Mo Pinel banned from BBE...
« on: January 16, 2010, 02:25:46 PM »
This has been discussed in another thread here at BR.com.

I feel the need to share my take on it as well -

I have posted 3 times to BBE and recently paid more attention to the site since I had seen that Mo was posting there.

I believe he felt it was a "safe" forum where the moderators would keep the forum threads civil and a place he could reach out and educate independent bowlers, pro shop operators, and anyone willing to read what he was posting.

It would seem that Mo was banned simply for "violating" the terms of service at BBE.  Those terms apparently don't apply to everyone that is a member of that site.

I will likely spend a lot less time there now that Mo is no longer able to share technologically/scientifically accurate information there.

I'm not going to get into it... I don't know the facts behind the situation.

I just felt like sharing how I felt about it.

Guys,

 I don't even have an account there, but have heard MANY times that it is nothing more than a glorified fan site for lane1 users. I've lurked there a couple of times, and from what I've seen, it would be easy to believe.

  If this is the truth, it doesn't surprise me that Mo would get banned for disagreeing with Richie. Richie IS lane1 super-wonk owner, creator and designer of the great lane1 equipment they seem to value so highly, and a somewhat sponsor of that site, making donations of time, money, and equipment, while Mo only shared his knowledge.

 Hmmmmm, knowledge VS money and goodies. Looks like money and goodies wins.

Why doesn't ball reviews make a home for him here?  Have his own forum where only he can post.. and then another with questions and discussions about his postings... then he can reply to what he feels worthy in his own section and it won't be filled with extraneous posts and arguments.

They should invite all the techs from each manufacturer and give them their own section.

Eric started a Tech Corner and purduepaul is posting there.  Moderated site with no axe to grind as far sponsors and ball sales.  

As far as Mo getting run....the only reason I signed up on BBE about 2 weeks ago was that Mo was posting on that site.

 If Mo wanted to post here, I'm sure he would. But the techs from each company having their own place here isn't a bad idea, if we could interest them in being here.

 Create their own place within the individual companies page where they could post or reply to questions posted there.

Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but I don''t think that will ever happen here.

If anyone has a facebook account, MoRich does have a page there.  That was where they introduced the Mania.

Thanks Scott, we're not associated with any company, this gives us leverage in offering services to anyone.

We have many tools on the website that would be attractive to industry techs.
The most I can say right now is stay tuned.
