Two years ago today at 10:00 AM CT Motoring Alliance went live. In that two years thanks to your support we have grown quite a bit to almost 4000 registered members. The best part is that in these two years the site has kept it's original mission to be the home for MINI Enthusiasts on the Internet. For those of you that have not read the Welcome Post that explains why M/A was created please click me. Motoring Alliance is your site, I may own the name and pay the bills but it is what you make it. I can't thank y'all enough for making it place where most everyone feels comfortable, where a newby can post a question that has been covered and instead of chastising then to use search y'all provide the answers in a welcoming manner. A site were different ideas are discussed, mostly without personal attacks when there is disagreement. A site where the staff can take a week off and not worry about content. Thank you all for keeping that small site feeling even as we grow. M/A will not be sitting on it's laurels either. There are plans in the works to make the site even better over the next year. We are looking into adding a M/A app soon to replace Tapatalk with even more features. The Garage will soon be renovated with some new features and soon we'll be going over the Wheel Finder to bring it more up to date and easier to use. Your ideas and comments, both positive and not so positive are always welcome too. Besides the membership the Sponsors of Motoring Alliance have been in integral part since the planning stages of the site. Without their support from Day 1 M/A would only have been an idea. Like M/A these sponsors are almost all small business owners that are possionate about MINIs and Minis. Please support them as well. Thanks for your support of Motoring Alliance Nathan
Thanks to you Nathan and your faithful moderators. I have never posted this much, anywhere, in my life. Very comfortable place indeed. Jim
Thanks to Nathan and M/A I look forward every day to logging in and checking in with all the threads! Hats off to you all! Nathan, when do I have to renew my sponser status? Cheers Mr. Jim
Have, to...never, it is voluntary and is appreciated. Your current expiration date is 06-30-2011. Your date is also 06-30-2011
Nate, 2 years, wow Your right that the overall tone of this site is a direct tribute to it's members and sponsors. Nice place to be Please do take a bow though as you have acted as a most admirable ringmaster for this bunch of miscreants (myself included!)
Nathan, thanks to you and MA, Mid-Ohio Motoring has become a closer bunch of MINIacs with a web home that allows us to be ourselves without looking over our shoulder waiting for someone to tell us to get back on topic....we just aren't very good at following organized directions In addition to providing us with the platform to be ourselves, we are happy to have you with us in Columbus enjoying what an unorganized group of enthusiasts enjoy....everything (including loads of food and fresh donuts)
Nobody brought any Tim Horton's. All I got were doughnuts from the lodge which may have been fresh at some point. Jim
Mark I don't know what you are talking about,we are always on topic...now what was this thread about? Mmmmm Donuts... Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
