ct690911:It has a pejorative meaning, but who are these people?
It's a term by those who have no clue, and want to only get sympathy from their posts.
I/e
Pretend poster: "My PW only went 80 yards"
Then say's "I don't want any of the forum rats to respond"....mercy...
So called Forum Rat: "What kind of wind did you hit with and spin did you use....did you ding it?"
Pretend poster "I said "no forum rats".
This is the type of post (er) that is eliciting a "Aw..me too man...happens all the time, WGT is effing us over:-response and doesn't want to hear from anyone who has real knowledge of the game, to offer some sound advice.
Then there's the posters that just create a topic like, oh, I dunno.....well, I think we all do, that will argue Red is Black, and if you don't agree with them, you are now a Forum Rat!.
Also staing "Forum rats need not respond"...
Which actually means "If you agree with me, post up, if you don't agree with me, don't post"...lol
Easy, huh?
Well this is how it pertains to some less than full minded folks on WGT, but in the real virtual world, it should relate to those with many posts in public forums....I/e the members who cruise the forums and try to add some humor to post, or reply with help, etc...in essence a real "Forum Rat" should not be a negative term, it should be someone who is active in posting in forum's.
