Who Cares?

Faith No More cares a lot.

Also, who said the goal of the site is to improve one's game? It's more just to bring people together to discuss a similar interest. That and a way to provide content.

I could be wrong, it's early.

Absolutely! We here at Steamer Cue Sports Ltd., put customer satisfaction as our number one priority. If you are not 100% satisfied with any SCSI product just return the item in question. That's all, just return it and we'll forget the whole deal. Where else can you get service like that. From Schon? Jacoby? Gilbert? I think not.

What I like about this forum is that once you get the hang of things, and once other people get to know you, then this isn't a half bad place to hang out.
Most all the folks here are kind, considerate, and have a willingness to help. Others try to hide their insecurities by trying to be funny (ahem), but, generally the mood here is good.
What happens, a lot, is we sometimes run out of things to talk about. After all, there's only so much you can say about tips, LD shafts, and "This is my first day playing pool. How do I hold a cue?" When that happens we move on to more esoteric stuff like name calling, outing, and, "If I ever see you in public I'm going to kick your ass up between your shoulder blades and you'll have to pull up your shirt to shit!" That sort of stuff.
Remember too, it's mostly us boys left. The girls have gone. The pros have gone. Smorg has gone. Like Pogo Possum said. "We have met the enemy, and he is us." :smile:

What's funny about the "kick your ass" posts (just got oneadem from PeteyPoolDude in the "Why People Leave..." thread) is that they usually come from guys complaining about bullies. Talk about irony, lol.

Yep, you're right.
And, you know what, Lou? If somehow, by some kind of weird magic, we all found ourselves in the same room together (all forty-some thousand of us), we'd laugh, drink a few beers, and get along like old friends. :)
 
I disagree. This forum is about EVERYTHING pool. If it's discussing an aspect of the game whether it be equipment , it's history or knowledge to improve it belongs on this site.

With all the posts I've seen lately, I can understand why some people leave this forum. People have seem to forgotten that this is a game, some people make money with it, a living, and others it's just a hobby. Some people want to become masters, others have different goals: But it's still a game.

This game has a history and a culture that evolves with time. I have absolutely no care in the world for hearing about why such and suchs cue isn't a "real" sneaky Pete. Or how somebody didn't run a rack properly, or other bullshit ideology and billiard dogma.

There's so much clutter and meaningless debate on a site where the goal is to improve your game. Does it matter if my cue is an authentic sneaky? If not will that diminish my ability to play?

I realize I'm making a post parallel to the ones I hate most but I needed this out of my system. I'm done on this forum for a while. Hopefully this forum cleanses itself sometime soon.

To those guys who do try their hardest to actually help others improve, keep doing your thing.

I don't want to be talked out of going. I just needed to express my thoughts on what I've seen on AZB lately and I can't stomach being around negativity which I now consider these forums to be. I'm going because I've been seeing more trivial smegma lately.

Lately , what were you a lurker for 10 yrs before you joined ?
This site has not had much change if any since you joined infact it's quieted down a bit since JB left ,,
I don't know of any sport / game where the opinions are all the same
Iv seen knock down drag out fights over the big 3 sports ,dam near a riot at a boxing match on PPV
So I don't have any idea why you believe this site would be a regular Kumbayah

I doubt that, he is only like 19 years old. If you read his past posts, especially the threads he started (Like 20% of all his posts) you get kind of a handle on where he is coming from.

Here is his personal profile from AZ.

# About Zphix

Biography
Pool player, psychologist, motivational speaker, disc golfer, and martial artist. Currently rated as an "A" level player.
Location
Illinois/Green Bay
Interests
Pool, Psychology, Motivational Techniques, Self-Help, Teaching, Karate, and some gaming

Sounds like a lot of accomplishments of a 19 year old. He may be the only one on here who actually calls themselves an "A" player. Even real "A" players don't say that about themselves.

Considering you hate it here and you can't stomach us, you keep signing back in every few hours. Maybe OCD.
