Since this is an old and long post, I don't have time to read all the answers, so maybe somebody has discussed this before.
But, let's just say this idea is highly sucessful and this site signs up 50,000 or (being highly optimistic here) 100,000 new members.
Is everybody here okay with that?
(I can just imagine 50 new posts a day asking "What oil should I use for my INSERT MAKE/MODEL HERE?)
I realize that everybody was once a newbie on this site, but is this what everybody wants? Maybe Helen has procrastinated on this for a reason.
I don't really see this happening. Surely, there will be some clueless newbs, but for someone to remember and actually log on to the site because they saw a sticker will require them to have some interest in oil or vehicle maintenance. Most people don't care and won't even bother to remember the URL unless they actually have an interest the topic.
Besides, more site traffic will make the advertisers happy. I doubt there would be enough additional traffic to disrupt things for current members.
