I realized today I have had my car for almost 10 years. The content here and the group of members have made it possible for me to actually work on and enjoy this quirky German car.

THANK YOU ALL!

I don't want to drum up any negativity regarding the old "club" or anything. I do remember being a member during a "split up".

So what I am really getting at here is......When did the world site go online and become what it is today?

I am guessing from my lousy memory around the end of 2006?

Just trying to gauge how old we are...thx

I joined on November of 2003. Eric's profile shows Sept 2003. That would seem to be the beginning. Your profile shows March 2006 and you though it started in late 2006? You must be getting old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
BTW this is year 2014.

I don't know the chain of events but I do remember some bit of drama around that time I joined so I assumed that it was fresh.

I typo'd...actually was thinking 2005...

So 2003..

The "some sort of drama". Was the reason for the creation of the world. Technically the "club" was the same software on the same server with the same mastermind (andy). So I actually believe world was the same group as "club" and then the world group was kind enough to change the name in the interest of conflict resolution.

In The early days there was a different fight every holiday season.

The World came to be in December of 2006 but all the old posts from before the split are also still here, so the content on this site actually goes back to December of 2002.

In the beginning there were little baby dinosaurs. Go back to page 1890ish and see what was happening.

Most of the people who joined initially came from rennlist (formerly porschelist). As I recall, frustration with that site not being "vendor neutral" was the biggest reason for the creation of 914club.

There are still a few folks on here that I remember from the email listserve before that. "Porschefans", maybe??


edit P.S. Embarrassed to admit I was on 914club from almost the first day but didn't create an account until Jun of 03 because I didn't have anything to post. Yes, I'm the uber-lurker.

It was not due to Rennlist not being "Vendor Neutral"

He who shall not be named had a public argument with John Dunkle.

So he got with Andy and setup 914club.
