Is there a problem with mentioning the Schuman Forum? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

If so, speak out and say why; don't slink around and delete threads that had legitimate questions like this one:

Anyone one the Schuman forum?

I guess there must be, I registered again and I think it went through this time using different email and user name.

My offer still stands, for those of you who were not able to read the original post, I will be going to Sweden in a few days and will be hitting up the yards there. If you need something thats not to big send me a PM and I'll see if I can get it for you. Not sure if there will be any w123's there but you never know.

Yes there is. Isn't that boneheaddoctor's forum? It's kind of like talking about the ex with the new wife.

No, it's Henry Schuman's forum. BHD manages it.

A while back I went to the mat about the arbitrary blocking of the Schum*n site and got it lifted in the interest of the free flow of MBZ-relevant information. I guess it didn't stick.

Good. The Schum*n admin thought that your g-mail may have sucked their reply into oblivion.

There's no issue mentioning Schuman's site.

The OP asked a question.........unrelated to diesels I note..........he received the answer..........and it seemed appropriate to delete the thread.

Now, if you believe that the thread will have some value to folks seeking information about diesels in the future.........I'll put it back up for you.

I don't "slink around". You know me better than that.

Wasn't there an offer to get parts from Sweden in that thread?

Yes, after taking a second look...........I see the offer in a postscript of the original post. Might be valuable for a few more days..........although it's easy to miss............the title gives no assistance.

Do we usually delete threads we get answers to?

Read post #7.

whats happening now?

Graminal95 · #12 09-18-2007, 10:56 AM

I'm sorry, next time I'll post it as "Putting a turbo on a 240D" Thats diesel related.

R Leo you were right, Gmail put the message in the spam folder! So I think its all sorted now.

Sorry for the mess, I'll be very specific when it comes to posting stuff from now on.

Mr Carlton, is there a very limit amount of space on the forum for topics that are not totally relevant? (The question was how to get a file that pertained to putting a turbo on a N/A 300 so it was about diesels in a round about way.)

I figured I would get a responce or 2 and then it would in a matter of a day or so move a few pages back, and just be archieved.

In my search for STT info, I have found posts similar to the one that was deleted and has given me a little more info to play with. (where to find certain information in this case the stt file).

R Leo, thanks for the help.

The forum has an unlimited amount of space........effectively.

However, the diesel discussion should be limited to discussions of that engine............if we allow discussions of "How do I post on Schuman's forum" on a daily basis..........this forum turns into a useless pile of trash.

You are a single member who wishes an exception. Compound that by 5,000 and where do you end up?

I found that someone had posted some instruction in German on the Schuman forum but when I tried to get them it said I had to register.

I chose to allow the thread until that information was received. After that point, the thread was moot...........until you noted the postscript.
