New forum subdivision
« on: March 11, 2005, 12:40:34 PM »
I propose a new subdivision of the Brunswick forum: Brunswick-Children, err, ... Brunswick-Nation.

This forum has gotten so petty and childish (not vindictive or nasty), I hesitate to read, no less post advice, suggestions or my own experiences with my Brunswick balls. I must say, I just don't understand.

Looks like I'll have to say it again..........It's because for a WHILE now, there has been a lot of Brunswick bashing.  Not specific references to bad posts, just saying everyone involved with brunswick is an idiot and child.

Great!

Ric leaving this site would be enough for me to follow suit.

BBE may be the ticket, what do you say Rico?

It doesn't matter.  Lefty Joe has been meaning to leave for a while, and Ric definitely won't come back after all that has happened (not just in the brunswick forum).  Who knows with nick.......

BrunsNIck,

Don't leave before you do the three cg test.

It has been threatened before and not done.

I really am dying to see your videos.

I feel it is kind of bad for someone to be chased away when someone comes up speaking negatively about something they believe in. If the "nation" was so strong then why the sudden downfall?

If you believe in something and enjoy yourselves, you shouldn't run away.


BTW---charlest, I agree, a comment such as the one you mentioned----very childish.




I do have a question....if someone has a target zone, does that put them in the nation? Just wondering, because I have sold about 50 of those to some old ladies this year and that is the only ball each of them own.

I'll talk to Ric Monday and see what we can do...

Maybe he'll be able to comp me 3 discos from a local distributor to perform the test on.

Nick, you better not leave. You are probably the biggest reason I bought my Absolute Inferno. Strictly speaking as a lurker here, you are one of the bright spots in what can be a sometimes dull site and I emphasize sometimes. And if I fell into some grand marketing plot, I guess coming out of it with a great ball makes me the winner doesn't it.

And good luck tomorrow!

To all who are considering leaving. Please do not let me, some stanger and newbie to this forum, tell you what to do, but my two cents follow.
I came here in mid february looking for a place to discuss bowling with like minded individuals who share my passion for this sport. I found that very place, and have since then posted several questions in several places on the site and have had helpful imput from many folks here in the brunswick forum, and elsewhere. This is my favorite wesite and the first page in my favorites list. I go here first every morning and at all hours of the night. I would be deeply disappointed to lose such a fantastic bowling resource, and more importantly the opportunity to make new friends who share my intrests. I have not met anyone who posts here, and I may never, but for the most part I am assured that if such a meeting were to occur I would not be disappointed with the experience. I am new here, so I am not privy to all the past problems with certain trolls, or the mounting frustration with what smoe belive to be childish posts, however I do not share this frustration. I try to take what I can from this forum, and although inexperienced I try to offer advise when asked. I suppose I didn't understand what I was doing when I wrote my signature, and I am sorry if I don't qualify for the nation. I was just trying to have a good time here, but this is not even close to being about me.

This is a whole other issue.  

This site and most of the people I have had correspondence with through the forum have been unbeliveably good to me. It would be a terrible shame to see such a great thing dissapear, due to what? WHO REALLY KNOWS? Maybe someone, but I sure don't.
I'll stick around if anone cares to know.
Thanks for reading.

OH MY GOD.  That is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.  You sir, are really getting on my nerves.  I can't believe you STILL care about that.  GET A LIFE.  That's right, I said it.  And it's damn true.  I can't believe you STILL f-in care about that whole debate.......Sad.  So what bulls--- excuse will you give when nick's video shows the stupid things don't change reaction?  Geez..........

And yes, to all, I know I just sounded like a raving lunatic and you'd be glad to see me leave, but this guy has really gotten severely annoying.  I bet you anything, a year from now he'll still be smugly saying "they matter because i think i've seen them matter" even if every company has even shown testing proving it wrong...........Geez.........

You were just WAITING to ask about that test again, weren't you....Geez, now i see why ric is leaving because of you and a few others.....

And yes, I know I'm gonna be flamed to hell for that since I'm the post whore troll and I dared to speak badly about the Almighty Luckylefty, but i can tell that nobody has ever dared to speak against him, as we saw in the CG post where everyone (except T-GOD) was ready to call it a "truce" and say "let everyone do what they want if it works for them", but he kept insisting on keep going and making the SAME points over and over.......I figured its time someone actually dared to say anything against him, and if you decide to shun me for it, I don't care at all.  After all, there's nothing more dangerous than someone who has nothing to lose anymore....

That, Mr. Jack...is what us normal people call fun. Now yes, I do admit the whole thing got bigger and more out of hand then intended, but what the hell man? ITS FUN! When I think about you, I think of some middle aged guy sitting miserably at his computer just waiting for life to pass him by...DO SOMETHING! Live a little! Have fun! I think if people would just stop posting the randomness, the nation could live. Or...at least would have been able to. I dont think andy is going to be coming back very often. I'm still not sure about me yet. I mean, MANY of the best posters have traveled to BBE and allbowling so I could get just as much good info over there.
