I'm part of a few forums myself, which are free, jon44w is a large car site, it recieves money to pay for the site by people buying things like T-Shirts, Fleece & Stickers aswell as DVD's.
NI-BMW is another forum i'm part of, good wee site, it is basically free, last year we were charged a membership fee, which helped to pay for the site. I havn't recieved this letter as I never paid 35 to join the club, which would be a bit of a waste IMO, as I don't drive, and I don't attend any of the shows in england or enter a car, and I only use the forum, so why should we pay to use it? Kbannon is doing a damn good job of keeping this place going, and should he ask for money, then i'll see if I can rob a post office or some place!  |

I got the same little letter through my door today. I would like to know what forums they visited that everyone was using there real name on. lol. Also I would like to know what club forums they went to that only paying members can post. I belong to 2 VW forums, and Porsche Club of GB and none of them require you to be a paying member before posting (unless they have changed in the last few days that is) Oh well. Better off with out them and K I have to say, Excellent Job on the forum. Looks wonderful and nothing appears to have been lost

 i aim to pleaseWith reference to stickers for gaydon, even a url type sticker would be beneficial over no stickers. Once the logo is designed then i can look at producing them asap. Just to add, i have just recieved a lovely bit of toilet paper from bmwcc! |

I recently joined the club thinking that i would like to get more involved in events ect, Having read this and the threads on the E30 zone i am no longer convinced.
Well done for standing up to "the man", after all if they can do this, what else can they do? Im disgusted by it to be honest. If you need any help with BMW-Board stickers, im more than willing to help and you have a pm reguarding this. All the best Dave  |

I'm so happy, for all the members and moderators. Shame about the circumstances with the BMW Car Club but, it just goes to show people power is that counts. Power to the people (Citizen Smith)

I've just found out about this, but am not in the least surprised. Big Brother had been grinding us down for too long, and it took guys like Killian, Eamo and others to stand up to them. Fair dues to ye and you have my full support. If you need any help with anything, like promoting the new better forum just give me a bell.

Yep well done Killian, it tickles me pink that they can treat people in this way.
I will still be at Gaydon showing mine and helping to organise the E30 Register show but I am not sure of my involvement thereafter. I admire your principles and resolution !!! Iain |

Sunday was one of those days where you wish you hadn't got out of bed that morning - it wasn't very pleasant at that posh golf club (wonder how much that costs the club for the marketting suite, food etc.?)..
This was also the first time I'd met Killian and Eamo, and I have to say I was proud to be there. Killian did a sterling job of keeping his nerve in front of the con-mittee (oops, sorry - typo). They didn't make it easy for him at all (about an hour and a half it lasted, with the decision allready made by the con-mittee (oops done it again, must be my keyboard) ) I wondered if we made the right decision when we went outside for a private discussion on what to do - especially as it affected several thousand members. Hopefully we did the right thing, and looking at the support I'm sure we did. Killian, you are a star - you stood up for what you believed in, what more can you say.  |
