old school a Facebook group,any facebook users?

[markyp]

what a bunch of farking retarded newbies over in that place,w@nkers like that are one of the reason ive turned my back on the old school scene,the way they carry on youd think they were the first person to ever build an old school bmx.ive pretty much just been hounded out of that place and ridiculed for posting a pic of my t.a for sale in somebody elses for sale thread,yes I know not the done thing but I did say that if it offended I would remove and that I wasn't trying to hijack anybody elses thread,the bike isn't for sale until next month really when I will have time to take lots of pics of it and prices,i just thought it might be useful to someone as they were talking t.a's,a bit naughty of me but like I said I started off by stating that I wasn't hijacking and to hit me up if anybody interested,i then got asked for a pic which I posted and then all hell let loose.thats what really annoys me about the facebookers,no respect for time served blokes like myself,does my head in

Mark, your not the only person with this opinion of the numerous FB o/s pages, bmx history is being rewritten on a daily basis, and only a few will know your history regarding o/s.

Fb is for showing off and selling stuff, little more, bust ups occur by the minute, I had a small one regarding a T.A funnily enough!

Take it with a pinch of salt. Andy.

Came off that page not long after it first started.  After they tried to bully someone into selling their original BMX Bandits cinema poster for charity. 

Play it safe... sell it here to a more appreciative audience.

cheers guys,nice to know im not the only one feeling the pain and seeing the demise,and yes of course when it comes to selling RAD  will always be my first choice

Still not missing Facebook

One of the reasons why I couldn't get into facebook. 

[oldschoolace]

Was discussing those retards with someone on here not that long ago after their Xmas ride out.
Most of them are too thick to realise they are being taken for a ride by a select few 

[bigfatolly]

There are a few good lads on there to be fair,I have bought and sold on there without any problems.
Yes there are a few dickheads but there were a few on here to be fair as well.
But I get what you are saying,I long for the halycon days on here when I would be glued to the for sale section when doing my first few builds.
Still love it on here but Facebook has ruined this site,end of story.

I know what you mean there's some fooking cockcheese clueless muggy c**ts on there.i see stuff way cheaper on eBay than those people ask and get.ive bought a few things on there but only off people I know who are on here as well.crazy money for tat you couldn't give away even 4 years ago.

You hear lots of horror stories about various FB pages .... I guess it's like everything you need to take the best bits that suit your own tastes and needs ...it's often a place for show offs and those who like to re-write OS BMX history ..The Rad Forum will always be number one end of.

Us Radsters also need to play our part on here too. I was speaking to someone last nights at Carl's do who wasn't a fan of here because as s newbie he'd asked a perfectly reasonable  question and be given grief for it ...
Banter between mates is one thing but I guess lots of lurkers would begin posting if they felt their needs could be met without fearing hassle ?
Just saying

Facebook is like the rest of the Internet, mostly full of nutters. Luckily I like giggling at nutters so I don't mind

What happened to the 'Cash Code'? 🤔

Good point Steve .. We were only discussing the very same code last night

This would be massive Nick! If we can upload decent sized images and even possibly have the site host them it would makes huge strides to the longevity of the site and especially reference material

Define 'decent sized'? At the moment it's set to 1MB per attachment. We don't have unlimited hosting space but I can up it from 1MB if it's causing problems

[oldschoolace]

Looks like it's 1024kb per image when I try under the text box. Would be nice to just drop images direct from phones without having to edit them for size but I'm guessing it's a big ask.
Is there anyway of having some sort of auto compression? I think thumbsnap on pistonheads does something similar?

There are a couple of mods that would help, I'm going to take a look at them with the Admins

The post on which you commented was a sales post for a skyway ta.
You posted in the comments saying you had a TA for sale, you then replied to a request for pictures with a picture and a price of £2400.
Three members complained at you for doing so including the person who's sales post it was.
You was then asked to not hijack a sales post and if you was selling your bike to start your own thread - a perfectly reasonable request.
If that's not hijacking I don't know what is?

This would be a great help.
I for one enjoy the forum and would love to use it more often, I'm just not the most technically minded when it comes to hosting and posting etc.

That's fair enough as long as we're not gonna get a pic of your bike every time you pop out for a pint of fooking milk.
