Just been reading a few threads on the museum, one of which was asking for donations to help keep the site looking its best. In another a member quoted $58,000 as site income ( i think from pro memberships alone )
When you think of the money and human resources available to the museum it makes you realise what a tightly run ship we have on here with the limited resources available.
May be totally wrong and talking bollocks but in this season of good will i would like to buy all the staff an internet pint (http://www.pistonheads.com/inc/images/beer.gif)
Cheers guys :4_17_5:
-
my word, that's a lot of cash
do they have a US version of MK?

No and they don't have a Bike of the Month either.
-
Not that i know of, i think its more regional meets. Dunno if any are sponsored by the museum itself :-\
-
I don't think (in fact I know) that most people don't realise how much of the Mods time is taken up on here so a big gay man hug from me :4_17_5:
Except Pickle bloomin twunt is never here always swanning off to New York and eating >:D
I still blame him for crashing the old site :-*
-
MK was the cherry on the cake for me.. The amount of work for that great weekend!! Take my hat off to them!
That little ginger one wasn't MOD at that point, but he's alright. ;)
-
They give you a sticker with your pro membership :LolLolLolLol:
-
apparently all the mods sit in one big room everynight, laughing and pointing at threads on here on a large screen in the middle of the room, whilst drinking beer bought from site tags.... :coolsmiley: :coolsmiley:
:LolLolLolLol:
-
I thought we spent the funds on stock out of Shiners, bought M3's and with the change a transporter for Bill.......then had the beers :LolLolLolLol:
We do run a tight ship, income from tags is about £2.5k per year, slightly more, depending on who pays what.......MK tents alone are £1.5k, toilets £400, skip £250, St Johns a couple of hundred.........
A couple of years ago we had no funds in the pot, however I now have enough dosh to put on another MK even if we don't have any site contributions this year
:daumenhoch:
-
:daumenhoch: Thanks Nick and the team.
-
top work by all involved :4_17_5: :bow:
-
All going off on the museum as a few are not happy being asked for donations when the site owner is taking a cut of the income :-X
Long live rad eh :daumenhoch:

Blimey
They are having a go, but I can just imagine what it would be like in here if Rad was run as a business for profit instead :D
Made me appreciate what we have here a little bit more :surprise:
-
Do you know what I look at that site and see the profit they are turning each year and I absolutely cringe at some of the members on THIS site that have a go at the admin and mods over site subscription fees etc etc.
Nobody and I repeat nobody has ever had a payout from radbmx, mods and admin work our fooking asses off for no reward and barely any thanks. We put on a massive free show every year and even supplied free drink to everybody this year and still we had people moaning about where the money from site subscription goes each year.
-
Makes for interesting reading thats for sure. The thread title was deffo changed when it all started going south. Someone actually states that the museum dont even have an annual show which moneys could be spent on like our beloved MK, wonder if they had read this thread :chin:

Do you guys want to know one of the biggest things to have pissed me off this year and it has made me question whether I want to carry on as admin.
At MK this year I was speaking to somebody on the Saturday night when we opened the Dog and Duck, I said to this person to "go and get a beer they are free", he didn't believe me at first so I say "honest, the site has supplied the drink this year it is 100% free no strings".
Instead of saying thanks etc and getting a beer, he turned around to me and said "Well if you can afford to do that you guys are obviously making too much money from site subscriptions".
Since that time I have been on a real downer with all things BMX and all I see are people sniping at either the site or the guys that put a shit load of time into running it.
-
It only takes one banger up on bricks to spoil the most picturesque of streets Sean. Its a sad truth of humanity that negativity carries more weight than positivity. :(

Think the threads been taken down now but the RAD mods were taking a right bashing on the Sales & Chat splitters site over the last few days (of which I'm blocked) .
There's some USA guys on there now which is most likely where the virus & backlash is spreading towards paying site supporter tags on the Museum after they have read & bought in to Stephane's Rhetoric & playing the hard done to martyr .
He reckons he plotting to take rad down have a Facebook interactive site with ebay style bidding & the like for bmx parts, Sure you already saw it & I'm also sure this post will be reported to him by his minions (alright ladies :daumenhoch:) but i'd hate to see Rad fall behind to someone who's only interested in lining his own pockets under the guise of (doing it for the sake of bmx) blah blah blah...
Met some great guys on here who i will stay in touch with with but theres Just too many childish jealous low end ballers in this hobby for me, guys who mentally never left the playground (keyboard warriors) & others who are just trying to make friends & influence people by buying expensive bikes that in some cases that a week before they had never even heard of ((((I mean really )))) ???? 'I've had a great year re kindling my childhood passion but I'm out after I've completed my current builds & anything i sell off will be on here or the bay .
Long Live Rad & well done boys !

