for a person (me) that is honestly researching at the "extra power" options available for the 928 i am/was enjoying these turbo threads. having them deleted when someone decides for whatever reason it is in the "communities best interest" and to protect the community from a "group buy" rip-off is understandable but i for one do not need ANYONE telling me how, where and on what to spend my money and research time.

i'm a paying member (as most are) and and i believe that unless there is overwhelming votes to delete a post that is intented to inform and "school" members, post should not be deleted just because they don't fall into the PC way of your power goals.

had i known that this forum was so damn biased about turbo's i would just stayed a "user" and saved my 39 bucks and passed on the cheesy assed membership card...

i agree that paying sponsors should always have the support but to prevent people from learning and thinking about new stuff is wrong.

and i do not believe that it is a group buy protection because i just commited 130 bucks of my own for a new bling tool, no one deleting that shiat are they and protecting me from sending my money to someone (and yes i know turbos will cost more that the blibg tool)???

in summary, deleting these turbo post is fu'ked up and irritates the crap out of me...

getting down off my horse..

I can't find it either. I did not see a reason for its removal except for personal vedetta. If Randy sent this one into the great unknown, I for one call him on it. If you did that Randy , your an *** and you will be the reason I do not re-up membership this year. I don't know John, but I respect his work and the opportunity he provides as well as consider him an asset to the 928 community. Not to mention, THAT WAS ONE DAMN INTERESTING THREAD RANDY.

I do not have any "inside" information, but I can guarantee you this particular thread deletion (or any other) had nothing to do with any bias for or against any type of forced induction.

I would bet both of my 928's on that fact.

Those of you who think there is some type of anti-turbo conspiracy really need to open your eyes and take off the tin foil hat.

For the record, the RMT thread is alive and well.

I have contacted John about this

AGAIN, if there is a post that out of line, delete the post and contact that member. But there is NO reason to delete entire threads.

If this was done because a sponsor complained then please speak up, i suspect not though. The basis of this twin turbo thread was more of a joke then anything and i for one was somewhat harsh when the price was listed because i suspected it was too high. But i am tired of having information disappear and I want someone to tell me why these threads are disappearing.

And people still ask us why we don't care to sponsor R-list anymore...

I actually enjoyed arguing with "him" over his turbo/supercharger views but he is not on here trying to sell his wares. I didn't see a valid reason to delete the thread. Any improvements available for 928's should be allowed to be discussed on a 928 forum short of non-sponsors attempting sales.

You are looking way deeper into this then really necessary. I have my theories, but since I have no proof I am not going to share them.

I just think it's very unfair (in this situation) to have any hard feelings towards John D or Randy. I'm not saying I like the situation at hand, but to line up the lynch mob towards our moderators is not a fair way to look at this.

Eric, I consider you a friend but dude, come on! This thread being deleted is bull**** on any count. The thread was innocent and very interesting. I am refusing to believe you would go to this level of ***-kissing based on what I know of you.
