THE OTHER BOWING BOARD SITE bad mouthing this one

[MICHAEL]

I occasionally go to the other site, (lockwoods) to check it out for information about bowling! You know it upsets me that on numerous threads here and there, they bad mouth this site! Many of the people throwing stones have won one or more balls on this site. You get the opinion that they are above this one, and even make rude comments on some of the people on this site, including my good friend Aslan!!! Countless times they mention what a GREAT site THEY have and that they would not allow on their site things that are happening on this one!

They have an arrogance and up-a-tee attitude that I find condescending!

HAVE ANY OF YOU SEEN people on this website, bad mouthing your site? Only problem I had was with make believe, guyl! I love the his profile where he states his bowling average! He puts it this way: "It changes to much and varies from league to even try in keep up" words to that effect! might it be around 170?? Nothing wrong with that,,, Its as easy keeping up with your averages as making a post?

LOL O well, its a fee country!! (make believe guy), is one of the owners, big wigs on that site, integrity should be the corner stone of ANY Organization, yet he has been caught spinning tales of lies on many accounts. I could go back and bring them up, but that is not my intent! I won't even mention the name of your site!

Both sites have some good information, Please stick to bowling, and lets not attack one another!


Live to bowl, and Bowl to live!! Iron Man!

[tccstudent]

I dont think I have ever been to that other site.

[Aslan]

and even make rude comments on some of the people on this site, including my good friend Aslan!!!


Was it DHoff??

Listen man...LOTS of people don't like me...on LOTS of sites. If I cared about that...I'd have jumped off a bridge LONG ago.

And it's not just that site. I was actually trying to buy a ball on BBexchange and some troll came into the thread and started saying rude things about how my price point was unrealistic. I merely responded that I had seen the ball for "about" that price...and really didn't NEED another ball...I just thought maybe someone was selling one/cleaning out stock. Well, I then got THREE trolls who showed up insulting me and saying "if you can't afford the extra $19, you should quit bowling"...personal insults, etc... in a FOR SALE/WANTED thread!!! Finally one troll popped in and told the other trolls not to pay any attention to me because I was a troublemaker on THIS site and just there to start trouble.

I mean, are you kidding me!?? Because I wanted a ball for $71 and didn't want to pay $89.95?? Finally the administrator had to step in and "remind" the trolls that there are rules regarding "FOR SALE/WANTED" thread and they were violating those rules. In other words, if you don't like what people are selling or the price they are willing to pay for what YOU'RE selling...then don't buy/sell at that price. But insulting people and making personal attacks and turing for sale threads into "Springer" is not appreciated.

But...it's hard. Whether it's this site or that one or any other one...even if you follow rules....even if you try to be respectful...even if all you have is "an unpopular opinion"....it still eventually leads to people like me getting booted. Because sites would rather sacrafice "opinion variety" than have their moderators constantly "moderating" arguements. Sometimes you have 5 dogs and 4 of them constantly gang up on the 5th. And in those cases...sometimes it's just easier to have someone adopt the 5th dog than to constantly break up fights.

Iceman...and I know you and I are at LEAST on the same page with this sentiment/belief....next time you're on the site (any site) and they start throwing rocks at me, or this site, or other users...just remind them that it doesn't take much courage to talk about people behind their backs. I haven't backed down from a fight yet...so if they want to find me...they know where I am. If not...well...let them have their little sewing circle. People that are cowardly like that...they aren't worth worrying about.

ETA: I agree it's bad for to criticize a site where you won a ball as well. If people had any decency, they'd give the ball back.

[YODA]

What other site are you all referring to? I poke around a few forum sites, wondering if I am around this one or not.

[vdubtx]

ICEMAN, where are these bad mouthing posts? I am on the other site as well and don't see any posts bad mouthing Bowlingboards.

YODA, The other site is Bowlingintel.com.

