May I ask why you are seeking information on your German ancestors on the Manx (Isle fo Man) genealogy BB? [NB Isle of Man is in the Irish Sea between England & Ireland)

Wouldn't it be better to go to http://rootsweb.com, click on message boards and locate the relevant board/s for your research? There you will find thousands of BBs and while I haven't checked, I am more than sure if you search you will find the relevant ones for your German research.
