There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Drive Belt Broke

No the mechanic at the dealer is very good and I have several thousand miles on it since that happened. The rubber and the teeth look like new so it's not old age deterioration. Something might have got in there to over stretch the belt but I didn't feel the thump associated with that type of event. I used to get very small rocks in between the belt and rear pulley before installing a rock guard and know what that feels like so I'm still thinking a cord failure.

Is it possible some joker might have been playing with a knife while you weren't looking?

Age is always a component. But I don't think age had anything to do with this. My vote is for a defective belt. Even if some damage was done (chemical, sun, etc.) it is unlikely to have such a clean break as described unless the belt was cut.
There are a ton of original 2008 Spyders out there still running the original belt. (Including mine). Some with over 100k on them.
