Schuman Automotive forums?

So not only are they charging $20 a head now for whatever is in their forum (you can't see anything until you pay), but I'm now told (my emphasis here) that Henry is "the Worlds leading authority on cars such as yours."

Did I miss a memo somewhere? It used to be a place where some of the more outspoken members from here congregated, with some good info. Now it seems like it's just a private party that no one's invited to.

EDIT: I have no clue if in the past two years this has become a touchy subject around here or not. Feel free to nuke at will, but I'd love a PM to find out what went to hell in a handbasket over there....

There are forums like that all over the net. Unlikely that you would get what you paid for.
If who ever he is was any good he would be on here any way.

I used to hang out there for a while. Henry is ok I suppose, but certainly not that much of an authority.

The former Bonehead Dr. is over there too and on good behavior at least he was a few years back when I hung out over there. If he had had those manners here he would still be here.

I just navigated through their site with no problem. Never saw anything about a $20 fee.

I used to go there a lot when they first started but their prices were too high. This after quaranteeing low prices.
