ole gray Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I can't believe I have over 500 posts. I'm usually a lurker on most forums, I don't know what's come over me. I've been a member of another well known golf forum since 2006 and only recently cracked the 100 post mark there. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk It's because you're home now. There is NO golf forum on the internet that feels like MGS. It's like smooth cream in a hot cup of coffee.

tommc23 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 You can say that again. Even in the 1%, there's a lot of spam, senseless 3 word replies. It's about quality, not quantity.I agree lots of posts are welcome to the forum also. I know until recently I never welcomed anyone now I try to welcome everyone. I feel like sometimes it's almost like a contest to get to a certain number of posts. I don't post on every topic I only post when I feel like I have something to contribute something useful. Even then sometimes I just contribute a smartalec comment to break tension if there is any. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreLooper Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Pro tip. I use this every time when looking for a topic. Google: MyGolfSpy “topic†And I usually find what I'm looking for, and even some things I'm not, but they are still interesting. Yep. No forum search engine is going to be as good as Google. Pro tip 2: If you want to be certain you get results only from MGS, search for site:mygolfspy.com topic Google will not return results from any other site that might have a page mentioning MyGolfSpy and your topic. This will return results from all of MGS (blog and forum). Pro tip 3: If you want to be certain you get results only from the MGS forum, search for site:forum.mygolfspy.com topic From your resident IT nerd...

Their contribution is invaluable. They read our stuff and have real friends that they share stuff from MGS with. Thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Agree wholeheartedly. Thise who contribute regularly are only one part of the success of MGS. Without forum "traffic" there would be less incentive for manufacturers and advertisers to support MGS, readers are necessary for the success of the place. If every reader felt the need to post all the time, it would get difficult to still get the information that makes this forum different to most.

Love this site, all the contributors, and the great staff of MGS Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Well said (and concur). I find the comments here especially on golf technique invaluable and motivate this high handicapper to do better. Occasionally I offer comments on technique or clubs but most times I defer to the experts. I do better on the social commentaries and most of my posts are in those areas.