Come on Sean get some perspective that's just one person... This site has, obviously, a cross section of society & therefore houses a myriad of personalities some of which are bound to be disagreeable to your good self (perhaps I'm one of them! ).
From what I can ascertain there are plenty of great guys on here & this site is very tolerant!
I've never been to MK but am still happy to contribute...& I've been banned a couple of times!
So while we're at it (& if it's worth anything coming from me) thank you.

No Rich, it is just one more moaning whinging twat unfortunately.
I see so many posts where people moan, for no other reason than to be seen/heard or to cause trouble on site. It happens all the time and those people to be honest I ignore completely and will not even acknowledge them on site any longer.
As for Stephane and his facebook page, do you know I and the other admin have no problem with what he is doing. What we do take offence at is that he is using the radbmx name when he has no link or even account on this site.
Fortunately I don't go near his page and have blocked him from me on FB, but his 'supporters' that flit from here to there to cause shit should hang their heads in shame and take a permanent vacation from radbmx.
Fortunately the majority of radbmx members are ace and are like an extended family to me, I do love this site even though it tires me out a lot these days.
Sorry for being such a moaning twonk guys.

And the members on here that actively sell on that page too :daumenhoch:

The vast majority of people on here are top lads/ladies. It's a shame that the minority of idiots spread negativity like a disease. RAD is a top place, and long may it continue. Thanks again to all the mods/admin & members who make the site a great place to visit :)

I think you became grumpy since shaving off your beard!!

I'm responsible for the equilibrium.

not the appointed voice, but Rad's full of constructive and tolerant people to me, just like the voices here. Strange how i never see this moaning, sniping and negativity. - But guess it's different when you're clipping the hedges. ... you still need some moaning though
"if you can afford to do that you guys are obviously making too much money" .... no beer for you, honey, come back 1 year. ;D

Interesting comment from such a "stand up guy" , perhaps he could write me a glowing reference if I had some For Sale deals go right ! ................ ;D ;D ;D :-X

I love my Rad and all you fellow Radster nutters, I get so much out of it for so little.
The site supporter tag issue is such a load of bollocks in my opinion especially when buying MX1000s for £85 each!
£10 . . . Come on! It's 3 pints, 1 1/2 gallons of petrol, popcorn and a fizzy drink at the cinema, Fish and Chips . . . In comparisons to an amazingly interesting forum to meet great people and enjoy a whole weekend of old school bmx every year all created by the wonderful generous people that work bloody hard for only the love of it!
You MODS (and Rad owners) are ace in my opinion. Thanks for all your effort and hard work.
Merry Christmas.

I do concur with Sean’s comments as I witnessed what was said at the time however brushed it off, however I will also say that the positive comments far outweighed that, though guess those negative ones stick in our mind.
I also admit I had my doubts on whether to continue, like a number of my admin & mod mates, following the bad press we seem to attract, when all we do is actually care, contribute and make Rad what it is, the best Old School BMX forum known to man. Yes we get things wrong, but we also get the majority of things right, and our passion is shared with you, the members.
Rad will continue forever, whether it has four thousand, four hundred or 4 members, makes no odds if we have 4 marquees or four gazebos at MK, it will be what it will be. You will all agree that any forum is only as good as the content and contribution made.
So, lets get the elephant out the room shall we……………..banned members and their continued fight to bring Rad down.
We the admin and mods have to make some difficult and sometimes unpopular decisions, some will agree, some wont, that’s just a fact of life.
Skywayman
I again agree with Sean, that I have no issue with what he is doing, i.e. setting up a facebook page for guys like you to sell & buy your items, why not, opens the doors for cherished parts eh. But what is wrong, despite requests, he continues to use the Radbmx name in the title, which has no affiliation to this site what so ever.
Yes, things have been said on Rad by members, mods admin against him, and likewise by him against us. I did mention in a thread some time ago, that I am prepared to move on, shake hands like we did with our fellow friends at Rewind.
Perhaps Steph, might consider this, by all means continue with your facebook page, continue with your website, but do we really need to continue the bad press? Perhaps you, and I mean Steph, who I’m sure will be reading this might consider the following.
Shake hands with the mods and admin and stop the bitterness and negative comments (that’s both sides), for the good of the community. Stop the negative comments on your Facebook page towards this site and change the name permanently without any association to Radbmx.co.uk. Then once it’s done and with the members blessing, I will donate some cash (£250) to the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary Children’s Ward - Rad Toy Ride.
This site is NOT a private men's club, far from it, everyone is welcome and bulling is NOT tolerated.
Like you Steph, I have no issue with YOU, however all this hostility is no good to anyone or the scene.
I would like to think that the gentlemanly offer is accepted, and we draw a line under things.
There, it’s been said, and hope we can move on, it is Xmas.
-
I'd support this Nick, would be a nice gesture and hopefully a good way to salvage something positive out of what's gone on to date :daumenhoch:
-
Steph, please do the name change. You know it's right, you might still hold a grudge at some here, but you're hurting Rad as a whole, and i'm sure that's not what you intend. - It'll be nothing but an old story we'll all chuckle about in the future. please, its easy to do now, as you're site's still young -
...how bout phazebmx ..... :slayer: ...or hava vote-off ;) ...everyone'll understand appreciate the gesture and contribute, you bet

You're a gentleman, sir. I hope the facebook/name issue is resolved - And what better reason to do it, than to make a child's stay in hospital that little bit better. Thank you. :4_17_5:

Looks like the ball is well and truly in your court Steph !
Do the decent thing , change the name of the page , put an end to all the negativity and more importantly put a smile on a few poorly kids faces this Xmas ;)
That's one hell of a kind gesture Nick :4_17_5: ......... but after what you did the night of Carl's get together after his mum had sadly passed away it doesn't surprise me .

When we did exhibitions at work back in the early 90's I would budget around 25k for the two days,
What you guys do for free and for the love if the community is beyond me :4_17_5:
Yes there are a few moaning sods that will, like the others drop by the wayside so fcuk em :daumenhoch:
I come on here for the people and to chat about BMX and take the piss and escape the work stress
I for one am amazed what you lot do for free :4_17_5:
Excluding pickle of course :crazy2: but then there's always one wonky wheel on the cart :daumenhoch:

And that Bru is a shady bugger as well :-X

Looks like every sensible thing to be said has been said.
Personally, I love this place and have a lot of very good personal friendships come out of it. Its always the first place I come when I switch the laptop or phone on. The Mods do an amazing job and I can only add to the show of gratitude for what you all do.
And as uncle Peter said as far as the moaners and muppets go, fcuk 'em

Rather than assume he'll see this thread, is there anyone in contact with Steph that can make sure he sees Nick's proposal above?
Would be nice to get his response before the Toy Ride if possible

To be fair reading what he put on the site that I'm banned from over personal differences it looks (unless he's bullshitting ) that he 's a long way down the line of having platform built that interacts with Facebook etc. He's seems happy as he's devised a forum in Facebook for flippers & bulk sellers to sell their wares (in bulk or large lots at a time) which has never gone down well on here from what i can see & have read.
As long as he & the others (Lee for example) are doing this they seem very happy as they can make more money than they ever could on rad & only have the tax man to answer to as it's all very blatant.
(Would like to say i have nothing against Lee at all he's always been decent & even sent me free stuff once to help me out) but it's clear that it's more about money to some of these guys than the rest of us.
End of the day theres a lot of people out there me included who most likely wouldn't want to see Stephane back as there's been personal spats they won't ever heal . Childish accusations name calling & threats of physical violence that would be termed bullying (if we were 12).
There's others on here guilty of this as well & they know who they are but I'l go with the flow & the gesture offered is a fair one (BUT) Only if Steph Matches the Financial donation given to the Charity & prove it's not about the money
Why should rad make all the major concessions & he gets to trade on every forum going & gets the best of both worlds? but in return maybe Rad could have a flippers lounge ???? Just a thought.

I don't want to step out of line here as I'm still really new to the site, but... I spend hours reading as many threads as possible because I want to get to understand what goes on, who's who and what bikes they have, why people do it, what bikes are still around ect, ect, I am on here because I love OS BMX, I went to MK13 with a mate of 30years, we kind of lost touch over the years but OS BMX has brought us back together (sounding a bit gay here I know but...) and I am really thankful for that, MK was an absolute blast, one of the best weekends I've ever had the pleasure of attending. I blasted my Burner round the track, went on the Lake ride, got very drunk, sat round the fire singing at the D&D... the weekend was awesome from Friday morning when we loaded the van through to Sunday night.
What I struggle to get my head around is..... £10 let me say it again..... £10...
WTF!! Everything is given back to US... its £10 for the weekend of the year!!!!
I love this site and I love YOU guys for making me feel very welcome.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let the minority put you on a downer... what you guys do is fooking unbelievable and I for one want to say THANK YOU for everything. :bow:

Disputes with people outside of RADBMX should be left outside of RADBMX, this whole mess was a result of people carrying feuds onto this site in the first place.
Way I see it is if you don't like someone, ignore them, simple as that.

I enjoy this site, I spend too much of my time on it when I should be working.
If I attempted to express what I get for my £10 it would be something like this (forgive the obvious).
1 year = 365 days
365 x 60 minutes (average time i spend on here per day) = 21900 minutes
£10 / 21900 = 0.046p per minute of enjoyment (for the most part)
To try to give that some sort of context, i'll use something else I enjoy - the cinema...
If I went to the cinema would it cost 4.37p? (95 minute movie)
I can't think of anything else that represents such good value and I don't even attend any events - i'm too handsome for that...
...But most importantly, I can't think of anything else i'd want to spend that amount of time on... So thank you mods, perhaps unwittingly, you have a fantastically positive impact on my life. :4_17_5:
Chris :-*
PS. It must be Christmas - I haven't been this nice in a long time, i'm off to push someone over...

you should come along Chris, we'll try not to be too put off by your incredible good looks and manly powers :teef:

Mate that's easy to say when you've not been the recipient & were being bad mouthed in public ON the official RAD FB page & threatened by this guy and another current rad member who was the main instigator & plays a good balancing act between both rad & sales & chat. Just saying.....But where were the Mods then ???
The Mods can't be everywhere especially on there (stands to reason) but there should have been warnings sent to those involved especially after threats of violence were made as we all are or (were) rad members at the time. Isn't that what mods do ???
I don't feel threatened or victimised in any way in fact i find it hilarious that grown men feel the need to act in this way, but some people might do & to re include people that act like this & who's only objective is to make money from rad is wrong in my eyes .
Gashead has been generous in his offer & it's for the likes of him & the mods to decide what they want to do but like i said, i think it would be fair to ask Steph to match this offer financially shake hands & give him a site supporters tag for his efforts. ;)
All of course if he wants back in... (rant over).... Back to work.
LONG LIVE RAD :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:

Rather than assume he'll see this thread, is there anyone in contact with Steph that can make sure he sees Nick's proposal above?
Would be nice to get his response before the Toy Ride if possible
To be fair reading what he put on the site that I'm banned from over personal differences it looks (unless he's bullshitting ) that he 's a long way down the line of having platform built that interacts with Facebook etc. He's seems happy as he's devised a forum in Facebook for flippers & bulk sellers to sell their wares (in bulk or large lots at a time) which has never gone down well on here from what i can see & have read.
As long as he & the others (Lee for example) are doing this they seem very happy as they can make more money than they ever could on rad & only have the tax man to answer to as it's all very blatant.
(Would like to say i have nothing against Lee at all he's always been decent & even sent me free stuff once to help me out) but it's clear that it's more about money to some of these guys than the rest of us.
End of the day theres a lot of people out there me included who most likely wouldn't want to see Stephane back as there's been personal spats they won't ever heal . Childish accusations name calling & threats of physical violence that would be termed bullying (if we were 12).
There's others on here guilty of this as well & they know who they are but I'l go with the flow & the gesture offered is a fair one (BUT) Only if Steph Matches the Financial donation given to the Charity & prove it's not about the money
Why should rad make all the major concessions & he gets to trade on every forum going & gets the best of both worlds? but in return maybe Rad could have a flippers lounge ???? Just a thought.
Disputes with people outside of RADBMX should be left outside of RADBMX, this whole mess was a result of people carrying feuds onto this site in the first place.
Way I see it is if you don't like someone, ignore them, simple as that.
Mate that's easy to say when you've not been the recipient & were being bad mouthed in public ON the official RAD FB page & threatened by this guy and another current rad member who was the main instigator & plays a good balancing act between both rad & sales & chat. Just saying.....But where were the Mods then ???
The Mods can't be everywhere especially on there (stands to reason) but there should have been warnings sent to those involved especially after threats of violence were made as we all are or (were) rad members at the time. Isn't that what mods do ???
I don't feel threatened or victimised in any way in fact i find it hilarious that grown men feel the need to act in this way, but some people might do & to re include people that act like this & who's only objective is to make money from rad is wrong in my eyes .

