What happened to all the members???

[Arith2]

One of the problems I've noticed is the E46 fanatics and bimmerforum took my post mentioning this site very quickly. They don't want to share. It's not about us, it's about them when the forum is supposed to be about everyone on it. That kind of thing really grinds my gears. It's the one thing I hate about capitalism, it becomes corporate socialism. We can just spread the word when we get the chance. I tell every person I see, or meet about this forum is it can help them. I slip it into YouTube comments but I have no social media so that's where my attempts stop. Let's just advertise this site as much as possible because it really is helpful whether you own an E46 M3 or just love BMWs in general.

Wasn't Sapote that guy that literally argued with everyone about everything?

OT but somewhat related... has E46Fanatics always been owned by Vertical Scope aka the cartel of internet forums?

It looks like Vertical Scope just migrated E46F over to XenForo too.

Think they bought it about a year ago.

Looks like they updated their forum. Been a long time needed. True that forum is busier than others and a lot more posters too.

Think people are split up between there and the other Mforum that started the same time as this one. :clueless:

I don’t think so— that e46 section only has one post so far this month, and that was you

XenForo is absolute garbage and completely killed M5board, I hope this forum never goes that route.

To answer OP's question, a lot of people will be upset that all of their content was lost and will simply give up, some don't know this site exists, some people won't like the new name, etc. etc. Eventually, this forum will get to the glory but it will take some time. And for people that have issues with the site, I'm sure all of the kinks will work out with time as well-- this website has only been up for what? Three months? Gotta be patient.

XenForo is about a thousand times better than the software we’re running here, which is the source of many of the problems people are complaining about atm. VBulletin 3 and 4 were great, 5 is awful. XenForo is mostly built by devs of the original VBulletin

I’ve been spending more time of Facebook groups. I’ve lost a lot of brain cells reading the stupid stuff there.

plan to spend more time here...I hope brain cells regenerate.

Well E46Fanatics is defintely busier than here.

Haha well if you've been over to the other forum to see posts then you've been spending time there. So it has been splitting up your time. 💭💡:idea:

I think Braymond141 started mforum.net


Some members may have jumped there, though it seems very inactive.

I checked it because of your post to see if you were right

M3f was an old ass forum. Probably had lots of dead accounts. For how many m3 are probably on the road and owned by enthusiast 1400 doesn't seem bad.

Its mostly E36 guys there, and that section seem very active.

Very active is a bit of a stretch. In 3 months that section has only a little over 500 posts

NA part might be throwing people off. North American or naturally aspirated........

M3Forum.us currently redirects here, that would drop the NA but make it a "US" domain.
