 :coolsmiley:  :daumenhoch:

I've always wondered this  :-[ who was the person that actually got on the computer one day and actually made RAD?  :-\  Is there a specific member that owns the site today?  :-\

 :daumenhoch:

 :radbmxsmilie:

I'm sure this has been covered before and discussed in previous threads, but which person or persons actually started RAD, and are any of them still involved/active on the site?

As I said oliver Barrett (orb) look on members it's got admin, subscribers, founding father's are orb, radbmx, Harris, lazychubs, dingobmx

OK

It goes something like this, BITD a whole lot of us were on vintagebmx and basically took over a thread and threatened to overwhelm the site with our 'British Humour', and then one day 95% of the UK guys were banned for no reason other than Vintagebmx really couldn't cope with us.

So Billy Stupple (Billstup), Dave Giller (RomBloke) and Oliver Barrett (ORB) started a little site called radbmx.  On this site with very humble beginnings, you then had moderators appear, like Harris, Dordy, Dingo, Lazychubs etc.

Over the years the site morphed into what you see today and the founding fathers status are for those orginal guys that are still on the site but are not expected to moderate or play a part in the running of the site.

The current layout of the site is this:

Gashead & Waxintaxin - Site Owners, like the sith lords from Star Wars, they are from the dark side and rule with an iron fist  :LolLolLolLol:

Stidds, Pickle, Bob Acid -  Admin - We are the Dark Jedi and do our lords dark dealings.

Benno, Brummie, Dannywhac, ED209, griff, in2bmx, Jaymz, Poolysherrif - Team Moderators - These are the Storm Troopers and if you piss them off they will kick your ass.... basically these guys do most of the work on site  :LolLolLolLol:


Now you know as much (if not more) than we do.

times change, we used to hang out here on weekend nights and have the craic, it's all about bikes now and the craic is on facebook. Doesn't mean anything, it just happened slowly over time. The bikes stay old, but everything else moves on.

Facebook is the modern pub
All the old blue site spazfords are still about just moved on
It is an ever evolving thing and Rad does its thing , it's a forum , and that is what it will remain something that takes more effort than Facebook

It will be some other technology at some point
