F.A.Q.

(frequently asked questions)

From the old Parking Lot Pros forum

The Parking Lot Pros forum began back in 1998 on my home page, www.robertliles.com. Parking lot stripers from around the world soon started visiting. It quickly outgrew the original software, and I had to upgrade a couple of times in order to accommodate the high traffic and large numbers of posts. At the time of the last upgrade, over 14,000 post had been made.

Thanks to Karl Overn for downloading and compiling some of the common questions and answers from the past forums.  I have put these together and linked the posts to form a sort of Frequently Asked Questions section.  I encourage new visitors to go through the parts that interest them.  There's a million dollars worth of information on Parking Lot Planet.  Special thanks to all the original posters for all their wisdom and humor.

Keep in mind that a lot of different opinions are found here, and not all of them are right.  Please use your own good judgment.  Also remember that these are old posts, we all have learned a lot since then.

Note: these archives were compiled from past Parking Lot Planet Forums.  The answers and opinions are those of the posters.  Things may have changed since then, so be sure to get up to date information from the current Parking Lot Planet forum
