Hey, thats really really kind of you US folks.....we're just watching to see what happens and if Scottie gets things sorted with the old forum info etc. Hopefully it will be backed up and available, but its really nice of the outpost to offer the dispossed Brit X5ers a sub forum!!!!!

guys, this is very interesting, and sad. its always sad when a popular and friendly site goes down for 'unforseen circumstances.'

there are always at least two sides to every story, and as always, then there is the truth.

bmwgodfather (who i really don't know nor never have talked to), like it or not, has every right to buy what's available on line if its 'free and open' for whatever purpose or reason, just like x5world or xoutpost would be available, and sought after (first apparently by BMW since that is why we are no longer x5world) for various reasons.

either way, this is not our situation, or fight, to comment on. scottie a long time ago started that forum, and its a shame it is lost. i'd be more than happy to help salvage its information, or start-up a sister forum, if it would be in everyone's best interest. please be aware that unless one own's the content to that site (person leasing internet space), its hard to get to it. so, if we can salvage the site, let's do it.

i am locking the thread for a moment because:

1) its not our forum's business, nor does anyone have a right to attack or criticize internet domain sales (irregardless of how soon or what have you) it was acquired.

2) it doesn't make any sense for anyone to comment on the situation who was not involved as a member.... irregardless of what things seem like

3) please let either me or ucrewx5 know if we or our board could be of any service.
