Threads and posts are not "traffic" as the term is generally used in the Internet biz. See, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_traffic.
I think (with no evidence) that Zippy is right about current traffic volume...6speed's is greater than Rennlist's...for whatever that is worth. But so what...both are very entertaining. What purpose would it serve if 6speed cranked up a "WTF" thread about Rennlist... other than to damage both forums. For me, I would not want to lose either source of great information.

How else would you propose to measure traffic for an internet forum? Forums aren't webpages with static content. Yes, 6speedonline's 996 and 997 Turbo subforums clearly get more traffic than the 996 and 997 Turbo subforums on Rennlist, who ever said otherwise? Rennlist gets far more traffic overall. In addition to have more than 4 times as many threads and posts, Rennlist also has approximately 4 times as many members. I don't see how these numbers can be argued with.

With that said, who cares? Both forums have great content, but the big difference to me is that Rennlist functions properly and 6speed doesn't. Most new users can't post for months, the search function doesn't work, the attachment feature doesn't work, the time and date are wrong, etc. This has been ongoing for years and it could all be fixed in minutes, so why isn't any of it? If I were a sponsor, I'd be livid.

As for a WTF thread about Rennlist, I don't see anyone unable to sign up for Rennlist, let alone any Rennlist contributors getting ripped off (https://rennlist.com/forums/showpost...3&postcount=74), so I guess there is no need for one? Unless you want to complain about some of the MOD THE DRIVER NOT THE CAR old ladies on here.

I don't see why any 6speed fans are offended by this thread, hopefully it will provoke the administrators over there to man up and fix all of the problems that plague their site.

Comet - I believe we are in the 996TT forum. Who cares how active either sites members are in the "vintage" categories? I can post here, come back a few days later and find only a few posts ahead of mine. On 6Speed, you're onto page 2 in a few hours unless you get a bump.

But as I said before, I like both sites. Loosen up your panties.

Lighten up, Francis. Someone said one site gets more traffic than the other and I agreed.

BTW, 993, 993 Turbo, 996, 997, GT2/GT3, Boxster, Cayman, and Cayenne subforums on here get way more traffic than the 6speed equivalents. Not exactly vintage, but whatever... 6speed is definitely the place to discuss your 996 or 997 Turbo. Maybe you should send a PayPal donation to become a "Platinum Supporter" and report back to us when you get your 3 stars.

I sense snotty arrogance, but I don't have a clue what your talking about. Are you suggesting your going to become a Rennlist member? Forgive me if my interpretation is incorrect.
