Here its all bunched into one category. I am from the Midwest area so there is more activity than over here. The moderators over there will help you with anything and will give a chance to fix your mistake, here its kinda blatant your thread gets locked asap or your banned. The things I really dont like is theres really no cars there that are appealing. Zilvia has sick builds and cars and the enviroment Im looking for. I love both sites and they both offer alot, but both have their weaknesses.

i like zilvia bc of the pictars.

Seriously though, I choose Zilvia because of one, its appeal and userface. Also, we have some of the most badass cars on here as well. Not to mention wheel fitment threads and stretched tire threads. Im sold.

Also, Mr.Meph: Pics or Ban of Mark's car!

98koukile · 10-31-2008, 09:18 AM

Zilvia has something Nico will never have... Russ. So they have a technical page with some scattered information from all different people, have you ever seen a question (besides what body kit is the dopest) that this guy can't answer?

HyperTek · 10-31-2008, 09:25 AM

i remember seriously checkin out nico for when that guy figured out how to wire the jdm digitial climate control for the s13.. theres just some techie stuff on there that you wont find here... people here are mostly concerned with wheel fitment and drop lol

Reminds me of RX7club in the way that theres soo many dam sections its a turn off. I usually stick with one section on there, the fc area. You got the FC area, FD area, then you got rotary , turbo, then you got other sections, suspension, exterior,.. etc damm soo many sections that could all fit under the car..

aziankingz · 10-31-2008, 11:58 AM

what is ZT? another forum that is pretty much gone is 240sxforums.com

usdm180sx · 10-31-2008, 12:04 PM

ZT = ziptied. Haha funny you should mention that. I'm a moderator on there. Yeah it has a different vibe. Mostly people from the east coast. It's a good forum though.

aziankingz · 10-31-2008, 12:58 PM

Marcus · 10-31-2008, 05:32 PM

soreballz · 11-01-2008, 04:36 AM

Why is this thread still open?

Is this NICO?

No.

As such, who gives a fuck? This isn't NICO... This is ZILVIA.

NICO threads belong on NICO. Not on ZILVIA.

Fuck.

sillyvia13 · 11-01-2008, 07:51 AM

"go back to being Greg Childs Lap dog"

DJButton · 11-02-2008, 10:39 AM

Silvia S14, LOL at the FA comment, WE kicked freakin fruitcake Fred out of NICO and he went over to try his hand at ruining FA too I believe. heh and so the world turns, internet is always serious bidness.

I found 1 more reason why I love zilvia...everytime I get on and run into Jacks (AZNDOCs) post, I see a new Avatar that puts a smile on my face...

All joking aside tho, I still like 240sx.org for the FAQ page up front. Thats the only reason I still remember to go there. Hell, I dont even know that place as NICO cuz I've always known it as 240sx.org. For most you guys who dont know, NICO and 240sx.org used to be 2 different entity. 240sx.org couldnt afford the bandwidth cost so the original owner sold the site to the owner of NICO, all this was circa 2002-03 ish iirc. I spent alot of time there when I was new in the game, must say I've met a couple cool cats on NICO from the east coast before I got stationed to Norcal. Only reason I got started on Zilvia was due to me moving to Northern California, which alot of members on here were from. For the most part, norcal got a tight knit 240sx community...

That seemed to be the trend with me, everytime I move, I get on a forum that alot of locals go to. When I was in NJ, I was on Importfanatix alot, met alot of cool cats there. 240sx.org when I was going up and down the east coast, met alot of cats in GA and FL. Got to norcal, zilvia. Got to Okinawa japan, I moved into zeroyon.com. But hey, im still on zilvia...

PS: Jack, who's that^^^^??? Neeeekid pix please....i mean, errrr....desert porn?

Yes Jacks pics rock! Who is that chick Jack? lol Anyways what is written above is truth.
Fact is I was on 240sx.org and socal240sx.org first before Zilvia and FA. I joined FA around the same time I joined here. in November 2001. 240sx.org went to shit when it got sold to NICO but what Nico got was all the 240sx.org faq stuff and writeups. A lot of those came from socal member as well as amorak list people.
Anyways Nico is lucky it got that stuff as well as a couple of mods who were socal240sx.org members. I don't think those people are mods there any more. I did stop going there years ago.
If the Nico forums are dying its only due to evolution and the changing face of the community for better or worse.

SilviaS14 · 11-01-2008, 11:37 AM

I remember I registed at Freshalloy in 2000 and Zilvia circa 2001. Zilvia was back then from what I remember more Z oriented. I remember comments about "NICO" on FA before the NICO management got brought in and turned FA into NICO-lite. I never bothered to register at what I saw as a virtual NOPI car show.

redtop91 · 11-03-2008, 10:35 AM

Websites have to evolve to meet demands if that involves branching out to encompass other ideas but still keeping true to the original roots, its a win win. If NICO was staunchly stuck to S chassis / Z car discussions it'd be in far greater risk of dying because traffic would ebb and tide with the popularity of the S chassis / Z car. The proverbial putting of all your apples in one basket.
