$18 gets me about 5.5 gallons of the good stuff.
That barely makes the non-sensical gas gauge nudge up a bit.
Don't know how you can get 1/2 a tank, Mel. I wish I had such magical gas filling station.
918 seemed like a nice guy doing some pretty cool mod work.
But then he had to stomp back into the room complaining about some female dog impersonation and unmanned banking machine. . .

$18 gets me a 30-pack of my favorite beverage, and $2 change. I'm very happy that I can afford membership and the 30-pack. If I had to choose just 1, I would select the membership, then I could sell my spare parts and buy the brewski's ! ! !

I have a friend with a 914 needing a 5.0 motor, can I post a thread asking if anyone has one?

If you never plan on buying or selling anything to other members, and you don't feel somewhat obligated to support the site. Doesn’t need the web space, see no value in the private classifieds, or visit the OT area...then I agree 100%.
There are plenty of well known, valuable people in this forum who are not paying members.
Bingo – anyone can gain this knowledge 100% free of charge.
This is why I don’t understand the bitching about the $18.
If none of the paid features trips your trigger, don’t pay and live by the rules. Easy
I have 7 vehicles in my garage spread out over 4 different makes. I also help out my family members with their cars, add to that 5 other makes.
I have yet to find any site for any of these cars that is even half the help that Rennlist is. The help we receive on this site still blows me away.
I actually did some research on this a few months ago. The traffic / bandwidth of Rennlist is far beyond most other sites I could find. And far beyond any other manufacturer specific web forum.
Some other forums I frequent are so plastered with banner ads, I would gladly pay $18 per year just to clean up those sites.

Here's a comparison between the traffic on Audiworld and Rennlist

After getting burned a month or two ago I swore I would never ever say anything about another member/user again. I learned the hard way that nobody wins in these situations.
While I certainly didn’t mean to offend anyone (and I apologize if I did)… my main objectives were to point out that we aren’t the friendliest group to newcomers and to question the pack mentality behind insisting on membership as a group.
I’ll gladly pay my $18 and hope that I don’t get banned for openly voicing my opinion. I’m just glad I don’t live in the USSR.

Alexa measures the main page hits and redirects. NOT SLDs - like forums.rennlist.com... How many of you always enter the Forums by going to https://rennlist.com - then going to the menu on that page - then clicking "Web Forums"? I'll bet none of you. If you enter the Rennlist Forum with this bookmark - http://forums.rennlist.com/ (I'll bet most of you) - then you do NOT count with Alexa (or "get counted").... If you want to "measure forum traffic" - which is the correct measurement - see below...
Second - the Audiworld website is the Portal (opening page) to their Forums. Not so Rennlist. https://rennlist.com is it's OWN website/server...
Third - Audi built and shipped over 906,000 cars last year. Porsche - how many? And if you total all Audis delivered vs. all Porsches delivered in the last 40 years, you know the difference in total production?? My guess is penetration, as a percent of ownership - is FAR higher on Rennlist than Audiworld...
Fourth - AudiWorld was recently sold to a larger business entity. We'll see what changes happen for that sale. Rennlist is still owned by Jen, myself - and invested in by us and our stakeholders. Those are Sponsors and Members. There is no one else..
Fifth - here is what you missed.. Let's measure Forum size ONLY. Go to Big-boards.com... Let's look at your comparison - Audi World vs. Rennlist. Big Boards measures ONLY the Forums/size...
Ready - AudiWorld current ranks as the 776th largest Forum for ANY Forum on the Internet.. Rennlist - where do we stand?? Currently, Rennlist ranks at 255 - again for ANY Forum on the Internet...
And nope - I'm not changing the opening page of Rennlist to be this Forum - just to self-serve for Alexa....
Have a nice evening,
John D.

It looks like Audi World has alot more visitors than Rennlist. Is Audi World free? Pelican has more visitors as well according to that site. I guess they must all be visiting a part of the site that I never go to.
