Which came first...

Rennlist or Pelican Parts? I mean the way the forums are designed. They are identical, almost. Pelican has more bling.

Rennlist can trace it's roots back to PorschePhiles back in the Olden Days; I thin I joined back in '91 or so, and they'd been going a while before that. I think rennlist had a web-based forum before PP.

WB,

1991 - Rennlist. That's a long time. If you go there now, it looks just like Pelican. I imagine Rennlist changed the way it looked.

Did Pelican copy Rennlist or did Renlist copy Pelican?

I would guess neither. The current Rennlist format is the third iteration in as many years, with different software changing the look. Now it is the same software (vBulletin), and the organization is logicly similar (911, 944, OT, etc) it stands to reason there would be a similar look and feel.

In fact because of vBulletin, most internet forums, regardless of subject have a similar look and feel.

They recently changed to the current format but they are still also running a separate, e-mail list.

For me, it seems the two have different crowd with Pelican having a greater DIY flavor.
