Dear all,
Around about now OzVMX is some 5 years old. As I have said before, it's been quite a ride and the website has been far more successful than I ever imagined it would be. I am very glad that it has been, and that I have in some way contributed to the growth of VMX in Australia. However, it's a big job and one that I can no longer keep up, at least not well enough to keep the faith.
So, at the end of this year, I will be scaling it back considerably. Here's what will happen.
1. The main website will be closed. I may leave online what is there right now as a sort of archive or museum, but there will no longer be an OzVMX Home Page/website.
2. OzVMX will be just the forum. In other words, type in
www.ozvmx.com and you'll get this forum.
3. The Classies system will be closed. All advertising will need to be via the forum. I hope to increase the storage space available, and this will make it possible to add images etc again.
4. There may be a brief period while the site is unavailable as I will most likely transfer the whole thing to a different hosting provider (to get the additional space).
5. I hope to appoint moderators to the forum. These people will take on the job of looking after the place for me. I'll remain as site admin and will still try to keep on top of how it's all running.
6. Maintaining the BMCC and VCM websites will continue if those clubs wish me to do so.
So, OzVMX will continue, but in a slightly smaller way. As it is, the Forum is the main part of OzVMX, and I think that'll pretty much continue as long as it works and is as active and successful as it is now.
