...Unless this place starts doing something about these anonymous shit stirrers ALL the "real" pool people will continue to migrate to Facebook which already has way more pool discussion and information....
I agree with you, Ray. Aside from the topic of this thread, the entire Mosconi Cup colloquy on AzBIlliards this year was disappointing, for lack of a better word. I could think of a few better descriptive adjectives, but "disappointing" is putting it nicely.
Interestingly, my daughter tells me that now Facebook is old-fashioned, that nobody uses that anymore. Heck, I just got started on it, but according to her, in this age of technological advances, most people text and prefer the immediate gratification of the newer technologies, like Instagram and some I've never heard of. In fact, according to her, Facebook is more of a vehicle for people who are looking for attention, the "look at me" mentality.
On the one hand, I do enjoy networking with other like-minded pool people, but the forum experience, for me at least, is not quite as rich as it used to be, mainly because of the "shit stirrers," as you put it, or the multiple-identitied trolls and banned members posting, as I put it. :grin-square:
That said, there are a few golden pool nuggets dropped on AzBilliards Discussion Forum from time to time, so I keep coming back to gobble them up. Sometimes I do read new threads that have been discussed a dozen or more times since I've been a member. In this regard, I realize that newbies or new members may not use the search button as often as I do and probably are looking more to engage in a fun back-and-forth, and that's okay. But it does get tiresome reading all these "who's the best" threads over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. :embarrassed2:
