Would someone who has an active account over on 986forum please shoot me a PM? I'm having trouble getting access to the site and want to message someone who posted a classified ad on there. Thanks!

I too cannot seem to get approved by the moderators; is it personal or they dont want any new members? I can't message the sellers on there either

I made a post on the 986forum about your situation here, http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-g...tml#post627328. Hopefully someone will respond to you. There have been some new members on the New Member Introductions so they are getting new people on board.

Same for me. Hopefully the note posted there will get them to approve all pending accounts.

Me too. I wanted to reply to a post and it still shows I need approval. Been a couple weeks since I registered.

I think I registered in October and still awaiting “approval”. No idea what’s up with that.

pelican bought it a while back and pretty much stopped moderating it; just spammed it w advertising. the place went pretty wild west, and i guess now they don't even want new membership. presume they want to drive the traffic to the pelican-prime site where they have a better interface with their online shopping apparatus.
