OMG you can link to their site here
The question is, will the new site let you link BACK to the World?
That was NOT allowed by the previous owner.

From the Dr...

Welcome to the new 914club.com
Dear 914club member:
As most of you know by now, my company, Automobile Atlanta Inc., has been graciously afforded the opportunity to purchase the 914club website, and although the transition took a bit longer than we thought, Andy Schmidt was instrumental in making it a very smooth one.

This club has had a long and colorful history and we are happy to continue with that spirit, while making new history by providing one of the two best places in the world (so to speak!) for the best in 914 tech advice, guidance, chat, and general camaraderie!

The rules of the new club are simple: Keep the focus on Porsche, remain at all times ladies and gentlemen, and post in the appropriate area! We value the Garage as the main focus for instant tech advice and 914 information, so please try to keep it that way so no one has to wade through to find the needed solution to their Porsche problem.

Contrary to anyone's opinion, the club will continue to be an open Porsche forum. Our company owns the site, but that doesn't mean that we will suppress any legitimate comment or reference: If you have a gripe with any supplier, and cannot work it out with them, you are free to express it here. It will only make that supplier better at what they do. (and that includes us!) Our administrators will, however, suppress any outright bashing, and we have turned on the profanity filter!

This is not a commercial site! Banner ads only by member vendors, and to advertise we will expect those vendors to contribute technically to this community. Every member can advertise in the classifieds! If you would like a banner, please contact Jason@autoatlanta.com and he will set you up.

Just like our sister site 914world.com, however, we will ask for a small donation. (Ours will be to the Wounded Warrior Project) Your ad will be as frequent as the level of your donation.

Our board is composed of some of the finest and most able in the 914 community, and they will be monitoring the site 24 hours a day to help you in that wee hour when no one is around. I personally am always available as a back up, and my numbers are published. Our two sites (World and Club) also have administrators in common, and Andy of the World, and I have a close working relationship, so feel free to quote or cross post on either site. All members whose account has been previously suspended for political reasons will be reinstated.

I myself of course will post here but will also continue to post on the World, just as I have been doing for the last couple of years. Consider our areas: Garage, Paddock, Off-Topic, Concours d'Elegance, etc, just a different bend from that of the World. It is our intent that both clubs be integral for the preservation of the fabulous Porsche 914 and its vast network of passionate owners.

Thank you for subscribing and look forward to a informative helpful site, 914club.com!

Let our people be free. All political prisoners have been released! It may take a few days for everything to work itself out. Andy or Jason will be able to free anyone who is still banned!

I still laugh. All Forums with sponsors are commercial sites! I dont know why that is a precieved negative that people like to put in the charter statements. 10% at AutoAlanta for posting 50 posts isnt commercial? Aside from that strange statement it looks like good development, but I'm sure somone must be pissed off or it wouldnt be a 914 forum. LOL!

I am sure that you appreciate my deep love for the marque Grants. I have been laughing all day that we have been able to free the club and get it back together with the world. This is a great development and I would expect "congrats Andy and George"
Funny how some take a good gesture and nay say it. We did not HAVE to offer 10% off, to keep it less commercial. (now THAT statement REALLY doesn't make sense.
Let's now have some POSITIVE posts about recent developments.

Guys, the DNS change can take up to 72 hours to filter through ...

If you still see the old "Board offline" message or a blank page etc. your ISP has not yet updated their DNS cache.

Not much one can do about that. Wait another day or so and you should be able to access the site again ...

If you really can't wait that long, you can add the lines below to your 'hosts' file:

CODE

173.201.38.49    914club.com
173.201.38.49    www.914club.com


On a Windows machine, the 'hosts' file is here:

Guess its all in your perspective. You do have a vested commercial interest in the sites so I just dont see you as being pure as the driven snow on the "reunification", but yes thanks for uniting the sites! Its about time but cant we let the WOrld die now?
