Hello Forum Administration folks
Got a few things on my mind this morning I wanted to toss in to the ever changing mix here on radio reference.
I have read that WE can no longer openly criticize Admins or Moderators which is understandable. But, there is NO place to Commend an Admin or Mod either. An area for that would be nice.
Recently I was looking for help imbedding code to my Joomla site. Two members could not fully work out the problem with me but gave me great help. Both W9RXR and Bezking gave me info which I was unaware of and helped me move in the correct direction. kb32, in PM solved the problem and now my site is displaying my feed.
So I wanted to Thank all three members for the assist but found no real place to post this. Now I understand that area's like this kind of linger in gray area's around the PR of this website with Google indexing and meta data which Radio reference want to keep as positive and on track as possible. But a "Commend a Admin" area might be a nice add (closely moderated of course).
Second: I recently completed the County Incident command Trailer project and during its construction often had my Blackberry running my feed on bbscanner. MANY of the Sheriff's Administration and other Public Safety saw this and liked it, in fact even the Chief Deputy downloaded the app for his iPhone. Today there are MANY in Public safety who listen to my feed and others and even browse the forums, NONE of them see Radio Reference negatively. but rather as a cool asset.
One thing that we wanted to do was put a "Powered by Radio Reference" sticker on the trailer, additionally several people have asked if RRDB has a T-Shirt or other promo apparel such as ball caps and buttons. Apparantly at this point in time there is nothing like this available.
Can this be looked into? Seriously considered? I know selling Shirts requires a lot of time and oversight. Stickers are big too. I have four Police Departments which would proudly wear them on their bumpers, several Fire Departments also.
Radio Reference.com has come a long way since Trunked Radio.net and lcblanton.com, it would be nice to see Radio Reference step into the world of promotional products as well. My coffee cup this morning has Bat wings on it, I'd rather it have Radio Reference on it instead. Shirts and caps would be cool too and you could even use them for members who say purchased a five year subscription - The possibilities are endless.
So just a few thoughts to add to you're already busy days - Have a good one!
