During its lifetime RFSHQ was notable for several small milestones. The website served as the testing ground for the social gaming platform that ultimately became TrackMill Games, it was the first website in the world to feature downloads of full episodes of ''BattleBots'', and a humorous viral graphic created by RFS ultimately led to the Six Flags company temporarily retiring their Mr. Six mascot.

Contrary to popular belief, the website was not named after RFS himself but rather the media group he belonged to at the time, Radio F Software. He eventually adopted the screenname Dracophile in 2008 to differentiate himself from the title of the site. Former site administrator (and international music superstar) [[Cherry Flavored]] suggested the name originally.

Prior to the establishment of GameTechMods, RFSHQ was the largest and longest-running RA2 fansite on the Internet. Despite re-emerging as a comedy website a mere three months after its launch the website failed to reach outside of its original audience and ended up keeping discussion forums for RA2 open in its community. The website was fondly known as "Radio Shack" among the [[Advanced Robot Combat]] community. During his tenure as site administrator RFS authored over 100 articles and produced several dozen original videos as site content.

The RFSHQ library of content is due to be included within the larger archive of legacy content produced by members of the media group Twilight Foundry sometime in 2014.

As of 2014, RFSHQ's library of articles has been absorbed into the larger archives of the media group Twilight Foundry. The archive is incomplete due to lost backup media and missing directories on the former RFSHQ website.
