[QUOTE="Daredevil, post: 213155, member: 8"] Ladies & gentlemen. Brothers and sisters. Let's put this topic to rest now and move on to more constructive activities. I believe this thread was started by Daniel and the question posed was to [B]inquire Why is the 'Tech & Peformance' Section private? [/B] It's simply one of the committee and advisors' trial attempt to explore different modes of encouraging and boosting official membership signup. I made an official announcement weeks earlier about this step and a deadline was given. So I believe it's only fair if we do something as indicated. It is by no means to penalise anyone of the 6k plus registered forumers here. Being a marketer myself, I believe in the 'law of heavy traffic' acting as the key magnet to attract organic growth. If our main intention is to close down most of the threads in the forum with the objective of getting people to pay up (to enjoy special official m'ship privilege), not only the 'tech & Performance' will be closed down. The first threads we'll clamp down would be 'General Discussions' and 'Autobahn'. These 2 threads generate the highest traffic. Point to note here is how much non-BMW related issues most of us happily and automatically contribute to [B][COLOR=Navy]when this is obviously a BMW Club to serve an obvious purpose.
