Popular Post GolfSpy_APH Posted January 27 Popular Post Share Posted January 27 Well all time to give you a little run down and all things forum and where we are at as well as where we hope to get to this season. I will kick off with Member Testing - as you have likely seen it is in full swing and we have a good schedule built out and in place already. We will be adding a lot to it over the course of the season and still have on going discussions with several companies. It will be a great season for member testing and one we are very excited to have everyone take part in! Remember to read the guide on how to be a tester. We will not just pick ppl to pick ppl. All must be qualified and active contributors to be chosen. The forum so far in January has seen one its best months ever. Period. Post counts are fantastic and overall activity levels with members and the eyes on the forum has been fantastic. With the new changes to googles SEO system we are seeing a nice boost in traffic and we hope that will translate to more great new members and more people joining the forum and getting involved. The Forum staff are going to look to continue to bring you a variety of new features, new activities and threads to participate in and enjoy. With the new push on socials watch out for a few give aways from time to time and be sure to follow! I have already mentioned forum staff articles, but keep an eye on the main site for Matt, Jason, Bryan, Ben, Hayes and Marks articles as they will start dropping tomorrow! We are continuing to adjust the ad load and tweak that configuration, however the platform we run on (Invision) has a massive update coming which will change a lot. We will not be updating right away as we sort out any bugs and potential short comings of the new system. In addition to the new features it will be adding all of our custom features (VCT, Member testing sign up and more) will all need to be updated prior. However this will bring a fresh look to the forum which we hope makes it look a bit cleaner and just more modern. Stay tuned as we provide updates to when these changes will happen! The Forum staff have lofty goals and expectations for the 2024 year. 2023 was great, it was a bench mark season for us and one that we haven't seen in a while. With all time highs in several categories. We want 2024 to take another jump, however we are also very aware of our identity and not losing that sense of community. We may be a smaller ish forum, but we still want to grow and keep our core values at the heart of that growth. We want to see our socials grow, our content on the main site and forum expand. We want to continue to bring excellent member testing to our community with stellar reviews. Additionally we want to grow the outings to be able to host and hold more than one per season in many areas all over the US and hopefully one day over in Europe. There are so many things going on behind the scenes with the staff its truly a great time to be a member and with the growing community we can only hope to bring you more of a little bit of everything. So what can you do to help? Tell your friends and golfing peeps about us! Get them to sign up, get involved and make them aware of this awesome community. We don't have a referral program, but if you have friends or colleagues that are curious or nervous, a little nudge goes a long way. Share or follow us on socials! This is a great way for us to get the word out about the forum and a fantastic way to help the hard work on the socials pay off. Keep being involved! Posts, activity and new threads all help us get more visibility on google and other platforms. Bottom line thank you for everyone making the start of 2024 near record breaking and come the new month I will post some more data for those who are interested in diving into that side of things! sirchunksalot, GolfSpy_SHARK, nvizble1 and 40 others 19 7 1 8 8 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!

First off, I will say the community and welcoming atmosphere is what keeps me coming back for more. You can't find a better bunch of folks to spend time with both virtually and on the community calls than you'll find here. I'm a high handicap golfer and I have wonderful discussions with both like golfers and golfers who regularly shoot par. I've played a few rounds with one of the better players on here and was nervous, it didn't take but a minute of meeting him in person before I was feeling relaxed and having a good time. As far as knowledge goes, this place is a wealth of it and I've learned a lot by being here. I have some of the guys at work coming to me to talk about the game and equipment quite often. I tell them that this is the place to be and if they want to learn and talk golf, come on over. I haven't been able to entice them to the dark side...

Popular Post GolfSpy_APH Posted February 1 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Now that January is over (at least in my timezone) We finished off with just if 12,600 posts. We came 13 or so shy of 2023 record (May 12,691). However it's January and this was truly awesome to see so thank you to all! Just wow. Not to be one to dwell on the past but for previous January's were were 2019 - 4300, 2020 - 5300, 2021 - 7200, 2022 - 5200, 2023 - 6600. So yeah we crushed it! Thank you to all. We also had just over 1000 new registrations last month. That is on pace for what we saw last year with 12,000 new registrations over the season. Truthfully I hope we see 20k new ppl this year...

It's amazing to see so many people coming to visit us and getting involved, especially in January where a lot of people aren't able to get out and play. I think that goes to show just how much work the forum staff and the membership have out in to create interesting and engaging topics for the forum.

Josh Parker Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 5 hours ago, GolfSpy_APH said: Now that January is over (at least in my timezone) We finished off with just if 12,600 posts. We came 13 or so shy of 2023 record (May 12,691). However it's January and this was truly awesome to see so thank you to all! Just wow. Not to be one to dwell on the past but for previous January's were were 2019 - 4300, 2020 - 5300, 2021 - 7200, 2022 - 5200, 2023 - 6600. So yeah we crushed it! Thank you to all. We also had just over 1000 new registrations last month. That is on pace for what we saw last year with 12,000 new registrations over the season. Truthfully I hope we see 20k new ppl this year... Fingers crossed. A great month and I only see this getting bigger and better as we progress! Some big numbers! Missed the record by 13 post... I should have asked a question in the ball rollback thread yesterday. cksurfdude, Rob Person, GolfSpy_APH and 5 others 2 6 Quote Paradym TD Driver w/ Ventus Blue 6S 3W MKII ZX 5's (4-6) w/ KBS Tour V MKII ZX 7's (7-PW) w/ KBS Tour V Vokey Wedges 50* 54* 58* DF2.1 Putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love to see records, however I still am very conscious of making sure we still have quality posts and content for readers to see and take in. It is great to have numbers, but empty numbers are also just that. Empty. It is one of the reasons I like this newer method of counting posts and engagement as it does not include any posts made in the testers wanted threads. While those are great, they are also what I consider to be empty posts.

It's why I stayed around. I've learned soooo much more than I thought was possible, amd thats just scrapingthe surface. I was a just a guy out playing some fun Whack-F#$%! before I joined here. Now I'm playing slightly better whack! with moderately less f#$%!
