there was some arguments with people on the board with his business and he had enough.

What a shame. I tried going on there yesterday to read up on the ls1 swap and the site was acting weird and I couldn't get to page 1. I guess maybe that is why.

ya the two i dont think are related. but i had noticed that two. the LS1 install was a big point of interest for me. im still pretty excited about that.

NASA added Boxterspec as a class. They officially have a home now.

Similar happening when 914Club and 914World split.

Can someone give details?

Lobo1186 · 03-26-2010, 05:20 PM

well there was some serious unprofessional conduct on the board concerning his business which IMHO was regardless of the circumstances uncalled for and so he shut down the site

That's a shame, I always found Brad chock full of good information.

Topless · 03-26-2010, 06:02 PM

It's true. I talked to Brad today. He is opening a new shop, has his online parts business, Grand Am team involvement, and working with Joe Schmoes like us, he was just spreading himself way too thin. If something fell through the cracks people got pretty ugly online. Nobody needs to live with that. He is shedding all the things that require lots of his time but return little or nothing. Boxsterspec.com was one of them.

I totally understand Brad wanting to simplify his life a bit. It is a shame though. While 986forum is the best general ownership Boxster site, Boxsterspec.com was by far the best "no bull" site for Spec racing. Perhaps the database and domain name will become available at some point. A lot of valuable knowledge is buried in there that can be found nowhere else.

Peace Brad. Wishing you well my friend.

So Brad is done entirely with Boxsters????

Lobo1186 · 03-26-2010, 09:47 PM

no he still is doing his thing but he is just getting rid of some things that take too much of his time like his boxsterspec site.
