lol vric, lets hope not and hope he gets this Joke over with or problem fixed!

[Vric]

oh and if it's still true after april fool, I have a legal Ubb (Ultimate bulletin board) licence that sit and waiting to be used. I could setup it on my website for a start so we could stay in tutch for further devlopement. I have unlimited bandwith, but low space. We would need a good server for the modelling comunity, but we will see that later

[Skateforfood]

how do you go about getting one of these ubb's

[Vric]

anyway, there is so many ppl that would like to donate if it's true, even me i would give what i got in hand to save it.. i think there's a lot of user that come more than 1 time by day here that would be able to give at least 5$ to save this place.

I'm web Designer and Network administrator.. i got this license for a client that never used it so, I still have it in my hand.. so a nice 199$Us Licenses. anyway, we will see, my webhost could not hold 100 users at a time it will blow

Anyway there's Phpbb that is free too.. I already installed them so I can setup praticly anything (it's my job after all )

[SchuberT]

hehe vric you read my mind... i've been waiting for Oz to pm me back about the use of bandwidth this forum has... i was hoping i could set up some suckier invision boards... i have 50gigs of rollover bandwidth, which means i've piled up about 500gigs since i got my hosting... unlimited is always better though

Vric what are you saying you can keep the fourms or make new ones?

[igor@af]

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is with my greatest regret that I write this.

AutomotiveForums.com has been online since November of 2000 - well over 3 years. In our time, AF has grown from being a small site struggling to gain new members to a website that is overflowing with wonderful people from various countries around the world. On our journey, we have had our ups and downs, this current 'down' is unfortunately way below the waist.

AutomotiveForums.com will officially shut down on April 5th, 2004. The domain name, in remembrance of the great website that it has grown to be, will remain held and unavailable.

I wish I had been keeping a running list of people I would like to thank for this inopportune moment. But... I had never in my wildest dreams thought this day would come.

I want to thank everyone that I have come in touch with over the past years through AF for your help, advice, assistance, and everything else.

I cannot write any longer as it brings forth too much pain.

We hope that you will remember AF as a great community that was once the strongest online, truly "connecting the auto enthusiasts" of all kinds.

It's been an incredible ride. I hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as I have.

Sincerely,

Igor Sushko
