Any chance an Indy BMW spares and repairs outfit might cough up the annual cost to maintain the forum? They would get almost free promotion and publicity. Motorworks comes to mind. 19 Plate R1250RS Exclusive with "bells & whistles" & full colour matched luggage |

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #46 I don't think we have enough traffic to get a sponsor especially if you split things between UK, EU & USA which are separate markets

Said with all due respect and appreciation for this site community, but there is already another RS forum site out there. Also, plenty of sport-touring forums. The active participation on this board is its real strength, and that seems portable. |

I think we’ve established a great forum with quality content and respectful, supportive content. I don’t see this as true of all MC forums out there, I for one will stick to this forum so long as it lasts. |

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #50 quite a few here are also on UKGSer which has a dedicated section for R1200RS that is accessible without any subscription (and free of the twattishness behind the paywall) I suggest refugees queue up there for a blanket and bivouac if shit happens https://www.ukgser.com/forums/forumdispl...9-R1200-1250-RS

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #51Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #50 I think that’s a good suggestion Wessie - now is up to all of us to make a note of that “safe harbour “ |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #54 https://www.xobor.de/forum-erstellen.html (link at the bottom of the page) says from free reading more, using a .com domain is a premium service with a 12 euro a month fee which also gives storage for photos and Richard's cartoons https://www.xobor.de/xobor-premium-service.html

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #58Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #57Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #56 If I can be bold and jump in with my interpretation... 144 Euro per year is the cost to host the site for the selected configuration. Note that I think there is an additional 12 Euro per month to have the site ad free. This is separate from the annual cost to register the domain (r1200rsforum.com). These are usually fairly cheap - the company I use charges the equivalent of 11 Euro per year for the domain. You can get cheaper prices for both domains and hosting but you often discover down the track where they save their money. |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #57Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #56then whatever the domain costs to host which is a separate matter to the forum platform Yep, that's the thing - spread over the 1829 members it's absolutely peanuts, but when it's all being paid by a single individual who's evidently lost interest in the site - you have to ask why he's even bothering? Ultimately though, you do also need someone to put some time in as well, otherwise there's nobody to resolve issues like granting URL posting rights to newbies... Anyway, I'm delighted people are at least now discussing this!
