Draw your own conclusions!

-Rusty

914 owners spend way too much time in front of their computers instead of working on their cars?

Andy

It's been said here on this BBS many, many times before, but....

you guys that put this thing up, and keep it running >>> ROCK!

Thanks so much for your efforts.

That's for sure!
If I put all the hours into my car that I put into building 914 webstuff, I'd be well into my 5th ground up restauration and have 3 full racing seasons under my belt

Instead, I have a roller standing in the garage, a chopped up chassis rusting in the driveway and a shitload of parts (so much that I can hardly move my skinny ass in the garage) and drove about 200 miles in a 914 in 4 years...

Worst of all, it's about winter time and we're supposed to do more work on this website

I am a dumb fuck
(but those statistics give me warm and fuzzy feeling though )

cheers,

Jeroen

Me, too!

Andy, Jeroen! that is so true..

I think its time to have advertisers pay .01 per view that way there would some money to spread around!

It's been a little over a year since Rusty's post. This is where we are now:

Pretty substantial acceleration in new members since August. I'll bet that's two things: the Excellence article on the WCC, and the new server. Slow servers = no new users. The two big Internet business I've worked with (Ebay being one) both showed that to be true. Any speed increase in the service always showed a usage increase.

Man, I hope you had a calculator or something to add all that stuff up!!
Cheers, Elliot

THANKS FOR ALL THE ENJOYMENT

Bernie

Hats off to our admins who keep this madhouse running (914World.com hats, that is)! You guys do an incredible job - much more than I'm sure any of us regular folks have a clue about.

Amazing stats for October - must have something to do with forbidden topics <_<

Forbidden tropics..

Explorer: "My God, Betty, we're done for... we'll never get out of here... we're completely lost, lost... even the natives have gone."

I recall telling Brad that he would prolly get 1200 or so folks to join this lashup.....so much for my wisdom

Ahhh..... the power of the internet to unite 914Porschephiles from around the globe...
