What happened to all the members???

Don't think Sirius will be able to help based on his updates from a few years ago on the M3Forum.net Facebook page. Sounded like he had been locked out of the admin tools and was struggling to get the site owners to release anything.

What was the username of the site owner?

Was it the admin with the E36 in his profile pic? Can't recall the username. (Sirius?)

That would be great if there was a backup, but the probability of getting the original or a backup was probably much higher a few years ago.

I think the whole problem was there were no backups, or he didn't pay for them, or something. There was some reasoning behind what happened but it was very much a massive facepalm type of moment.

Good lesson in how fickle and fleeting the internet can be. On one hand, terrible things can live online forever, while actually great and useful things can be washed away at a moment's notice.

You can use way back machine and find SOME of the old content.

Im not a some kind of person, I'm an all kind of person 😂

Purely speculation ... 😅

I wonder if I can put some money infront of him and see if he'll bight (backups if any) - he lives ± 15minutes from me (granted he's still alive).

The person who use to host it went missing and website went dark. Someone posted he may have passed away. So it had to be restarted/relisted.

I have to give huge props for Ian for taking time out of his schedule to do all of the work he did to get this forum going.

Wasn’t just me! Liam probably did the most of everyone.

Wish I could recover my old build journal. For some reason I thought someone said they had done that from the old forum archives on google. I couldn't find it though

I noticed you can add only if you search the forum name to add as “nam3”. It doesn’t show up for “m3” or “na m3”