[tr33frog]

That is pretty normal. You should see how much most of the KC Chiefs board members hate other boards. Posters tend to take ownership of their BB's in such a way that takes on a very childish, "Mine is better than yours", attitude. I like to follow the, to each their own, as most BB's have a different general look and feel and you should just pick the one that fits you the best.

I was wondering if that was it or not. I got a pm inviting me to it awhile back.

[MICHAEL]

the site is http://www.bowlingintel.com most of the negative-up-a-TEE remarks are found in the forum area! Someone will make a negative, or sarcastic remark, and the MOD, (((the times I have come across it, will FAN the Flames and agree)))

This site has some great features, especially the Bowling versity, with Rich! I think lockwood did a nice job putting it all together! Let's keep the wise cracks, especially in the forum area clean! That's up to YOU MOD's!!

The Bible says: Judge not another Bowler/bowling site, Less thee JUDGE thy self/own site!

Now lets PLAY BALL!!!

[circlecity]

I'm on most of the forums and each one has its goods and bads. Like http://www.mrbowling300.net/ is cool but I think a much older crowd is over there.

[TCJ]

Yes, some of them are older, but there are also quite a few regular members who are younger as well.

[Aslan]

ICEMAN, where are these bad mouthing posts? I am on the other site as well and don't see any posts bad mouthing Bowlingboards.

YODA, The other site is Bowlingintel.com.

I looked and I don't see anything. The only other bowling forum I've thought about joining was bowlingcommunity.com. I almost joined there when my initial attempt here was blocked by the raging auto-security feature. But once Bowl1820 fixed it...I guess I don't have the time or motivation to be a member of EVERY bowling site that exists.

That other site (bowlingintel) looks new. But it's the same people as here with the same usernames. Weird.

[tracy]

I'm registered on all the other sites also and I don't see it. So far everybody has been respectful and informational on all the sites to me.

[vdubtx]

Hmmm... Maybe ICEMAN is trying to fan flames about the other site since he was banned from there awhile back while he was exposing Bill.

[Jaescrub]

Also belong to both and have not see an S talk going on. :/ I know iceman hates bill so i think this is all about that.

[Aslan]

Hmmm... Maybe ICEMAN is trying to fan flames about the other site since he was banned from there awhile back while he was exposing Bill.

Ohhhhhh!!! And the plot THICKENS!! Like an episode of DYNASTY!!

Don't worry Ice....I got your back. They got 1000 users but how many would they have if they didn't do ball giveaways. You KNOW thats why people join a site like that! As soon as a site does some kind of giveaway...all the sudden there are like 3000 members...and 24 active members. Even on this site...as soon as a new ball giveaway gets announced....BAMM....30 new members...each one going into the giveaway thread saying, "Pick me, Please!"

Iceman was right for exposing Bill. Granted...being used to being hated on the internet...and kicked out of a forum or two...I may have counciled him to maybe go a little softer. There's ways to expose those who are dishonest....without lighting a bag of POO on fire and leaving it on their doorstep. It takes more time....careful planning....but far less likely to lead to banning.

Don't worry Ice. You still have me!! When Bowl1820 finally leaves to go moderate that site....and all these other folks go over there...to be rid of the anarchy and the insesscant ramblngs of you and I....we will still be here....hopelessly trying to find me a girlfriend....like true bowlers should.

[bowl1820]

That other site (bowlingintel) looks new. But it's the same people as here with the same usernames. Weird.

Nothing weird about it, the online bowling community is small. Most of us that have been around awhile are on most of the bowling boards.

[RobLV1]

I'm one of the moderators on that other site, and noone is doing any badmouthing, and certainly no moderator is fanning any flames. While a lot of the same members are on both sites, there is very little crossover in terms of content. Can't everyone just get along?

Rob Mautner

[Aslan]

the online bowling community is small.

Why is that? I mean, with bowling being "every man's game" (or WOman's)...you'd think there'd be more activity online. Oh well. More chances for me to win a bowling ball I geuss.

[tr33frog]

Why is that? I mean, with bowling being "every man's game" (or WOman's)...you'd think there'd be more activity online. Oh well. More chances for me to win a bowling ball I geuss.

