I stepped away from Golfdiscussions.com several years ago and this morning thought about taking a quick "lurk".
My screen said 404, not found.
Did the site finally collapse under its own weight ?

refresh me here. what was unique about that site?

    azgreg I probably went there at one time but don't remember anything about it.

    Spuzz

    LOL in some ways and sad in others.
    I remember Zupps.
    I was invited to join by a sponsor and did so.
    Hung out for a while until it became an Almo love fest and Almo lauded the failure of SMT.

      That's OK....seems like a bunch of fanatical Wishon lovers on most of these sites these days. And to think the Man has and claimed over 300 original designs over the years...you remember that claim...if you think hard. I have it on 'save' in my file section thru the years. But, oddly enough, now the Man claims only 50 original designs on his website....what happened to the other 250??!! Aye, it's a strange business, mate! Just glad I have high boot tops.

        I go on there now and then....pretty dead.. I got the same message, I don't think it's gone. Just something fucked up for a few days.

        This is what I was looking at:

        Tom Wishon Golf Technology designs each of our clubhead, shaft and grip models to be custom fit to the wide variety of size, strength, athletic ability and swing characteristics seen among the different golfers who play this great game.

        Our design abilities are unsurpassed in the golf industry as evidenced by the more than 50 different design and engineering firsts that our models have achieved over the past 20 years in the golf equipment industry. We welcome you to take the time to view the features and benefits of each of our proprietary custom designed models to learn how a professionally custom fit Wishon Golf design can help you play to the very best of your ability.

        Steve the 300 original designs may be for his total career with Golf Smith, Dynacraft and other component companies he has worked for and the 50 may be just since he started Tom Wishon Golf.

        Gus...The only reason I brought this up is Pot Bunker just feels compelled to constantly bring my name into his B.S. while all the time pimpin' Wishon products. And then to top it off I have to read this:

        "Our design abilities are unsurpassed in the golf industry"....says TW.

          I liked the place until the doosh bags there, and there were plenty, started acting like narcissistic, little, fucking juveniles. Glad to see in fold.

          I was part of that purge as well.

          You and many others including me, Rick B just to mention a few.

          Steve fair enough. I know TW has done a lot of things over the years that have been pretty good for the game. I don't know if I would give him credit of 300 though. I miss those days when you and Mike used to go at it tooth and nail on FGI as well. It kept the site rocking, now it is just rolling.... over and dying.

            I think social media sites like Facebook has hurt golf forums like this and others. Brian Manzella's site has had little traffic for quite sometime because he and his staff are more into the social media stuff like Facebook. Not a Facebook guy and never will be.

              Gus....Just getting 'Mellow Yellow' in my old age. Mike and me talk privately about once or twice a month. We still disagree on several subjects....we are friends now. Those old days of hammering each other are gone...way gone.....forever gone.

              Last time i spoke to Mike he said, "Steve, let's get Spuzz...he's way overdue!"

              No matter what you do Gus....there will always be some Jackass taking pot shots at you. Mother Teresa could be fitting golf clubs and some Nimrod would be out to get her!

              End of story.
