Thank you both for everything.

Thank you Lee and Keith for making Beoworld the invaluable resource that it is.

Thanks also to anyone else that made Beoworld such a special place. It may have been through supporting the site with sponsorship, by other financial means, or by providing useful content and camaraderie.

Beoworld certainly makes owning vintage B&O equipment much more enjoyable.

I wish you the best of luck in selling the website. It would be a shame for this treasure trove of information to be lost. If a new owner can't be found, is there a possibility of archiving the "entire" website somewhere? Something like the "Wayback Machine" (but without all of the broken links).

I am a new member, even though I have been following Beoworld for many years (since around 2015), the forum has made me love and understand the brand.
I thank you for everything you have done and I understand your reasons.
However, I hope that all this treasure is not lost, because I also think that the success of Vintage B&O is linked to the Beoworld Forum.
Thank you!

Dear Lee, dear Keith

I understand the reasons that drive your decision perfectly, nevertheless it makes me sad to see you leave a service that has rendered me support and advice for many years.

I share your impression that the B&O brand is aging with its users, and we will see where the changed consumer / buyer behaviour will lead the brand to.

To you both I wish the best for the years to come, remembering the good times you had with the BeoWorld community and not wasting a thought on the less favourable moments.

Best regards, Stefan

Sad to hear that it ha come to this point although I fully understand the reasoning behind it from your perspective Lee. Good luck on finding a buyer.

I just hope that the forums can continue to exist in some form in the future.

Regarding the Archived forums, the product pages, the FAQ's and the Beotech sections, and also the current forums those can actually be acessed through the Wayback machine on archive.org.

However none of the search, and/or filtering functions seems to work in these archived versions of the pages, so a very manual process to find information that way.
