How did you get here??
« on: January 26, 2004, 08:32:22 PM »
This is a spin-off topic of Bones' topic about us being the lucky ones. My question is, how did you come across this site?? How did you find this place of vast knowledge and wonderful people?? Did you stumble onto it randomly, was it referred to you?? Please share.

As for me, I stumbled upon this site a few years back in searching for some "ball reviews" on equipment I was about to purchase. I came here and never left!! I love it here!!

Thanks everyone for making this a wonderful place to be!!

Well, a long time ago my Mom got really drunk... 9 months later, I was born... and 28 years after that, my pro shop guy mentioned the site.  I looked it over, and have been here since.

I've been a member of this site since it first started (I was 14 years old then... about 5 years ago now) when the background was dark blue and what not. Lefty Tester was a regular, among others. I actually found out about this site when the "Old" PBA had an advertisement for BallReviews.com, and I've been hooked ever since.

This site has been good to me, especially when Scott Scriver was running it. He happily sponsored my team in the Junior World Team Challenge by giving all of us a BallReviews.com shirt.

A guy on my team told me to check it out.  I did and loved it.  I'm here all the time now asking for tips, advice, and such.  Thanks to all that have helped me out in my quest of becoming a better player.

Yep. Got a chance to buy a cuda 2000 and wanted to find out about it. Did a search on ballreviews, and BAM. What's so bad is I was here two of three times reading reviews before I realized this forum section even existed.

It's funny you ask because I really can't remember...I think I was told about the site by a friend who thought I would like to write reviews.  I did like writing the reviews but I never seem to have enough time to get them done quickly anymore...by the time I review a ball it's been out for months and on one cares!

Found this site like Bones did. I was a member of ETEAMZ after I retired from the Army in 99. Someone suggested this site and I've been here ever since.

My version is much like 9andaWiggle, unfortunately I have to add a lot of years!

REgards,

Luckylefty
Unfortunately for me, I use the site as a place to get ideas and concepts to go out and test just because I'm really not bowling competitively.  As my bowling is so interferred with that I haven't been in a tournament for two years!  Haven't improved a bit but I love this site.

Note, could improve!

Time passes so fast .. don't know how long I've been here .. as someone mentioned before .. was here a long time before I ventured into FORUM .. Initially, I think someone told me about the site .. now it's the first place I go when signing on!
