OT clone website?

[guinness]

I was looking at E34s for sale today and I found myself at a site that at first glance i thought to be this one, its called bimmerwerkz. The site looks like it was copied from here. Anybody know anything about this?

Probably just uses similar forum software

this website it nothing like bimmer.info. this website is poor, some would say (me included), "don't waste your time", comapared to bimmer.info, it's like night and day, apples and oranges, BMW's to fords, there is NO comparison :)

I agree Kris, it just looked like somebody was trying to rip off this site.

it's just a vb format forum that looks like this one, they show over 22k members and we are at just over 4k maybe we copy'd them :D

Heh, I think they get like 1 post per day in thier 5 series forum... they are on my list of sites that I hit daily, but I think the last time I read a thread there was a month ago.

The forum software used on this site is very popular and very cheap. LOTS of sites use it.

I though it was free?

I though it was free?No, it's actually a software you have to buy.

'werkz has been around for a loooooooong while. They used to have different software, but switched to vB about the same time bimmer.info did.

It was interested to see that they had regional forums including one for California--but all the stuff on it was Bay area people and stuff.

No, it's actually a software you have to buy.....

Maybe that why I ending up not going with it last time I looked....
