It's a shame that the minority of idiots spread negativity like a disease. RAD is a top place, and long may it continue. Thanks again to all the mods/admin & members who make the site a great place to visit :)

I'm responsible for the equilibrium.
fischflo:
not the appointed voice, but Rad's full of constructive and tolerant people to me, just like the voices here. Strange how i never see this moaning, sniping and negativity. - But guess it's different when you're clipping the hedges. ... you still need some moaning though
"if you can afford to do that you guys are obviously making too much money" .... no beer for you, honey, come back 1 year. ;D

At MK this year I was speaking to somebody on the Saturday night when we opened the Dog and Duck, I said to this person to "go and get a beer they are free", he didn't believe me at first so I say "honest, the site has supplied the drink this year it is 100% free no strings".
Instead of saying thanks etc and getting a beer, he turned around to me and said "Well if you can afford to do that you guys are obviously making too much money from site subscriptions".

Interesting comment from such a "stand up guy" , perhaps he could write me a glowing reference if I had some For Sale deals go right ! ................ ;D ;D ;D :-X

I love my Rad and all you fellow Radster nutters, I get so much out of it for so little.
The site supporter tag issue is such a load of bollocks in my opinion especially when buying MX1000s for £85 each!
£10 . . . Come on! It's 3 pints, 1 1/2 gallons of petrol, popcorn and a fizzy drink at the cinema, Fish and Chips . . . In comparisons to an amazingly interesting forum to meet great people and enjoy a whole weekend of old school bmx every year all created by the wonderful generous people that work bloody hard for only the love of it!
You MODS (and Rad owners) are ace in my opinion. Thanks for all your effort and hard work.
Merry Christmas.

I do concur with Sean’s comments as I witnessed what was said at the time however brushed it off, however I will also say that the positive comments far outweighed that, though guess those negative ones stick in our mind.
I also admit I had my doubts on whether to continue, like a number of my admin & mod mates, following the bad press we seem to attract, when all we do is actually care, contribute and make Rad what it is, the best Old School BMX forum known to man. Yes we get things wrong, but we also get the majority of things right, and our passion is shared with you, the members.
Rad will continue forever, whether it has four thousand, four hundred or 4 members, makes no odds if we have 4 marquees or four gazebos at MK, it will be what it will be. You will all agree that any forum is only as good as the content and contribution made.
So, lets get the elephant out the room shall we……………..banned members and their continued fight to bring Rad down.
We the admin and mods have to make some difficult and sometimes unpopular decisions, some will agree, some wont, that’s just a fact of life.
Skywayman
I again agree with Sean, that I have no issue with what he is doing, i.e. setting up a facebook page for guys like you to sell & buy your items, why not, opens the doors for cherished parts eh. But what is wrong, despite requests, he continues to use the Radbmx name in the title, which has no affiliation to this site what so ever.
Yes, things have been said on Rad by members, mods admin against him, and likewise by him against us. I did mention in a thread some time ago, that I am prepared to move on, shake hands like we did with our fellow friends at Rewind.
Perhaps Steph, might consider this, by all means continue with your facebook page, continue with your website, but do we really need to continue the bad press? Perhaps you, and I mean Steph, who I’m sure will be reading this might consider the following.
Shake hands with the mods and admin and stop the bitterness and negative comments (that’s both sides), for the good of the community. Stop the negative comments on your Facebook page towards this site and change the name permanently without any association to Radbmx.co.uk. Then once it’s done and with the members blessing, I will donate some cash (£250) to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary Children’s Ward - Rad Toy Ride.
This site is NOT a private men's club, far from it, everyone is welcome and bulling is NOT tolerated.
Like you Steph, I have no issue with YOU, however all this hostility is no good to anyone or the scene.
I would like to think that the gentlemanly offer is accepted, and we draw a line under things.
There, it’s been said, and hope we can move on, it is Xmas.
