A spray from ISG admin...

[MegaWatty]

Just copped me a nice spray from ISG Admin for being a bit cynical and antagonistic.

Went a little something lie this...

"Ah yes the shameless promo – you guy a always think there’s some conspiracy going on :)

Might want to check the equipment articles we upload and put on the forums are from several companies who have never spent a dollar on ISG.

We upload new equipment articles that are major announcements from any company and a new ball from TM is definitely one of those. And going by the number of people who have read it (eg 2nd most read article anywhere on the site this week) then it seems people like to read these types of articles.

So if you please feel free to exit out of any of our “shameless” promotional posts at any stage. I hear Golf Link don’t have much in the way of decent content so maybe hang out there and twiddle your thumbs."

why would I hang out at Golflink when I could hang out here???

Dont tell him you post here, you will get banned.

My account there is active but I cannot post, the reply/post button is missing.

he claims something is wrong with my browser, yet i use about 6 different computers, 3 different OS, and problem isthe same, yet a differnet account on the same computers works fine.

Getting banned is fair enough, but why lie about it, several times.

My banning occurred immeditealy after this reply, "there are plenty of rounds (on Goldcoast) organised online, just not here" Yet the tirade of abuse against Ozgolf that followed that post by some muppet i never heard of (lives around northern rivers) was not only permitted but congratulated by the admin.

The Double standards lives on.

Funny that, despite their desperate attempts to censor their forum, the actions in the end, drive more people to the other forums. :smt038

Always amuses me when I read threads like this. If you do not like ISG . simple. Don,t go there. It,s kinda like those that slag others golf clubs .
Sure the sites are different. That is one reason that I visit both sites.
I really cannot see why anyone needs to knock sometrhing just because they do not like it
MW I saw that post. I did think Admin came on a bit strong. But your remark did go some way to inviting that response>:?:?

[MegaWatty]

Hey Pom,

The thread hadn't received one positive reply. Anyway, I was just a little shocked by it all. Yeh, I pushed the envelope, but I still stand by my remarks. Perhaps a straw breaking a camels back. I'm cool, and will still hang around in there. Although, the thread counts seem to be getting lower and lower. Meh, it's Internet forums. The real bitching needs to be taken out to the course, followed by the car park. :)

[Yossarian]

ISG sucks balls.

[virge666]

Have they got PM's yet ?

[mike]

I agree pom.

ISG is simply aweful now. i'm still a member but only have a look every 6 months or so. So hard to navigate. Hard on the eyes. Ads everywhere. The forum software is just outright terrible.

I think the reason so many here can't let go is that ISG is where all of this (and TGF) started.

[Tongueboy]

did they delete the offending post? very big on the censore

I just mentioned that I find it hard to understand why some individuals have to run down anything that they do not like. We have members at the coarse that take great delight in slagging off the other courses in town.
Why do they bother if as they believe we have the best course?
If Ozgolf is so much better. Why the need to slag ISG?:twisted:

In the ISG feedback "comedy" section I had to laugh that it turned to religion and politics. If I was ever to make another post (I have barred myself) I would have suggested there be a prize for 150th post ... any suggestions ..maybe a Vision cap ..how would that go down? any suggestion?.

I think they are good, and there are so many pages because there are a lot more people than me that think they are good as well. The $70 you pay for the VTPP package is good value because of the stuff you get along with your dozen balls.

This is not a paid endorsement, BTW. 8-)

If you read a few of the pages you will find that some of the posts are feedback on the balls & other gear but we had a lot of fun on there too. Great bunch of guys too. As this place will probably find out as quite a few have joined up lately:)

[AlexMc]

If that is the case that is pretty sh*t given how much quality he has contributed...

[LarryLong]

It's not about how much quality you contribute when it comes down to advertising.

