if any facebook radbmx only users wish to have their vote count, they can join the main site and cast their vote
i voted to get rid but if the overall vote is to keep it then thats fine, fair votin :daumenhoch:

trouble is most of the "no" vote is coming from those that dont use it, yet you want to take it away from those of us that do >:(

the vote is the vote
the facebook page has had 90 replies of which 75 said they use both. if they cast a vote on here and the vote goes in favour to keep then it stays
is that not the fairest way? i use both but want to try and safeguard the future of this site and not a satellite group tbh and thats why I voted to get rid
no point in speculating the outcome of the vote until all votes are cast?

well i for one dont think getting rid of of the fb page is a way of safeguarding the site, more like a way of speeding up its demise :(

Thanks Joffy
I've made both of those sticky, if I get a minute I'll try and merge them or something
As for finding them on FB - I think I might just post the link on there and see if it attracts any attention :teef:

I've been a member for a about 5 years and have always had an SST because I sign up to be a member of an online community that has a shared interest in BMX similar to myself.
I reckon you should buy the SST because it's an online community you want to be part of and contribute to, facebook has it's place but a forum is a better platform for reference purposes, tech and restoration how to's, project threads that are updated as they progress etc etc.
Maybe the time has come to bite the bullet and have limited access to other parts of the site too, ie, you can look but not post or possibly no access at all to other sections for people who don't have the SST. I think using the For Sale section alone as a lever for people to have the SST is over given the multitude of other platforms that are available and used by nearly every member of this site, Facebook, Gumtree, Ebay to sell their stuff.

the big percentage of us started on :radbmxsmilie: long before facebook had "popular" bmx pages. this is were we met so to speek. as so many have said :radbmxsmilie: is a great place to find resto and references to builds / parts. its because of :radbmxsmilie: we all enjoy M.K. and we have all look in RADS museum for reference and drooled over the builds of RADSTERS. just ask your self the question ... how many mates have you made because of :radbmxsmilie: ? how many rides have you been on because of :radbmxsmilie:. ?
Dont get me wrong , facebook does have a place . It does "suit" a lot of peoples lifes simply because you may have many "interests" and on facebook you can access them all at the same time. BUT it does not offer as much as RADBMX does , and it should'nt be a replacement ...
ive no doubt this discussion will raise its head time after time. but if :radbmxsmilie: was no longer what then ? most of us at some point have a bit of a lull , and dont log in for a short period of time . BUT we all come back . WHY? coz its the best place to be :daumenhoch:
