Webmaster Phil is the site owner I as an editor do not have moderator access even if the account access was available myself and Mike are unable to take on the ownership or start a new website but if somebody does wish to do this in the future I will forward the CD to them in the meantime myself and JPW are continuing our research on BAOR in the 1940s and the results of this will appear on a blog details to follow do stress that I am still working full time so have very little free time

I joined this site so i could look at all the photos on here both to remember my time in BAOR and to help with my model making.
What is going to happen to these photos etc?

Gents,
We had the same problem with our church website and eventually decided to migrate the whole thing to Weebly because the replacement offered by MS is expensive and frankly, not suitable. It seems to work very well. The costs are relatively low but the days of completely free websites seem to have gone forever.

Microsoft have sent out a series of warnings about closure over the last 3 months. They say that 30 Apr 12 is the date on which all MS Office Live sites, of which this is one, will be closed on that date. Hence St Mary's reason for going elsewhere.

Look at my messages above. I would be entirely happy to take part of this on but I'd need considerable assistance.

It is interesting to note that at this time (1604 on a Sunday afternoon) no one has come forward with anything positive and yet there apear to be 65 guests online. That says something about the perceived value of the site.

And poor old Freddy Mercer at the BBC has received no support at all! What are we all coming to?

I've just found this site following a thread in the ARRSE Old & Bold forum saying that it was closing down.

I haven't read through any entries but if the problem is looking for a hosting site then I might be able to help. I manage the Royal Signals Contact website royal-signals.org.uk and may be able to offer space on our server?

PM me if you think I can be of assistance.

Gentlemen

This is a very sad day with the demise of the site in its current format

My thanks to Steve and Mike for their valiant efforts to keep it going after our original webmaster jumped ship

There is an absolute wealth of history and experiences relevent to the History of BAOR to be found on these pages and it is good to know that Steve has found away to preserve this vital data

We have had our achievements over the years Personally I think the History of the Canadian presence in BAOR compiled by Stephen Locke for the Soest years and Bob Ritters input on the Hannover days plus the contributions from others makes a unique record record not easily found elsewhere (Steve and I are attempting to construct a similar data base for the 45/46 period but it is a challenging tasks)
Other memorable moments over the past 5 years include
1 Reuniting the long lost brother and sister
2 The Tasmanian based Ferret now sporting the correct 9/12th Lancers colours of the 1960s
3 Helping the daughter of a Jewish survivor of a concentration camp trace her mothers movements in the immediate post war period

As Steve has mentioned elsewhere he and I intend to continue to research and record the early days of BAOR, hopefully to be published on Steve's site and on BAOR Locations should the site be ever resurrected in its current format

Good luck to all our contributors past and present and a special mention to the General Staff who have provided many hours of light hearted banter to lift the spirits in an other wise dull world.

A while back, I logged on one morning to find that artillery-friends.net had closed down.
Sounds silly but it left a hole for a while.

If I wake up tomorrow to find that this excellent site has gone the same way, then let me say that I've enjoyed reading the solid history matter and the daft banter on here.

I'll miss you blokes.

Good luck.

Haaarumph ! (sniff !). Sad

Welcome to the forum Mike

There seems to be some interest out there

http://www.arrse.co.uk/old-bold/180994-closure-baor-locations-website-30-apr-12-a.html

Will be in touch when and if the website goes down as have a CD put together by a former Royal Signals friend who has the skills but is not a forum member as Webmaster Phil may turn up at the 11th hour

Best regards

Freddy didn`t ask me for any help.
If he wants it i will give it.
Same with the website, i`d love to help but i don`t even own a computer so i wouldn`t be much use in that respect.
