Facebook slowly strangling this site?
dp and chopper dude:
What about using the facebook page to advertise sneak previews of things on here like BOTM and the sale page but direct them back here to get all the juicy bits that we all enjoy. Obviously letting people vote on BOTM on facebook would be daft but putting one picture of each entry might get people to come on to see the rest of the pictures to have a vote and a nosy round while they're here.

No we're talking links from here on there would definitely be a plus fore the forum, great shout lets encourage them onto here rather that try and get rid of the competition

That does go on with links to BOTM, also some people post pics of stuff for sale and include a link back to the forum. Anything that drives traffic back here can only be a good thing

The vast majority of people that have voted say they use both
Out of the few people that say they only use FB, one of them was a major sponsor of MK (mr Porkchop) and another has pledged to give the forum another go
Jono made a point about how he wouldn't have found the forum without FB (well maybe he would, but probably not as fast)
I stand by what I've said, the best thing people on here can do to make the forum better is to simply spend more time reading & posting, you're not going to make the place more attractive or welcoming by deleting a Facebook group. Nothing will stop me from coming on here but as long as the FB group continues to run I'll do what I can to let people know there's a proper forum here full of useful info and top blokes

That's all well and good Griff ......... us loyal RAD forum users will continue to keep the original site ticking over while all the Rad facebook users continue to benefit from sales we never see , ride out pictures we never see and general Rad banter we never see ::) !! All that should be on here not FB .
That is by no means a dig at you personally mate , far from it as you are a regular on here but there's far too many old forum members who contribute to the FB pages and to be brutally honest couldn't give a flying fook what is happening on here . They are also the one's who are first to moan ' oh the Rad site is quiet ' or will be the first one's complaining when they need to do a bit of research for a build and they can't find it because RAD is no more . There's no history on Facebook !! I said 18 months ago FB will be the death of this place and upto now i ain't seen anything to make me change my mind . One things for sure though I'll be one of the last out the door when they turn the fookin lights out . Oh and i won't be joining no social media shite instead ...... i'd rather have a season ticket for the rats than go down that route :D
Im off to bed now .......... after i have checked what everyone has had for supper on my FB page :whistle:
