Bye Bye hammer

[rehcuob]

Just read the crap you losers posted, I wouldnt buy another hammer if last ball in the world. This forum is occupied by a bunch of cry babys. 20 yrs ago bowling was real now you have fake scores on all these blocked houses. by the way averaged 200+ last night with the good fitting ball not the hammer. So live in your fantasy world and bye

and? i shot 298 this year with a non hammer all, shot 2 700's, multiple 800 and a couple of 900 over 4 with a non hammer ball. lately i have not picked up a hammer ball

but you dont see me putting down a brand, just because i averaged over 200 with a non hammer ball...

btw...... not everybody deserves to be called a loser, not EVERYBODY has been involved with that thread....

i will say it again...

welcome to 21st century of bowling

great for the young juniors of the sport..

I think that around 2-3 people made bad comments and now everyone is leaving.

People that leave over this need to quit with the eDrama. WELCOME TO THE INTERNET. It has ALWAYS been this way, heck head over to ballreviews.com, SAME WAY. So quit crying over spilled milk, and stop getting bent out of shape over words posted on a forum. If it really effects you THAT much, you are taking things WAY to seriously.

And quit saying s**t about "juniors and the sport", 99.99999% of bowlers do NOT read these forums and nothing said here effects them. Bowling is great for youth, I see kids-teens everywhere bowling and having a great time, so stop acting like the downfall of bowling is on the way and get outside more if you really think these forums are causing a decline in the entire world.

Arg, pathetic people, very pathetic.

Am I late on the coining of the word "eDrama"? I chuckled at that one.

its not just happeneing here... its happening at bowling tournaments.. msn... everywhere... and i grew up listening to this s***... in australia we have lost some great juniors in this sport because of this crap...

it is a downfall, because in the future, you will have the junior what were listening to it, doing it when they are adults.. and it will get worse and worse, so dont tell me its pathetic...

i know bowling is great for junior and youth.. have a look. i just came out of juniors, i have been around this crap and it does effect them... its not doing the juniors any good...

I am 19, and before I joined here I was unaware any drama like this existed in bowling, and I am willing to guess the 22 year olds on my team who do not browse here are unaware of any issues. What does that say?

honestly, do you reckon. EVERYSINGLE junior and youth bowler hears about it...

bowling is very small in Australia compared to the USA, you will be amazed at how much everybody knows everybody here, yes it has stopped a little bit here, but it sounds like its just going to start up again...

i dont wanna start any shit here never did, if i was... i would of posted already that i am leaving.. and no i'm not.... being the 2nd most activemember of the forums.. i have seen some changes... wish it could go back to start of 2006, forums were best then...

damm shame...

forums are coming back like when quest was here..

Well honestly I didn't notice an issue here until, today. I joined a month ago, and average something like 12 posts a day here. I have been insanely active, and can't imagine I would miss something, the site seemed fine. Heck, I singlehandedly am responsible for moving this site ranking up around 20,000-50,000 rankings on alexa (I have the toolbar installed that tracks browsing trends) because of how much I read. (if that means nothing to you, alexa is a website popularity tracking company and I submit my browsing statistics and what sites I visit to them so they can see trends of what sites people visit, when I joined the rank of this site was around 314,000 and now its 252,642).

Back to the topic, people I know who bowl are unaware of issues, because they don't browse bowling online. They go to league, have a blast, and thats it, they don't go online like us few and talk about it, etc. The world of bowling outside the internet is much larger than those who participate in the online talk of bowling. So no, 99% of people outside of the ones online are unaware of any issues, at least I have observed that.

If I walked up to someone and said "Isn't the current state of bowling sad" they would reply by saying "What the heck are you talking about tool?"

Before I say anything, just want to make sure you guys know I'm not choosing a side, only making an observation.

I think those same 99% are least likely to be the ones are striving to become serious bowlers. Very uninformed statement. I think the issue being argued is that all the younger bowlers are serious about pursuing this sport for a lifetime are who the statement is generalizing. Again, my observation of what was intended now what I may or may not believe.
