How did you find us? We are pretty small and obscure, so bumping into us is not totally easy :)
I looked up Top Tennis forums and this forum was listed. What caught my eye about this forum is that it stated it had 30 posts per day on average while most of them had less other than Talk Tennis Warehouse which had the same amount 30 posts on average per day, but they talked a lot about tennis equipment. So I chose this forum.

We have more than 30 posts per day.
Other tennis forums have way more than 30 posts per day.
Talk Tennis (Warehouse) has way, way, way more than 30 posts per day.

I am going to end this right here. I read several posts back that there has been Spam Bot attacks on this site and I AM NOT ONE OF THEM!!!! I do not appreciate the "Here we go again" comments when you have no clue who I am. I provided the link that I explained to the other member how I came upon this site and you seemed to have thought with your comment that was a bunch of B.S. . Well it was not. As you can see that is exactly what the link said. I also am going to provide a photo of myself with a sign with this forums name on it and that I am a human and my username to prove to you that you should not have made an assumption like you did without even giving me a chance to post even 3 posts on here. I hope this proves to you and to whoever else on here might think I was a Spam Bot. As you can see the letters on the sign are backwards because I took the photo myself. I think you can all read it.

Thank You, Scott(Scoob)

Photo taken down per request of administrator(ponchi101): It has been revealed I am not a Spam Bot and am real.

Welcome Scoob, don't be too offended, we've had some bot issues lately.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. Not sure why the photo is not loading any longer. I will post it again and see if it works. Like I said in the other post I took the photo, so the paper with the forum name, and my username, and I am Real is backwards.

Everyone who has wanted to see the photo has seen it by now and it was recommended to take it down by the administrator so I am doing so. I hope that I proved that assuming too early when someone has not even posted 3 posts yet is not the way to go about handling these sorts of things. It makes things turn ugly and makes people look rather stupid as well when they are wrong. In the future, I suggest just letting the adminstrator and moderators handle any suspected spam bots and if anyone else feels there is one report them to those members who hold those jobs on here to handle it. That is why they are here on the forum.

Now I just want to talk about tennis.

:lol: I don't know if the writing backwards is more of a talent or not knowing how to take a photo where I am holding something with words on it shows up the correct way is less of a talent. :lol:

When I couldn't figure out how to take the photo and make the sign the correct way, I was almost about ready to attempt to right the words backwards and than said the hell with it. :lol: I think you all can get the picture.
