The name Autopia was always a beacon light in this industry. A place to get real-world information. PBMG has owned AutopiaForums (and Autopia-CarCare) for more than 3 1/2 years, and under PBMG ownership, this forum flourished.. as a place for real world, unbiased information.
I am certain that PBMG will continue to allow Autopia to be Autopia, with the primary focus on allowing open discussion of multiple product brands. The culture we developed (we meaning the forum members including myself) here is so positive that it has restored the Autopain culture.
This is great news and I personally look forward to seeing the brand whole. Yes the merge will be difficult, technically, but I have more than enough faith in PBMG to handle the transition.
