Facebook slowly strangling this site?
eddie kidd:
I'm not on Facebook, and have no intention of joining it either...
The short time i've been on here i've gained a lot of valuable information...
Spent a fortune mind you, but that's part and parcel of the love for BMX...
stevesredvxr:
Get rid of the Facebook site and get this forum back to how it was.....
A great set of guys, same hobby, same attitudes and same admiration of each other's builds.
Not to mention the SST contributions must be suffering too.
Kill it. :daumenhoch:
denzil:
I use Facebook a lot, but ther are that many other bmx site on there now it's just getting lost. So my vote is yes shut it down and get the real site sorted out .
griff:
For the record, I don't control it and neither does Ed, we just help with admins along with other mods
It was set up by Nick when the site went down before as a backup and has carried on from there as an extension of this place
While it will never replace Rad as a useful long term resource it does come in handy for short term things like organising events/sharing pics and it has brought a few decent new members to the forum (hands up if you found the FB group first before coming here...)
Not convinced by any arguments that simply deleting the group will suddenly give the forum a boost, it's just not as simple as that - there are dozens of other FB BMX groups that people could just as easily use as a substitute. Site tag sales are not exactly suffering either as true radsters know where the money goes regardless of whether they use the sales section here or not
Other older-tech forums have suffered badly because of social media but we continue to add new members all the time, inevitably some long standing members will move on but then you often see people return after a break.
If you want to give the forum a boost then start a thread, sell stuff here first exclusively or post links on the FB group to this place
In my humble opinion binning off the FB group is just like sticking your head in the sand and hoping the problem goes away by itself - it won't!
