Doesn't T GOD = kotm (king of the mill)?
I left the bowling business in 2009 and took off 5 years. I would lurk here from time to time even during my time away from bowling. It's crazy that this March 30, will mark my 16th year on ballreviews. That's actually right around the time I first started bowling at 16-17.
There was a really bad period on this website years ago when anyone who had a great wealth of knowledge to share, or would answer people's questions with expert insight the trolls and misinformed would argue back and forth with the experts to the point that a lot of good members left.
Throw in the political mess from the Miscellaneous - Non Bowling Related forum and you drove away another half of the community, who political views aside were here for one reason..... to learn more about a game they like/love. The fights there spilled over to the point that no one respected each other's views on bowling itself. Lots of great people left this place, but bowling's home is on social media for the true growth of the sport. This site is a great resource though for equipment.
This is why we can't have nice things.
