We are a member-owned community where people have fun, help each other, and talk about Porsche 914 history, tech, restoration and racing.

Good morning, everyone.

Once upon a time, we had a policy of absolutely no discussion of politics & religion (P&R). The policy was in place because we saw these discussions tear up other communities and hoped to avoid the same strife here.

Several months ago, we relaxed that rule hoping that members would engage in reasonable and civil debate. Most did - and we thank you for living up to the high standards you have for each other. Unfortunately, a few did not and the ensuing arguments became very ugly.

Everyone on the admin team knows, understands and respects the feelings on both sides of the issue of continuing the P&R topics. Over the past few days, we've watched the discussion unfold and took every comment seriously. As we saw the voting develop, it was clear that the majority of our members feel that P&R discussions have outlived their usefulness on 914world. We agree with the majority opinion that this is the very best solution for everyone.

We (914world folk) don't need an admin team over-moderating, acting as babysitters, monitoring every thread and responding to hurt feelings multiple times a day. This is time and effort that's not dedicated to keeping the nuts and bolts of 914world running so we all can enjoy our hobby of 914s.

We're a great community, and the admin team asks that we all move forward. If you have any questions, please review the few rules we have (as currently posted) and contact any site admin if you need further info.

Thank you again for all the time and effort you invest here... it's the people that make this place fantastic!