Because it isn't that big of a spectator sport, not a lot of rivalries among fans to create arguements. I mean look at this site, you don't see much in the way of arguements between Hammer and Columbia bowling ball people. Without that level of passion or controversy it is hard to build large, highly active communities.

[dnhoffman]

This thread seems like nothing but flame bait.

I never go to that other site, and have no idea why we're talking about it on this one.

[bowl1820]

This thread seems like nothing but flame bait.

I never go to that other site, and have no idea why we're talking about it on this one.

As is my prerogative, I am locking this thread now, as continuing this discussion is pointless.

[bowl1820]

Okay it was brought to my attention I'm the only on who thinks this is a pointless thread that's just flame bait. So I unlocked it so everyone who see's the point can continue the discussion.

Have fun.

[JaMau24]

Have fun.

What I said was "just because you think a discussion is pointless, doesn't mean others think it is as well." I never pin-pointed any specific thread.

The only thing I'd say about this thread is... Things never have been out of control. I don't think it warranted a lock.

[bowl1820]

What I said was "just because you think a discussion is pointless, doesn't mean others think it is as well." I never pin-pointed any specific thread.

Let's see we were talk about mike, locked thread and you said "I don't even go to that other site, so I wouldn't have a clue what he was referring to." that seems to specify a thread to me.

But okay you didn't specify a thread.


The only thing I'd say about this thread is... Things never have been out of control. I don't think it warranted a lock.

Nobody said anything about "out of control", sometimes you have try to stop things before they can get started.



Oh and for the "Lay off the thread closing hammer for awhile... " you say that like I've been locking threads everyday. Well I haven't, I lock two threads I felt were designed to start something and that was my call.

But I listened to you and unlocked them to give Mikes threads a chance.

Just like I gave Aslan a chance and everyone voted they wanted him to stay so he stayed.

[sprocket]

So anyways different bowling forums tend to appeal to a certain bowling group for certain reasons. For example the "technical" forum (you know which one I mean) tends to appeal to those who are really into the technical aspects of bowling ball designs and layouts. So what is the difference between this forum and the other forum that I have never been to?

Really you should go and see for yourself http://www.bowlingintel.com

It was started by people who left here (who didn't like the direction the site was headed IMO) and a lot of people from here have went there.

It's not as technical as BC, but not as wide open and as put the word "POO" in the thread title as here.

They started a ball giveaway, they have Rob Mautner for technical info and some coaches, the forum software is up to date and seems to run okay.

It's more like how this site was when it first started (Not that anyone here besides me remembers when it was "BBAM" (Bowling Balls And More) or the early (after the name change) bowling boards when Kingpin ran it.)


As a sidenote: Mike said he was banned from the other site, but I looked as far as I can see he was either never banned or it was a temp. ban. (If he was using the Name Iceman) at least it doesn't show him as banned.

He also went by the name "The Truth". I remember when all that went down. Perhaps they lifted the ban status on the user names? Not sure.

[vdubtx]

I post to both sites as they each have their own personality. The forum software there certainly works as it should. Can actually edit a post and actually be taken to the last post in thread when you want.

ETA: I agree it's bad for to criticize a site where you won a ball as well. If people had any decency, they'd give the ball back.

in defense of bbe, if a ball was SD you wanted it for like $15 shipped. Considering on avg, a ball costs $25 shipped, sellers would be losing money. The lowest ive seen a ball go for is the price of shipping that those are either spare balls or multi drills. At some point you have to stop blaming other people and look at yourself. You think its a coincidence that you always generate attention on any site you go to? If you reply to this Aslan, i request that you dont write an essay in reply.

I agree. That wasn't the case. I was looking for a certain ball for like $70-$72 shipped. Some guy chimed in that the price I was asking was way too low. I responded that it wasn't too low...that it was available on some sites for $89.95 shipped...but I didn't really "need" it so I was looking for a certain price point. Thats when I got comments like, "If you can't afford $19 then you should quit bowling" and I got another troll come in and say, "he's a problem on bowlingboards...so just ignore him."

