yep same here, but looks like andre is stepping up again? darn, what if he keeps on paying and we never get a chance to contribute?

craig · 03-12-2006, 06:58 PM

i have like three bucks... i could give you that much.

witeshark · 03-12-2006, 11:42 PM

Haha! I have umm... 4?

Haha, I appreciate your support guys (seriously, the fact that you'd donate anything truly means a lot), however I just was on AIM and Edwin (e_andres55) has once again stepped up and volunteered to take care of it. Thanks!

It's people like you guys who make this community what it is. Without such support and dedication, we'd have never been able to experience the rapid growth and success that we have.

And beyond that, the next 3-4 months should play out to be very interesting, as I expect our growth to greatly increase (and there is one major surprise coming in the next few days. Not functionality, but something different).

Our growth is truly phenomenal. One year ago United Bimmer didn't exist at all, and since then we've branded the name, established a community, gained a foothold in internet real estate (backlinks), compiled a high-quality knowledge base, and grown from 0 to over 1000 members (starting from scratch is much more difficult than growing from say 12,000 members to 13,000... imagine how hard it is to convince someone to join a forum that has 30 members... heh).

Our 1 year birthday is coming up, and you guys deserve all the credit in the world for making UB what it is today, and what it'll be next year.

I have a very high respect for every one of you, and am grateful for all your contributions. Thanks.

witeshark · 03-12-2006, 11:53 PM

Nice job Harry! Edwin is a great contribution Yeah!

**nightdevils** · 03-12-2006, 11:58 PM

^^ thanks for the hard work! OOoh OOooh whats the surprise btw?

**nightdevils** · 03-13-2006, 12:00 AM

since you mentioned it, we need to expand our knowledge base a bit more... more models and perhaps we can get some existing site authors to contribute their DIYs to ub.c? What do you think?

Sure, as long as they're not in a list already like on bimmerdiy.com or anything. Our knowledge base should be all original for the most part.

We do need to work on it a bit though.

**nightdevils** · 03-13-2006, 12:10 AM

Hmm that means we need to start writing our own stuff

damn thats a lot of work ... hehe

We should have a meet to celebrate our 1-year thingy. We could combine with a BMWCCA chapter if needed to generate attendance, sponsorship, and funding.
