Considering that he is offering a discount even on his latest release (SSG10-A3), I don't think things are going too well for him :D


We’ll probably 50% of his business was UK and that’s gone tits up……

@proffrink For how long the advert running for ?

 

I think it was mentioned earlier - one week.

Based on the feedback so far: Not enough by half. I'll run a poll when it's done and see if I can get a real feel on how annoying it is.

Very very annoying. Has slowed forum down☹

That's one week too long!

It is very discombobulating ?

Potentially, but another tactic used by sub-bar businesses and those looking to rip-off governments through contracts is to set the 'price' far far higher than necessary then 'discount' it down to the actual price where they're still turning a good profit.  Can't say for sure, but one possibility.

He did use this tactic when he released his hi capa and mk23.

The initial "full" price on the website was €175 or something but already on "discount" at 135... Then, when nobody was looking, changed the full prices to 135. I think I still have a screenshot somewhere.

Uh guys... Has something happened with ultrawide optimization?  Edit: Maybe that's what it's always looked like but this god awful ad really makes it stand out

I only really use the forum on mobile except when I’m at work (oops ?) lol.

I'm finding it very hard to see past it.

Irritating comes to mind! ☹

@NOVRITSCH  You can read the feedback.  It would be a good idea to change your advert to one with a darker background to make it better to see, and hopefully get less negative responses from the forum members.

The background ad is freaking out web browser and making it run so slowly.

Yep, there ya go.

The background image can be saved at 40 quality (JPG) and it reduces it to about 180kb, much better than the current 530kb.

To be blunt it looks fucking horrible and I'll be glad when it's gone

Thought I'd poke my nose in this morning to see if there had been any developments or improvements, sadly not.

 

To be honest I think it's a shame as this is one of, if not, the last bastions for airsoft discussions in an organised and easily navigable format.

 

As a further aside, I'd also argue that the lack of action or response from the antagonist in this instance speaks a lot, at least in respect to their attitudes towards the wider community.

shame tho - the margins is where my thumbs sit on my device of choice ie my iPad - I’ve opened the site like 20+ Times already :(

It might make people the Nov site is endorsed here - without mentioning to the newbies the current shipping issues from Novritsch and any EU sites…

@proffrink For how long the advert running for ?

Fixed. One week.

Also done. Noticed this morning - IPS has a media resource management system that should have done this in the way I have it set up, but I didn't verify until the late hours of last night. Sorry about that.

It's actually incredibly illegal under EA law to advertise a permanent "reduced" price that has never been the real price, like he did with the ssg24

I know advertising is required to keep this place up and running...
BUT

This doesn't look like advertising, it looks like we're sponsoring him AND approving/promoting his products.
So for any noobs coming here, they're going to look at our site and think that we're endorsing his stuff.
Now I can't speak for anyone else, but that's not me. And I'm fairly sure it's not a lot of us.
I think most of his stuff is overpriced cheap shit (take a look at Negative airsoft's video of the AEG if you don't believe me).
In short. Yuck.

Soon???

FFS That’s what I get off my misses when I ask her for a “brew” when I’m outside in the cave ;/

 

i wonder how more frequently Mr Nov will have sales since I doubt he is doing such good business from the UK and it might also explain why lots of “Y-Tubers” with a smaller base of subs are getting lots of freebies to “unbiasedly” review said freebies to get some more sales from the young’uns :P

The advertised sale ended on 28th May. I feel double-duped, haha.