The end result was the moderator stepped in and reminded the 3-4 trolls that there is a policy on For Sale/Wanted boards that you not comment on prices...if you don't like the price....don't buy it/sell it. It's that simple. So in other words, THEY were violating site/forum policy....I was not.


At some point you have to stop blaming other people and look at yourself. You think its a coincidence that you always generate attention on any site you go to?

Agreed. Thats a good point. And thats my fault, I should have clarified that I have also been on numerous sites and forums where there haven't been any issues. I was just pointing a few examples of the bad things. Also...realize in the example above....and here at bowlingboards...I'm not violating any rules. So if I am not violating any policies/rules...and the people getting bent out of shape and "flaming" ARE...I guess I just don't see I am automatically the "bad guy". It seems like sometimes, on some sites, the site would rather have people that agree than have people that follow the rules...and that seems silly to me.


If you reply to this Aslan, i request that you dont write an essay in reply.

Granted.

It'd be interesting to know what people who prefer that site have to say about it. To me, a forum is a forum. They all seem very similar. Bigger ones tend to get more youth...and that tends to lead to more immaturity. But smaller ones tend to have the opposite problem where you have to deal with "cliques" and tend to be more iron fisted. At least from what I've seen.

[JaMau24]

What is this!? A conversation taking place that hasn't gotten out of hand!? Blasphemy! This thread was locked because any and all conversation from a certain point on was deemed to be pointless!

and no Bowl1820, I wasn't specifically talking about any thread being unlocked. I made a separate comment about this specific thread, to which you, yourself, made the connection as if I was targeting this specific thread...



At the end of the day, who really gives AF... It's a bowling site of which conversation should be welcomed of any kind. If things aren't out of hand, which they weren't, then there is no reason to lock threads.



EDIT: and for the record, I think Mike was stating his opinion, not trying to start a war between two sites.

[bowl1820]

At the end of the day, who really gives AF.. .


I agree.

[MICHAEL]

» Gunz1911 - 07-12-18:37 -- What happened on that site that shall not be named? I never go there anymore.

» classygranny - 07-12-14:52 -- I just hope he doesn't jump ship to the Intel...sorry, just my opinion.
» Tank - 07-12-13:41 -- i spoke to him via pm so hopefully he takes it into consideration for his own and the forums sake
» bowl1820 - 07-12-11:47 -- well prob solved the admin said he can stay. I'll let them deal with the fallout.
» ScottyMoney - 07-12-01:24 -- Glad we haven't had to deal with that here. Although they wouldn't have as many chances on here.
» classygranny - 07-12-00:36 -- at least with a child you can attempt to explain and reason with them
» Tank - 06-12-23:48 -- lol admittedly he is pretty difficult. Like a child
» bowl1820 - 06-12-23:11 -- problem user
» ScottyMoney - 06-12-23:07 -- ???
» bowl1820 - 06-12-23:00 -- ARG! BB.com is driving me crazy

It was not a thread it was casual things mentioned here and there about OUR Site!! ScottyMoney saying in a sense we run a better, tighter site!
Is Aslan different??? Hell yes! But sometimes you need a little vodka in the eggnog! How many times can you ask, ( what's the best ball cleaner, how do I get more Rev's, ect ect! :rolleyes:

I will not say anything bad about lockwoods site, The most I ever see on their site the times I check it out are about, (well at the moment 2 members, and 7guest!

