I have only seen a couple names I remember back some 5 years ago when this place was a total hack fest not to mention TROLL INFESTED! I left the web site not only because of that but because I was losing interest in bowling all together. Well bowling has been a struggle for me as of lately. With me going through some depression issues on top of a really bad bowling slump I decided to see what's going on here and maybe can get myself back to the form I once was!
So far since my return I haven't seen the amount of people bickering back and forth like there was 5 years ago and the drama seems to have been removed for the most part but I haven't really dug deep into this site quite yet.
Anyway, I'm back for now but if I start seeing the crap I did back then I'll just go back into hibernation only using the site for the ball review section only. I hate the high school drama BS just sayin!
BTW, don't let the user name fool you, I'm a Storm fanatic!! Only have storm in my current line up.

The petty high school BS still exists, but most of it exists in the non-moderated, non-bowling miscellaneous threads which no longer show up on the list of recent posts.

Hey J! Good to see at least 1 old timer is still around. I'll be spending most of my time on this site in the Storm section and in this section as well. Seems to be less BS related in these 2 areas which is okay for me. BTW, I can't believe that I've been a registered member to this site for almost 11 years! March 31st 2002 when I registered.

Ohh god I remember that tool! At 1st his trolling tactics were humorous but then it just got too far out of hand then it became an absolute nightmare. I hated logging in because you never knew what kind of new BS was created just a few hours later. I will be getting familiar with the ignore feature just in case that crap starts again. Or I'll just pack up my 12 years of history on this site and find a new home..... LOL

Hey welcome back! And more importantly, I want to say that I admire you for your honestly about your depression, and truly hope that this site and bowling can play some part in helping to resolve that. I've dealt with it myself and still do from time to time. Feel free to contact me if you'd like anytime.
On a lighter note...there is still some bickering here and there, but compared to 5 years ago, it's fantastic. Minimal at best. And a lot easier to avoid all the high school stuff. It doesn't seem to end up taking over every single post like it did then!
Again, welcome back!

I've never left,just mostly troll now.

Welcome back Mike. Your story and mine share the same parallels. Good to see another familiar name around.
-
Yeah I heard a lot of the people either left or just stopped posting. I'll be around for a while unless some kind of BS starts all over again. I searched a few people that I used to talk to all the time back then, my search came up with 95% of them no longer have a user name registered or they might have changed their user name.

4 posts in an hour Mike...seems you are vested. :)

I'm kind of a post whore but I only respond to posts that I feel like I can attribute something helpful or positive.
