A few words in advance before we release the 997 infos
First of all I want to proudly point out that ALL information you got from Rennteam.com was accurate! I might be wrong but I also think we were the ONLY source worldwide which posted the power of the 997 S right, including some other detailled information. Even car magazines close to Porsche got it wrong.
Why I post this? Pretty simple: we need your help.
Rennteam.com is a private forum, we have no sponsors and the Moderators and Editors all have a real life job and spend a lot of their free time to provide information which isn't always available anywhere else, including pictures.
No, we don't want your money or donations.Thanks, we got various offers of this kind.
We need your LOYALTY, your support. I know that some of you are Users on other forums too but to be honest, this actually doesn't help us at all if Users post the same thing on other forums too. We also see the phenomenon that some of our Users take information (and unfortunately pictures too, even removing the www.rennteam.com logo) to other forums but never mention where they got the infos, pictures or drawings from.
Recently we even had the case of one of our Moderators who kindly asked the Admin of another Porsche Forum to put back the Rennteam logo on the drawings he used without permission on his forum. What happened? Our Moderator, who was a registered User of that forum too, has been deleted.
Why do some of you guys support forums which have 30 sponsors or more, forums who ask for your money and forums which clearly "steal" information from other forums?
I don't get it. We don't want to create the ONLY Porsche forum on the web but you guys should understand one thing: due to our non-commercial private character, we have access to infos which others don't have. Isn't this wonderful? A forum without advertisement, without commercial background, with always honest opinions and comments, what does one need more?
I don't beg for your money but for your loyalty. If you have a question or if you need information, just post it here on Rennteam.com. The more Users we have, the more likely the chance to get access to even more information and pictures.
Porsche is watching this forum closely (as they do with others too) and our goal is to offer a free service for all Porsche owners and addicts worldwide and to maintain at the same time a good relationship to the company which makes our dreams come true, Porsche.
Don't get me wrong: you're free to join any other Porsche or sportscar forum on the internet. But please try to make a wise choice by supporting only forums which haven't a commercial background. This is the only way car manufacturers will support such forums and this is the only way people can trust such forums.
And if the design of Rennteam.com annoys you, I have good news: we're already planning a design upgrade and if technically possible, a picture and video gallery.
Just stay tuned...
Sorry for the lenghty post but I had to unload my thoughts.