Why the low numbers, maybe because most come to this site for the free ball each week! (NOT ME, but most), I think they are giving a ball away each month, ( I believe), and that could be why bowlingball.com has MUCH HIGHER visits!
As I have said, I think Lockwood did a great job, I just can't be a part of a bowing site that has a phony, as a administrator, he did take down his 228 average, but now has another bunch of B.S.,,, "My average changes sooooo much that I can't keep up with it"! Right..... more lies,,, If you have time to post 5000 threads on bowlingboard.com, and become a God, LOL,,, you (for sure), have the time to put your current average... so many stories, and B.S!! All his unsanctioned 300's,,, when in reality you can go to Bowling Awards com and see his average is around 165 to 170! Wow some of the stories he would write.... Honesty, and integrity mean something to me! I am just that way, that's why I always post pictures of my league scores when I do something worth sharing.
Anything you read without proof, may many times be just B.S. Average are so easy to check out, and I did Bill's.
It was all a lie, plan and simple!! I must admit his way of side stepping his real average was very lame!! LOL

I proudly post my USBC number for all to see, nothing to hide.

[bowl1820]

lets see you found ten lines out of the chatbox from last year and that's what constituted bad mouthing this site?

My part:
bowl1820 - 06-12-23:00 -- ARG! BB.com is driving me crazy
bowl1820 - 06-12-23:11 -- problem user
bowl1820 - 07-12-11:47 -- well prob solved the admin said he can stay. I'll let them deal with the fallout.

Well technically nothing was said bad about this site.

Lets see all I said was I had a problem and it got took care of.

So wow that was really bad mouthing this site.

So now your going continue by bad mouthing bill some more. (I at least didn't mentioned names.)

Well that's okay, as you said you fought for freedom here, freedom of speech etc. so you have a right to say it.

Tell me do I and the other people in the chat have the same rights.


Oh and as for the number of members on there, the log over there shows there were 39 "actual" Members Online Today

[dnhoffman]

You guys need a hobby, maybe take up bowling or something?

[bowl1820]

You guys need a hobby, maybe take up bowling or something?

Right! Like the O.P. said "Please stick to bowling, and lets not attack one another! "

Yes let's not say things like "They have an arrogance and up-a-tee attitude" or infer a lack of integrity. which might be thought of as bad mouthing.

also like the O.P.here said "Let's keep the wise cracks, especially in the forum area clean! That's up to YOU MOD's!! "
(though it might be kind of hard, because they'd be playing god, being iron fisted and stepping on peoples rights to freedom of speech.)

Though I haven't seen any "dirty" wisecracks here or there.

[MICHAEL]

Its time,,,, Iceman got it off his chest! I am moving on! Again, I am not a phony, and do have a HARD time with people that ARE! It's OVER,,, I got it off my chest, and now I will go to church and cleanse my soul of the stink that was eating me up. I don't think people need to defend people like, ( I won't mention his name 1820, they always seem to get what they deserve). The Truth always has a way of finding its way to reality!

You seem to be defending that other web site? Do you agree, or disagree that (I won't mention his name, is a lier).
Strong words, but The Truth!) And that most of his posts, and I could go back are B.S. ITs not just me, I have gotten private messages form several people on the other site that have caught on, and since I brought this up, he has TONED IT DOWN 100 percent! That's all many of us wanted, Tell the TRUTH, That's all. I have told (THAT PERSON in private messages, and in posts myself)!

I will NOT, post another thing about, as they put it, (that other bowling site), useless they or anyone on that site want the truth.....Keep it Real Bi##! (:) that's all I ask.

It's one thing to create this imaginary world, but its another to ask Iceman, and several others that have private messaged me to accept it! Believe me,,, I am not alone....

Ok,,, truly I am done with this subject, best thing I can do is just stay away from that (other site)!

I do wish Lockwood the best! He did a fine job putting his site together!! You have all heard the saying: One bad Apple can ruin the bunch....for me it did. He has never come forward and confessed to his many stories of grandeur and accomplishments.

Ok Now I am DONE, time to move on!!

[bowl1820]

You seem to be defending that other web site?
Defending the other site? Yes In a way maybe, you said the other site was bad mouthing this site Which it wasn't.

This all seems to be just a continuation of your disagreement with the (I won't mention his name) person.



Do you agree, or disagree that (I won't mention his name, is a liar).
I'm not going to agree or disagree with you, that's your personal on going battle with him and I'm not taking part of it.

