When you have Brad and Kyle, Belmo, Darren Tang, Luke Rosdahl, Brunsnick, and others all having their own YT channels for posting reviews and "vlogs"; it has been more entertaining than coming on here and having the Juan Fonseca's of the world come on here and litter the "review" section with copy and paste of the literature as MJS mentioned. On top of that; years of people coming on here and being argumentative for the sake of trying to make people feel stupid has pushed away many of the regulars that used to come on here. Charlest was a big contributor and always enjoyed reading what he had to say and he has all but disappeared. Now you have this guy that posts new topics to where the wording makes you wonder if you can take the guy seriously. One topic is "What can I do to build strength to throw 16 pounds" and the next one is "Saw some 12 pounders in eBay I am considering" . Then when you call him out on it, he reports you and has your post deleted. I wasnt even nasty about it. I just questioned him and he reported me. I have been on here since the early 2000s myself and still come on here first thing every morning just to see if there is anything serious worth commenting on. This topic alone shows "read 1088 times"; yet only 6 responses. Kind of tells you everything you need to know about the state of this site. But I am about to turn 52 and yet still come on here simply because I am a bowling nerd and just always curious to what I am going to see when I log in.That’s another one. What can I use instead of a ball spinner? What can I do I do about being tired? How can I make a 16# all lighter? How can I make a 12# ball heavier? How does anyone take these posts seriously? Does anyone make One Hour Energy that I can mix with Five Hour Energy when I only need energy for three hours?