You are right to say and I see where you are coming from, if it was done on the official RADBMX page you'd have to assume that the RADBMX's anti-bullying policy would apply and would be enforced with the current member warned or sanctioned.

Double bluff Chris...you arrogant cock.

Cosy.
I'll see how it develops when I 'pop em'...

Sadly, I understand through a member on here, that the gentlemanly request was ignored, however I have still donated the money to the cause.
My offer to draw a line under things still stand, however it's very disappointing that Steph would not do the gentlemanly act.
Perhaps this demonstrates further why Radbmx is so Rad!

Top gesture nick and a real shame the request was ignored :(
Still, as you say......this place rocks and at least the kiddies got some more great toys over Christmas :4_17_5:

Nice one Nick :coolsmiley:
I don't really use the for sale section that much anymore and I haven't made MK yet and availed of the facilities :'(
That said I don't mind paying the site supporters fee for access to one of the best OS communites and resources on the interweb. :daumenhoch:
Thought I had said that earlier but must have pressed the back button :-[

That's very kind of you Nick, a highly commendable gesture.

Fantastic gesture Nick.
One request to all, can we not mention that name again on here? Pretty sure he gets off on the fact that people are talking about him. Who gives a fook what he's doing? Some people are born bitter.

in this season of good will i would like to buy all the staff an internet pint (http://www.pistonheads.com/inc/images/beer.gif)
Cheers guys :4_17_5:
Just read all this thread from the start. Mk has above all events, rides and get together's been the one i have definitely made sure i don't miss.
My enjoyment has increased every year.
The dog & duck really dragged the community together and made it one of the best bmx gatherings i have been on.
Im so looking forward to Mk14 as much now for the d & d as i have for soaking up the bikes and enjoying the lake ride previously.
Thanks to the Rad Team (http://www.pistonheads.com/inc/images/beer.gif) :4_17_5: Cheers
The positives were off the scale that night. Sad to hear a negative ground it's self in with you Sean.

MK is simply one of THE best weekends of the year! just love seeing old friends and making new ones, love seeing peoples bikes in the flesh.......you guys simply build the best bikes ever!
i know it sounds a little 'w@nky' but i just love all the buzz and seeing everyone having a great weekend, for me that's what makes it all worth while.
the D&D was a superb idea which believe it or not was a spur of the moment decision made on Friday evening i think? could've been Sat morning? and hats off to those that came up with it. i've been asked if we will do the same next year? do you think we would get away with it if we didn't? ;D i'm sure we will get a few more donations for the bar next year :daumenhoch:

It's my favourite weekend of the year too
In light of recent attempts to attack this site and try encourage people not to pay for a site tag, it's always worth reminding people that MK is a free event (and that's just one thing the tag money is used for).
FREE to enter, FREE to camp and in the Dog & Duck last year it was even FREE to drink!
There have been a few comments from people suggesting 'why not allow free access to the sales section and just charge for MK instead?'
Aside from the logistics of trying to sort this, I don't think it's possible to charge entry to MK even if we wanted to.
If there are any people on here wondering if it's worth buying a tag, then all they need to do to see if it's worth a tenner is to come along and see for themselves where (some of) the tag money goes, you might have a different view once you've been...
Think of it like a house party - there will always be some people who turn up empty handed, but it's more fun if you contribute

This is just my take on paying £10 to Rad to be able to sell, If grown men need to argue the fact about £10 then that's sad, If they feel the need to harp about a free Face book than that's sad, it's beyond my thinking that any grown family man who collects, buys on Ebay and Rad and Face book can still complain about a £10 yearly fee your sad, surely if you dont want it than you pass it by but to argue and try to justify your point than once again your sad lol, infact I will lend anyone who spends hundreds of pounds collecting parts
but cant or won't pay £10 towards the amazing things Rad does with MK etc at no charge
£10 to cover your fee and if you message me taking me up on the offer than you are really sad, just my worth :daumenhoch:

Lend us a tenner, Dan
