MyGolfSpy Forum: 10th Anniversary Celebration!

[GolfSpy MPR]

Huge Forum News: We're 10!!!!

As we were working on a recent project for the forums, we started poking around in the archives and stumbled on a really cool truth: the forum launched 10 years ago!

There are some initial test posts from January and February, but forum kicked off in a big way at the end of February/beginning of March 2010. So we started compiling some of the history of the forum, including talking with some of our longtime forum legends. We pieced the story together and today, it's featured on the MyGolfSpy blog: https://mygolfspy.com/the-mygolfspy-community-forum-celebrates-10-years-of-golf-talk/

In conjunction with the 10th Anniversary Celebration, we've just launched a dedicated Twitter account for the Forum Community: https://twitter.com/ForumMyGolfSpy. If you're a SM user, go give us a follow.

And go read the story and keep an eye on the forum in the next few days: we have some celebrating to do, and you're not going to want to miss it!

Very cool to see how much this forum has changed. 

I hope the forum continues to evolve into a place where people share ideas but also learn from one another. There's so much bad/outdated information in the golf equipment world and it's important that everyone can learn and grow together 

[StrokerAce]

An honor and privilege to be here with you all...you teach me, entertain me and remind me that golf is just a game and games are meant to be fun.

Thanks for your honesty, friendliness and cordial and polite conversation.

Here's to the next 10 years.

I was thrilled to find this forum about 4 years ago and even more thrilled when selected to be part of the Moderation team 2 years ago.   It's been great reading about some of the early history of the forum and the above piece posted on the home page is a fantastic read, do yourself a favor and don't skip it. 

I'll be fortunate to get to play a round of golf with two of those legendary early members  RevKev and Foz and I'm sure it'll be a great time.

Happy Birthday MGS. Thanks for being a kind retreat where I can learn from some great people.

Very cool!

Been happy to be a part of the forum for the last number of years and look forward to seeing what more happens in the years to follow!

Congrats and onto year 11 where I'm sure there are more big things to come!

[dlow206]

Congrats! I am a newer member and am glad to be a part of the forum and community.

This makes me feel old

 

Also great article, it's awesome to see the main accounts giving the forum some love and well done on the writing guys!

Congratulations on 10 years MGS!

I've learned a ton, had a ton of laughs and enjoyed my few years here.

I look forward  to 10 more years.

[silver & black]

I've been here for 7 of those 10 years. This is golf home for me. Outstanding group of members here... and MGS staff does a great job. Keep evolving and bringing the truth!

[Tsecor]

wish I was here much earlier. These are hands down the best forums around.

[GB13]

I’ve throughly enjoyed my two years here, and I love delving into the archives and reading old threads. This is absolutely the best forum with the best members. I can’t wait for many more good years with y’all to come! Congrats MGS!

[Kenny B]

This is a great site to discuss anything golf, and the people here are truly my friends as much as the one's I see every day.  I feel like I know most of you, even though I have only met a few face-to-face.  

MyGolfSpy has done a great job running this forum, and I hope it continues for many, many years.  Happy Anniversary!!

Happy 10th Anniversary MGS Forums! I've only been around since late 2016, but it's cool to see how the forum has grown since then. From the testing and data side to the forums, MGS is my go to spot for all things golf!

Nice congrats

I joined in Feb 2013. Man that was a while ago. 

[MattF]

I can't believe I joined 1 year after the forums kicked off...has it really been 9 years?

BTW, who are those two handsome looking fellas?

Handsome is used loosely.

Congrats on 10 years!!  This forum has given me so much knowledge and opportunities that I never would have gained on my own.  It's truly an honor to be a member of this forum!  Keep up the great work everyone! 

[THEZIPR23]

Congrats on 10 years! I enjoy being a part of it and learning about all things golf in the process.

The staff drops knowledge bombs all the time.

However I think the best part, no the best part is, the members. It's incredible to me that in this day and age we can have great conversations on the internet with people we have never met and for the most part not have the confrontations you see on almost any other platform. 

[BIG STU]

Congrats on 10 years yep it has sure been fun and I am looking for more fun in the future. WOW!!! I joined the first year did not know that so I guess I am one of the old timers here.

Have been on forums for a long time; officially been on here since Jan 2012 but didn’t post. Once I learned that MGS was local to me I got more involved and really enjoyed the vibe the forum gave off. While I read and occasionally comment on other forums, this is where I post.

 

Love the insight and banter that goes on here and the opportunity to learn from others on the forum.

 

Have had the privilege of meeting a few members during a DMV get together a couple of years ago and hope that one day I can meet some of the other people that make this place special and helped get it to year 10.

 

[03trdblack]

Been here since the beginning!  Can't believe it's been 10 years already.  Just nuts.

[JohnSmalls]

I came here almost 3 years ago having just started playing golf.  I was really hesitant because I didn't know a thing about golf other than what old Tiger Woods PGA Tour video games taught me and some choice words that I can't repeat that my own golf game reinforced.  After posting an intro thread and even starting up some old topics that have been discussed  ad nauseam,  you guys never ragged me, instead it was all encouragement.  Now I spend too much time here, and I can't wait to talk to you.  So even though I haven't been here long, I plan on being here for the next decade.  Thank you guys for making this place what it is!  Happy 10th!

[gobama84]

Congrats to all that have been here throughout  the 10 years.

[pozzit]

Congrats on 10 years. There is tons of great stuff on this forum. I feel like I would have loved to join that long ago but I almost guarantee you i would have bought many more clubs due to all the great feedback and discussions.

[tony@CIC]

Wow that's quite an accomplishment in today's ever changing environment - 10 years AND growing. That's speaks volumes about the leadership including mods as well as the forum members.

I can't believe it took me 9 years to find this place.  Happy 10th to the MGS Forum.  Here's to the next 10!  

[Quigleyd]

Well done. Glad to have watched some of it happen.

This last part is basically what made me join and stick around. No obvious circlejerks, and no one making useless posts to threads without trying to contribute something of value, all while not flaming
