BR Owners
« on: December 09, 2004, 07:04:21 AM »
You guys suck, it's very obvious you care nothing for the site or what's going on.  It's a very apparent unanimous opinion that Wicked in his many incarnations is a parasite and needs to be dealt with.  This has not been done, and the users have been ignored.  The crap is not worth wading through, I've found a better site elsewhere.  REMOVE MY ACCOUNT (yeah, we'll see how long that takes, if you even pay attention to anything), I won't be back.

Hampster...
Quite complaining about him and do yourself a favor..
See that little red X located below and to the right of your name?  That is the "IGNORE" button.  When "Wicked" makes a post, click that little red X, and it will remove ALL of his posts from your view.  That way you won't have to read/worry about any of his posts!

Well VT the point is we shouldn't have to.  This site is very poorly taken care of.

And if i'm banned, so be it.

. . I'm still here.  Shocker.  It's not just Wicked, it's the reflection of their poor management skills that he's revealed.  They pay attention to nothing.  This other site I'm at has the feel that BR had back when Scott owned it.  You know, the owner posts and pays attention to the members.

Lol, good luck with that one.  I'm TRYING to get my account removed, and so far nothing's happening.

I like how Wicked can stay around and nothing is done about that but we have a bad word filter on the site.  That cracks me up.

If this site sucks so much, then why are you here?  

Boo Hoo, the site I use for free has trolls that I HAVE  to respond to, why oh why won't they go away????

Uh who are you talking to?  Hampster IS leaving, and I don't respond to wicked's posts, i could care less.  I think the site has gone downhill as a whole, as has been discussed for months.

Dan, go to hell, it's obvious you're not paying attention.  I don't respond to the trolls, and the same as Lefty said, I've learned a TON from this site, and it hacks me off that the new owners are letting it slide down the tubes.  Somebody could sneak a virus into the BR servers and the owners would probably be happy.  I was more or less trying to prove a point.  My account hasn't been removed, like I knew it wouldn't, and I'll probably still post occasionally, but the fact remains that they don't pay attention so if something ever really goes wrong with the site, I guarantee that the problem will be ignored.

I think they're taking a 'fredom of speech' approach.

Well then they can at least get rid of the filter, so it's TRUE freedom of speech.

Andy, I was referring to all the people who constantly talk about how the site sucks.  If someone doesn't like it there are thousands of other sites out there.  I was also referring to the dozens of members of this site that DO respond to the trolls.  The whole reason those guys post is to irritate people and get a reaction.  If there is no reaction, they will get bored and find someplace else to muck up.  And if you read the Hampsters reply to me, you see that he ISN'T leaving.

Hampster, very nice response, very mature of you, I shall take your advice in to consideration, but I don't think I shall be going to hell anytime soon.  I stand by my statement, if you think the place sucks, and you have found a "better site" then please go there.  Why should the owner remove your account?  I'm sure that this site is ALL he has to do and is his sole source of income, so he should do nothing but monitor the site to make sure it is up to your standards.  You pay nothing so if you want your account gone, stop coming here.      

Some of us are capable of figuring out in about 2 seconds what is worth reading and what is not, and still feel that the site has enough to offer to more than offset the few idiots that have nothing better to do than annoy others.

So basically that means they don't even look at the site?  That's f-ed up.  I think they could at least come ONCE a week and obviously see what should be deleted.  Having us send them links to stupid posts would just cram their inbox, anyways.

As long as bowling info is here, I'm staying.  But, if all the knowledgeable people leave, i'm out too.

What a response from the the "BR MAN"  That's actually sad.  I'm sure they are busy people but if they don't want to spend the time to clean up the site and make it better then they should sell it.  Or better yet (and I know I don't know the details of who owns it) they should have never bought it or created it if they didn't want to put forth the effort of making it the best site possible.  It needs some administration, minor admin, but admin nonetheless because when there is no-one over seeing what gets posted and no-one to delete then we get people like Wicked or whatever the Heck other 10,000 names he has.  Just sad.

I sent an e-mail to the address inquiring about buying the forums only.

I'm sure they'd ask for 5-digits, more than it's worth to me.  But still, I never heard back from them.  It seems they don't want to sell it or improve it.  I know a few bowling centers like that.  They have all turned into DUMPS!

Oh well.  I guess I'll have to just keep on going with my site until it's the 800lb-gorilla that I know it will be one day.  Less than two years ago it had zero member and zero hits.  Today I'm over 1000 users and just under 2 million hits a month.  Not bad for a messkin, huh?!

hehehe

By the way, I will be launching a Ball Reviews feature to the site over the weekend.  Stay tuned for that!

Peace!
