Just curious what the general population here subscribes to outside of this great community.

 

For myself, this is the only forum I'm a member of but I browse the heck out of imgur. Forgive me if I use sayings from that site that no one else gets.

 

I give MGS a perfect 5/7 rating

Previously on WRX and THP

 

Now I only go on THP to keep track of the local guys I play with. And WRX only now and then, but it's usually just a quick peek in and out.

 

Much prefer to spend time on MGS where everyone's input is valued and done so in a very friendly and welcoming manner.

I used to be on WRX for a couple weeks, but not any longer. I'm on THP maybe a couple times a week. I'm on here every hour.

 

This is the best community, hands down. I feel more connected with everyone here.

I was on THP for years until I found my soul mate in MGS. You will know when you have found your true home and I'm here to stay. MGS is second to none and you'll find no better place to hang your hat.

I've been on WRX for a long time, but I don't really post. I follow the local Chicago thread a little and look at equipment there. I'm involved on THP as well. Lots of good folks there. And then of course MGS. Really like the atmosphere around here.

I have many good friends over there (THP) who have become life time friends.  That's the good thing about these forums, you really become family.

Probably talk to these folks more than real life family too haha!

 

These common interests really bring people together. Golf is one of those topics that can never be exhausted because the game is always changing.

You'd think a person would be paranoid about traveling to an event to meet a bunch of strangers however it's led to some strong relationships for me.   I would encourage any of our members (MGS) to reach out and get a few rounds of golf in with those in your area.  You will not be sorry.

I am a WRX member but never was able to get any type of conversations or friendships going, might be me and not them, I don't know.  

 

I am also a THP member, I was fairly active for years and met many awesome folks there, many are on MGS now.  One of the first folks I met there was my brother from another ole gray!  I still look in over there maybe once a month to read up on what some of my friends there are up to.  

 

I am also active on a few Georgia Bulldog sites, surprise huh?  

 

MGS is my golf site of choice, and I imagine it will be for the rest of my life.  I like the community and feel very welcome and appreciated as a member here.

You nailed it on the feeling welcome part. And it's done in a very sincere way.

i browse other golf forums (GEA, WRX, THP, PutterTalk) outside of MGS.  I post and participate primarily on MGS.  

 

I find that each forum has small things that i find interesting that isn't covered on the other forums.  

 

For example.  

GEA - Not sure why I go here anymore,  very little that I actually read. 

WRX - Tour Event/Bag photos, Tour talk, and putter section.  Mostly read,  will post in an occasional thread.

THP - Occasional good thread,  mostly just read the thread title and move on. Feel like you have to be part of the in crowd to really get any engagement and they don't seem to like opinions that differ for those in the in group.  Have a DMV focused thread.

Puttertalk - I love putters since 99% of the talk is about putters I go here.  Also the home forum for my putitng instructor.

MGS- Just good golf related topics.   I don't personally like to share lots of personal details,  I just want to talk about everything golf.  Obviously best place for equipment reviews that aren't biased by manufacturers.   Feel like my opinion is valued.

THP... Feel like you have to be part of the in crowd to really get any engagement and they don't seem to like opinions that differ for those in the in group.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I used to participate there quite often months ago, but I feel like if you aren't one of the regulars, you don't really get much interaction.

Definitely looking forward to it and hope we both have our test items. But either way it'll be a great time.

Oh believe me you're not. Its becoming more common than they want to realize. Not to keep harping but maybe I am. You don't have members with over 100,000 post combined (dawg daddy, ole gray and me) leave for just no reason.

 

But the silver lining is we all found MGS on our own I might add. And so very thankful for the great community of members and staff here.

Yeah, that's crazy. In my opinion, MGS is so much more welcoming. I'm glad I'm a part of this community, and plan on being here for as long as they allow. Haha.
