Can't we be a little more creative and make something cool up? I'll give it a try...

"The 914 club went on a vacation in the Pacific and the airplane crashed near a deserted island. The stranded survivors decided to salvage the airplane equipment and keep the site going....

Strangely, a rift errupted between those who wanted to keep posting concours details and hourly updates for a monthly 914 breakfast in Chowchilla, and the others who just wanted to send an SOS and go home before their wives cashed the insurance check (little did they know it was too late as each cashed in about 2 hours after the airplane took off) and then went and bought Boxsters....

Slowly, admin after admin began disappearing (this is still being made up) until a strange supernatural force began posting tech tips and other useful information on the club site. They began finding clues in the form of value price repo parts via drop shipped helium balloons and floating bottles.

The savage clubbers began complaining (naturally) that balloons were popped and not all the bottles arrived... some even began posting that they'll NEVER buy parts from anywhere, ever again, ever.... which kind of pissed off the supernatural...

Jake Raby circled the island in his attack helicopter heavily armed and ready to kick ass, but changed his mind, peed out the window, and flew to Boxster Island instead. The savages thought the odd colored rain would make a nice color for a "steam ginny" conversion.

Eventually, the clubbers realized they were actually on a reclaimation pond in Barstow and flagged down Nancy Pelosi's modestly government funded 747... Nancy actually spotted them personally since she's up to her ears in that kind of stuff daily..

The supernatural was actually a weather ballon (or was it?)...

About 2 days later, Rico Suave showed up and is living there permanently... as confirmed by Barstow's increased avitar downloads..."

How's that?

Rob, you should write for a living. The first post on the new 914club.com site should be by you with this explaination of what happened followed by how it finally got it back up and running again. Excellent work

Rob, you should write for a living.

Yeah, go apply at woot.com, and do it right now. Those skills are perfectly transferable, in fact I even thought I heard echoes in the room.
