Nah, I'm not touching that one. I'm staying away from those guys.

If PCA choses to take action, then that's their call, but beyond the opinions that I posted and were deleted I'm done with their site.

I think that the majority shares the same opinion on their choice of name, so there's little we can do beyond the sentiments already expressed.

I guess I've been banned now. My log-in does not work anymore...

Wow. That's about as defensive a website I have seen. Oh well.

Hmmm, "a community within a community." Maybe PCA really stands for "Pennsylvania, Cows and Amish." Now it's all beginning to make sense!

The funny thing is that a PCAforum banned member that has been complaining on here about PCA forums has deleted posts and members and screen names on a P-car related forum that he administers!

Legal or not, I don't think it's ethical. And customers don't like being lied to.

I agree

That is the best way yet of explaining it I feel.

Those retards don't even have a forum for us 928'ers. It's not like our 928 forum here is slacking in activity.

I think that one will go down in flames real soon.

The admin is a rennlist member:
https://rennlist.com/forums/members/57235-tilly.html

Eric T. = Tilly

I'm sure y'all figured that out quickly, but when I went to go check it out I immediately recognized the autocross pictures he posted as a series he also posted here, in the autocross forum, a while back.

While I'm not as rabid about it as some people, I'm a bit annoyed about the hijack of PCA in their site's name. If they really don't mean it to be a hook, they should just change it and add a redirect. I predict nothing good will come for them with their attitude and approach. :/

I check there once in a while and it looks like we have more posts here talking about them than they have in total posts.

I thinks it's safe to say that PCA members first thought it was a real PCA site and once they knew it wasn't, they bailed.

They've been sitting at 140 members for days. No new posts at all in past 24 hours. But now for the bad news -- I'm still NOT banned.
