Thanks for the update Boss.

As this can't be happening, when will we be shutting the forum down?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Because our site never took off, and because we have no business being in business more than two years later, we should start the wrap-up process soon.

:biggrin

Agree....."soon" is a good date.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Absolutely. Very soon.

Forgot to mention that we are now approaching a quarter-million posts on the forum. My rule of thumb is that you can call yourself legit when you hit half a million.

When we hit half a million posts, we should consider shutting the site down. That should all but prove that we had no business being a forum in the first place.

You guys are hilarious! Thanks for the update Boss... I haven't been around here very long, but I have always been impressed that such a niche forum (ONE trim level of ONE model car, only for 3 years production) has produced such a strong following.

:thumbsup to awesome people making an awesome forum. Let me know when you're ready to shut down, I'll go delete all my PMs. :rofl

... :thumbsup to awesome people making an awesome forum.

We just needed an excuse to build a community like this. We figured a BMW package was all the excuse we needed.

I need to get on this tapatalk thing

This site sucks, it was a nice experiment, nice try, I guess it's back to mediocrity, NOT. :)

[echo46]

Wow, great stuff, bossman.

[danewilson77]

Absolutely. Very soon.

It's funny....because I left for about 30 minutes, and came back, and the sites still here.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I just took a nap. Site still here. Crazy.

This is probably the only forum where I can name at least the top 10 active members either by username, real name, or both.
Can't do that with any other forum.

Pretty impressive stats Marcus! Nice to see how this place has grown.

For some reason I can't get the Dec. 2010 link to work. Getting this message.....

MrMaico, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

^marcus didnt tell you before he banned you?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Barry, your account has always been special. I will go through your account later and see if there is anything in it that makes it really special.

I received the same message, only joined on Xmas Day 2010, guess I'm still a newbie.

[johnrando]

Still here? Hmmmm.

[Mtnman]

This place is getting annoying. It just keeps hanging around.....and hanging around.....and right when you are sure its gone....its still there.

[GMATT]

Like the ZHP, this place is NOT SPECIAL;)

I guess I am on super super secrete probation as I got the same message when I tried to open the link. I'm sorry for whatever I did and on bended knee request forgiveness.

[johnrando]

Yup, I'm blocked too.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I see what happened. I linked you guys to a moderator forum on the site. Sorry about that. I have removed the link.
