golfrewind.com

I have been out of town for a week, hence the big slow down in posts!!!

There's always that "other site".

A lot of us got banned for spam when this site came back up. My ban ended last night, theres no telling if ithers will even come back.

Brother, you're welcome here anytime...so long as you don't break board rules...you know the rules, right?

17k+ members, there should be more action.. but I'm sure it'll pick up since it's golf season now

yeah, GR is dead.

That's why I post 10x more here than the other golf forum I visit.

The rumors of [GRs] death have been greatly exaggerated.

Now that the season has started more people will be playing rather than talking about golf. ( i hope)

17000 members. WOW! Where is everybody?

That number is misleading. That number represents everyone that has ever successfully registered at Golf Rewind and has remained a member, active or not. This includes spammers who register here daily - at least 20 per day. For some time now I have been manually deleting spammers because our awol owner, the only one with the ability to do so, has neglected to place safeguards to prevent their registration...so the total number of members will rise and fall daily with the influx of spammers and their subsequent deletion. I have not always been an administrator and admin's are the only one's that can delete a member...so there are spammers still registered here from years back that never got deleted and represent a part of the total number. The total number also represents all members, active or not, that have registered and remained members here...this dates all the way back to 2004...many have opted to move on and not be active here any more but remain legitimate, registered members, albeit inactive...some leave for a while, sometimes a long while, and opt to return later on. So the significant number is how many active members (readers included, not just posters) we have. I honestly don't know what that number is but I can say this...our active membership rises and falls as people come and go...the "personality" of the board will morph over time, as well, as the dynamic between members will shift in some cases, solidify in others...there have been many friendships begun and maintained here , as well as feuds, wars, enemies and hate relationships. So the "tone" here will not always be the same. I'm personally grateful for the current bunch of active members here who respect the board and the game and make this place a lively forum...not the liveliest, I'm sure...it's a free world (mostly) on the internet and anyone's free to leave out of boredom - no harm or shame in that...but complaining about it without doing something about it smacks of a sense of entitlement, attention deficit or something of the like. I personally view boredom as a character flaw...I've had enough experiences in my lifetime that I can entertain myself for hours reflecting on them without any novel sensory input whatsoever, but that's just me. One other thing to keep in mind when considering the activity, or lack of it, here at GR...most people have jobs to tend to and some even have lives to live outside the new idiot box (that's what I call the computer...the old idiot box was the tv - still a contender)...GR (or any discussion board, imo) was never meant to be a place to live - just a place to visit. I enjoy my visits here and then I go about living my life...read my sig.

Again, thank you to the members that appreciate GR for what it is and continue to make it so.

Must be nice not knowing if the site is even going to be here another day

Like you don't whine and complain

So far the owner has been consistent in taking long 'vacations' and in keeping the site open (for about 4 years now). So we will continue to hope for the best!

Wow . Someday he could not pay the bill ever again and then what ?

I would want more stability

In that case I recommend Internal Revenue Service (www.irs.gov).
