What is in store for RadBMX?

(1/10) > >>

Avro:
Firstly I am not one of the old guard by any means; I have only been to the last two MK events and only got back into the scene around three to four years ago.

Given the possibility that there may not be a MK event this year, or if there is it may be down-sized, may I ask about the future of the forum?

Yes, this is a quiet forum but there is still content, plenty. From my point of view I have a heap of content on the way but it takes time to prepare, particularly given the difficulty in getting highly corrosive and hazardous chemicals these days, let's just say it is how I roll! :uglystupid2:

I have ventured onto Facebook but only to search for grail stuff and the odd bit here and there; with some success. In this regard I find it a difficult platform to use. I stumble upon stuff rather than find it. I really can not work out how to search for something, can not work out how to see current posts rather than necro stuff etc etc. I also can not see how the platform can support build threads, my main interest. It is probably that I am just a bit shite at Facebook but meh. The forum format does everything I want and then some. Perhaps I am just getting old and can not adapt to the new :-\

I have been meaning to raise this topic for a little while. This came about with the ugly demise of OZBMX, a forum site I looked at a lot as it's content was, in many ways, closer to my interests.

Are we nearing the OZBMX precipice, given without the ugliness that occurred there?

The  :radbmxsmilie: forum, and others like it have undoubtably suffered due to the emergence of smart phones, and the rise in facebook/instagram etc. I use both myself, both personally and for all things relating to RAD. The forum, although quieter in recent times will remain the go to place for information and research. I actually think that it’s traffic may well increase in the future, as people get a bit sick of the endless stream of facebook, and it’s limitations (no designated threads/sections). The hardcore enthusiasts will always have the forum to fall back on. We may well tweak it slightly in the future, but we intend to keep it alive and well for many years to come  :daumenhoch:

Keep it real. Keep it  :radbmxsmilie:

As far as I’m concerned. Although the forum is quieter due to Facefook and smart phones.

The cream of the crop will always use the forum .

Keep it  :radbmxsmilie: and keep Posting  fistblump

The forum will ALWAYS take priority over any social media, RAD related or not. This place is where it (re)started for me back in 2008 and it, it’s members and Admin Team have been very good to me and helped me through some shit times.

The funny thing is, a lot of the people that comment about the forum being quiet on FB were once big posters on here, they just like opening their FB app and seeing a little red box with a count of notifications in it.

The others that moan about the forum being difficult to navigate or can’t upload pics or couldn’t work out how to register or log in? Stick to your colouring books, but don’t eat the crayons.

dans later point re not been able to navigate or even get on the forum really does bewilder me tbh. even folk that have mentioned to me on the rides.... what...?! why....?! imo its the most easiest site to navigate... it aint hard. and yes, imsure some folk use it bit may not like to admit that...???
YES facebook is easier....??  but itsa way of life for most folk, thats why its easy,
 :radbmxsmilie: will always be here, ITS a way of life for the hard core BMX ers......
