Well what did you think Jon.

[alex-e30]

I forgot the most important thing didn't I.


Well I hate change, i'm extremely old fashioned when it comes to things changing on computers, give me one thing and its fine. Ebay for example, I hate it, always changing....






....This on the other hand looks really really good. Much more professional and dare I say it, business like. Its been facelifted from a forum into a community perhaps? I was very impressed and thats good going for someone who hates change.

It's successfully passed the Jon_Bmw seal of approval, you can now implement it folks.

[FlappySocks]

The Zone will have a dedicated pipeline and bandwidth of 1000 GB a month which is pretty serious stuff

About $100 a month on a Linode. £100 on a UK server.

Support for OpenID would be nice.

Ahh The Shoiure. Sows use all hobbits then???

[GrindCulture]

As if I don't have enough trouble trying to motivate myself to actually do something looks great.

[HarvyS]

That looks top bananas! Bring on the new zone! will all the topics carry over aswell or will it be start afresh?

[d6dph]

The database should all go over, There maybe some really recent threads that get lost as always with these sort of things.

[StuBeeDoo]

My equipment doesn't have video or audio capability.
Does this mean I won't be able to use the new Zone?

[fuzzy]

no video or audio? what sort of pc do you have?

[d6dph]

This is just a preview of the new zone Stu, You will be fine in the new forum.

(Was your pc lifted from the Ark?)

[StuBeeDoo]

no video or audio? what sort of pc do you have?

Not a PC, it's a laptop. IBM Thinkpad about 7 years old. 20gb hard drive + 256mb RAM.

[Cloud]

I bet that was the mutt's nuts seven years ago.

[ric325i]

wish i had more/any time to put into this but wow its come out good!


really love how professional it looks. very slick. bravo.

[HartgeH27]

Thanks to Steve, Aly and Hoshy, the brains behind it.

[Simon13]

this is going to be mega like the last change over from the real OLD zone ala runboard! only 5 pm's etc!

Um can old threads be carried over? Me 2 door resto isn't finished yet!

[d6dph]

We are looking to have a very special section for threads just like yours Si, It's called "E30zone Gold"

Basically any thread that is a good read and a real source of inspiration will be moved in there as a showcase of the sort of things our members get up to.

[Jon_Bmw]

Is Haps Pina thread going to end there. That is true Zone Gold!

[Ziggy]

Anyone seen/heard from Hap recently?

[Simon13]

stop it! But cheers, actually Steve said on sunday he was looking at the new zone last week with my pina 2dr in it. I did give him a funny look but this thread explains alot!

Any old bitching threads going over then too?

Is this new baby raising the bar right up like last time? E30zone where ahead of the game with this forum long whilst everyone else was still on runboard stuff

Great job guys, heros as always. I had a hard time adjusting over last time. It seems along time ago too!

Says 2hrs 16 minutes to download for me
No other way of viewing it?

[d6dph]

Do you want me to email it over Tony. It may be quicker?

[eko]

Do you want me to email it over Tony. It may be quicker?

Yes please mate tonybedford@blueyonder.co.uk

[Jon_Bmw]

I think you'll find it will take an earth to upload Dave.

The fat Americans have are all logged on so thats why its probably quite slow. It took me 5 mins at 9ish this morning, might be easier then?

[d6dph]

You're right Jon, It's not playing ball at all Sorry Tony

[eko]

No worries.Down to 55 minutes now and 37% downloaded so ill just bide my time

[d6dph]

I think it's worth it, Well if Si and Jon say it's good it must be!


Just like to echo Iains comments, Well done to the guys that have been working very hard behind the scenes sorting this out. I really can't wait to "move in"

[march109]

viva le zone.

[aceraf]

Looks very cool, and some good features in there aswell.

Think most of the build threads should be carried over, I know I for one don't have the early pics i took of my touring anymore, and if I lost the thread, they'd be gone for good.

Looking good through, when's it switching over?

[Cloud]

Here's the video as video files. Quality is very low (though twice the quality of YouTube vids, so not too bad) especially on the WMV file, and I couldn't seem to record audio from the Shockwave file, and as I don't have any Metallica (though I do have a good selection of other 80s metal) I just poured over some Prodigy, for the simple reason that it was the same length as the video file. But, it'll still do the business for showing off the lovely new E30zone.

Two formats, and three places to download.

26.6MB WMV file from Speedyshare
38.2MB MPG file from sendspace
38.2MB MPG file from cRapidShare


Hope this helps.
