HERE are the forum Admins and Mods. ForgedRbest, Leaguegolf, Stlcard_25, Scotts1(who is currently inactive due to being otherwise occupied as a Lieutenant Colonel in he US Army) and I (Wazmankg) were longtime Moderators at another golf site that had been abandoned by its owner and only Admin. The site was falling apart but without Admin powers we were unable to make any improvements. The owner(and only Admin) did not respond to repeated requests for help over several months. We mods had to work as a team. One rogue mod(who is not with us here) decided he was going to do things as he saw fit in opposition to the desires of the rest us(banning valuable members simply because he didn't like them, etc.). Not being Admins we had no power to stop him. Things got a bit ugly. ForgedRbest & PingsRbest's daughter Brooke is experienced in web design, so with her invaluable assistance we started our own Board. Forged & Brooke had it up & running in a couple of days. We opened up shop February 4th of this year and most of the members at the other place came with us. That's the long and short of it minus the gory details.
