Jeff Carter is technically exempt although not bowling this year due to injury. He'll bowl next year. He posts quite a lot.

Chris Johnson, who used to be exempt, has posted here. I've heard Eric Forkel does or did at one time but I've never run into him here that I know of.

I'm not aware of any others, but other posters might know. If there are a lot of exempt players that post here, most must do it under aliases. I hate that; I wish more would join up. We're a much more fun crowd here than the PBA.com forums.

But no moderation <unlike PBA> so I doubt many tour players want to see that kind of interaction with no moderation.

PBA.com isn't the first thing I think about when I think about "moderation." If PBA.com considers itself "moderated," then they've got a different definition of the word than I do.

There are two guys on that site who probably have 20 usernames apiece and attack players unmercifully. Only once every few weeks do any of those usernames ever get turned off. They show up an hour later with one of their other usernames, and I've seen one of them blatantly say, "My username xxxxxxx just got banned, but I'm back."

I'm a site administrator for a college football forum that gets probably 20-100 times the traffic of PBA.com and we ban more people in a week than PBA.com does in a year.

As long as you stay off the Miscellaneous-Non Bowling forum here, you don't have much to worry about.

I am sure Mike would not care who knows his username.. He was selling balls on here last year.. I emailed him back and forth for quite some time as his wife was pregnant with thier first child and my wife had just delivered our first child..

David Leverage, who is also outside the cut line at the moment, has posted some reviews. I just found one by accident while looking for something else. I have no idea whether he's posted recently, though (review was from 2002/03).

At least they try Jess.

Here's another great thread of bashing.  Has this been discussed enough?  http://www.ballreviews.com/Forum/Replies.asp?TopicID=188157&ForumID=92&CategoryID=5

I'd think most tour players don't want the grief as to why they don't post or don't have the time.  

Jess--How many great college players post on your college football forum?  What's the URL?  Like to see it.

Mike Wolfe is 2810 king (pretty sure).  He has sold alot of equipment on here.

A half ten is not a great shot.  No, you shouldn't have carried it.

Jess, i'm sure there's a few on here that don't let it be known.  I know Tim Mack was on here at one time but can't remember his user name.  This was a few years ago.

I post outside the classifieds here RARELY. Thats the only reason I use this site, to buy/sell/trade equipment. Its either the classifieds or the Beginners Board, trying to help the beginner bowlers with some problems they are having.

This is the first time I have gone outside the classifieds/beginners board in quite some time. This site is pretty much a joke, except for the classifieds section.

Yeah a real class act Mr. Authority is.  One of the problems with bowling in a nutshell.  Just one but it is a big one!

You'll be hard pressed to find a forum anywhere for any kind of sport that isn't full of people who don't know when to shut their mouth.  The Internet brings out the idiot in people.
