If you are on the forum our crap is your crap etc.

It is a subject of concern to a lot of forum members and is worth discussing.

Short replies like your own are not constructive.

Why not read the full issues and then comment or debate, tis what a forum is for young man !!

KB i am glad you have set up this forum as i had never been a member of a forum until i became a member of this one.

I had a few teething troubles with my account when i first joined and KB was very helpful in sorting it asap so i could use the forum and speak to the many helpful people on here who most i have never met before.

I shall continue to use and support this forum in anyway i can and will display the soon to be released? stickers with pride.

Nuff said...

Since we're no longer affiliated with the BMWCC, does that mean I can swear now?

Kinda guessed KB might have one, but would it have been allowed in?

I rec my letter yesterday. I was somewhat suprised that it didnt match even the 'clubs' version of events as posted! As a marketer i couldnt have done better myself! I can only imagine what those members who do not use the site think now. Still, onwards and upwards!

well i said it all along , i havent been on the boards long enough to decide to become a member but am glad i never , and k and the gang your doing a top job , and the club will be lost without your forum ..

K , i know your upset about the domain , but to be honest i think the new one is ten times easier to remember , and it will look great as a sticker , if i spotted it on a car , 'bmw board.co.uk' is ten time easier to remember  than 'bmwcarclubforum.co.uk/default.asp'

so everyone else get some stickers etc or something to publish the new forum when your at gaydon , and just sit back K and see the amount that registers to the forum ... cos the last week is gonna be the biggest talk at the show this year , and no doubt most will want to here the other side of the story ,

so an A4/5 counter leaflet could be an idea , explaining your side and your Original bmw forum should people ask at the show ( i know your not goin ) but others could pass them out 'if asked ' becasue peolpe are down right nosey and its an easy chance to get some more recruits ..

funny really because i remember him doing that

and why should they know my password if i want to be on their forum

why not just let you sign on, and then they can check your name and membership number are correct before activating your account

if i have to give out password to anyone then i'm not gonna sign up, no way

For 35 quid I would figure enrollment in their forum would be automatic.

apart from the domain!

I am betting that will work out in the end though. From the sounds of it they didn't really use legal channels to accomplish it.

Have anyone had emails off Richard baxter and Mike Fishwick through Jeff giving their support for him - I read in Richards that K shouldn't have had the forum under him and "hold the club to ransom". I'm sorry but if it's K's money that pays for the site and the running of then damned right he should be the owner of it, really has sod all to do with the club. Rant over...

RE: passwords, I think they are doing this as we poited out that non-club members could sign in as a club member if they knew someones name and membership number. It's suprising how many people have posted their details in the past.
