griff:

WINI:
Keep it OG!
Or sell it to me :D

Think if i had posted the book idea 3-4 years ago i would have been inundated with people wanting to be part of it. As it is i have had 2 people submit something which speaks volumes about the scene at the mo, irrespective of faceache.
Hopefully a bit of summer sun may revitalise things as it usually does. :daumenhoch:
Oh and you REALLY do need to keep that Haro OG. Plenty of bastardised ones out there if you want a shiney one ;)

People have moved on and in Rads case there are a few reasons you can't just blame Facebook.
Most forums are dead these days the platform is old, simple as that, you need to have a platform that can be accessed from a smartphone most people very few people use pc's anymore, tapatalk is only a half baked solution in my opinion and it hasn't worked for RAD, nor has the RAD FB page, it was too late to the game and there was too much opposition from within.
After Stiddgate there was a queue of people who were going to be using the forum more often and doing this, that and the other to improve the forum, most of them lasted a couple of weeks before they fooked off, but anyway things got worse instead of better, it's only lately uploading pics has been sorted.
There are now more moderators than active members, every year at MK there are another few ordained to the upper echelons, why does a forum that's so quiet need so many moderators? Some of them don't even appear to contribute to the forum anymore? :-\
There are still loads of bikes being built but very few are shown on here, the scene has slowed a bit but it's not dead.
There are a lot of knobs on Facebook but then there used to be a lot in here too, some of us are still here :LolLolLolLol:

slight exaggeration there Paul, but feel free to advise on how many there should be/who should go ::)
don't forget the expression 'many hands make light work' and that everyone that does help out gives their time freely to do so. It's not a job after all, we're not using the rad pot to pay for trips to Thailand and most of us have pretty busy lives/jobs etc
most forums might be dead, but this isn't most forums and without tapatalk you can still get on here (well I manage it on my trusty old iphone or the ipad without any bother). Just in the last few weeks we've got video embedding, better photo uploading capability and a better deal with the hosts to allow more photos, avoiding having to use tapatalk
one things for sure, regardless of the improvements we make here there will always be someone that finds something to complain about.
