Facebook slowly strangling this site?
glenboy:
As above I think improving what we already have on rad to start off with and be a bit more welcoming to noobs even if they just join up to find the value etc , I find some a bit harsh to noobs even if they are just wanting values etc you never know we were all noobs once , I think a massive thing would be to get the parts date info of the site up properly it got started and a few have put some pics up but no real info in it , I do think there's a gap there as bmx museum reference info used to be quite good but that's not the same now and martins bike has gone now , the frameworks all there ready in the parts section on rad but it just has random photos in which aren't really any help to anyone but I believe we could make the reference section the best as combined on here the members have really all the parts and the combined knowledge on here it could be great , like ages of the parts how they changed how long in production etc

One things for sure though I'll be one of the last out the door when they turn the fookin lights out .

Agree with most of what you've said Joffy, all I'm saying is deleting the rad FB page won't do anything to suddenly make lazy or uncaring people suddenly start giving a fook or wanting to post pictures or start sales threads, if people want to offload their tat on FB there are dozens of places to do that - largely comprised of rad members :teef:
It would be nice if everything stayed within the rad community but times have changed, as for your last comment I'll be there with you mate, I love this place and don't intend on leaving any time soon

I don't think there's any question of removing the Face Book page, it is what it is. Think of the forum as the club and the FB page as the boys own-esq magazine. I personally don't think it's had as much impact as some of you seem to think, the site's just as busy as it was this time 3 years ago and we were complaining about how quite it was getting back then too.
The site and the FB page are but tools we use sitting in our arm chairs, where it's really at are the meetings, the ride outs, the parks, the tracks, the trails, grinding kerbs out on the street or maybe the chase for parts, bikes hanging from the rafters , starting that build or will I ever finish that build the way I wanted it in the first place without breaking the bank.
The Face book page is just another thing.

Loose it, shut it down. One site.

Ok, how about a compromise, NO sales on the FB page, ALL sales must be via the forum and MUST be completed by SST holders using the forum?
We could at least trial this.
