AZ is by far the best out there. I do however visit another forum, matchroomsport has their own forum as I'm sure some you are aware (Mikko, Berry) It's great for keeping up to date with the international scene in Europe and Asia as it boasts a large filipino and European contingent, it's useless for instructional and mechanical type threads.
every time i try to join easy pool tutor.......the main page looks garbled, like 1/2 of it overlaps another 1/2.....and i fill out the questions i see and hit enter and it tells me to go back and fill in missing questions, but they arent therepapi said:
I like this one, and also like http://www.billiards-pool.net as the advice one finds there on pool matters is top notch, IMHO.
Best,

I am on AZ right now so that means I like it. Even though I like a lot of other boards including those mentioned,and do spent time on other ones, your statement felt like you were almost 'pimping' that board,giving not only the actual url but the implications of your statement, instead of just responding to the poster,saying BPN or CCB,etc.
The original question was probably sincere, but everyone knows what CCB, BPN, RSB etc are, but to get on AZ and try to pull posters away from AZ and onto BPN, is not very ethical , IMO. If this was not your intent and you are just some kind of 'innocent' and I misread you, I apologize
Got kind of busy, so have been sporadic on any of them, anyway. But then one thing i got busy at is playing more pool so guess that is ok.

strikeout said:I used to go there(BPN) and CCB and AZ a lot more than I do now.Honestly, I liked each for different reasons. Then during the election, I spent some time on CCB non pool forum where it was getting pretty heated up. LOL. But other than that, sometimes I will realize I have not been on a forum for weeks. But then one thing i got busy at is playing more pool so guess that is ok.
what is the address to ccb?

Pimping, huh?? Wow, that's a strong word to use in this context. If you do a search for my relatively few posts on AZ, you'll find that some time ago I had some kind words for FL, to which you might take exception. It's rather odd that while I post from time to time on BPN and have received some very good, if not excellent, advice not only from FL but the other posters there, I've never been subjected to anything but polite comment, even when I've clearly disagreed with FL. I guess it has to do with the way one approaches the issues and states one's positions on them.
As for the idea that providing a URL to the site, as other posters have done for other sites up above, somehow indicates an intention to lure people away from here, is simply without foundation. If someone goes to BPN and finds it to be helpful, as I certainly have, what's the harm??
In one of my earlier posts on AZ, I mentioned that I'd probably not be posting too often on here, that I'm not interested in flame wars and so on. So let's just keep the peace, ok?
Cheers!

Lemme axe you a question...does you drive aroun' in a big Cadillac with white sidewall tires, wire spoke hubcaps, gold trim, and a hood ornament of Earl on the front? And does you wear a big wide brim hat with a psychodelic band around it wif a feather sticking up? I think I saw your car parked outside a pool room the other day...stay out of my territory you muva!

My o my... Drivermaker, whoever you are, I'm not interested in your banter. You can make threats and apparently get away with it here, so I'm outa here... Not coming back... In my view, this chatboard just ceased to be a relatively friendly place. I hope the administrators of AZbilliards read this, as from now on I'll not mention this site to friends, and will, if asked, tell them my opinion of it.
Having reread Drivermaker's post trashing me for no good reason, making baseless accusations, and threatening me like this, I'll not post any further on here, and won't hesitate to tell anybody I meet in pool rooms or wherever that this is a website that unfortunately it is best to avoid posting on. Posts like Drivermaker's have opened my eyes to the reality of what others before me have said about posting on these forums. Is it an option for me just to ignore Drivermaker? Of course it is, but I don't want to be around this kind of thing. Life is too short...
I wish you all well.
Flex

Hey Flex...you better get off of those steroids dude, they're making you WAY to aggressive and hostile. Your sense of humor is about as fresh and alive as a three day old pile of dog shit. Wake up and smelll the roses to clear out your nostrils, and then spend the rest of this weekend watching the comedy channel on TV to get some levity. If you can't spot jerkin' around humor from threats, you need some big time help! Remember...it was YOU that was referred to as a pimp, I just played off on it. Now...go do 10 sets of 6 reps of front squats with 350 as your punishment!

Hi Flex. Ya i jump around a lot now. I mostly go to CCB because i know all the regulars and value thier oppinions. But there is something to be said for visiting around too. Like if it happens to be a slow day on one forum and a thread that you have a lot of interest in is just not going anywhere, or gets hijacked or sidetracked you can simply ask it somewhere else. I see a lot of this going on. You see the same title and poster on 2 or more forums. You end up with much more feedback.
Also, this is much like a pool room. You get to know all the regulars, give and take some, and enjoy the comradery. But why stay stuck in the same room? From time to time it's nice to play in a different place just for the change of scenery. Everyone has something to give, it's prudent (if your serious) to NOT invest all your time with the same bunch. Variety is the spice of life! St
Damn Flex. It was a joke. I didn't really think he was calling you out.
Sorry that you won't be coming around anymore.

It was actually a self-depracating joke whereby I (me, myself, moi, thine) was the butt end of the joke. When I said "not to come into my territory" it should have led anyone with an iota of smarts to see that I was turning MYSELF into a pimp and he was where he didn't belong...on my turf. Is flex really that much of a dumb "musclehead"?
Although, I think Mike knows something that we don't know...like the true identity of a probable alias.

In this thread,you know exactly what i referred to, and clearly stated, yet you took my words out of context implying it was the posting of the url alone. I don't suppose it ever crossed your mind that BPN is just fine like it is and it does not need ur anctics.
Oh, you have POSTED on BPN and gotten good advice from FL and others? What a hoot. There are some real posters on BPN but you are not one of them, no matter what you may call yourself there. FL has extensive compiled 'teachings' on there, but Flex is a fraud on AZ..
And yes I did read your posts, thinly veiled as who you are not, the content and lies about your time in the game...reveals you as a phony.
u have been zapped
