That's too bad, I liked that site. I saw the "That's All Folks" background earlier today and thought something was up but didn't know what.

He shoulda just banned the guy, and kept the board up. IMO, the board owner gets the right to decide what content they want on the board, and if people don't like it, leave.

Unhappy Ppbb

Maybe, he was planning this all along and he was waiting on a whipping boy, as last Friday he asked not to have any more donations sent to the board, and offered up a couple of other charities. I remember a couple of years ago I had sent in a donation that he declined, and the next thing I knew he shut the board down.

It's not like it doesn't happen here either Jake. I know you had your issues with the site, but, for the most part it was a great place filled with great people. Lets just try to remember it as the great site that Chuck created all those years ago...

A few random thought on this

One major information resource for Boxster owners has gone away.

I'd expect this forum and P9 to get a lot more traffic.

Having been on PPBB for about 11 years, I thought it was a great resource to exchange info and meet people.

Interesting way to end the forum--agree to take a hike or owner closes the board.

If it were me, i would leave graciously--no sense staying someplace where you're not welcome.

Well, Allegator, you saw your duty and you did it. I guess it was important for you to make sure nobody would be happy rather than only you. I don't suppose being a lawyer had anything to do with it--right?

I almost think Rob was waiting for another explosion like this so he could do this and not have to deal with guys/gals like Aligator anymore. It really sucks though, been on that place since almost day one in 99...
