How has BBW affected you in a negative/positive way?

[Roaming]

For me its like;positive:my general basketball iq has doubledI can talk basketball much clearer and informed nownegative:takes time away from school and other dutiesgotta get out sometime how about you?

 

[LAZY]

Positive:Bitching at WaqasNegative:Bitching at Waqas

 

[Memphology]

positive:Ive gotten tons better on my photoshop due to Pinoyballa, he dont even know it though

Negatives:Some of my homeys at FBB dont like it...

 

[ASUFan22]

I have learned more about basketball.With this place and FPM I'm an ultimate sports/comp nerd that's fat.

 

[yankshater213]

positive: look at basketball more objectively rather than one dimensionallynegative: none really since I only really post on here in my free time. posting hasnt affected my personal life at all so I dont think its negative.. yet...

 

[nba dogmatist]

the negative is definitely time consuming, but I like it here, obviously. I guess the positive is entertainment to me.

 

[Fabolous]

theres only negatives. Im gaining weight and im outta shape.

 

[pjcolpitts?]

It has broadened by knowledge of basketball. Since we all only get local games, it helps me learn about other teams that I dont see but only 5 times a year or so. It also gives me something to do in my free time. Nothing really negative.

well probably not that extreme.

 

[ballerman2112]

Well, I have learned more about the game just due to the fact that I talk about it so much. I have a place to go to when I am bored which I think is definitely a good thing. As for the negatives...I think the fact that I feel obligated to post alot. Maybe its just because im a VIP and I feel like I should post alot...who knows. Im not saying I dont like posting alot, but it definitely takes up alot of my time.

Positive:It's my favorite thing to do in my free time, I LOVE coming here and talking about basketball. None of my friends care about the NBA like I do so to be able to come here is exciting.Negative:It's time consuming, I have blew my friends off in the past to post here. When me and my friends go out I find myself using my cell phone to post here.

The positives for me since I've been a member and BBW is I have learn way more about basketball and also how to express my opinions and things to that nature, also I think my posting has improvedthe negative is that sometimes I forgot to do my homework.

Negatives: Getting into stupid arguments/debates that you look back and realized you wasted your time.

[Dmoney]

LOL I don't think you should ever blow off your friends for BBW, I mean this site is great and all but it's most more fun to hang with friends and stuff.

 

[BALLAHOLLIC]

I don't mean I blew them off that bad, Like they would call me when their driving around and want to pick me up to go eat or something. I just let them know I dont feel like going.

 

[Dmoney]

Oh, true I know what you mean and I know you have a social life, but I mean for people who actually would rather be on here all day then hang with their friends or something along those lines.

Only when we hang out for a quick amount of time to go eat or something.I also post when my friends are here, We have alot of 2K7 tournaments and when I'm waiting for my game to come up I chill on here.

 

[Pistonfan11]

Well BBW is a positive thing because it is one of the only basketball forums where the mods and admin aren't complete assholes, and the basketball talk is for the most part very knowledgeable.

They know a lot about basketball and most of them are Lakers' fans (go figure... I live in Mo Val, California) and when they read some message from someone dissing Kobe, they tell me to respond... :no3: I never do, though.</span>

BBW is only a negative because I'm here too much and putting other things off. BBW is ruining my life.
