Greetings,

There are quite a lot of folks, including me, who are not happy with the changes made to the BenzWorld and Mbnz Forums. Fwiw, it was a forced hostile takeover by a new owner; and the new software that's being used is most certainly not as user friendly as the old.

Because of this, a new website with Forums has been started. I think you'll find that it has all the user friendly features of the old BenzWorld plus some nice new added by request features. We are looking for a general migration of disgruntled loyal BW members over to the new one, which is located here:

http://www.pointedthree.com/disc/

More specifically:

http://www.pointedthree.com/disc/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=57

Since everything is brand new, there's still not much going on over there yet; but keep an eye on it. Jump in, if you wish. Since I don't like the format of the new BW, I will most likely be moving away from there and spending the more of my time on PointedThree. See you there.

Happy Trails!

DUTCH

PS. For obvious reasons, I can't make announcementgs like this on the new BenzWorld Forum; so pass the word! :wink:

Not right now. Did you note the adjective used to describe the change? "Non-compete" goes with that. :?

I was confused for a moment there, as I regularly check the UK AND US forums, but now it makes sense, thanks for letting us know the events behind the events. I'm also signing up on the new one to see how it goes, though it would be a pity to lose all the archives off BW.
