Facebook slowly strangling this site?

Be a shame to lose what's been built up on Rad over the last 10 yrs for a solitary moment in time on facebook. :'(
Gish:
Why don't the Rad Facebook page be closed down then maybe sales on here may pick up.
Also it's a way of people not paying for a S/S tag to sell on here :-X
bigfatolly:
That's what I was thinking Gish.
If people are selling on FB for free,they may not renew their SS Tags and that will have a knock on effect for this site as regards the upkeep and MK etc.
I suppose though even if the Rad group on FB was shut down ,there are other groups on there where you can sell your parts.

Very very true. I will always be on here though :D
I posted this today on here at 1454hrs >> http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,177920.0.html
It has had 25 views and no replies. I posted it on the Museum FB page at 1934 and got my answer, with picture confirmation, within 10 minutes.
That's the sign of the times on here. Many people with the knowledge are just not around anymore. Take a build for instance. You spend months and plenty of time, preperation and money getting a build done and when you post on here, you may get 200 odd views but only 3 or 4 comments. People would rather hit the like button than take a few momnets to write a couple of words. Some say "so what, you built the bike for yourself, that's all that matters" etc...True but, it is nice for people to acknowledge the work that has gone into the build. After all, that's the spirit of BMX and a few warm comments go a long way to make someone feel they have done something worthwhile :daumenhoch:
