RadioClassifieds

[M0YDP]

The introduction:

A short insight into the forum & why it was started.. A short time ago both myself M0YDP & friend M0PMR decided to start a new forum .. After a long discussion we found we were both unhappy with most forums & how they were both ran & moderated .. It appeared that whilst most forums were very good in contents they suffered from lack of moderation & heavily hammered with scams & crooks . At this point we decided enough was enough & set about looking for forum software ..


First of all we did what most had done in the past, & tried the free bulletin boards which were good, however we found them very limited & only offered the basics, this was no good.. We wanted to offer much more than that so the search continued..

We both set out looking for the right software, & we must of sampled 20 or 30 different packages before we settled on vbulletin .. Now, we thought!..
We have the software we now need a host, & the next mission started (To find a reliable sever/host) eventually we settled on > free virtual servers < .. Hence on November 17th 2006 RadioClassifieds was born...

Now the next challenge was what did we want out of the forum whilst still Providing what everyone else was wanting at the same time??..

Long deliberation again!.. We didn't want to go down the road other forums had gone & decided that it was only going to be the kind of forum that could only be viewed as a member .. We simply decided this would minimize the risk of scams & crooks ..

However looking at other forums & what mistakes were made their we also decided that RadioClassifieds would only be a licenced radio amateur forum hence RadioClassifieds.co.uk was truly born & launched November 17th 2006..

Well now you know the story, how about giving us a try ...

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this short story/post & we all hope to welcome you to our fast growing community ..

Kind Regards To All
