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...

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

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
