I'm wondering if DC would consider making THIS the "official" site of the Prowler.

CJ?

Has it ever really come back??? That club was set up for the wrong reasons... $$$... I as others, never got a thing in return for the membership fees paid & many members overpaid for marked-up products which were purchased at a C/P parts Dept anyway... It is a shame because that is where I first started & got information about purchasing my Kat... Then again I still remember the tombstone stating that the Prowler's production was defiantly going to end on July 10, 2000... That did influence me to purchase my Kat, Born on July 7, 2000... Thank GOD for CJ & BOB... I remember Spoons posting a comment to unite the two sites... Looks like it happened on its own... They did not unite, the other members just came aboard & were welcomed with opened paws Good to know that we all ended up with the best site & club in the end... But I ask you... Was there ever any doubt???
Prowler owners may come & go, but the POA will ride on forever!!!

Basically the original President & Founder did... He said many things...

It would be nice to get DC to back us, But the POA will always be official in my heart...

WildBill

You think we could convince the others to put their money towards a better cause? Like this site? Their money would be far well spent.

I've looked at the other site. For information and, at least some of y'all, entertainment value, this is much more impressive.

It may not be much, but I placed my check in the mail this morning. And the best part of that was - it was voluntary.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the Official Site!

Can we just put this behind us once again.
Granted there were/are many problems with the PPC but if it were not for the PPC initially being there, many of us would never have met and formed the friendships that we now have. For that and for the POA, I'm very thankful.

Tom Kalski bought the PPC site quite a while back and has had to deal with many if it's past problems. Tom did not cause the problems but he is now the current owner and must deal with the history and hard feelings of some towards the PPC. Let's give Tom a break and lighten up on the critism of the PPC site. I was told by Tom that he has never cashed any checks of the new members that have signed up with the PPC since he bought it. If someone can prove that statement false I will be very surprised and disappointed.

I take a totally different view of the Carnuts site though just for those who are keeping score.

There is plenty of room on the internet for everyone to have a good time and share information. Let's do just that.

History is history. Learn from the past and hope that other will learn from their mistakes also. Best wishes to the PPC under Tom's management.

This site is by far the best source of information for the Prowler and it's where I will spend my time and money to help it thrive.

There seems to be alot of angst over the other site because they charged members to join. While the utopian idea of a "Free" site sounds appealing, the hard reality is once it gets past the grassroots stage, it becomes improbable to run it out of your garage (so to speak). This necessitates a true hosting environment (if for nothing else to guarantee 24x7). Folks, as one who knows, this ain't cheap.
Witness the charity collection on this site of $14K (and that is ABOVE what comes from all the advertisers), just to run this site.

I know nothing about the other site now or the new owner as I joined Mike's site as soon as I found it but, it does take money to run a site (in some cases, ALOT). And for some (perhaps the owner of the other site) this might be their livelyhood too.

Just my too sense

Hey, Mr. Bill.........don't blame ME for anything!!

Seriously, I agree with Larry's comments. As with most things in life, there are many choices and that is as it should be. The past should remain in the past and all we should be doing is looking forward. Tom Kalski, owner of the PPC has done the best he can during the time he took over. Unfortunately for Tom, (and we can all relate) he has had some personal issues to deal with such as the recent death of his father. I'm sure Tom will continue to do his best with the site.

Everyone is free to choose which (or both) clubs to belong to.......freedom of choice.........that's what makes this nation so great!

Tom, no disrespect to you or the site was meant & as I said... If it wasn't for the PPC I probably wouldn't have the silver 2000 I have today... I have made friends from both sites... The POA was always more active instead of reactive. But I am sorry... The POA really KICKS A&&.
