Times Have Changed
Does anyone else agree that player's attitude has changed around here? I have just watched 2 different games with 700+ rated players in 8-ball. Not one good word between them. There's no sportsmanship anywhere, well there's very little and it's hard to find.

Snooker is just as bad. It used to be that players conceded when the game was over but no one will concede today. They will tap into a position where you can't pot just to annoy you. I've noticed this more today and it seems, to me, that the higher rated players are young, I'd say 16 and/or younger. Anyone else think that it's that age ground that seems to run this place? 2 years ago, all the best players were older and mature.
 Never rude unless im provoked. But most of the time they agree bo3 then run & then play someone else. So it isnt they HAD to leave.
It's not needed. If someone wants to play a best of 3 with you then they will play. You will moan just as much if they decided to play one game and you were losing. 'Oh why didn't you choose a best of three? Scared of me?' I've heard it all before. It's not fair if someone decides to play best of 3 but HAS to leave after the first game. Why should he lose out?

So people stay when you win but leave when you lose? Could it be that when your losing your rude? And this may seem like a strange suggestion for people when leave when you lose: DON'T LOSE! All your doing is coming across as a bad loser. 
 bo3 button desperately needed too. Played 7 players today and won the first game twice which both ended 2-1 & lost 5 times after which EVERY player ran.
There are too many people who whine when they lose.

What does 
flucky sevti player
 mean? That's what hannes40 called me. :|
I've been here for quite a while now and it seems like its always been this way. The only reason it goes on is because it's the internet. In real life some the punks on here would have had the crap kicked out of them by now. On the internet you can say and do whatever with no real consequences. The sad thing is that it may, in the long run, affect the way these kids deal with people in real life. They may learn some hard lessons that way. ;)
>all i know is first time i saw you write on this forum u called me an idiot for no reason

You might not been here long but I have been and I've heard stupid comments like yours all the time. Even if one of my mates had said it, I'd have called them an idiot. Personally, I think you should get over it. For someone who claims to be 18, you have a hard time in letting go the smallest things. AND, if you don't like me, do the 'mature' thing and ignore me and what I say. 
yes i totally agree. 

This is why i have decided to quit this game officially. Most people know me as 'stickyfingaz', but that name has been permanently banned because i called a player garbage after he exchanged words with me. I deserve to be temporairly banned but being permanently banned is what topped it off for me. All the new players here are obsessed with pts and have a dozen names each. The game still offers lots of fun because clearly the physics of the game are amazing, but the players now have too much time on their hands and this takes away all the fun and SOME of the mods are byist. They will believe anyone even if theyre exxagerating. This is what i figured happened when i got banned. So peace to all the chillin people on this site u know who u are. And to all you people who are sore losers; basically everyone Juan is talking about... u can continue to ruin this site.
Hello wizard,we played the other day, and I understand where ya comin from, i myself am only 14 years old but i've been in the top 5 players at points,and most people on here disregard the sportsmanship part and just focus on points,i think i do an ok job, but you can tell me :p.
and wiazrd know if they tap and and wont concede call a mod it works every time then they temp bann..justice prevails 
totally agree with you wizard. i cant even get a tidy response of some ideots in forum take a look at my topics and have a look how lame and childish this guy called _pool chimp_
Hallo Wizard,

I am glad you brought up this issue to every one's notice, as I fully agree with you.

It seems like that there are only a few fair players left on fod, including me.

99% of players keep on annoying, keep on provoking and keep on abusing, and are shameless. Times have changed, no doubt.

I am 39 years old.

I wish all would be like you and me, fair and honest.
o do be quiet euan i think u are living in a world of roses and fairies... quite frankly i agree with you on this one tho :( but i wasnt here in the "good old days" so i wouldnt know how friendly everyone was... all i know is first time i saw you write on this forum u called me an idiot for no reason

friendly eh
I know what you mean,it seems its, 'ffs' and 'pmsl' after most opponents shots, sometimes even when it goes in! I prefered the game much more when I was low rated years ago, and it was a really big achievement to go up a ball, and everyone was friendly.
yea i agree, its mainly the really high and really low rated players that seem to b goin "spastic" when they lose andpost in the main chat bout them running. but i wuldnt say its so true bout all the young ppl bein rude. some of us are gd:D:)
although i wasnt on here 2years ago i agree with what you sayin . im not a bad but not a good player either but i tend to find the higher you get in rating the more personal some players seem to take it if you beat them . im not saying this of all players on high ratings but a vast percentage can be very rude and unsportsmanlike if things aint goin their way
