WR1oc closing soon

Lack of activity on the WR1oc forum means the site will have to close. Sad news, but don't shoot the messenger.

Instead of having a pic of a featured car in the centre of the home-page, we should have a webcam(/toiletcam) showing what a few members are up to.

I am SO happy that you can't send webcam videos yet to a mobile phone.

Mind you, you sent me a video of the beers on Sunday, spike... I can't imagine what else some here would think of sending... :roll:

Unfortunately, it is.

Spoke to Dan tonight and we have no other option.

Not enough members, not enough quality posting and too high costs for running the site.

So no renewal on October 1st. :cry:

by **Megaman** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:15 pm

If you are serious... what is the big cost associated with keeping the site up and running?

If its hosting I can help out if need be possibly

by **Chris 280** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:19 pm

by **WR1 WOZA** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:52 pm

It's not about the domain-name, mate, it's the running costs of the server.

We're paying according to the amount of traffic and Dan is running at about Â£300 per month. With a young family, the alimony to pay to his ex and slow business, I understand that is pretty hard.

Anyway, respect his decision.

Think a few folk fell for it? :lol:

I was starting to think hang on surely they won't do this will they?

Where will all the new owners of WR1s be able to do their research on future buys and get their info tips advice etc.
Think It's quiet during the day as everybody's at work earning money to fuel up their 1s :lol:

...well except me. :oops:

Erm, Bro, we really shouldn't joke or confuse our members about this.

I thought we were going to be open and honnest about this?
