Agreed. The Jake-baiters won. We lost. Jake has a Facebook page that he seldom promotes on Forums because he respects the Forum hosts. Lots of Tech info there.
All Pelican will achieve is to redirect Boxster people there and to Rennlist/RennTech.A little more Moderation may have prevented this? That is not censorship.This is Pelican's Forum .They have the right to eliminate nasty comments. And " nasty" is just whatever they wish to say it is.I'm O.K. with that -it is just respect of Pelican's Property Rights.
I write this with great regret. And I think I may hold the record for linking Pelican Parts and articles in my posts here and on Rennlist.
If you want a sample of how bad a Porsche Forum is without someone like Jake, read posts by some(not all)"experts" at 6Speedonline. They sound convincing but are often just wind bags.By contrast I find RennTech faultless for any technical subject.yes, -Tech, not list.

Quote from 10/10ths above:
"To discover that Jake Raby is no longer posting on this forum and sharing his invaluable knowledge with all of us in the Porsche world makes me very sad.

Censorship is wrong. Self-censorship is a slippery slope.

I get the "business" aspect of all of this. I do. But as a car guy, who loves my Boxster, I just want to share the joy of ownership I experience every day with everyone on the planet who wants to own one of these cars.

Jake Raby makes owning these cars better, safer, more fun, and saves us all a lot of money, time, and walking home from a steaming pile at 3am, in the rain, a thousand miles from nowhere.

Thank you, Jake Raby."
