Facebook slowly strangling this site?

I've not posted my thoughts about the FB group before because I don't understand the hatred for it.
I joined RAD before FB group was started. I like the page because I'm a FB user, I can get a quick fix as and when, but if I want to buy I go on the forum, if I'm stuck with anything I go on the forum, if I want some banter I go on the forum, if I want ideas I go on the forum, I don't really sell (it upsets me after) if I have a question about something non bmx I go on the forum!
I use it a lot, I love it.
It upsets me when I read "RAD is just a pay to sell site" shut up! it's a wonderful forum (the best) with everything you need to know (and more) in one place!
FB is just a quick fix...!!!
I do not understand the argument in fact.... don't think there is one!

Since the poll was allegedly started 'for fun' and doesn't end until the 27th I think you're being a bit premature expecting any kind of result tbh
I would quite happily support a move to ban sales on the group page unless people have a link to the sale section here, it was like that before and would take no more effort than it does to constantly tell people to put prices up etc
I imagine that people currently selling on there will give out a bit of flak for that (as before) but to be fair to SST holders there is a logic to that. Don't expect that these sale posts will magically appear here though as a result.
I absolutely don't believe that shutting the group page down will somehow 'drive people back here'. It really isn't that simple and if you think that the 2,700-odd people that are in the group won't simply switch to the countless other FB BMX groups instead then you're kidding yourself. Times change and whether FB goes the way of Myspace and is replaced by Ello or something people will use whatever suits them. FB is very handy for organising events - it helped us get a load of people out in London at short notice and gained us a few new members & already has helped get the Summer ride organised with people potentially coming from other countries.
What keeps this place going is the brilliant community of people, if you want it to be more lively then contribute something instead of moaning, maybe go and welcome a new member - if you use the FB group then point people here but simply deleting a group isn't going to solve anything. The amount of energy expended on this thread alone shows that there are plenty of people in here with something to say (unlike many other traditional forums that have sadly turned to dust). I'm still seeing lots of new people join and as far as I'm aware there's no immediate danger of the Rad pot being decimated and putting MK in jeopardy.
I'm off to bed now - night night all :)

......um, I didn't set it up
Thanks

It is was it is............leave it be
It's great for people who want to sell their shyte without the need to pay £10 for the privilege (that's probably how they see it) it also hits a huge amount of people right away so sell stuff quicker (unless you've added too many 00 on the end) ;D or for banging up a POS for raffle so you can get twice what anyone would pay for it :daumenhoch:
From what i remember Stodgy saying last year, i don't think you can actually delete a group once there's a certain amount of members?? ???
