  get your f#$king piece of crap sorted . 3 rounds in a row .. failed last round was on 3 bird hot streak .no completed round ball used up .. are you really joking .

  think it time to start action against this site .. love the game but wasting my time and money is not on. disconnected 3x   geee wonder why as your programmers are useless . head to the local school you'll find kids that can do it better and you'll save money.

  what's your new excuse this week  .. if your game fails  .why is that counted as disconnecting ????????????????????????????

  lets see what the public media have to say about this.

  think the 6 million members are  getting a little toey if 1/6 posted on social media about the issues .. how you think that will help your pockets

  WGT claims 7 to 8 million registered users, maybe 500 ppl use the forums on a regular basis, about 30 of those complaining about the bug, 5 threatening to quit! Roughly 0.000004%

   

  The social media response would most likely be "what's a WGT, they have an online golf game?"...and 2000 more would join...

  Ya starting to get the big picture yet 72 6f 6c 6c 69 6e 62 75 73 31?

  Now do you know what that hex code means? The WGT programmers do!

  You 're a grain of sand in the sand box, learn to deal with it....

  Okay, just to clear up the "could care less/couldn't care less" controversy...

  The phrases are identical in meaning once one realizes in the case of the first one mentioned, "as if" is implied, as in "as if I could care less."

  So it doesn't matter which version one uses, they're identical in meaning, and that's my feeling irregardless.

  Not if it were organized by the right people and presented in the right way. Let's be honest here, if WGT continues to have, for the most part, a very bad attitude towards many players, as well as have the game continue to get worse in the problem areas that are mentioned consistently here, they could have a recipe for very bad press about the site and game.

  I am certain there are members here who, if things were to reach a point where players were being screwed out of money on a daily basis, because of game glitches or server issues, would be happy to be a part of a media campaign that does not show WGT in a good light.

  I know, if that ball ever got rolling it would not be hard at all to organize, and I know the members are plenty varied when it comes to their jobs, skills, cash flow, connection's, a list full of people very good at what they do, and willing to use their talent's to help in any way they could.

  Wouldn't be hard at all. In fact, I bet I could have a group of highly motivated people, who were ready to work day and night to bring the site down, in 1-2 weeks, using only the internet to arrange our 1st meeting. Nope, wouldn't be hard at all.

  Don't ever begin to believe you are invincible or untouchable, or too big to be brought to your knees. It has usually only taken one small event, change, or a small group of people to take down so many of the most powerful people, institution's, government's, or businesses in history. That will never change.

  Be competition that does it if it's there to be done.  Now I would love to see competition, and a few things would get cleared up round here pretty quick. But a few people from this forum going on a campaign...all been talked about before and not the way it works.

  WGT has a complete disregard for anything that is not profit tomorrow.  The headliner on that is CC upgrades, and for me such is not "potentially" good for them.  Fiscal drag is proven as much as direct monetarist intervention and WGT ignore it.  CCs are the back bone of a fair bit round here, and not a head nod in how long??  This kind of stuff will not be good if competition comes along as loyalty factor will be low, given every last possible testing of extreme pricing possible etc.  

  Until that glorious day when competition happens (and history says it most likely will) this monopoly is full steam ahead.  Doing much right in fairness (two new courses in 12 months), but leaving so much undone too.  

  Now maybe WGT have a new technology they are working on, but I doubt they are big enough to really drive that, but who really knows.  Nothing against these graphics / game physics (well mostly on the physics lol) we have now, but as sure as little green apples happen it won't be young forever either.   

  There was a dude in these forums not long back going to start a facebook campaign about the $7 balls, and bring the walls down.  Well from what I can see, not even a sound.  Well intended I am sure (unless you are WGT lol), but the troop of wishful, no substance forlorn hot air too sadly.  No offense just how it always did work, does work and will continue to work.

  I get pi$$ed as much as any one with the disconnect issues playing A/S...At least they have fixed whatever the slowness was with the rest of the site for a while...hoooray

  Ah I see, it makes sense now, I just need to fill in missing words for it to  make sense.

  I could be wrong but I don't think that's how the written word is supposed to work.
