Par4QC What have you done with FGI....it's gone!!

Though they do have an eerie slideshow of posted goodbyes from members.....much like you'd see on a funeral home's website for deceased people; creepy. I didn't turn on the sound as I suspect Boris Karloff, or the likes, to be narrating!!

The new FGI admin assclowns spent more time on the slide show than they spent on the forum since it was migrated from the old data base. I still don't understand why they even picked the old forum up.

      Too bad, so sad!!! FGI is now gone.

      I guess my Arnie post pissed them off enough to shut it down....

      Well bummer!

      But on to bigger and better things hopefully here at GolfBuzz.com!!!!!!!!!

      Rickochet Yea. I still don't believe they wouldn't let it go. I asked a couple of times, was told no. I even offered some $$, never got a response on that one. <sigh> oh well.

          a month later

          I was in FGI since maybe the beginning (1999?). It was a lot of fun in the beginning but, like a many things in life and, in my opinion, it didn't evolve the right way and adapt to user needs.
          I met some really nice people both in the forums and in real life through the site.
          But, it's a well know law of nature, either you adapt or you disappear.
          There was also GolfDope which I liked.
          Let's all hope that GolfBuzz learns from these examples and will survive longer.

          Well, a shift back to Australia from the States, I go to find FGI and it was goneski ... Glad to have found familiar people here.

          Just played my first rounds after getting some major surgery, and glad to be back swinging. Of course, now I have to go find some new clubs ... 🙂

            Yeah... there are still great guys like Sixtyfour hanging around. Great guy, classy guy! Years back (12 to be exact) Tom helped me set up a great itinerary for a trip to Paris. Turned out to be a great trip. I'll never forget arriving at our hotel and at the front desk getting a written message: "Welcome 64". Blew me away! (I still have all his correspondence from 2004.)

              Orlimar1 Welcome to the Buzz!! It's essentially FGI 2.0. Tons of former members here, and the man that created FGI.

              and I'm on my way to 10,000 senseless post-padding quips! 😉

                  Ok, so I took the bait and ran with it. BAAB told me about the loss of FGI.
                  Justin, thank you for doing this. Sorry I couldn't make Desert Storm this year. If I knew you were going to be here I would have tried to find time to catch up.
                  I'll be around lurking and looking for the any reason to give Spuzz some shit.

                    Another one is back...cool. This place is basically a purged fgi membership list!

                    Darthfader I'll be around lurking and looking for the any reason to give Spuzz some shit

                    LOL
                    You I can handle.
                    😉
