Fourmyle of Ceres and MattJ - two members that I appreciated for their knowledgeable posts.

 

Pains me when quality contributors unregister.

 

I'll add that I miss seeing Kadin in the Forums. He is the main reason that I became a club tinkerer and stumbled into the world of Wishon golf clubs. He also taught me that golf could (and should be) fun for my children.

I am still lurking ;)

 

And thank you for the kind words!

I sooo miss the 'Caption This' threads. :( :( :( :( :( .

My favorite all-time thread was the scratch wedges 8620/1018 metal accusations/nonsense that devolved into people arguing over whether or not a Japanese forger was alive or dead

 

I liked the one where the OP was wondering if the tees he purchased on eBay were counterfeit. If memory serves, he had photos of the "real" tee and the possible counterfeit tee side by side, along with using a ruler to measure the tees.

Did we ever figure out if that was real or a troll? I thought it was real....but that was an amazing thread too.

I thought it was a spoof thread of all the "Is It Real or Fake" threads we see. But, spoof or troll it was awfully entertaining.

If it was a spoof, it was very well played. He seemed quite serious. lol

Littlepingman is another one that hasnt been around for a while. Dude coined the greatest quote in golfwrx history in the Cameron Mini Thread

 

Anyone who would pay $40,000 for a golf club is a f****** idiot. Anyone who turns down $40,000 for a golf club is a bigger f****** idiot.

Oh man, I forgot all about that thread. It was very entertaining seeing those fanboys arguing! A like coming your way.

That STAFfBAGPRO guy was fun.

He's still out there starting the same kind of threads and toting his +6 cap around......He is someone reincarnated,I just can't put my finger on who it is.

I'd assumed he was just an even trollier account of that guy who took 20 baby steps and sneaks up to the ball as part of his preshot routine.

The Faldo thread was the all time great for me. The input from The Gachet and mat562 was sensational.

 

Thrill, Isaac and mtljeff.... frigging Canadians.

 

Tembolo was my Brazilian brother from another mother. Nice guy. Very interesting and extremely funny. Miss him on this forum.

Interesting thread that I've only just now found. Lot of names from the past, even pre-WRX past.

 

I also see there's a ton I've missed. Not necessarily a badness in some cases, LOL.

If I'm not mistaken, multiple members who attended the first two Callaway trips got banned. Any idea why?

 

The Gachet and mat562 were two of the best on here -- that Faldo equipment thread was, and still is, fantastic. I don't know what happened to The Gachet, but it's a bummer that a bunch of idiots ran off mat562.

I remember Frank and his love for cigars. He was a good poster. Also missed reading DemolitionMan's posts who left the site due to personal situations. I'm still around since the very first month after being invited by the founders to check out this site when it was brand new. I would love to know how many posters that was lower than my member number are still active. I miss lot of members that migrated here from that other forum back in 2005.

 

I'm going to post here, just to see what my member number is .... think it's 6361 but I'm not sure.

 

PS: We're only 16 years away from our 2034 banned-until date....

It's like cumulative fouls in football/soccer leading to a yellow card.

I'm assuming cumulative obnoxiousness led to the same thing.

Wow...I had forgotten about a lot of these guys!!!

 

TheDarkOne was so off the charts...I recall he started a thread called "The Fall of the Cameron Empire"....filled with his theories of why Cameron putters were going to lose their momentum.

 

I recall that Tembolo got put in time out once because he referred to TheDarkOne with a short-hand abbreviation...like calling Bob as Bobby or John as Johnny...anyway, it that could be seen as racial slur. He messaged me about it...he didn't even realize why he was in trouble.

The first trip had a good reputation, I forget everyone who went on that one but i know a couple of the guys are still here and regularly post. J13 for one. When we went and planned ours there was no mention of that trip in a negative light

 

There was another trip, i won't mention which i'll just say it was between the first one and ours which was the third one.....that did not have a good reputation. I am not sure all the participants were banned , some i think left on their own due to abuse.

 

When we were at Callaway, they very openly told us they hoped we would write some negative things if they were warranted. Not to lie or anything, but not to hold back criticism. I think most of us felt this was directly related to the reputation of a previous trip
