    Bimmerforums ".co.uk" vs ".com"

    With access to the WWW available both sides of the pond I don't understand why the ".com" site gets so much more traffic then the ".co.uk" site?

    I have posted on both sites now to see which one gets the mosts hits/responses

    Simply because the UK site is predominantly for UK owners - whereas the .com site is for the WHOLE WORLD!

    I tried using the UK site several times but the moderators are like traffic wardens . I gave up in the end . .com site is much more relaxed and friendly.

    Harsh, not had it myself, careful, you may know the moderators


    The main reason .UK gets less hits is that you need to login to read posts unlike .com where anyone can read them.
