I would like to apologize to Idlehour / Hotshot/Josh/The Painscoming/Bluerrpilot and the rest who all try and keep things in order. I apologize for the personal attacks and the degrading of you all.


When each and every one of us Registered for the Hammer Message Board, we all agreed to the Terms of Use. The Admins at Hammer and J&A Fusion expect those Terms of Use to be honored. As of this moment all those terms of Use Rules will be upheld with the support of Mr. Jeff Ussery and J&A Fusion. I have discussed this with them and was informed to uphold the rules.
I am not here to be a dictator or to Censor anyone's post except for language. Closing a Thread is not Censoring. When I was appointed Moderator I gave Hammer and J&A Fusion my word I would try and do the best I can with Spam and making sure this is the best place to come for information and advice.as well as alittle fun. I have editied posts for language and some for improper content. We have had alot of problems in the past and I thought it was all straightned out to a point. But Iwas wrong. It never ceases to amaze me how a thread of bashing and degrading can have so many people posting and a thread like , "I need some Help or Thumb problems get only five or six replies.

As of now the TERMS OF USE will be enforced. I will edit / remove/ warn and Ban with permission of the Admins if they are not upheld. If someone asks for help or makes a comment about equipment other than Hammer and say hammer does not work for them and another company does, I (WE) expect not to see any Bashing / Name Calling / Humiliation / Language that is not appropiate / or degrading that person of any kind. It will be editied or removed. If this is your intent to degrade / bash / or make fun of those you can go elsewhere and do it as it will not be allowed here.

Those of us who bowl with no thumb / two hands / lefty / righty / backup ball / low avg / high avg / and so forth will get the help and advice as needed . This message board should get the respect that it deserves and Thanks should be given to Hammer and J&A Fusion for putting up this board for all to use. It is open to everyone in the sport of bowling for advice and help. Out of all my 1,000 + posts I have never degraded or put anyone down for a question. My PM's are full everyday and I take the time to answer each and everyone of them respectfully. Some may be late in responding but it gets done.

I have made many friends here over the course of the past two years and respect each and every one of you. Your opinions / advice and help arte always welcome. We are driving people away from here and those that are leaving are good people that I feel I have a friendship with. I do this for my love of the game and to help others improve. I do not claim to know everything and never did. I am learning every day also even with all my years of experience.

I do not want a ton of replies with you are doing a good job. That is not the purpose of this thread. The purpose is to inform all that the Terms of Use will be upheld from here on out.

I Apologize to those again who have helped with advice and those that have been personaly attacked for either thier questions or style of bowling or preference of equipment.

Now let's all get back to doing what this place is all about /

Thanks for your time and understanding.

Bubba, bluerrpilot, slap and a few others, I really appreciate what you guys do here. if it didnt require traveling the country, I would go out of my way to shake your hands, and buy a round (for those of age). you guys are exactly what this forum is about, sharing knowledge, even if you have to repeat yourselves 2 days later to a new member. you guys enjoy the game and are more than glad to help everyone out. Rowdy, I hope you or anyone doesnt mind me calling you the "class clown" of the forum. you keep it loose around here and rather entertaining, which is needed once in a while. bubba, blue slap you guys respect others opinions and knowledge or lack there of, and try to help them out without a complaint. I wish i could offer advice as often as these guys, but I dont have enough experience. again, thank you guys, for keeping things in mostly one piece.
