Audi Drivers Give Big Company a Mean Lawnjob
Facebook users might’ve ran across a few pissy status updates lately voicing displeasure over recent changes to the site’s operability. Folks don’t like when community sites they’ve become familiar with change with a bang. Now if the FB community was more like the users of AudiWorld.com they’d scream fuck this shit! & start their own entire new site. Los Angeles based Internet Brands, Inc. who runs Audiworld recently force-changed that beloved site’s message board system into their proprietary VBulletin system, sparking an invective laced revolt from the boards loyal keytappers – so much so that by the time Internet Brands put the board back up the veteran users had already made their own new online destination for Audi enthusiasts called QuattroWorld.com. It’s the type of thing they can’t teach you in Internet marketing class. To many net forum users their favorite boards are like their favorite bars. You walk in and see the stools and tables changed around with new pictures on the wall and strange brews on tap you’re liable to toss someone through a window- or maybe just try that new bar right across the superhighway.

Don’t piss off a bunch of bored-at-work people.
