Considering my past relationship with the Early Registry....I hope the mterfkers rot in he11....

Now tht is what I call being bitter, vindictive and petty..and I relish every minute of it...

pwd72s 10-18-2010 01:04 PM

Tabby, LOL! But then, I left voluntarily. Formerly member #8 in that group...

cbush 10-18-2010 01:49 PM

Wow- the hostility!

I get a lot out of the website, so would hate to lose that resource. Not an early member, but have been a member for 10 years or so now. Seem like a good bunch of folks to me.

Maybe they are..now. The gangleader of the pack that made me want to hang it up left that board in disgrace some time ago...when he left, he deleted all his posts...

Just looked at it 2 minutes ago! Seems to be up to me.

KevinP73 10-18-2010 04:30 PM

If it's still up in 4 hours should we consult a physician?

They didn't enjoy your daily meanderings on anything not Porsche related?

:p

pwd72s 10-18-2010 05:10 PM

The Tabbydoll who posts here is MUCH mellower than the one who got banned there...

Jeff Higgins 10-18-2010 07:47 PM

They simply got a new webmaster and are changing hosts, so the site is being transfered over. All of the details are available right there on the registry's site, while it is still up. When it does go down for these changes, it won't be for long.

Yeah, but no one else has ever put up a Thread that got some odd 2000 views and hundreds of Posts in five days on a 200 member Board.

And you think that is good? Do you just go looking for forums loaded with conservatives to preach to, or have you ever posted anything related to owning a Porsche? I pulled up your page and can't find a page with a post to anything but PARF or off topic.

Ya had to be there to understand...but Tabbydoll had a real knack for getting lynch mobs worked up...not as a leader of the mob. :rolleyes:

Yeah, right. It's been over 3 days and counting. I didn't want to be negative about it when I saw someone was "upgrading vBulletin," but that's something that rarely goes well, unless you simply forget about all prior posts and start over.

It was back up shortly after they made the switch. If you are using a saved url it will take you to a dead end. Enter the full address and re-save as a favorite.

... or just click here. Early 911S Registry

cbush 10-22-2010 09:37 AM

It has been back up for several days. However my old link I saved in my favorites did not work. Go to 911S registry, and then you can access the forums from there.

techweenie 10-22-2010 09:44 AM

Yes, new URL.

Early 911S Registry - The Front Page

For anyone who has worked with the new vBulletin, this is impressive. They have possibly the worst UI I've ever seen for setup.

It might be hard, but it couldn't have been that hard to pick a color. It looks pale and baby blue. I didn't like it when Wayne went to dark blue a few years ago, but the ESR is foul now.

Do you think your comment here will be seen by the new webmaster. Why not comment directly to him on earlyS.

By the way I do agree it is a bit too soft.

pwd72s 10-22-2010 10:25 AM

Does this mean Chuck Miller is no longer their webmaster? If so, I hope he gets some credit for a job well done over many years...

I have no hard feelings over leaving, it's just that it was time. Never was mad at Chuck, just at a handful who posted there.

Doesn't matter. I don't go there much, so it's not my prerogative.

Chuck was never the webmaster. He is, however, about everything else. I'd say creative director fits best. And, yes, he is a good guy. One thing about Chuck Miller that I've always wondered about is that you don't see his name on the R Gruppe roster. Nor Mike Hammond. Not that either needs the R Gruppe. Otherwise, the crossover is rather prevalent.

It is a matter of perspective there PWD...The way it worked out is that I started the ball rolling on the R Gruppe all by myself with no one in my corner...it took awhile but finally the dam burst with a Black Audi. That was when people finally realized that what I had been saying about the Gruppe was right.

"It was, "OHHH MY Gawd they are a bunch of snobs."

Zeke 10-22-2010 11:03 AM

Oh hell, the Rotary Club in any city is a bunch of snobs. Go on a Pelican run and see who shows up. It's all part of it.

It's the outcasts that are the snobs.

super9064 10-22-2010 03:29 PM

Wow, I know you guys hated RGruppe, but had no idea that you guys had such animosity for Early S Registry. I have met many of them and have yet to met a "snob"

I don't hate the R Gruppe. I'm member #334.

Then why do you bang on about it at seemingly EVERY possible opportunity?

How many times have you posted about the people that were mean to you? Or the fact you had to sell your car outside the US to keep it away from them.

My 2c - great resource/bunch of folk.

I was referring to the tone of multiple posts here, not yours individually. I just find it surprising that so many people seem to have ill feelings toward EarlySregistry. I find it a great resource.

Big difference between "had" to sell my car and "wanted" to...Indeed, part of the deal was that the car would never leave Turkish soil.

I'd warn you to not take everything you read there as gospel...many of those posting "facts" weren't around when others of us were buying and driving early cars...But, you can ignore that, drinking all the early 911 kool-aid you please...

gtc 10-22-2010 04:02 PM

There's a lot of valuable info over there, but jeez it sure wasn't organized very well. I hope the new boards are a little easier to browse.

Macroni 10-22-2010 04:19 PM

this discussion
 
Never ending ............. :(

My perspective .... (I have not been around for very long.) Probably spend too much time here and there.... most people I know hang on both boards. Met nice individuals on both boards and bought tons of parts and two cars here and there. Ask questions and for help always responded to and never denied. Created and received fellowship from kindred spirits.

I post events and drives on both boards. Early S has worked very nicely to develop our long hood & hotrod community in the mid Atlantic area. Pelican does not generate the same response for this type of activity.

Pelican's OT is in a league of its own, Cars / parts for sale and Tech are high activity forums.

I am very fond of both boards.

You missed the point. If you have no hard feelings then why do you have to keep bringing it up? Get over it.

And since you obviously have no hard feelings, why do you feel the need need to bring it up?

Read back, tabs brought it up. It just continued like everything else. You know, OT often sounds like a bunch of old women. I said I didn't like the color. How much more of an old woman can I get?
