The last two days have been crazy aroung here , from Kineda getting banned to other people getting banned as well, but just for being stupid. Unfortunatelly we still haven't listened the whole story about this issue Who knows if we'll ever hear it Though things are getting back to Normal once again, but we've lost some valuable players on this forum, not because they've been banned, but because they are supporting Kineda and csportcoupe... We'll see how all this ends.

I was going to register at this site. But They wanted too much personal info upon registering. Also They don't even allow us to view the forums if we are not even registered. Thats just *******g Gay Period. Like its a secret society or something LOL . Whatever.

Noble, you should register, I didnt fill in any of the personal info. There is lots of good talk over there and good people as well. They are embracing the sedan as well with a name change to cklasse.com in a few days.

Oh please! they are EMBRACING the Sedan? Hmm... Since when? That guy Kineda being banned all of a sudden they want more members and they are making room for Sedan owners? . Very interesting. Too bad I won't fall for it.

Do what you want with your paranoid thoughts. Its my understanding that the forum opened to sedans more than a couple weeks ago. The site is more stable, and more importantly, a friendly atmosphere with little commercial influence.

noble: kineda's site is actually in my opinion better. members are free to form group buys without having to worry about being it "illegal" on the forum or not.. threads are not deleted for no reason. no advertising also. its also faster and you can post images above 1kb... so sign up, its a free society over there btw some of the info you need to register that is personal just put jibberish ie phone number (555) 555-5555

Ok so its his site. I see. hmm I will give it a shot. I still dont like the idea where you have to register just to View. So far I have only heard positive things about that forum. How is the Sedan section btw?

i dont get the feeling its a sedan / coupe thing, just a c class thing. I just know there needs to be more C32 owners but thats lacking on all forums.

CSportCoupe has always been a great site. Its certainly more liberating than what's been going on around here lately.

This WAS a really active forum even till like last year...but I dunno what happened and then the whole 'controversy' it just killed our lil' W203 community here. Changes occur all the time though just sad though my car literraly GREW UP here from stock to what it is now. RIP W203 MBWorld of old