That said, I reckon the vision thread was just a bunch of blokes trying to scam as many free pills off Boz as they could by plugging the crap out of his gear, so maybe he respectfully withdrew when it started affecting his bottom line? :mrgreen:

[nickentguy]

Well Larry ..all I can do is tell u the truth from my side .. got some introduction balls at the beginning (18 months ago?) and then paid for what ever I got after that. With all that has been written, if u believe that people post just to try get some freebies then nothing I write will change your view.

Why so many posts? A couple of reasons. The first is obviously the passion some have for the product and thats just because it is new and different and it does work (for some golfers). There are also about 8 different balls that have been introduced and they have different characteristics. We like to say how they went for us. Its not a scentific test and we are not all articulate (as u can tell I'm not). It is just ordinary golfers giving their opinions.

Spot on, I joined the program to try a variety of different balls and at the end of the day if I find one or more that I like (which I reckon I will) then I will be purchasing them direct from Boz.

[AlexMc]

To be fair Vision was listed as a sponsor of ISG at one stage. I see now he is not. Perhaps that has something to do with it - now they are not getting any of his money they no longer want his input?

If that is the case...it's ordinary that they haven't let him continue posting while not blatantly pushing his product. He had some pretty interesting things to say and to be fair complimented opposition product when he thought it was due.

ISG is a commercial site run for commercial benefit. Ozgolf, TGF, GCA etc are all primarily forum based sites run not for profit. ISG compromises the threads for their own needs and wants, whereas the others do not. Pretty simple gents. Eventually it seems everyone gets tired of the ISG rubbish and moves on to better places.

I've hit a few and they are not a bad ball, but they are just a ball. Haven't hit one that I have liked more than the balls I normally play with.

And yes I did word it that way on purpose.

[MegaWatty]

FYI. Boz has been testing Tour Balls of late. Stay tuned.

[idgolfguy]

It's pretty sad really...

Anyway, i doubt you'll have much drama here, unless you get sucked in with that threadjacking WA crew :roll:

Enjoy :)

Damn shame about no daylight saving in WA.

[AndyP]

You'd think with all the sponsorship money they would have a better platform.
I don't think money has anything to do with the platform they have designed.

[markTHEblake]

I must be the only person that thinks vision balls are junk.

Mike, i have a vague memory of saving 3 of the original Xpert2's from the 2007 champs for you, i guess Courty bought em back for ya. (at least i remember you requested some if any left over, and I am pretty sure i sent off some to melbourne as well)

if that is the only ball you have tried, you are missing out on a lot. You really should get a hold of either the X3's or the Gel ball to try so that your opinion is up to date!

You may even remember that Ozgolfs premium skeptic Jack gave the Xpert2's a real bashing, but he liked the new versions as mentioned above

[LarryLong]

Please stay on topic folks, this thread is about bashing ISG, not Vision golf balls. :)

The other good thing about this forum is that sarcasm isn't completely lost on the general population.

[mike]

Mark I don't remember making that request, so I guess Courty must have kept them for himself.

I bought 2 dozen Xpert2s a few months ago. I used one in the first round of the Mareeba open. I liked it so much I listed the 2nd dozen on ebay that night. I have 8 left which I'm donating for champs prizes.
Hard as a rock. Horrible to chip with. Cut up like a bastard. I compared it to a E6+ I used next day and the E6 looked like a new ball compared to the vision.

My opinion is up to date. I bought them. I don't like them. Plenty of others do. The world still turns as it always did.

It was first page of the Vision thread, but i had another look, it was Mikezone

The Xpert2's have been superceded with the X3's- much much better ball.

[adlo]

Mike, the X3's are way better, but durability on the non-Gel vision balls is not the greatest.

[Courty]

It was first page of the Vision thread, but i had another look, it was Mikezone.

Phew! I'm off the hook. :o

[mike]

No you're not. You were given 3 balls to give to Mikezone. Where are they?

[Courty]

I deny Blakey gave me anything at the 2007 Champs other than the sh*ts. :mrgreen:

[Tex]

I don't think money has anything to do with the platform they have designed.