I think it should be left out of the forums.


Ok Now I am DONE, time to move on!!

I agree, it's time to move on.

OK,,, I guess I will have to disagree with YOU! TRUTH is very important, but I will move ON! But,,, but,, I can't let you have the last word... STOP,,,, and I will!! LOL In the grand scheme of life, this is probably very low on my thoughts, but I know you are associated where site, I believe your a mod? Maybe a conflict of interest! There are some great people on that site.
From the forum clip I copied, if you don't think they are up-a-tee...lol,,, well that's your portative! NOW LET IT BE,,, don't fan the flames! I am truly finished with this enlighting thread! (:)

[bowl1820]

OK,,, I guess I will have to disagree with YOU! TRUTH is very important, but I will move ON!
As is your right. Plus I never said truth wasn't important.


But,,, but,, I can't let you have the last word... STOP,,,, and I will!! LOL In the grand scheme of life, this is probably very low on my thoughts, but I know you are associated where site, I believe your a mod? Maybe a conflict of interest! There are some great people on that site.
a conflict of interest? nope.


From the forum clip I copied, if you don't think they are up-a-tee...lol,,, well that's your portative! NOW LET IT BE,,, don't fan the flames! I am truly finished with this enlighting thread! (:)
So If you think everyone in that clip is "up-a-tee" and since I'm in it then your saying I'm "up-a-tee" too. Well that's your prerogative also.

[MICHAEL]

As is your right. Plus I never said truth wasn't important.

bowl1820 I don't think YOUR UP-A-TEE lOL,,, but I do detect it in THEIR mod, saying, in a sense, we run a tight ship here! That's an insult to you!

But then what's this all about defending a person that has without a doubt, and been caught lying! Maybe not you bowl1820, but I have a VERY hard time with liars.

PLAIN and SIMPLE, and they do not run a tighter ship then this web site, nor do they run a better site then this one. If they did run a TIGHT SHIP, they would throw William over board (:) Truth and honesty should be paramount with any Website!!

Are you working for THE OTHER WEB SITE ALSO, along with this one, that's what I was talking about in regards to conflict of interest, are you showing more allegiance to (the other site?) maybe... lol

I have a feeling your not happy with a lot of things on this site. Being a very sensitive Iron Worker, I do feel your pain. Being a Big Guy, I will let you have the last word. (:) Truly,,, I am done with this subject matter!! :rolleyes:

I'm not insulted,

As for William that's your personal battle with him and I'm not taking part of it. I think you should take that up with him directly and it should be left out of the forums.


Are you working for THE OTHER WEB SITE ALSO, along with this one, that's what I was talking about in regards to conflict of interest, are you showing more allegiance to (the other site?) maybe... lol

I volunteer on a couple of sites and I give equal allegiance to all.

Considering all the complaints I've seen on here about how the mobile site and the main site functions, the complaints about how the ball giveaway is run and how facebook people are allowed to enter.

I'd say there's plenty of users here unhappy with a lot of things on this site.

[Aslan]

You guys need a hobby, maybe take up bowling or something?

HA! Hoff said something funny.

Ice, I agree with you that you obvious called Bill out, he obviously was lying…and he used his powers on the other site to get rid of you.

But I also agree with Bowl….they really weren't "bad mouthing this site". Bowl was having issues with me…he mentioned it. A couple others chimed in. It's not surprising. And actually, I'm not even annoyed by it. I think it was better for Bowl to vent there than to vent here. I have issues with Bowl when he takes sides on THIS site because he's a moderator and needs to remain impartial. But on THAT site…he can say whatever he wants.

But who cares man? That other site is a tiny little start-up with hardly any regular users. Some of the people are super excited about it because they think it'll be better in some way than this site. Which implies, that there's something wrong with this site…which I don't get. Seems like this site has weekly giveaways, gets more traffic, has more history, and has a more diverse group of users. It "seems" (without putting words in their mouths) that they like that site because it doesn't have colorful personalities like you and me. Like I've said in the past…there are quite a few people that have the belief that if someone disagrees with their opinion…that person shouldn't be allowed to talk. Those are the kinda people that get excited about a "new forum" where "people like him won't be welcome".

