I would like to know the reason why Dave will not provide the IP address in public.
Or.... Dave could PM me with the information which would be private, not public. No problemo, at least not in my version of reality.

tastes more like deer than chicken. its kinda dark, lean and gamey tasing. I think a kibble-fed american dog woujld taste different than a scap-fed free range south-american dog

How did I steal something that I came up with? I still have all the hand written notes from our meetings.. I'll gladly share with you. Glenn/Randy/Doug couldnt decide what to do or when to do it. I jumped. I wasnt going to sit back and "talk" about it until I was blue in the face. I actually did something (rare, I know)

I'm probably setting myself up for chiming in on this thread, but since I was at those meetings I feeling the need to speak up. I’d like to first mention that I'm really over what happened, but now I feel like I have to set the record straight as I don’t feel that Brad is being completely clear on how the takeover of the 914club site was handled.

The four of us met in person and put a rough game plan together. Glenn Stazak and Dug Wright had put the backend of the early site together, I worked on the graphic bits and Brad registered the 914club.com domain name. I think Brad was also going to try and find some sponsorship, but I can’t remember for sure. What I do remember though is that I had volunteered to register the name myself, being that I worked for an ISP and would have been able to host the domain and site for free. Once the classifieds were back up, we (including Brad) stopped nearly dead in our tracks. The classifieds work and we hadn’t met as a group to discuss where we should go next.

Brad, it wasn't until I contacted you about renewing the site’s registration did you *harshly* announce that you had your own team of web people and we weren't needed any longer. We were blown away. It's true that you owned the domain name, but we were a team and blatantly stole the project away from us. The outcome would have been a lot different had you communicated your ideas openly with the rest of the group, or went out and got your own unique domain name. The idea for 914club.com was something that Dug and I came up and you first heard about it at the meeting. You burned a handful of bridges for quite a while with that stunt.

It really is water under the bridge, but this is going to keep resurfacing as long as the story is told in a warped fashion.

Again, I’m really happy that the 914club has gathered up the 914 masses and has created such an interesting, tight-knit web community. That, along with advertising money to keep the site moving (haha), was all the four of us ever really wanted. Oh, and we wanted to attend the official Porsche Club meeting in Germany. But that was really just a sideline desire.

I don’t think I’ve left anything out, other than Barbara, but that’s a story in itself.

Randy,
Can we still go to the Porsche Club meet in Germany?

You may be able to now that the club has an official crest. That's one of the requirements.

I think that just the president and one other representative are invited. It's been a long while since I've looked into this so details have likely changed.

Yes it did! Thank you! I had totally forgotten about it when it had arrived a week or two ago. You rock. Thanks again!

A colleague and I went to a "special" restaurant in a country (which I don't want to name) where although illegal, it is still served.

It's ok. Nothing special. Wouldn't have been able to identify it had I not known what type of meat it was. Although after dinner, I did have an urge to chase after a couple of busses and pee on telephone poles.

I have all the emails. You know the ones, the ones where I said sh_t or get off the pot? Everyone had FTP access to the server. Nobody did anything. Sorry. I jumped.

I don't have them anymore, but feel free to send them my way. I'd be happy to look over them to make sure I'm getting my facts straight. randyw@sonic.net

Thanks!

wow...a lot has happened in this thread since I first looked at it.

Back on topic:

Allstate is going to cover the car. You have 30days from the purchase of a vehicle to get it insured with them. They wont cover the trailer, but no questions on the 9146.

Fax them the bill of sale and we are on our way!

Travis Neff · 08-31-2006, 02:25 PM

Cloudbuster · 08-31-2006, 02:26 PM

Awesome! Except that you're still down one trailer

Great news on the teener!!!

Too bad about the trailer though. It was a nice set-up...

Brad Roberts · 08-31-2006, 02:27 PM

No need Randy. You and I spoke without Dug and Glenn several times at RoadGlue events about "doing something". Many times we stood back in "awe" and you said "we should do something with this" .. I did.
