Good idea. Close the Rad facebook page. I REALLY look forward to the new Rad BMX group thats actually nothing to do with Rad BMX, much like the Museum page. Frame pad friday anyone?  :daumenhoch:

Second that!
I'm on iPhone all day and tapatalks ok for navigation but tetchy and crashes frequently.
I'm fighting urge to FB due to lack of time to even bother.
I think cut the sales on FB and limit to the Rad site only. Pics n chat on both with status updates on favourites or buddy's fed from FB a lot like Twitter?

Where's this RADBmx Twitter feed again? I got the shop one.

I'm on using iPhone without tappytalk right now while having my morning dump & it's working fine
Tried it very briefly but found it annoying & I couldn't access smilies

I made up the thing about Twitter btw

I think it can be dangerous to limit too much from the public ....( you've got to get bums on seats?) Other sites do/did this and put me of pursuing to find out what there were about or joining them.

It's a fine line I guess?

Tapatalks best feature is you can organise your favourite threads in a lovely list.

I agree... great for an instant pic but no good for navigating the site.

undecided on the fb thing - tend to think about it like Bob 'tis just a thingy', and like Dan about the 'keep selling on Rad' --but wouldn't know how to enforce such a rule effectively.

One thing i'm sure about though is that it is NOT good to limit access to Tech/resto, and the bikes sections only to members who even need to be logged in.      I know there might be Guests > Members problem, but we have to think about attracting potential new members, too. Those who register because they like what they've seen. ;)

I would'nt even know how to facebook :-[

edit: ....maybe limit Chat & Tech Resto Stickies to registered (,,,/SST's?).   -- and let the non registered see that there are some sections they can't access --- like have those sections appear shaded in the Index

Wow when I started the thread I didn't think it would start this much discussion,a lot of people clearly have been having the same thoughts as me ,though I can see the argument from both sides.
Also I stuck the poll in the thread just to gauge what everyone did think really.
I never intended it to be seen as an official vote and anyway I am not a moderator so it wouldn't be my place to.
Some good points being raised though and if anything it's got extra traffic to the site and maybe got a few on the FB group having a look in here.
Mods feel free to lock the topic when the 7 day poll is finished :daumenhoch:

I've posted pics of my Motorbikes on here and had  good chat about them, I posted an amazing BSA on the FB page and a few bell ends said " what does this have to do with BMX ?"...pricks don't have a clue what RAD is all about.

maybe thats the difference,this is a BMX forum but we can chat about other interests/happy nonsense,were as maybe the facebook page is strictly Bee Em Ex
im not on it so i probably aint in a position to comment
but i am
negativity is for chumps,positivity is for champs

Exactly Ash, if it is Rad it is Rad, whether that is a BMX, MTB, Motorbike, Car or bloody tractor.
