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.

How much are we paying for it?  I like the look... but without dependable functionality it seems we are waisting our money.

It is so slow as to be unusable.  The links and tabs are difficult to find and follow.  Try finding any pertinant information via the "search" and its always a dud on returns.  We get pretty much daily complaints about it at the local association level.  Not only is there nothing we can tell our bowlers to fix it, but it just horrid.

I can just imagine how long this discussion forum would last if every negative post was removed and censored or if every post was held for moderation.

Ok I tried to get on the USBC Forums and I can not post.  They have my information because they require a member ID.  The Coaching Discussion forum had nothing except insert post.

Agreed. The new and improved www.bowl.com is a failure of EPIC proportions.  Considering that Pete Tredwell, who took ownership of the changes as VP of Media, went to the PBA message boards to converse and get ideas from bowlers there is even more proof of this failure.

Didn't Tredwell quit his own thread when he saw how USBC was being criticized over there?

Yep, he did, in fact, take his ball(s) and went home.

EagleHunter, could Tredwell's thread or anything like it ever happen in bowl.com? My guess would be that once negative comments started it would be deleted.
