Looks like I got another post yanked off.  This time I attempted to post a new topic:  INCREASED TRAFFIC ON BOWL.COM

Here is basically what I said (didn't think it would get pulled so I didn't keep a copy):

"A lot has been said about the need for positive information on BOWL.com and its forums.  It has been suggested that this positive information is necessary to increase traffic to the website.

What does USBC get from increased traffic to BOWL.com?  Are advertising rates tied to the amount of traffic that the website gathers?  Will USBC receive additional revenue from an increase in traffic?

Also, while USBC is the National Governing Body (NGB) it is also a membership organization.  I would assume that the changes to BOWL.com were designed in such a way as to attract additional members to USBC.  With that assumption, what criteria does USBC use to determine if the changes were successful?

For the sake of curiosity, how does the current amount of traffic on the new BOWL.com and its forums relate to the traffic received from the old website?"

I certainly didn't think this post was negative toward USBC.  But it sure looks like I might take the lead from ToddM.

EH it is there. One of the admins even said it was the best question ever on the board.

Bowling is like life. Sometimes you are the ball. Other times you are the pins.

Funny...I just checked out the post.  Now it shows that I posted it at 4:14p (assuming Central time) which would be correct.  And the first response is shown at 9:36a.

When I first saw it posted this afternoon (around the noon hour), my post was shown at 3:14 and the first response was shown at 8:36a.

Either I'm losing my mind (over USBC) or the times they are a'changing.

Either way...a delay of over 12 hours in posting a topic is unreasonable (to be kind).

Not only has USBC taken another step backward with its redesign, it now apparently flip-flops even more than before, or perhaps they don't have a clue as to what they are doing. Probably the latter.
