February 25, 2009 First Limited Donate-only Parking Spot, and Weekly Awards!
07:13am by Cheechoo (Site)
Greetings vDreamers! Today we released the first Donation-only parking spot in the history of vDream. We are a San Francisco-based team, so what better way to celebrate, than a beautiful shot from Ocean Beach looking at one of the seven wonders of the modern world – the Golden Gate Bridge!
The Charon parking spot didn’t sell out as fast as we thought it was going to, so we figured the demand wasn’t as high for an easily available parking spot. Please think of all paypal transactions on vDream as what they are – Donations! The money is going straight to Joyent, who provide us with their great servers, and to our outsourced team of artists. vDream officially consists of four employees, two of which work for free, and the remaining two who haven’t received a paycheck since November. Donations are very much appreciated, and they go straight to ensuring the life of vDream, and making sure we can continue to release cars, features, and to support the website.
We just wanted to make sure you guys didn’t think the money for parking spots and collectibles wasn’t going to prime ribs.
Either way, here are this week’s awards!
Every week, we recognize the most active user, the user with the most losses, and a user with a unique car, with 5000 vDollars and mention in the blog and announcements!
Most Active: Andrew James, with 496 – one of our longtime users! Great job with the VDI Andrew!
Most Losses: Anthony Manton, with 198 losses. Great job Anthony, you’ve earned the reward!
Car of the Week: Andrew James, our first dual-winner, with a nice looking black-topped yellow-bottomed S197 Mustang! Keep up the good work, Andrew, your loyalty is recognized!

This has nothing to do with the parking spot, but the an accessibility issue on the site. The top navigation (The Track, Garage, etc.) are not clickable when you are in the corresponding section. This is an issue for me sometimes because sometimes you reach a deadend where you can’t access the rest of the pages within that section (e.g. The Track).
I’ll give you an example. I was viewing a bunch of people’s garages and then wanted to go back to Challenges. The only way I could do that is to go back 20 pages or click “Garage” and then “The Track”.

where do we paypal at?
- 03:22pmby dutch

February 25, 2009
Michael- I know what you mean. I just do the “garage” to “the track” trick.
Dutch- Go to your “garage” tab, and then click on the banner that is advertising the garage space. Inside that box is a link to “Pay with PayPal” If that doesn’t answer your question, post back up here and let us know.

haha yuriy that gtr is really evil – but somehow its eyes never glow that much when it’s challenging me, i guess it’s afraid of something…
the more i look at the SF parking spot pic the more i have to say it really looks awesome! no comparison to the canalization spot we got last time hehe

February 26, 2009
guyyss…. problem… i accepted some pending challenges, and now i cant challenge anyone else….
Accepting other challenges uses up the 20…..
- 02:10amby Patrick
-
February 26, 2009
Accepting challenges doesn’t use up your 20/day. Our day resets at 6:00pm PST, instead of anything that makes sense. So maybe you used up all your challenges yesterday, and came back thinking they should be reset, but they weren’t yet because of our weird server time.

February 26, 2009
Oh, whoops. Must have been 4:00 PM PST, I think that makes more sense. Thanks Yuriy. =)

yuriy, that GT-R needs a white belly and a fin on the top, then you need it to devour people and leave a lot of fake blood along the way.
its a jaws analogy

Hey cheech, its 6 for me here…. i come on every day around that time, so i know i always have fresh challenges. It said i had 20, but then after clicking accept for the pending challenges, it started going down….
- 12:04amby Patrick
-
February 27, 2009
Ooopps, scratch that… it does decrease your challenges if you accept the pending ones, but if you go to send some, the counter renews. Sorry, its all good