That's for sure, plenty of free ones out there that are much better then the set up they have, what a PITA it is :roll:

Mmmm Maybe this ball tearing piece may have something to do with it:
"this site is full of midgets with severe cases of small man syndrome hiding behind anonymity. PATHETIC !!" I read the topic that thus cam from and its a ripper:smt038:smt038
Don't know if it was directed at admin or the clowns slanging off at each other. From what I can see you were part of two locked threads.

[mardo10]

yes pegasus ,that was me ,it was directed mainly at slappa and the admin team ,there were numerous other posts that i put on and they were all removed ,also a slanging match via email between myself and someone from admin i think his name was dan but dont quote me on that .i probaly shouldnt have said that in that thread but after another thread that i had posted in with a slanging match with slappa ,i just lost it

[mardo10]

just on those 2 locked threads ,around 12 or so of my posts were removed ,none of witch were insultive or offensive and yet they allowed the midget one to stay ,very strange ,by the time i had posted the message that probaly got me banned i was allready in the process of moving on from isg

also the responses i got from admin in regards to why my posts were deleted were lame and im sure it was for other reasons that i will never know

As I have posted several times. I frequent ISG because there are some posters there that I consider to be friends & I like to stay in touch with them.
Admin on the other hand do not impress me & as such I am quite happy to make comments on their behaviour.
I might even find a few people here that I can call friends dependant on wether they take a liking to slinging off at me as a certain individual seems to be doing:smt079

Was going to use the Smiley face but I do like to be different. No feelings hurt & no problems with the digs.
I am beginning to see why some people here do not like ISG. I just don't intend to let some Ill feeling prevent me from staying in contact with people I like to chat with. I might add that several of them are those that shifted camp in the last couple of weeks. Keep up the Digs. I give as good as I get:)

I have looked at that thread and how 2 members of ISG were not banned is beyond me. Reckon your statement was a ripper and if Admin had any balls both parties would have been gone!!

[armygolf]

Is it true Show Me was canned? Surely not Peg.

[ozdevil]

Why is everyone here worrying about what is happening on another site

if ya's not happy with ISG and the administration over there no one is forcing yas to be there...

What would be good to see ozgolf v ISG grudge match 100 buck entry fee + green fee's at played in one location in each state for example

victorians may play at sunshine

South Aussies might play at royal adelaide

Qld'ers play at Nudgee Golf Club (http://www.iseekgolf.com/courses/645-nudgee-golf-club-north)etc


All particapants hand in there score card online at say golfbuddy.com.au

the site who wins has braging rights for 12 months

The whole episode was a bloody disgrace and was the main reason I made the move.
ISG Admins total lack of concern/interest in thread content is appalling, the complete thread should have been deleted, however as we all know its still up there for the world to see.
I've always maintained that a team of responsible moderators should have been appointed to nip this sort of rubbish in the bud.
As it is the forum has pretty well kneecapped its self with just a few die-hards trying to hold the fort.

[markTHEblake]

I have looked at that thread and how 2 members of ISG were not banned is beyond me.

That is one of the reasons that started Ozgolf, in hindsight best thing that ever happened :lol:

and then following that, because roughly the top 20 contributors abandoned the site overnight, some of us got banned for the most trivial of reasons. One guy simply because he mentioned Ozgolf in a private message/conversation with the Admin.

[goughy]

Funny enough, I've never been banned there!!!

[markTHEblake]

How would you know, did you ever go back after that spray you gave.

[Eldrick]

Aren't they getting into bed with golflink or GA soon?

[KristianJ]

It only occurred to me just now to look, but besides their classifieds, is there actually a set of forum rules anywhere on Eye Ess Gee? I can't find one...

[goughy]

Yep. And even when Jaster was being banned I was left alone. I don't remember spraying much really! I barely have enough time to spend here - I don't need to worry 'bout two golf sites.
