Is the "other site" done for good? (Merged)

[thepeak]

does anyone look at Bombsquad Golf for their Buy Sell Trades. I look there every now and then but I can't get it to come up. Just wondering if they have gone under and are discontinuing or if its a Website problem?

If this is not kosher please close

 

Thanks

 

Golf WRX is by far THE BEST

[Gareth]

Site has been down since the weekend.

[Manchild]

Has there been a reason given as to why the site is down?

[thepeak]

Boy, they sure have had their share of site problems
I can't ever remembering Golf WRX being down for "a week" let alone a few hours (max) - crazy

[thepeak]

I'm going to start a countdown figuring that if they don't have this problem fixed by , lets say next Monday, they will be Kaput.

So here goes - 4 days and counting

[corky]

The traffic/postings have been well down lately and the presence of the Ayotollah has been minimal, maybe it's 15mins is finally up.

[studatnu]

yeah things have been weird over there lately. All these "HUGE" sales and inventory liquidation.....

[corky]

..........I wonder how the 'insiders' feel?

[thepeak]

I don't go there very often but just curious
Why the big hate on for these guys?

[FG71]

Does anyone know if the rumors that "the site who should not be name" are true?

Cheers

[oJAKo]

Lets hope so

[mk920]

I have no idea but the site has been down for days now.

[Adamsgolfer1]

Server issues?

[Arafel]

Somebody should just sticky this topic for a while. It seems like it keeps coming up three or four times a day.

and now time to lock this thread too.

as long as it remains civil there's no need to lock it down.

surely someone can say definitively? non? an 'insider'?

I did a search and I got no results. Even locked threads are sometimes still visible and I did not see any. That's why I'm trying to get info in this post. If this thread gets locked I'll be very disappointed.

this is the only golf forum i visit (im new at the golf forum thing) and i only know about 2 others (THP & TST). is it one of those?

[cmilz99]

no. It is BSG.... and im so sick of lime green oziks and clubs that looks sick and i will never be able to afford...

oh, ok, thanks. ive heard bad things about that site but i have never even seen it before

[drivin4show]

Honestly I hope not. I started on BSG and later joined here and both sites have great info and I'd hate to see either one of the 2 sites disappear for good. There is a wealth of information to be had on both.

What rumors?

I'll be more disappointed if their site isn't done for good.

Let's face it. It wasn't Mr. Thumbring that made that site. It was the membership, most of whom have come over to WRX as well. Our sponsors on this site have access to the same tour goods. The difference is that they don't do the ridiculously high markups.

Methinks his new name change isn't going to erase his past either. A leopard can't change his spots, just like some people have to wear mandals...

[SMGolfer]

just looked them up, nada! apparently the rumor could be true? another forum is also talking about it......[url="http://www.shottalk.com/forum/equipment-talk/28937-bombsquadgolf-done.html"]Visit My Website[/url]

always preferred golfwrx anyways.

Battlestar Galactica? I kid I kid

[johnnypro]

What bad things? They seemed OK to me. Except for selling $800 tour heads that I can't afford.

[PixlPutterman]

Why does this not surprise me

[stp]

While I am partial to the wrx, bsg was/is a decent site. I met Todd and D town out on the course and they were both very nice guys. I will agree that Todd is heavy handed on line but in person he is very pleasant. In the early days they did not push product nearly as hard.

[monster]

johnnypro,

the problem most people have with them is the attempts to justify paying 3 to 4 times what a club is worth by trying to convince people that these "tour" clubs are actually made from metal mined from meteorites as they fly out of the a** of mutant underwater monkeys under a full moon in the springtime. There have also been accusations made by some people of possibly fraudulent "limited release" equipment being sold at premium prices. I don't know if any of the accusations are true, I just got tired of hearing about the "not available anywhere in the universe except here, super special custom Taylor Made, irons - only $2,500 oh, and by the way we have 50 sets".

That and the Matrix Kool-Aid party got old real quick.
