Welcome to the IMZ-URAL Discussion Archive

The IUDA started in late 1998 when URAL America announced that older messages would be deleted from its WebBoard to make it easier for new users to read the messages. I didn't want to loose those messages and thus the IUDA was born.

The IUDA contains five volumes.

• Volume 1 - Contains messages from URAL America's WebBoard from March 30, 1998 to September 21, 2000. Volume 1 is no longer taking in new messages.
  
  
• Volume 2 - Contains messages from URAL America's WebBoard from September 16, 2000 to May 25, 2003. Volume 2 is no longer taking in new messages.
  
  
• Volume 3 - Contains messages from Irbit MotorWorks of America's WebBoard from Feburary 10, 2003 to December 31, 2004. Volume 3 is no longer taking in new messages.
  
  
• Volume 4 - Contains messages from Irbit MotorWorks of America's WebBoard from Janurary 1, 2005 to the Feburary 5, 2007. Volume 4 is no longer taking in new messages.
  
  
• Volume 5 - Contains messages from Irbit MotorWorks of America's WebBoard from Feburary 6, 2007 to the present. Volume 5 is taking in new messages.

Membership and Donations

The IUDA requires membership and a donation to access its discussion group messages. There is a 30 day free trial period.

Anyone can use the Search page at no cost to look for information in the IUDA. You will have to be an active member to see the full message in the IUDA discussion groups.

If you have posted a message to either Irbit MotorWorks of America or URAL America WebBoards, then a membership has been created for you using the email address with which you posted.

To login, use the Members Login link to the left of the webpage. Follow the directions on the login webpage to login or retrieve your password. If this is your first time to login, then you will need to follow the password retrieval instructions. You can change the password from the Preferences webpage after you have logged in.

If you have not posted to the above WebBoards and would like to become a member, use the Join Now link to the left of the webpage.

After you have logged in for the first time, you will have 30 days to see all the information the IUDA has to offer. If you want to continue to use the IUDA after the initial 30 day period, make a donation to the IUDA to activate your membership for 1 year. Use the MAKE DONATION link at the top of this webpage.

If you have recently donated to the IUDA then your membership will be active for one year from your last donation.

After you make a donation, it may take several days for your membership to be updated.

Non Functional Email Addresses

Lots of people are signing up with email addresses that don't work. People who attempt to access the IUDA with email addresses that don't work, will have their membership blocked.

I put a lot of effort into maintaining the IUDA and I don't need the extra hassle that non functional email addresses present. Please be curtious and use functional email addresses. You will receive virtually no email communications relating to the IUDA.

An email address is considered non functional if an email to you bounces, your mailbox is full, you ask me to jump through verification hoops to send you email.
