Just a quick note to thank Eric for all the effort and positive persistence of the past...you created a great site... and to thank the new team for keeping the spirit, knowledge and collaboration of this great resource available for all 968'rs. Although, I am a quiet member, I visit this site nearly every day to learn how to restore and maintain my 968. Again, thank you.

Wow, it seems like a long time ago when www.968.net was the only website for 968 lovers. Then that website went thru a terrible spam attack and left us all frustrated. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Eric took the lead (he also did that when he flew in from Calif to PA for the 2003 Celebration and brought all kinds of door prizes for the group) and has developed a first class website and chat room for 968 lovers. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> I know Bob, Pete and Jay personally and they are all professional businessmen who really are infatuated with the 968 (thank god). Pete, I found out recently, builds Firehawk racecars for 968 owners and registered his own 968 FirehawK on the PCA 968 Register a few weeks ago.



I notice that many of the 234 PCA 968 Register members are on this website all the time and I think that is indicative of the perceived positive value of this site. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Eric, stay in touch. Bob, Pete and Jay you have big shoes to fill but I think your enthusiasm and experience will make this website become even better.

Thanks for the kind words!!! I think you guys have a good crew to keep the site moving on the right path.





FYI I posted the following on Rennlist. All of the new members that had been waiting for close to 2 months. I do apologize it was never my intention to let it get that bad. Thanks for hanging in there and enjoy the years of archived information you will find it extremely valuable.

I was notified this evening of this thread. Sorry to disappoint those who had conspiracy theories. I validated 84 members out of about a 700 in the queue. This was after Joel sent me a pleading email sent to my personal corporate email address. I truly felt guilty for letting him hang for so long. I stopped what I was doing and went through and validated people for an hour. All of these accounts were pending validation and most were spammers. I started a new position 6 weeks ago running an entire sales organization with an agenda to completely rebrand the company and implement new systems of automation. In parallel higher a new staff and continue with day to day sales efforts while traveling all over the country. Needless to say I have been limited on free time. Actually free time has been non existent. I do apologize to everyone who has been waiting to get validated. It was never my intention to have it get this bad.



The good news... I trained the new owners yesterday on the back end system. It's not too complicated and they get it. So validating should now be conducted on a daily basis per their comments.



It was a fun ride but I said this a long time ago, I would not abandon the site like .net. I really do believe the right set of guys are in place to continue what I started. The site needs to evolve with community and I was no longer able to support the growth.



Good luck to the site, the new owners and the loyal members. I encourage all of you to leave the past behind you, grow up and be the better person. The 968 community is too small to sweat the small stuff. All of you are good people and it was my pleasure.



PS. I am Porscheless I have had my E55 for almost a year after selling the TTX50. Overall It's been one of my favorite cars to own. I am now anxious to see if MB TT's the E63 as rumored Not sure when I will be back in the Porsche community but I will be back someday.



Again thanks for the memories!

Keep up the good work! - Now that, I think, was my first post here, but the site has been invaluable in researching what to look for recently when purchasing my 968 Cab, and probably will continue to be as I work through to make it perfect...

Many thanks to our three UberFriends Flash <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , Pete <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/ninja.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , and Jay <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/biggrin.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , who have smoothly taken the baton from Eric without anyone missing a stride.



Eric <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wub.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , thanks -- you did a great job with the forum and we all appreciate the solid foundation you created, upon which our forum is built.



I say "our" forum because this place really does belong to the members. It wouldn't be so spectacular without the enthusiasm, friendliness, and gracious spirit of the members. It feels like a safety zone in the sea of choppy water forums out there. Thanks to all members who contribute ideas, suggestions, questions, and comraderie.



It's an amazing wealth of information, and thank you Flash for taking on the daunting task of helping to make it easier to find what we want when we want. "Search" is great, but it can make hunting for things a big task, so thanks for setting up new categories and for acting quickly to make changes based on everyone's feedback.



This forum has certainly made my 968 ownership a great experience. Not only do I get great advice and technical information, I also have made lots of great friends who share my delight with this classically beautiful car.



Thanks again, Pete, Jay, and Flash!!!

I'm a little late to the party, been somewhat distracted with a 928 purchase, <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />, but I'm still loving my 968, so a big thanks goes out to you guys for keeping the site alive and well.
