...I forgot to mention something: I only owned a mobile phone for a couple of months around 15 years ago due to moving house and a hanging job application that badly conspired. I bought a pay as you go jobby, I think they are called 'burner' phones in films, that I sadly forgot to check and consequently missed out on what was a dream job at the time. Also I have not owned a TV for at least 10 years. I used to be a big time MMO gamer so PC is king, it provides me with all media. That is probably why I like forums, I do not know anything else. Just saying

I might have stepped down from Mod duties but still coming here just as much as before

This place gives a bit of welcome respite from all the shite on facebook

Facebook has been a great tool for me over the years in order to find parts quickly & to set up reference pages for the brands I've always liked & couldn't find information for on Rad as its so easy to do.

Although I'm not on that life page as its well known i have dislike for the guy that set it up as he's a cooooont.

I have however spent hours /days  /weeks / researching & setting up brand pages such for /Yes BMX /Fox Factor /  Marlboro / Rebel & and the Owners group for Rickman BMX as well as contributing to other band pages on there adding bits of info I've spotted along the way as i love trying to give something back to the hobby...

The Rickman group is basically just that (the owners group) & the rest are pretty much dormant reference pages with all of the adverts tests articles & information I've managed to find & get together over the years from around the web & from my old magazines ...

Definitely think Rad could do with an update & has always been missing a Brand section whereby vetted information could be uploaded & kept for users reference & i'd happily turn over all of the info on the pages I've set up (links listed below)  if somebody wanted to copy upload this to the forum .

Each Brand could have a page with sub sections for Magazine tests / adverts / Parts section  / Team rider interviews/ of  which Rad members could populate with images scans etc ...

Anyway if you're interested have a look at the below links & feel free to lift what you like as id actually like to close all pages apart from the Rickman group down... it is nice every now & then when someone stumbles across the page & thanks you for setting it up though & thats the whole reason for doing it ...

 :radbmxsmilie: will always be the place for me to meet the family. My job often times keeps me so busy that I don't find the inner calmness I need personaly to enjoy my time on here. I can't just stick my head in for a few minutes, it doesn't feel right to me. This forum is very dear to me and I appreciate the fact that it is not like this slot machine that facebook basically is.
I use FB too and chat with my RAD-friends on there but compared to how well organised this forum is, FB is just a mess. Yesterday I was trying to find an older post where some dude posted a picture of a particular part that a friend on here is looking for. Needless to say that I didnt succeed. FB is meant to be like that - a slot machine. Not taking it to seriously is a healthy way to deal with it, I think.
As torkerdude mentioned, it can't be due to any difficulties of navigating this forum. That is to me a very lame excuse. It is more the laziness of people to spend time on anything these days.

@Avro: If you are looking for any particular parts it might be a good idea to let those people know who use FB on a daily basis. As the feed on FB changes every 5 mintues it is more likely that one of us may see an add for a part you need. More eyes will see much more at different times during the day.  :daumenhoch:
I always have eye on the wanted adds on here, just in case I find (usually by luck) something that someone needs.
