Put RetroDan back in charge on the "babe of the day" thead and stop him starting stupid question threads in the lounge
Quote from: steve69 on October 21, 2014, 11:40 PMPut RetroDan back in charge on the "babe of the day" thead and stop him starting stupid question threads in the lounge It's easy to be a critic Steve, but the 'stupid question threads' as you call them are my way of trying to add a bit of flavour to the forum, and keep momentum and activity going, and I was doing this way before being a Mod. Sadly, whether it due to whatever reason, builds and resto threads aren't getting posted up 365 days of the year, so I feel it's important to have daft/normal/real/non BMX stuff to bind all the BMX stuff when it does appear.But, by all means, you can add to your 39 other threads you've started off you like?

This all reminds me of that King Canute fella ... he had about as much luck.I don't see any problem at all with the forum 'being quiet' ... I don't think it is even ... but it is what it is! ... I certainly would not want to encourage some of the twats I see on facebook over here.We just need to keep on doing what we are already doing and linking things in to RAD and let things happen if they want to. Stopping sales on the RAD facebook page just gives SkywaySteff more ammo to have a pop with ... personally I'm about on both sites and don't really see that there's any problem. Old Steff said he was gonna blow us out the water with his forum which went down in flames before it even started ... we are still here doing what we do ... nothing is going to stop that Let just let it all be what it wants to be ... everything irie.

Noticed recently that non SST members can post in the wanted section. If they can't buy in the for sale section how come they can post in the wanted section. A lot of folk here have built up an extensive catalogue of technical and reference information over the years so perhaps limiting access is the way forward. Its like giving the company secrets away... we may be setting ourselves up for an hostile takeover by the radburnerbmxsaleschatmuseumsocietythistimenextyeari'llbeamillionaire facebook group.
So guys, 5 pages in now, lots of valid points raised, the pole looks pretty comprehensiveConclusion time.... what you doing, it's now or never in my book lads.
