Hey
Please take your own advice and calm down. This community has seen hundreds of new guys leave after a massive hysterical fit, and we as a community have to take some of the responsibility for that. The new guy should also take his part of the burden.
You do not want to lose out on the knowledge and spirit here on Rennlist I can assure you, but neither do we want to lose anyone because the more of us there are surely the more diverse our knowledge and opinons/views become?
--> Moderator: please lock this thread before someone gets hurt amd all we all lose out potentially.

Interesting discussions lately on both MM ads and IB. Rennlist isn't a club run by its members. It's a business, part of IB's assets. Consequently, the are in the business of making a profit. I would think, however, that Rennlist members who are actilvey participating (posting and not lurking) are significantly important to IB. Without posters, you have a pretty sorry looking forum.
Banner ads don't bother me. Pop ups drive me nuts. Membership? Well, it's not the same as it was before. I gladly paid membership when John and Jen owned the site. It had a more mom and pops feel to it. Much like others, I was in it when it was Porschefans and Porschelist. I'm registered with Pelican, no fee there. AOL gave its membership free eventually, I wonder if Rennlist will go that route as well.

Dang this thread is starting to sound like ones in OT 
I sort of agree with the "user" ads are ads. If you dont like them dont read them. I use Firefox with adblock plus add on and dont see them at all

Does anyone know if Rodney King is a Rennlister? Maybe he could do something here...
While someone finds out; take 5 people.
Hey Ilk, Sorry I didn't respond to your offer last week. I forgot I posted it.

My feeling are so hurt! LOL - I guess both of you can go scratch! Clearly this board is full of A$$ holes - I merely answered a question with my opinion, but the that fact that I did so at time when I did not pay the 17.95 for my yearly fee makes the jerk's opinion more valid?! WHAT THE F*&K! Wow ! I couldn't possible care less about this person family situation! I gather his feelings are about equal for my family situation!
Maybe if he would have only respected another person opinion instead writing some dumb things this would not have started!
As far as my english, I am very sorry! - I Didn't realize class was in session, I guess no one here makes errors in spelling or gramma - only in character - Must be nice to be GODs!
Oh yeap - why don't you guys just quite the board becuase MM advertises here - That sounds like a great idea...My God toughen up! You are so thin skined...LOL

. I don't think you could be more clueless about this place if I were you I might tighten up my harnesses it might get bumpy if you continue along this road. As for the changes I agree Rennlist is not the same and is loosing most of its charm. I have especially noticed a lot of newcomers that are major A-holes and things are quickly sliding down hill. It is no longer the big happy family of people I can trust. Time to start putting the Buddy/Ignor list to use. Never had a need for it before.
I have no issues with adverts on the forum but I feel they have no place in my PM's.
BTW Ilko thanks for the heads up.

Guys, I posted this thread to voice my displeasure with Motor Meister's banner ad. I don't mind most of the other vendors, although I find it weird for a 928-specific banner ad to appear on the 964 forum. If I were the advertiser, I'd ask not to be charged for those impressions. I'm sure IB can figure out a way to get around that issue.
My intention was not to start a flame war, but to warn users and members alike of Motor Meister's reputation. In that I feel I've succeeded, because more people are now familiar with that company and the work they do. For that reason alone, I would like to keep the thread open, just like the SSI thread from last week should be kept open. Another bump, Lonnie?
I would also like to address the negativity between members and users. I think that sometimes it's hard to judge a person's intentions just by a couple of sentences that you see across the screen. Things are easily misunderstood in such conversations and I hope that everyone can agree on that.
We are all here because we are passionate about our cars, let's keep it in perspective and respect one another.

after 5 years on Rennlist this is the first pissing match I have ever remember seeing on the 964 side that wasnt about engine pan on / engine pan off.
