Just curious because seems like very little activity over there.
These are the Board stats as of now:
154 user(s) active in the past 30 minutes
148 guests, 6 members, 0 anonymous members

Think it should be

All the time
Sometimes
Waste of my time
Wouldn't go there for anything ever.

I would guess most of the "guest" stats are things like google bots, etc and not actual people.

I check in every few days to see if anything interesting is being discussed. Scan the classifieds as well.

I go there sometimes. Not often. I don't have time to surf every site.

When board. Not often. But same with the bird.

Posted by: iamchappy Oct 17 2012, 07:34 PM

Sometimes when this site is down....

Posted by: 76-914 Oct 17 2012, 07:50 PM

I started off there and found World a few weeks later. I know some of the guys that are World/Narp members so I naturally gravitate to those boards. About 99.75% of the time.

Posted by: 914itis Oct 17 2012, 07:54 PM

Waste of time. Nothing of interest .

Posted by: Dr Evil Oct 17 2012, 08:17 PM

Nope. Maybe when this site is down, and only when someone there calls my attention to a thread.

Posted by: Mark Henry Oct 17 2012, 09:04 PM

Once every couple of months I'll peek in....maybe...

Posted by: 914 Oct 17 2012, 09:09 PM

After ordering some parts from them and going thru the issues of ordering/returning the parts the site turned me Off..Only ck it out once and a while..

The club is very much like myspace. I do pop in from time to time to read old threads.

Posted by: ThinAir Oct 17 2012, 11:19 PM

When I visit, I always sign in as myself, but I can't remember the last time I was there - probably at least a year ago, maybe longer.

Posted by: '73-914kid Oct 17 2012, 11:51 PM

This site shares all of the historical and backed-up posts/threads since before the original split. There's no need to go on there looking at old threads. The only ones worth going back over are here anyways.

Posted by: ScoopLV Oct 18 2012, 01:10 AM

I like the fact that there is a download section over there. There isn't a whole lot IN the download section, but there's some stuff.

I'm too new here to know anything about "the split."

Posted by: euro911 Oct 18 2012, 01:38 AM

I started out on Club in 2006. After the split, was on NARP most of the time. Started spending more time here a couple of years ago, very seldom visit Club anymore ...

Been on Pelican since 2000.

I had a bad experience with AA ten years ago and still avoid George whenever possible, but I go by every two or three months just to check, kind of like when you drive past the house where you grew up to see how they're keeping up the yard. Not many hanging out there, Trekkor, Krusty, Chris, a few others. It's got to get lonely, they had four new subjects in their Garage forum on the 17th, when there were nearly 40 here.

What's funny is that at the split I thought Club would stay more technical and serious, and this board would tend toward more social. George taking over the Club reinforced that expectation, but today I don't see a big difference. More newbies and chat here, probably in function of the higher volume of posts, but overall technical/social content seems to be pretty balanced between the two boards. That means because of the large difference in volume of posts there's a lot more technical data here than there, a resource that will tend to draw even more activity and growth here. Hmmm... how much did George pay for the Club site?

Posted by: BarberDave Oct 18 2012, 11:22 AM

I have been around the 914 Group since 2000, Thought the club was great, but

that was because of the 2 principles , B. & Andy, ( even with his Orange Mohawk ! )

Then came the split ( saddened by it then) now I go there once a week , if that!

914 World is the best thing since sliced bread,I don't even list Parts F/S there.

If anyone wishes to answer this ,please do. ( What the hell happened to # 4 )

do we know who is in position of it, is it still around ?

Worst $5000 George ever spent...

I occasionally drop in.

Posted by: euro911 Oct 18 2012, 04:34 PM

I'm sure he made it back by now ...

Posted by: Rand Oct 18 2012, 05:54 PM

If he made anything back it was because of commercial crap that is so far from what the forum was supposed to be.


Well, best o fluck

I've got to 2nd Dave..

Same exact story here. Except that I probably only frequent the site 1-2 times a year..
For me, there never is a need to frequent it. All the 914 content I ever could need, or share is right here. For every person with a question, there is someone here with an answer.

Besides, what did ever happen to #4??????? 914World wants to know...

I googled 914114. The number of a car distroyed at the factory. Seen here at the WCC in 2004.

Posted by: DBCooper Oct 19 2012, 09:50 AM

Wow. Not this shit again, for sure. Anyone know where it eventually ended up?

Posted by: BarberDave Oct 19 2012, 10:18 AM

I just was curious, didn't mean to start a bunch of sh-t.

You mean it is still around? Wasn't' there a 'merger' once upon a time? I pretty well quit paying attention to that site about then - I thought it was going to be taken down. I guess I was mistaken.
