#1 | Forum birthday datum

Tue May 07, 2019 3:03 pm

Today the forum has its 1st birthday.

On May 7, 2018, I started the forum after the "old forum" was suddenly and unexpectedly offline.

In the "Old Forum" I was not too long a member and have also posted little posts because I first wanted to get to know the "English-speaking habits". But I did not have a chance anymore, suddenly and unexpectedly the forum was gone.
The search for the replacement was unsuccessful and Grumpy had become the only point of contact with his YouTube Channel.

I thought it was a pity that there would be no other forum as before and googled a bit and put the "New Forum" online. No idea how to run a forum and only with school English the adventure now takes much longer as expected and intended.
My thanks to Wessie and Grumpy for acting as moderators, my apologies to you all who have endured "my English" so leniently.

But it's fun to read the many informative - funny - stupid - useless - nice posts or to view the pictures.
Had hardly thought that meanwhile so many forum members from all over the world have come to heart. I think I'm getting old and melancholy?

Anyway, thanks for being here.

Cheers
Holger

Thanks for starting this forum Holger. Much appreciated.

Actually, I was becoming a bit concerned that this Happy Birthday message was popping up --- because it was recently my birthday and I was wondering how the f#ck this forum knew my birthday when I didn't put that information in my profile!

So Happy Birthday -- to the forum.

...my apologies to you all who have endured "my English" so leniently.

No apology necessary. We English speakers are probably the laziest people on the planet when it comes to languages; we expect the rest of the world to speak English as well!

So, like I said, no apology is necessary because your English is excellent. I very much doubt whether many English/American/Australian/New Zealand/(insert other country) native English speakers here would be able to contribute, post, or possibly understand anything on any other foreign language forum, so respect is due for setting up and running this madhouse. I mean forum.

Happy birthday to the forum!

Cheers

Paul B.

Thank you Holger for stepping in and bringing the RS forum back to life after the previous mess up.

As Paul stated we are the laziest of people for languages and I have no problem understanding your excellent english

Happy birthday to a great forum.

As Paul so eloquently put it, we as English speakers are lazy buggers, I tried whilst living in Germany to take part in a German run forum and I nearly died several deaths of poor grammer and vocabulary so I for one (along with all the others here) doft my cap to you Holger and say thank you.

We're not so much lazy, more lacking in a need to have other languages to thrive. Mainly thanks to the US nowadays, not the UK.

Well done Holger! I just love signing in and seeing what other BMW 1200 aficionados (thank God for spellcheck) have to say. You have done a magnificent job in resurrecting the Forum - many thanks!

PS A side benefit is your improving English. You will soon speak like a native
