As far as getting more newer Boxster and Cayman people involved, well without wanting to sound like a snob, I would prefer this forum stay focused on the 986, not newer models. There are many other forums that are focused on 987 and 981 models. If would be a shame if this turned into rennlist[/QUOTE]

Issues and solutions for our 986 cars are different than those for the newer cars. Having a mix of 986/987/981 posts would make things really confusing and possibly more contentious.

The challenge with this attitude is that then slowly, this forum will die. 986's are getting older and older and are slowly coming off the road. I personally moved to a 987 late last year as my old 986 was just too beat up to put more money into it.
And as someone pointed out- these forums are simple. Very simply laid out, easy to navigate and, for the most part, a good group of people. Lots of us are looking for an alternative to Rennlist....and I don't see how newer PCar owners will impact that.

The forum will not die but it will change... The age will drop to the mid 20's and late teens as the 944 forums have over the years

We'll see. I have noticed a lot of members that have moved on to other cars, yet keep coming back. Change is inevitable. I plan to keep a couple 986s around as long as they care to stay, but expect I'll migrate to a 987 as well. My guess is that this will remain the best Boxster forum and slowly gravitate to the newer (yet still old) cars.
As for moderators, for the most part the forum is self-cleansing. Landa, cats, street racing... When things get way out of hand, Wayne or one of his people do eventually lock or delete the bad threads. Looking at the post count and view count, the worst threads do attract the most attention. That "Submit Reply" button can be dangerous. Maybe they should add another button after that says, "Are You Sure?"
