Ok, I can't be the only one here that is confused.
1) Who is in charge of the 914 Club?

2) What is the Club?

3) Where is the Club located?

4) When was it formed?

5) How do you join?

6) Is there dues?

7) Is there any plans for a National event?

Be nice....

Ok.

1. I'm heading it up right now.

2. The club first started with the dgi.net/914/ site. It was based in Oakley Ca. by a guy named Alex (his last name escapes me). Alex passed away and prior to that had held events on the west coast and helped support events in the Midwest (MUSR). There was a big power struggle and conflics between several of the 914 members when things started to go downhill in 1997 or so. The website (dgi) basically stopped being maintained at that point. The classifieds where being handled by Glenn Stazak (changing the monthly title) Glenn was empowered by the person who built the dgi site to run it. Several meetings where held over 2-3 years about what "we" the 914 people where going to do with the club... Well... guess what.. nothing happened. In May of 2001 the person who actually hosted the dgi site moved the contents to a new server that didnt have Perl installed on it and the classifieds broke. I imediately registered 914world.com/.net/.org. Again we held meetings to "fire" up this new site. Almost 2 years went by and I relized nothing was being done. I took it back over and decided to make a go of it. Everybody loved the original site. I wanted to use some of it to keep the same feel but was told I had to work with Glenn Stazak if I wanted to use any of the copy-writed material. Seeing personally that nothing ever happened with the old site when Glenn was involved led me to do this on my own with help from other people in the 914 society. ALL the graphics are done by Jeroen from the Netherlands, the server is free as well as the bandwidth. That is it in a nutshell. Some of the facts where left out...

3. Club is really not located anywhere. The plan is to have all the little satellite 914 groups come together under one name.

4. This one was formed a few weeks ago. I would like to say it was created back in 1996 by Alex and his girlfriend Barbara. I'm not trying to recreate the wheel. Just give 914 people a common place not "sponsored" by any one vendor (vendor neutral)

5. You joined when you signed up for this BBS. I will have something more formal in the near future.

6. We already have National events: WCR, MUSR, ECR.. so forth and so on.

More to come soon. I need to speak with Chuxter about the 914 SIG and all the other people who put on the 914 events around the globe.

The site does belong to the people.. but guess what.. "people" need leadership. A whole bunch of indians with no chief is worthless. They all stand around waiting for the next buffalo to come by instead of going after the buffalo..LOL

Things where much easier when we had 100 members. I recall the orginal 5 people who tested with me prior to going live with this setup. It still runs on my home server. Those where the days.

Should it be "Dear Leader" or "Great Leader"? (Apologies to Korean War Vets)

The club first started with the dgi.net/914/ site

Cool...I liked that site and always wondered where it went.

Actually I found this site by searching for the dgi.net site. It had been a while since I had posted on that site. I searched everywhere but it quickly became clear that it was gone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I always knew about the bird board but only used it for the tech articles and not so much the forum.

Truth is I love to read the forums here since it seems like such a great group of people. This was confirmed at the WCC '04. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'll be sad to see you go Brad. You've really started a great thing here and I share your concerns about it after what you said happened to dgi.net after it's leader left (died).

We'll keep the light on for ya.

I am one of the oldest members and have had many hours of enjoyment and gleened a lot of good info. I have tried to particapate in all the events in are area (so cal) and do miss the participation of Brad when he gets to busy because he is the most Knowageable 914 Guru that I know of. Brad you have been a great help in my quest to spend way to money on my yellow beauty to make it as new as possible. I will support you any way I can. Good Luck

There were some very funny nights in the all914 chat... especially due to that name-changing feature.

I had my favorite chat log saved... but it got deleted by accident a year ago.

Man... that was fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
