How Did You Hear About Us?

So, how did you end up finding the Club?  As part of better figuring out how to cultivate membership across the web (and world), it is important to see how folks wind up in this little haven of M42 glory.  So, fill out the poll, and comment if you feel the need.  I am always a fan of the 'random find' story...looking on Google for red ceramic tree-pots and somehow having this site appear in the (unrelated) mix!

How did I find it?  I sorta had the idea for an E30 M42 club and got a little group going within the Bimmerforums E30 tech section. It was done in a single (monsterous) thread on October 21, 2005.  Once it became clear that there truly was a REAL interest in exploring the M42's potential, a couple very generous guys got this forum up & running.  You know who you are lol, chime in!

The beginning of the movement:

I think I found the bimmerforum post through a search engine. I had just gotten the car the day before so I was on a quest for all the M42 info I could find.

Before I bought my car I was searching google for 318is and you guys came up.  Also before I joined I read the forums and was so impressed with the focus of the group I joined.  I hope this place never resorts to the trash talking and flaming and questionable off topic content, common on so many forums.

I saw Sheepdog's post on Bimmerforums about a bunch of M42 upgrades. I accidentally voted for "saw post on other forum" though.

Crap I meant to click QUOTE not EDIT.

I found out there was going to be some kind of m42 oriented forum around a year ago on bimmerforums. It was great to see to that there would be a forum dedicated to our cars. I was tired of seeing everything posted, related to e30 325i's.

Im glad to be here since the forum was just starting up.

viva la m42club

:D

yeah I don't get the joke with thumper3ld.  Does he run around saying he is member #2 as much as I flaunt being #1  lol?

The forum is glad that people joined, too.

Viva M42Club, damn right.  It will only be a few more years until total world domination.....

I moved your vote.  The poll must be kept accurate, or the rip in the fabric of space-time will grow out of control, enveloping everything.

I found the club through the Bimmerforums thread starting it.

I found the site when I decided someone needed to take Bmwman91's idea seriously and run with it. I had room on my server so I went and registered the domain, figuring (hoping?) that Bmwman91 would appreciate helping it get started.

Shortly after another person who took it seriously helped fund the forum software and we were off and running.



I hope everyone has found this place helpfull.

I found the forum through eurocca.net, an Aussie BMW forum.  

Good to see some of the other boys on here as well.
