Well I think it is just pretty funny, here's what I got from the PPBB admin in email:

"Yes, you are banned. That means that you are not welcome to post or read the
board, to do so really would be trespassing. This is a privately run
and funded board with no payments taken from any guests. You have worn
out your welcome and we ask that you do not come back. We realize that
you can find many alternative ways to access the board though covert or
other technical means - that does not change the fact that you are not
welcome. With so many other forums for you to discuss cars, we expect
that you will honor our request that you cease visiting the board and
using our hardware and software. We are positive with your
dissatisfaction with the way that the board is run and it's management,
this will not be a problem."

I just wanted to go see this Auction classifieds area to see if it was true, turns out it was, no big deal, but I thought I'd see if they changed their stance. Evidently they are basically admitting they are wrong, but banning me because I called them on it. Sounds like a load of sour grapes to me... or is that moldy figs?

I wonder if that means I can't go to the Boxstoberfest in Texas since PPBB people are hosting that event? What about TBHL next year in Las Vegas? Will I be banned from that too? If so, how will I check to see if the winning drawing was legit?

(that's a JOKE people). It's simply too bad for other Boxster owners on PPBB that they will miss out on my own website and some of the cool things coming up there because I've worn out my welcome.

I wonder how many nights they'll be looking for "Covert Bananas" ????
