wow

The appeal to me was that this site was exclusively about the S2000.

If we are going to be mixed in with the 15 year olds driving civics with coffee can exhausts,
neon under the car and 5 subwoofers blowing out windows on every street, I may follow Dave
and be done with this place.

This is the only forum I ever go to, looks like I will be getting out of the forums altogether.

It's truly a shame...I foresee this being the end of any organized S2000 events and meets
because who is going to want to go to meets where the prepubescent ricers are going to
ruin it for everyone? My mind is only scratching the surface as to how this will ruin
the S2000 community altogether.

I guess bottom line it's about the almighty buck...makes me question if the admins of the
site truly care about the S2000 community any longer if they are willing to do this.

Can't wait to see Doug's reaction as no doubt the individual communities will be eliminated
in order to promote the BULLS**T togetherness of all Honda/Acura owners.

wow, very very sad. If this really happens, and apparently it already has, I will definitely
not be giving them any more of my money.

I hope so, but, this was posted on the main s2ki page that anyone going to s2ki.com
sees before anything else. Would the admins really allow such a thing just to say
April fools??

To quote the article..."Seeing the number of wrecked S2000’s out there, it is only a matter of time before there are no cars left and our membership dwindles to a few vintage owners."

I don't see a problem with this.

Not sure if it's April Fools or what, but this is a business. If they aren't making money, they look elsewhere. If they aren't making enough money they try to find ways to make more. Mergers are the name of the game.

No one wants to be a full time volunteer or candy striper.

I'll wait and see what happens before I write them off.

I doubt thisquoting Mark) foresee this being the end of any organized S2000 events and meets because who is going to want to go to meets where the prepubescent ricers are going to ruin it for everyone?

These kids are more interested in hanging around a parking lot, burning out and showing off what's under the hood.

That last part may apply to a few Vintage folks too.

I call total BS on this - S2KI to Merge with Honda-Tech and form HTI, Mar 31st, 2011, by aashish2.

Nice try Aash, but we know you
I just wonder how many people will take it seriously and then get all inflamed
I just think sometimes April Fool jokes go too far
Seems to me this could have more negative ramifications than humor
But hey, that's just me...
