3. What do Antoine and Enry look like and how many times have they met (pics required)?
Antoine...in a more familiar pic :)

Honestly, I have no idea who Enry is or how he looks like. I would just jack one of the other members pictures, but that wouldn't be right....
And they have probably met, maybe not in person, but through todays lastest and greatest technology like webcams or camera phones, etc. Or maybe they use the satilite feaute on google maps and look at where they live and wishing the satilite caught either in the picure... (This would be my really-really good guess)

4. Which domain did Mazda North America Operations (MNAO) have an issue over?
MazdaCX7.com and MazdaCX-7.com

5. Name 1 magazine and 1 website that Mazda Forums (or one of its domains) is or has been mentioned on.
Mazdasport
Mazda3 Forums (Another Mazda Forum that has many many links to almost/all domains here!)

(attn) Describe an interesting yet positive personal experience you had on Mazda Forums (you decide the optimum length).

Mazda247.com has one of the best forum communities in the whole world wide web (wwww). Not only are the forums kept neat and super-duper-uber organized (thanks to all you mods out there...you help make this site worth coming back), but the users are active, friendly and responsive; at least to all those I talk to... I started using this forum close to a year ago mainly to get information on general mods for my car. Little did I know, my protege had so much potential and I got sucked into this money draining hobby of modding my car. I haven't done too much to my car, but it will be a slow work in progress, since I always know my forums buddies are online. Plus, the deals on the For Sale section are amazing! I check that section often. Anyways, I'll share my interesting yet positive experience before I lose the interest of the judge ;)

Since I feel very comfortable with the people here on the forums, I actually picked up a set of rotas for Black_Protege_5 up in San Francisco, and dropped it off to him in southern california for a deal that I had back out of. I felt bad that I backed out, and it was the least I could do. It wasn't too far out of my way to do it either. That experince was positive because I actually got to meet two forum members in person (the seller of the rotas and Bryan, aka black_protege_5), and made friends with Bryan who I talk to about all my mods. :) Anyways that's my story.

BTW - This forum is also very informative, I can get ALL my information for almost anything. With that said, I guess I should credit some of my answers that I "borrowed"
MP3Architect for answers #1,2,4,5a

6. Two weeks after I found the forum I placed my first order from a vendor. I spent a lot of time reading and learning (there is some awesome information on here!) and was addicted! (you know you are addicted when you are backpacking around Australia and you see a internet cafe and need to check up on things!) I've been able to pick up a few things like a front lip, cf shift plate, megan racing shifter, kartboy bushings, a PS/2 with 14 games (yippy), Dave B Rings, Injen CAI, and I'd have so many more things *must stay away from marketplace to save money for traveling*. So now a year and a half later still coming back every day. I've met a bunch of great people and had some great laughs... and of course TLT FTW!!
 
Haha...Funny pchops! That's the spirit (thumb)
