I didn't even know we had an "Originality" forum... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Should be a small group since most of these are no longer original...

Steve Gaglione personifies the term "original" regarding 914's. Plus he's a great guy. Come on Steve, step up to the plate!

I'm okay with everyone hacking up their teeners.

That'll leave me with the only one close to original.


AND....Bump for Jeff Bowlsby for moderator.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

We have a lot of folks with deep knowledge & some who have set-up great 914 knowledge bases - like DaveP's 914-6 site, Jeff Bowlsby's sites, & Steve (don't know his "handle" on here??) who has p914.com (& .net & .org) - which are all go to 914 resources.

Many have areas in which they're the go-to expertise beyond a broad 914 knowledge base, such as Davep on 914-6, gustl on all things Europe/Germany, Dave K on the `73 MY "914 Sport", Jeff B on LEs & Harnesses & everything else he's collected on 914s, Steve/p914.com on colors & what came on 914s in which MYs, George H/AA on all things 914, 916s, etc.; & a bunch of others - including a few of the older members on here who were around as teens/adults when 914s were new & remember stuff from the old days (Paul, larmore, me, others & even Pat G.).

However, many of us have busy careers & other commitments cutting into our available time to act as a Mod of O&H at present.

Might I suggest that there could be a joint set of 2 or more co-moderators, with the others serving as resources to chime in when there is time & something within their scope of 914 expertise as an O&H Experts Panel or something of the sort - similar to what PCA does for their car/model expertise panel?

Frankly, our cadre on here probably knows more than the 914 expert(s) at PCA, so this could build upon that resource.

Just a thought for the Admins to consider - breaking up &/or sharing the O&H Forum Mod duties & adding support folks for them.

I can serve in a supporting role, but am too buried with running my business & other stuff for now to be a solo O&H Mod. Heck, I can't even get my 914 out to work on or get to the shops for resto since 2012 until I get stuff reworked here on our home resto/etc. project! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

We can have more than one mod on a forum, That breaks up the workload a bit.

I just had a couple of suggestions for additional O&H topics which should probably be nailed threads based on recurring questions from the membership.



I think whoever said the above should definitely be on the moderator team (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I've pretty much worn out those nailed topics researching details for my resto. Would love to see that tradition continued and expanded.

It might help some people feel comfortable if they knew what the exact job requirements are.

seeing how little activity there is there, (just like the 914 club) maybe the originality history should be folded in to the garage, that way everyone who knows anything could make a comment right away rather than having to remember to go to the other discussion page.

Slippery slope. Merge these two, then two more, then all of a sudden everything is on the same few pages. Sorry doc, bad idea, imo! Originally(pun intended), to the best of my memory, there was only one forum. It got to be a real busy place.

Totally agree,. Tom T takes a lot of his time researching 914 information and posts it in its truest form, if toting the factory line is bad then anyone restoring a 914 to concours perfection or near it is bad , and that is just not true.

Because Tom is keen on originality and history, he would be perfect as moderator PLUS he has no commercial interest, as some of you say


I still think that the forums should be merged, that way we could all share in answering questions, even the guys who butcher their 914s! (LOL)

Yes, that would help, but I still cannot do this right now - but would be willing to help out, as I said in a prior post.

I don't think so George, because they cover two different areas, just like not merging the track/AX forum, parts FS, cars FS, etc. forums with the Garage.

IMHO it's better to start at the Garage if someone has the question on anything - if they don't know to go to the O&H Forum (or the 914club Concours one) - then be directed to look there.

That seems to be the flow, & there is more activity in that regard - looking for the reference topics - than posting questions &/or other types of topics directly as new topics over on O&H - which is probably what you see as "activity".

Unfortunately the mere act of searching & reading O&H topics doesn't register as "activity" - but it goes on!
