I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere, but I couldn't find the thread... What's up with all the different 914 boards?
And how did my login info (and all the message history) from the 914club.com site end up here?
I noticed the traffic at 914club.com has been a little low, and now it seems like more people post here. Is this the new home? What's the story?
Just curious. Existing thread somewhere?

Look for the thread- geeze guys -someone described what happened (highly disputed) in that thread, but at least it's a more brief description than most. I'm not sure that anyone not involved in the administration of the .com site really knows what happened, and some of them probably aren't sure. We're certain that there was a big blowup, and that money was involved, and now 914club.com paraphenalia is now for sale at cost.
I'm not looking for a fight here, I'm trying to stay with facts.

The old club had become more tech driven and racing focused. The folks that like to let us BS set up this alternate.

Welcome, Steve.
There are a number of threads and many various opinions of what happened. Nobody needs or wants additional drama, so I'm not going to rehash anything.
Hope you like the 914world and that it fits your needs...

Damn, brother... I hate to hear that. I thought we were tech driven, with a special forum for racing.
But, IMO, the good thing is that we're not limited to that.

I'm not that crazy about popcorn.
This place has all the tech resources you'll ever need and cool people to hang with. A balance that suits me well.
Some damn cool people over at clubNarp too.
Whatever. Don't stir shit. Just hang out where you like.
