New USBC Website
« on: August 03, 2009, 12:57:20 PM »
That is easily one of the worst website redsigns in the history of the internet.  As a USBC member, I'm embarrased by the site and think the boneheads responsible should be fired.

JBracer....did you search by both name and ID#?  Because its possible if you did not include your id # on your membership application (if it was not prefilled out by your assoc.) that your name was not exactly the same and therefore you got a different number this year then you've had in the past. Its also possible that if your application card was hand written there could be a typo/error in there at the local assoc. point.  Both will result in a new ID #.  Have you called your local assoc. to make sure you have membership?  Did you receive your USBC membership card in the mail?

Are you the same ToddM who posted the following in bowl.com? If so, it seems as if you criticize the USBC forums over here and praise them over there. Anyway, here's what you said over there:

I LOVE THIS FORUM!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

i don't want to see it tarnished at all. all i want to see is positive thoughts and positive posts. i don't want anything negative at all on here as it could be damaging. that is why i have a question.

i would like to see a change on the reputation app. it shows negative ratings. it even states words like "poor" and highlights it in red. i know that you are in agreeance with me that we shouldn't have anything negative on this forum/site at all.

this is why i am proposing, if you would, to either take away the reputation app or at least change it so that it does not show negative #'s, words like "poor" and highlighted in red.?.? i'm concerned that search engines may be able to pick this up and show that there's negativity on this board. i'm also concerned that youth members would see this and wonder why and possibly could be influenced in the wrong direction.

i'm all in favor of keeping negativity, in all it's forms, off of this site.

thanks for your time and consideration.

As I post this, there are 268 users on line in ballreviews.com and only one member on line in the bowl.com forum. What does that tell you?

On Further Review,

I read his quote you posted as being very sarcastic, but maybe that's just me.  

Or maybe he had to post it that way so that it would not immediately be deleted.

yes, it's the one and the same... if you've also noticed all the other posts i've made since the one they deleted have all been sooooo sugary sweet and nice and blah blah blah. i'm mocking the heck out of them. plus, at the same time questioning their thinking, moderating and so on...

if you are on facebook, look up the group tiat land. it's a continuation of the former this is a test thread. there you can also read about everyone else that is ticked about the new forums on bowl.com.

yes, i decided to play their game and be SUPER nice and mocking them with it since what i REALLY want to say will not get past the moderators.

Thanks ToddM. I should have realized you were being sarcastic. I have to wonder how long a forum can last if it doesn't allow freedom of expression or opinions that don't match those of the moderators.

not a problem.

as far as lasting as long as they hope? who knows...

i do know that you can't have any kind of reasonable debate if your thoughts, feelings do not match up with how usbc feels because it will be deleted.

as it stands, you have to wait hours for your message to be posted as it is. i don't know how any "discussion" can take place if it takes hours for a message to be posted.

Maybe eventually USBC will have a panel appointed by Obama to determine what can be posted. Both USBC and Obama seem to dislike criticism of any kind.

Tried a couple of different emails to bowl.com individuals and got back that the email addresses don't exist.  Don't know what to make of that.  Of course it may well be just another way they avoid any criticsm whether it be constructive or not.

At least in this forum, positive and negative opinions can be stated. On bowl.com it seems like no negatives whatsoever will be allowed.

Well, bowlers don't have anything to do with the USBC, it's not like we are funding them or their website, so why should we expect to have any right to comment or criticize what they are doing?
