I Give up !!!
 

Who wants the forum?

Say it ain't so!
 

Don't leave us to the tender mercies of PPBB!

Dont get me wrong. I'm not going to shut it down. I just wont be spending anymore time on making it work. Its no overhead for me to keep the site up. I am just fed up with the lame traffic. My othersite www.hometheaterdiscussion.com is doing great. But this just plain bites the big one.

Well....
 

I am sorry to hear you say that Jorge. But, my graphics contributions to the forum will cease to be forthcoming if that is your plan. Well, it's been fun. I thought it was doing a bit better latelly, but you seem to think it is totally dead. Not much one can do in that case I guess but to let it die a natural death.

You want to see the traffic? Check this out:

hey Jorge,

I don't think it's dead, thats just the beginnen. many boxster enthusiats don't know about that forum. in germany there are 2 great boxster forums.

the other great idea is to provide a member cars photo space. if some or more ppl contribute, i'm sure many ppl are interested

regards,
frank

Traffic stats
 

Yeah, not much going on as you say.

Still, since the forum is already setup and running, doesn't seem like it requires that much maintenance to keep it going. Or, does it?

Perhaps someone from the Boston Boxster group would volunteer to take over running the forum since they seem to be the most active group here?

I'd love to do it, but I really can't devote the time to it.

Calling Charlie, is anybody home?
 

Charlie, want to run the board? I can't run my office computer. TTYL

This s bull****************. Why give up? we need to market. Get some press in local/regional p-car fish wraps.

I for one, really enjoy it.

Hey, I'll "run" it if that helps. What do I have to do? Send me a PM.

Sure there hasn't been much traffic, but it's been the dead of winter and things will get rolling soon! I can't even think about planning rides when its 12 degrees outside!

I have to think that there are not that many boster owners who do not know about this forum. I think that getting the word out in the local porsche rags is the best way to get started.
Also run an ad on ebay. It does not have to be an auction, or you could auction off the forum header for your car, highest bidder gets there car put on the header for 30 days. It is a way to get the word out.

I like the ebay idea :)

eBay idea
 

I can't imagine who would pay to have their Boxster's picture in the header. But then what do I know?

I guess it is some free exposure to have your auction item on eBay, but how many Boxster owners are going to find it anyway?

Where's the member's car?
 

What happened to ehljag's Boxster in the header? I don't see it today.

I have to pay to have it !! LOL

RE: I have to pay to have it !!
 

You are kidding, right?

hey ! it still there.

ok wise guys. I expect payment on the auction or I wil have to have you blck listed by ebay :)

Hey all. I am new to this board. From the Northern Virginia area. I hope the board doesnt go away. I am trying to catch up on some of the many threads.
Just putting in my 2 cents :)

Any forum peepz from the mid-atlantic?
