Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I'm not crazy about the car on the top of the Wire. I know the movie and blah blah blah but I just don't think it belongs heading the wire. I think the WB could come up with sumthin more "old west" than that! Whady'all think? Yea or Nay?
Kiowa Kid, SASS #69870L Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 If you don't like it, suggest something to replace it. KK
Ned Buckshot, SASS #2901 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 How about the "time machine" stage from the moderatly entertaining move "Purgatory"?
Texas Jim Henry, SASS #20616 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I, too, understand the Back to the Future / time machine connection, but agree that it looks out of place here. That said, I doubt if I'll lose any sleep over it! Regards, TJH
Buckshot Frank Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I like the Delorean, but the Back to the Future movies have always been some of my favorites. I think that the slogan fits. To expand on why I think the slogan fits: You have to remember that it is an advertisment for SASS. It isn't necessarily for us since we would come to these boards no matter what the banner is. The banner is an advertisment to entise people that were interested enough to drop by. It is nice imagery: Hop in a time machine and experience the old west, but in a friendly and unthreatening "Back to the Future" way, not a dirty scary "Deadwood" way.
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 How about a stage coach that is converted into a time machine . . . . . . transports old west people into 2011
Nate Clayton, SASS #63196 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I have to kinda agree. At quick glance it looks like page ad for something unrelated. Something like this? Time Machine ? The old movie: Time Machine -Nate
Grizzly Dave Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 When I think "old west" and time machine at the same time, I come up with an image of an outhouse with wires and tubes and such hung on the outside. Two parts of the slogan, OLD WEST, and TIME MACHINE, no reason the visual couldn't just be OLD WEST. All that said, I don't much care. I would however like to see a different color scheme. I would suggest maybe trying several, one on each different forum, and see what folks like. Grizz
Doc Windshadow Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 they should use the version of the car being pushed by the steam engine if they want to use this car to make their point. for me the whole color pallet of blues that the web designer choose feels cold and uninviting
Justin O Lawman,SASS#7672 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Get Rid of the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boon Doggle Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Until I saw this thread, I thought SASS was selling advertising on the Wire. THE CAR NEEDS TO GO!
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Two parts of the slogan, OLD WEST, and TIME MACHINE, no reason the visual couldn't just be OLD WEST. Grizz BINGO!!! We have a winner.
Olen Rugged Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Why not use the train from BTTF 3? http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/YJmQXkA8SOlpriz4xLjrPA?feat=directlink Olen
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Doc made a time machine out of a steam locomotive too.
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Howdy I agree. I love the Back to the Future movies, and I think III is the best of the three, but I think the DeLorean looks out of place. How about this: Time Machine Or this: Locomotive pushing DeLorean Or even this: Sepia Version
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I have to kinda agree. At quick glance it looks like page ad for something unrelated. Something like this? Time Machine ... That's
Fairshake Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Anything that is before 1890 would be much better. This sport of ours is still growing by leaps and bounds and a lot of us old guys(I'm 63)don't think that a lot of people might visit our site that have no idea what a DeLoren is unless they purchased one with the trunk full of cocaine. Back to the future was over thirty years ago and was a great series of movies. It has no place on our forum and we are selling a idea for a sport that involves shooting not time machines.
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 1.21 Gigawatts!!!!!!!! Doc Brown is the only scientist I ever heard say Gigawatts with a soft G.
Anvil Al #59168 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Until I saw this thread, I thought SASS was selling advertising on the Wire. THE CAR NEEDS TO GO! Yep. Looks like a pop-up for a used car lot.
Yukon Charley, SASS Life #14739 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Until I saw this thread, I thought SASS was selling advertising on the Wire. THE CAR NEEDS TO GO! Yup!!!
Wyatt Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 How about http://backtothefutu...e:Timetrain.jpg
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Yep, this one would have been fine. Historically accurate Time Machine Jefro
Tom Muley Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 What car? I only come here for the guns and cowgals and cowboys.
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Don't care for the car either, but at least by reading the posts here I discover that the car is from one of the baack to the future movies. Not being a big fan of those movies I did not recognize it. At least it makes the car make a little sense for the slogan.
Oddnews SASS# 24779 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 While they're about ditching the car, they could lose the slogan, too.
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I can accept the slogan because our game is one built around the idea of fantasy, but IMO the car just takes away from the site. Maybe a pony express rider chasing a steam locomotive that is chasing a modern train, but the car just sort of jumps out at me....as someone mentioned, like one of those disliked pop-ups.
Chili Ron Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Howdy, How about Delorian Gun Carts?? I like the car and might have to try one. What does 1.21 gigawatts cost? Some guy actually converts delorians to look like the bttf machine-cool. Best CR
Samuel "Doc" Eells Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I must agree that the Back to the Future car should go. A lot of great ideas up on this thread. I would say that my favorite would involve the trains. Just my 2 cents.
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I love "Back to the Future 3" and sent this ad to Wild Shot for consideration. Haven't heard back yet and may not. It's their call on what works. Anyway, thought this might be fun and hopefully without stepping on the spirit of their creation. Delorean revision submission
Guest Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 What car? I do not have any car advertising here. Oh, wait, that because I have AdBlock & can send any pesky ads & pop-ups to the hell they came from. Chrome (or Firefox) & AdBlock. Friends don't let friends use Internet Explorer.
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I don't like the Car being there Either....... First time I opened this page after the revamp ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I shut it down ,,,,, I thought I had gotten some kind-off weird "Pop-UP" I didn't reconize it as a "Cowboy" site ..... And I still dislike that car being there ,,,,,,,,,,,, deminisses the Cowboy feel .... Jabez Cowboy
