Forum Community Calls

[GolfSpy_APH]

We are going to introduce and try something a little new. 

Each Thursday at 4pm EST I will be hosting a Member Community Call via Google Meet. 

What's the purpose? We have a ton of great members here and even more knowledge to share. As we look to build and grow off the aspect of this community this will be another way to get to know fellow spys, chat the game we love and various other topics. 

What will be discussed? We will find a new topic each week, whether it is something forum related, testing, MGS Blog, PGA Tour or just general chat we will have a general topic which we will aim to discuss and have the expected tangents along the way. 

How long will it be? To start who knows? Probably at most an hour, but I will leave the call "open" if there are those that want to take some extra time to chat after. 

Why do this? Kinda the same as whats the purpose, but this is an area we think we can have some fun with and expand on. Our future Zoom Calls with HQ will be the same times and we will add in some Major Watch Parties during well the majors!

If you are interested in joining and getting to know some fellow spys drop in on Thursday and stay for a minute or hour. 

I will update each Monday with the "Topic of The Week" and we can build on some discussion in the thread prior to as well!

Think you will have time to join in?

Definitely interested, definitely hinge on topics for sure but should be a great discussion.

Awesome idea, count me in!

Looking forward to the format, things like who is on the call and what the intention is for the flow of the conversation.

Sounds like you're putting a lot of pressure on me already! haha

Sounds like a great opportunity to "get personal" with fellow forum members.  Love this idea and I would join as often as my "other" job's work schedule allows

I don't know if anyone would be interested,  but I'd be happy to answer questions about being one of the testers for HQ.   Would be a behind the scenes look at what is involved,  how much time it takes,  what do the labs involve, etc.   I am free most Thursdays at 4:00 as long as i'm not testing

Love it!

I think as this new we can go in a variety of directions. If someone has a topic they would want to speak on or if there are someone who may even want to be highlighted we can do that as well. It is an open platform and we can take this in whichever direction fits the community the best. 

Mostly I am just looking forward to getting to know some of you a little better and us having some good fun discussion!

I’ll see if my schedule will allow it.

Looks like I can squeeze this call into my busy schedule!!

[sirchunksalot]

I think this is a great idea and a good way to get to know some of our fellow members better. I'll definitely have to join in on some of these.

[GolfSpy SAM]

Love it! See you there! (Who's bringing the punch and pie? I was told there would be punch and pie.)

[GolfSpy_APH]

Topic of the week!

Feel like I should have given this a bit more thought, however I think if @cnosil is available to join and chat Most Wanted Testing as well as we will pull on the thread posted below and have some discussion about dream golf courses! 

For all those interested if you want to join the link will be posted above. Again time will be Thursdays at 4pm EST. If you have other recommendations for topics let us know as we would love to hear them!

Really cool idea! If I can make it work with my work schedule, I'll join in as many as I can!

[GolfSpy_APH]

For all those interested we are having our community call first tonight at 4pm EST. 

LInk is up top in the Thread Note (green box) 

Want to chat about courses you dream to play and get the insight into Most Wanted Testing with @cnosil? Join us and lets have a good time for the first ever MGS Community Call!

[GolfSpy BOS]

going to try my best to get on!  Daycare is closing early because of icy conditions expected later so I might not get on.

[EasyPutter]

Power has been off and on again all day, sometimes more off, sometimes more on, like there's a connection to a kid's toy and they neglect it for a while then start messing with it until it breaks, then someone has to put it back together again.  And the cycle continues.  Hope it's more on for the 4pm hour

(so I can be more on?  that just doesn't sound right)

[GolfSpy_APH]

Link is open, live and ready to go for any of those that want to hop in and join in on some discussion!

[EasyPutter]

Couldn't get the connection to work, probably something to do with the ice storm in progress, hoping to get it sorted for next Thursday.  Good seeing everyone and being part of the inaugural MGS online meeting.

[GolfSpy AFG]

Am I the only one who just lost the connection?  Says the call ended…

Very interesting guys!  @cnosil did a great job explaining in detail how the MGS Most Wanted testing happens.  Well run call.  Thanks!!

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Great info and insight into most wanted testing. Thanks, @cnosil! Looking forward to another call!

[GolfSpy_APH]

Thanks all for joining! Was a lot of fun and great to put some faces to names.

Thanks for putting it together.   It is always nice to put faces to names and talk in real time versus the forum.   Hopefully we can get more people to join us on the future calls. 

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Got in late but still had some good conversation going on. Will make sure I’m paying attention for the next one!

[drrlramsey]

Awesome. Can't wait to catch the next one.

[GolfSpy_APH]

A little late getting topic out for this, but this week lets talk Member Testing!

With the mod team hard at work getting as much done as possible I would love to hear some of your thoughts on what you want to see, how you may like to see it presented and have a general discussion around member testing!

I am also excited to announce that not this week, but maybe in a few weeks or so we will be bringing in some special guests to discuss their products for member testing!

Wow, that is exciting!

Regarding these special guests, do you envision this happening while the test is open for applicants, after tester selection, while the test is in progress…? Seems to me it would be especially interesting to hear prior to the test what they’re looking for from testers.

This may depend on the guest themself and they could be willing to do multiple drop ins. 

With the Newsletter being launched for Testing on Thursdays we would also announce if they were joining that night and it could be that they offer some insight or discussion around testing. For others they may drop in during, this will be more of timing that suits them. It is a simple platform for us to use and one that we can elevate and use to get another viewing angle on testing and just getting to know members so we will see how it develops!
