    Forum is up for sale. @poita is the man to speak to if you're interested or know someone who is. If he doesn't get a buyer by the 30th June, that's when the forum will close, as he has a lot of other projects on the go.

    Ah! Thats what i remember seeing. Hopefully someone will be able to take it on. Its tempting for me, but I'm very new here and I have a lot of other things on the go as well.
    There aren't any other Opel Australia Forums around that i know of so it would suck if this once closes down. :/

    Yes, it would suck. This place has been like a second home for many of us over the last few years and those of us who have been here for a long enough time would be sad to see it go, but that's just the way things go.

    One would hope that now that cars like the Commodore being replaced by the Insignia, Cruze being replaced with the Astra K and possibly a few more Opel models replacing Holden product, that there'd be an increased interest in this forum. Only problem is, it'll be a couple of years before that happens unfortunately and that may not be at the right time to save the forum.

    Had any bites yet mate? What kind of pricing is involved with hosting this forum? Do you run a server from home?
