914World.com _ 914World Garage _ What's happened to 914club website?
Posted by: tshih914 Jan 12 2020, 05:57 PM
Hi All,
Been AWOL from 914club and 914world for over a decade now. Just returning to look for info on rebuilding 2.0L D-jet engine and to update my thread started many years ago. When I typed in 914club I was directed to AutoAtlanta's website and no link to 914club's forums. What gives?

Everyone went to the 914world after Brad and Andy split the 914club and then Brad sold it to George. George (from AA, owner of the web site) let it go about a year ago..

It isn't a little club anymore, we're worldwide baby!

Old news.

Why do you think George has started to hang around here now?

The site is way too costly to maintain for the little activity that goes on, but it is saved, with all of the information.
Believe it or not the Porsche attorney gave me a real hassle a few years ago about using the name 914club. !!!!

Sell it to me, I'll give you 5 dollars. With the help of SirAndy, we can bring it back to its former glory, unlike myspace

we own the site but really sort of ridiculous to have two identical sites so we made it inactive. We can start it up at any time

What George is saying is its not commercially viable to operate.
If it wasn't for Andy this site wouldn't exist either.
Someone wanna dig up the paypal link, it's been about a year since I last kicked in.

I think George should do the gentlemanly thing and forward traffic to the 914world vs AA

Many years ago the Porsche 914 Club based in Oakley CA was recognized by Porsche.

Thanks Andy for all you do for the 914 Community

Thanks Andy!

Just re-upped!

Oh crap, all these years I never knew we could donate!
Sent some mulah.

That's what the little world icon is with the hand underneath. Once you contribute you get the helping hand icon. Hopefully the amount from everyone is enough to keep the lights on and pay for Andy's website support and playing wack a mole with the hackers.

I'm in.

et voilà!
Believe we should come up with some sort of funding reminder so that @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=179 doesn't get stuck with the bill. Being a member of a few different forums, I can say without hesitation that this site is an invaluable resource and the best community with the best members.

It's pointless to have two. If they were wildly different, maybe... It's better to have a single source of information.
Posted by: mxkinn01 Oct 1 2021, 02:19 PM
I just donated. Keep up the great work.

Paid up with pleasure. And thanks for all you do and especially the great stuff you sent out for the NE Gatherings.
Posted by: FRUNKenstein Oct 5 2021, 03:44 PM
Re-upped. Thanks for the reminder. You know, this might be worth posting a reminder in its own thread. Just sayin'. . .

George,
I do hope that you do not let that site go completely. Maybe it's just me. It has old messages and threads from some of our beloved 914 friends and acquaintances that are no longer with us.

BTT.
Posted by: rgolia Oct 6 2021, 10:58 AM
All paid up.....thanks for the reminder and thanks to Andy
