I'm not certain of the time frame, most of us will only be seeing the site for the first time today.

cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply Robb. Hope everything goes smoothly with the transition and we retain the relationship of most of the vendors as some of them started out as members here and grew a business with the support of the forum and contributed greatly to helping out other members.

Dave and Mark, thanks for all you effort in getting this site up and growing into the forum it is today! Along with the excellent moderators, this is the the best forum I have found out there...

Looking forward to the meeting the Internet Brands folks.

Thanks for the information. We will do our absolute best to work with all existing vendors so as to keep them onboard. I can't promise everyone will remain, but we will certainly try.

cheers,

My thanks too to Mark, Das, Rudy and Andre. You guys rock and you all made a fantastic contribution to making this place what it is.

I will say that one of the things I most enjoyed about E60.net and then 5Series.net was that it was a site for enthusiasts run and moderated by enthusiasts. While I fully understand the reasons for the transition, I do hope that under Internet Brands we can keep that sense of community.

Anyway - thanks again guys. I really appreciate everything you guys do.

I think we can keep it as is, as IB is not changing moderators.
They only added two admins but Rudy and myself will be here as your moderators. So, IB doesn't want a drastic change as this could harm the community.

We're also both car guys. I've had something like 23, or 24 of them so far

Iceman is correct, we won't be adding ourselves into the mix, we're just here as support, and to enable what we can from our positions.

cheers,
robb
