For those on this forum that overlapped with the MOT (Mini Owners of Texas) forum:
The MOT forum hosting was not renewed and the site has closed down. MOT in its various forms (from an informal email list, to a WIKI, to the final forum) had a long and valiant run, but gradually fell into disuse. The domain owner and headmaster of MOT, John Lieberman, decided last fall to wind it down and allow the hosting to expire. The group brought many fond memories.
Sad to see a good forum die.....I've been worried about this one's lack of participation lately too......I'm hopeful that as the weather has improved people will have their Minis out and something to write about.....
