Hi everyone!
I know this isn't quite the same as the MINI USA Owners' Lounge and message boards there, but I'm hoping we can make this a fun place to hang out.
Let's try to keep it nice. We may not have the old sheepers here, but if anyone reports a post as being an issue, I will remove it.
Spread the word about these boards.
Let me know what you want, and we can add things to make it more fun.

How well is the administration setup? Can you disable the Guest feature and who is allowed to join?

Yeah, I can. I can limit it to people have to be registered, or to people have to be approved. I figured for just trying it out, I wouldn't make people register yet.

For a trial not bad, is there a mobile app for it? I haven't really looked around too much so i wasn't sure.

Yep, there's a mobile app. I haven't checked it out yet. It's on my list of things to do. www.proboards.com/mobile-forum-app(turns out it's a paid app. Sigh.) I also haven't played around with too many of the settings yet to see what all I can change, etc. But I think it will meet our needs.

Hi. Same me, different space. I understand about some people not wanting to use The Garage, but it seems like a lot of trouble to go to when CN already has a secure space. <shrug>
Thanks for getting this going though. There are definitely some "non-garage" people with whom I'd like to keep in touch.
Well, since this is actually a bit of an introduction thread, I should [re]introduce myself...
I am owned by a 2007 Laser Blue / Laser Blue MCS Named Minion. He and I have traveled over 184,000 miles together between March 28, 2007 and the present. I am often, but not always, accompanied by The Spouse as we go on MINI Adventures both near and far. To Arkansas for pie, for instance.
We reside in the Top Right Corner (TRC) of the U.S.A., currently in Taxachusetts. Both The Spouse and I work in the computer industry, so we closely resemble geeks. Or nerds. Or most of Science Fiction fandom, of which we are a gafiated part.
I love to drive. The Spouse does not, but is willing to passeng. I sometimes scare him with my driving because Minion is so very fun to drive - both quick on the uptake and exhilarating through the twisties.
Have MINI, will travel.

I understand that he's already got a nice, secure place to be, but I don't want to lose touch with the non-Garage people, either. I don't know if this will work or not, but I want to try out the other options out there.

It feels like moving to a new house. At least the old landlords are giving us time to pack our stuff. Mostly I'll be lurking here like I did on the OL. Hugs to everyone.

Hello All,
I was absent over the weekend. I was surprised to check into the OL today to find out that there will be a change in January. I hope whatever the new OL is like will be great and we can use it. Thank you, Cheri, for setting this up for us. It's very kind of you.
I'm restless. I have a 2009 MCS Clubman named Sgt. Pepper, who prefers to be known as "The Sarge." I also have a cat named Chairman Meow who prefers to be known as "The Chairman." Go figure.
I like art, gardening, cooking, reading, and driving around in my MINI with the windows down and the radio turned up. I'm a computer scientist, software engineer, and systems administrator by day.

Yep I'm here. Why did I have to provide my birth date? I say I'm over 13 isn't that good enough? And what gives with only two choices for gender? I want to be undecided. Ya'll are just makin this to restrictive.

Sorry...If it were up to me, I wouldn't make you tell me anything, but then who knows who we'd get. (Oh wait, it's still set up to be non-restrictive, but I think I'll probably change that. What does everyone else think??)

I don't know. We would like for new owners to be able to find us but there is no avenue for that now so maybe restrict it. How would people find this without your pointer? I don't think I know enough to have a real opinion.

Ummmmmmm. Maybe we will all be here sooner than we thought. It looks like MINI pulled the plug on the OL today.

I think a lot of us aren't, Ash. It's really lousy that they shut the OL off early and didn't give people time to get their stuff.
