Nice forum but the guys who run it are A'holes. They banned me because I kept posting about a product that was not sold by their supporting vendors. They gave me no warning. Just Bam you're banned. They said I was advertising without paying a fee even though I do not work for the company whose product I recommended and I of course don't get paid by them in anyway either. I was just very enthusiastic about sharing a great idea with my fellow car guys.

Ive been a member over there for a couple of years... its my favorite forum... not the best for boxster information (thats what here, ppbb, and brb are for), but I like the atmosphere. Its not a place for really rich guys, or kids posing like they are. Its for car nuts.... plain and simple. Some of the biggest posters have garages that are out of this world, and others have boxsters. They don't care about what you drive. Personalities and a common love for beautiful cars are what rule there. As far as being banned... yeah that happens alot, but you have to read the forum rules first. Thats the same anywhere where there as many members as they have. They have to be strict about their rules because vendors see 6speed as such a good place for marketing. And yeah you need a legit email address to sign up with now... used to not be that way, but even after you get registered sometimes you have to wait a while for approval.

What happened when I first registered was the same as you. I even tried AOL addresses and the same things happened.


Then I waited a few months and tried again and my original email address (hotmail) worked and I was allowed to register.




Perhaps there is just a waiting period...



I feel out of place there because everyone seems to know each other personally But I still enjoy the forums.

Hey Richard, I'm around, good to see you too.

Just not here often as I do not have a Boxster and feel out of place.