The only thing I take issue with regarding that little "snippet" of their conversation is where the person said, "On this site, he wouldn't get as many chances."

Realize, up until my membership on this site was put up for a vote…I had NEVER received any warnings or "chances". I had a couple threads where they got off track and posts got deleted…but I was never "warned" or PMd or received anything of the sort. I got a couple PMs from a couple users that expressed disagreement with my opinions…but I never received any warnings. So, either that person didn't "know" that…or on their new site people like me would get thrown off as soon as a couple people don't like them….which is going to lead to a forum with relatively few users at the end of the day. My opinion.

[RobLV1]

Bowl1820: I'm thinking that you were right on to lock this thread. Enough already!

[sprocket]

Is there a way to block a topic so I can't see it anymore? Like can I click on something and then I never see it again? Because seriously my IQ drops like 10 points just from seeing the topic title. I'm afraid if I see it enough times I might not be able to read anymore.

[YODA]

the complaints about how the ball giveaway is run and how facebook people are allowed to enter.

I'd say there's plenty of users here unhappy with a lot of things on this site.

Would it be possible to adjust the entry rules then? When you click on the ball giveaway link on the front page to enter it says "== General Giveaway Rules

Every post made on BowlingBoards during the dates listed above will be considered an entry. Drawing will be done the first business day following the contest period. Winner will be contacted via email and through BowlingBoards.com." this implies that you need to be on Bowlingboards.com and a member here (hence the email also) to win the ball because each post counts as a vote.

Then is goes onto say "The goal of BowlingBoards is to bring more people into our community. Participate in the conversations happening here. And while you are at it, you will be earning entries into our drawing." - this also implies that you need to "participate in conversation here" to get chances to win the ball.

And lastly it says "IMPORTANT NOTICE! -- We reserve the right to redraw a winner if the winning post is not of quality content. Quality content is at the sole discretion of the BowlingBoards.com administrators. This means that one word posts will not qualify. Repeating what someone else has said does not qualify.

Just participate in the conversation instead of \"trying to win\" a drawing. The more you participate, the better your chances. " - this is saying that a post will be drawn to award the winner here at bowling boards. also it says the post must be of "quality content". Most FB posts I have seen are quick things like "I want to win", "would love this ball" "hope I win", etc..... then also a "Facebook Share" and a "Like" on FB are also counted as a chance.

Now dont get me wrong. I enter both on here by providing posts, and on facebook, and I hope to one day win a ball, that would be awesome. But would it be possible to chance that page to also show that you can win by the facebook chances also?

[bowl1820]

Would it be possible to adjust the entry rules then?

I'm sure they could, but that's not my call. I don't run the contest.

[Aslan]

Considering all the complaints I've seen on here about how the mobile site and the main site functions, the complaints about how the ball giveaway is run and how facebook people are allowed to enter.

I'd say there's plenty of users here unhappy with a lot of things on this site.

I guess I'm just wired differently….because I don't "get it".

Other than the mobile site thing…which I don't use…there's really NOTHING wrong with this site. Nothing. It's usually quite civil. I haven't seen more than maybe one thread worth of spam. There's no weird pop-ups. The moderator is rather tolerant. And the information is interesting and informative. Add to that there's a chance to win a bowling ball every week!!

And as to the contest…my thought has always been about things like this….anytime you're "given" something…it's kinda bad form to complain about it. I may never win a bowling ball. Oh well. And sure, I've seen people win that post twice a month…sometimes with no real "value" whatsoever. But it's a FREE ball. Someone is GIVING it away. You're not paying money to enter a contest. It's free. It's a gift. The website can give a "gift" to whomever they wish.

And of COURSE the admins want to use Facebook to attract new people to the site and to bowling ball.com. Thats just solid business sense.

