For many of us Canucks, we're about to lose our access to alt.autos.bmw when Rogers stops carrying usenet December 15th.
Anyone know of a good alternate location to discuss all things BMW?
Thanks,
Kevin
Where else to discuss Bimmers?

You can still read and participate in the groups using Google. Click on "Groups" and then "Advanced Groups Search". It's not as easy but it works.

alt.autos.bmw can also be viewed on Google...

Also, Roadfly.com

and BimmerBoard.com

are pretty high traffic sites that are also very helpful and fun to hang out in. Kyle

You don't need an alternative - use a free newsserver, that way you will be able to continue reading and posting on alt.autos.bmw .
Have a look at
formatting link
(down for the moment, Ibelieve) - here, you can find a list of free newsservers. Not all of themare online, not all of them allow posting. I've found very decent newsservers on this site before, but I do not have a list at hand of one specific newsserver. Just try a few of them (post to alt.test or something similar) and you'll be fine.
Should
formatting link
remain down, do a Google search for "freenewsservers", and you can look at the site in cache, or you can locate othersites that list free servers. Hope this helps!

Hi Jino,
Check my earlier post - I've just had a look, and it appears that
formatting link
is back up again. There youcan find a lot of NNTP hosts which you can use to read/post news for free. Regards,
