Facebook slowly strangling this site?
BADDH:
I think Radbmx is a strong Forum, the questions I am asking myself are:-
1. Does it need FB ... No
2. Would it suffer without FB... No
3. Does it compete with FB for members... No
4. Do I feel my SST is worth it .... Absolutely Yes
5. If FB shut down would it bother me... No..
Do I feel enough emphasis is directed at the right kind of posts on here... No I don't but that's my thoughts.

"cutting your nose off to spite your face" comes to mind ::)
As said already, if you shut it down people will trade on other groups and still not come on here. New Rad FB members need to be directed to the main site.
I like the idea of limited access to the forum for non-SST's. But by that i mean.... they should be able to view everything (so they can see what they're missing) but not be able to comment/reply on anything or most importantly they can't PM members (so they can't buy direct or get mates to do it for them). I also think SST's should be reduced for international members as they are not likely to benefit as much as the natives (i.e. Not likely to attend MK, may not buy as much due to shipping costs). This may also help the number of 'over night' guests to become members as i'm guessing 95% of these people are overseas viewers, hence the time :-\
I very much agree with the importance of the 'time line / reference' enteries being made more informative. And with the rise and rise of the snide/repop shite, there needs to be a 'spot the difference' on that to safe guard everyone (myself included)
I've been a member on here for several years as most will know and this place will always be my home. But for me Faceache has opened my little niche to a new level which Rad couldn't do. I did try and start a VDC register on here and had to beg people to add pic's of their rides "nono"
When i've gathered enough info, i'll reboot the thread and hopefully bring all my FB group members with me :daumenhoch:
I think Rad is entering a new stage, a lot of knowledge of the past 'Masters of Rad' has slipped for whatever reason so info is easier/quicker found on FB for now until people find their feet.
Put RetroDan back in charge on the "babe of the day" thead and stop him starting stupid question threads in the lounge :knuppel2:
Keep it :radbmxsmilie:

I think most forums are suffering because of face book. A car site I use where you pay to sell like on here is dead now since they started a fb group where you can do it all for free.
Not been on here for a little while as wasn't doing any builds but it does seems a bit quieter than it was. Was a member before the crash and lost my account so had to sign up again last year.
But hey paid up again and hopefully will find the parts I need to finish the build. :radbmxsmilie:

It's easy to be a critic Steve, but the 'stupid question threads' as you call them are my way of trying to add a bit of flavour to the forum, and keep momentum and activity going, and I was doing this way before being a Mod.
Sadly, whether it due to whatever reason, builds and resto threads aren't getting posted up 365 days of the year, so I feel it's important to have daft/normal/real/non BMX stuff to bind all the BMX stuff when it does appear.
But, by all means, you can add to your 39 other threads you've started off you like? :daumenhoch:

You a bit touchy this morning Dan :LolLolLolLol:
You might get a good nights sleep in a years time (congratulations by the way 👍)
It was just a light hearted note to end on, not a criticism.
That's an interesting number of thread starters from myself, is that on this version of Rad or in the 7 years I've been a member ?