I look at it like I do bowling tournaments, poker tournaments, and the lottery. If God wants me to win…I'll win. If not, God wanted someone else to win. If a person is only here to win a ball…hey, good luck. If not…great. Stay and post and have fun and maybe someday you'll win a ball.

[MICHAEL]

ENOUGH!!!!

I have exchanged messages with Bill, not just on here! It's over! THIS IS ONE HELL of a great site, even if they didn't give a ball away each week! Lets Stop, Aslan,,, no more replies! Don't make me become a mod!!! LOL


Really Enough!!

[bowl1820]

The moderator is rather tolerant.

"Rather tolerant" LMAO

[MICHAEL]

"Rather tolerant" LMAO

YOU HAD to have the Last word AGAIN!! LET IT go bowl1820! I know your starting to get into this thread, and maybe secretly want it to continue, but take a DEEP BREATH, and let it out slowly.

LMAO!!

Here's a idea so we both can save face.

You can have the "Last Word" by just posting just these words "lock the thread" nothing else.

I'll lock the thread and it's done.

You have the last word and I have the thread locked.

[Bunny]

I'll do it.

LOCK THIS THREAD.

Please. :)

[Aslan]

"Rather tolerant" LMAO

You're impossible to please man. I keep showering you with compliments and you keep pulling 2 words out of a paragraph to make it seem like I'm criticizing you. Whatever man. If you want me to be the villain/bad guy while you retain title as most tolerant, loving, greatest mod on the planet...fine. I admit it. I'm always wrong, you're always right. You're fair and I'm a pain. I have nothing to offer the site yet you tolerate my existence and for that have earned yourself a place in heaven at the right side of the Father.

All Hail Him!!

P.S. I think EVERYONE is now in agreement about the locking of this thread.

I don't think you were criticizing me, I felt "Rather tolerant" was a understatement so laughed about it.

P.S.
As for locking the thread, everyone may well be in agreement I don't know.

But since I was admonished for locking it in the first place, now it's up to the original poster to request it be locked.

Because if I lock it now someone who didn't think it should locked, will say I was stifling their ability to express their opinion. Just because a couple of other people didn't like it or I that by ""closing people's threads that are in the "everything talk" section is borderline admin abuse""

So I need the O.P. to request it be locked.

[dpatrickv]

Holy crap, some of you guys need to chill out/grow up.

It's the internet, if you can't grow thicker skin then you should probably leave it to the big boys who already have it.

[MICHAEL]

WHY???

Just quit posting...... I know,,,, its a great thread, with a thread of TRUTH!

This doesn't need to be LOCKED, just practice self control, and let me have the LAST WORD,
since I started this thread.

People keep coming back that want it closed, WHY!! I know why!!

It was closed but reopened Because closing it denied freedom of speech. And it wasn't out of hand etc. etc. etc.

There are many dialects and forms of Pig Latin which vary from region to region, country to country, and language to language, as well as other similar, and dissimilar, Pig Latin-like 'languages'. The dialect shown here tends to hail from California/West Coast of the United States. So Aslan, this should be a piece of CAKE for you!

Basically, the Pig Latin system used here works as follows:
• Words that start with a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) simply have "WAY" appended to the end of the word.
• Words that start with a consonant have all consonant letters up to the first vowel moved to the end of the word (as opposed to just the first consonant letter), and "AY" is appended.
('Y' is counted as a vowel in this context)

The algorithm incorporates the following features and special case functionality:
• Ensures proper capitalization
• Correct upper case and lower case formatting
• Correctly translates "qu" (e.g., ietquay instead of uietqay)
• Differentiates between "Y" as vowel and "Y" as consonant
(e.g. yellow = elloyay and style = ylestay) — (except for a very few exceptions)
• Correctly translates contractions
• Hyphenated words are treated as two words
• Words may consist of alphabetic characters only (A-Z and a-z)
• All punctuation, numerals, symbols and whitespace are not modified
