Over and Over and over again too. This BBS is popular, IMHO, because of three main reasons:

1. The BBS software is user friendly. You don't even have to put in your name and email for each post. You can display as much or as little of the past as you want to.

2. It allows Links to pictures and other Websites.

3. It allows unrestricted topical diversity. If the users don't want something on this BBS, Nick allows them to speak up for themselves. I have never seen him take a message off of the board, and unless it were oscene or blatant abuse of the forum (i.e. chainletters), I would rather he let the users chastise authors inappropriate content posts.

4. Nick seems like a hell of a nice guy, who would refer someone to another dealer if he felt that a person would be better served by a competitor's product.
