will i still be able to access iorr with windows 95 like i can now?

Depends not so much on your OS but on the browser you use. Since you can read this, you managed to get your browser read https. So I would say you are fine. (Except Win95 opens your PC up to a ton of viruses since the OS hasnt been updated since 2001)

Thank you for all bv. After all those years finding some help is just logical right? I am sure you will find the right persons to run things.

Can't commit helping myself though as I have not the right competences. I hope there will be no hesitation asking for financial help. I bet the money needed will be no problem at all and if that would mean an independed, ad free board that would be awesome.

Reading this topic it falsely feels like a goodbye. Compared to corporate business this would mean a move from CEO to non executive chairman of the board, right?

Thank you very much bv
Long live the Rolling Stones and IORR
Best and all healthiness for you and your family

cheers bv.

I'm not a technologically minded soul, so I have no idea what it is that BV will need to do. However, BV knows what he's doing, and he will find likeminded Stones fans to help him create, maintain, and run, a modern, easy-to-use message board. I look forwarded to seeing the results and contributing there, just as I have been doing so here for nigh on some 20 years.

Thank you, Bjornulf, and good luck.

Thanks BV and BRAVO!

There has never been anything comparable to IORR for Stones fans and I can only hope and pray that the Next Generation IORR will continue in that vein.

Massive thanks to you, BV, for all your sterling work over so many years, which is so appreciated for so many reasons by all of us who visit this site. You more than deserve the break/rest that's coming to you. Enjoy!

Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for all of us!

Thanks BV
You are the man

Thanks for all of your hard work BV, I've been on here (I've had two user names) since 2004.

I met you briefly at the O2 in 2007, you were a gent.

Appreciate the 'labour of love' for keeping this site going for so long!

I add my thanks to you Bjornulf, for setting up and maintaining IORR over such a length of time. It is consistently informative, entertaining, enlightening and extremely user-friendly! Hope to see you again on tour this year.

Thanks for everything BV! Cheers

Cheers BV it was really interesting reading about your life. You should write a book!

Next Generation

Thanks for the good work you will still monitor, Bjornulf

Your life is a true example of hard work, commitment, and personal and professional success.

Bravo.

One of my favorite posts, thank you for sharing some details of your personal life.

The few times we’ve met (our longest chat was a hotel lobby restaurant in New Orleans for the “hurricane” show in 2019) I’ve had some difficulty reading you and conversations were slightly awkward, so figured we were such different people but with a shared interest in the Stones.. Your work on this site is ultimately what’s important but I still have an interest in all people, so am grateful you shared a bit more of who you are.

Between your family, your work, and this site it sounds like you have led a fulfilling life!

Incredible run! Thank you.

At this point, I suggest you sell this site to The Rolling Stones and you can cash out for retirement.
You, Bjornulf, deserve it. Send out a final, glorious IORR magazine as a parting gift to subscribers and ride off into the sunset.

See you on tour!

Thank you so much Bjornulf for everything! Your work has enabled so much fun and excitement all over the world, and IORR has always been a fixed star in the Stones universe. I do hope there will be a smooth transition for the forum as well as for you personally, and that there will be many more candles to burn...

the greatest rock and roll band in the world - definitely

i don't use win95 for everyday browsing (that would be a miserable experince) and i'm very aware of its security isssues

i was just making a joke out of the fact that this site can still be accessed by a computer running it

Thank you very much Bjornulf for all the years with the IORR forum.
Thank you for everything you have done for us!
Looking forward for next generation forum!

Thanks for work Bjornulf.

there will never be another bjornulf.
so i guess this will be the end of what has been my most visited site since 2004 or so.
i accept and understand things cant last forever but it is with great sadness that i read all this. wish i had the time to help, but i dont. its incredible you kept this going for so long bjornulf. thanks a million

BV

You indeed put up/tolerate a lot here. It's been fantastic, as a fan, to share and learn whatever about The Rolling Stones, with many cross references for learning particular facts as well as some entertaining things, like how Keith played the wrong intro for ABC on this and that tour...

The much needed human element of The Rolling Stones.

And, of course, the fans.

Thank you.

Thank you, Bjornulf.

I've been reading the online forum since the late 90's (reading about how "Blessed Poison" became 'Bridges to Babylon'!), finally establishing a username in 2012.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work over the years.
You've truly built an international family.

I'll play 'Sticky Fingers' in your honor tonight.

You've got the Sun, the Moon, the Rolling Stones and Bjornulf.

I am sure you will pass the torch to people who are both competent and reliable.

Thank you for the years of fun, good info about OUR band... as well as freezing our asses off in Bondy while grinning and listening to the band rehearsing.

Merci pour tout.

Thanks for all you have done!
Happy new year for you & family!

Thank you BV for everything you’ve done. You’ve made a lot of people very happy for a long time.
Gold rings on ya

Thanks for all the hard work on the best site on the net!

I would love to help, but my computer skills are circa 2006.....

Thank you for everything you do, BV! It is beyond appreciated, to have a space like this to talk Stones. You've created something special and I couldn't be more thankful.

Whatever form iorr takes, I wish you the best. You provided a valuable service to passionate Stones fans. So much great information was provided here. I am proud to have been a member of this exceptional site. BV, you rock!

Never thought I’d ever see this. Thank you BV.
