General

Has anyone visited their site lately? I tried to log on but the screen is just a white screen with no content.

[Golfinnova]

Just came off there with no problem. Had 2 replies to my thread about Lorenzo Charles death yesterday.

[BananaBall]

Very odd,

I cant even pull up the home page.

I wonder if I got the boot! I never got an email.

[OsnolaKinnard]

Looks like www.4gea.com died this week.

 

It was a good run.

 

See y'all in Wrx.

How much $$$ to bring it back?

[dcmidnight]

Makes me a bit sad. I was member #24 over there and had a lot of good times.

 

I even remember when the forum first launched, it was sharing some sort of username list with the new golf channel site. So when I signed up, I had to be dcmidnightii.

 

RIP.

[rddoger]

I will miss it. Not much for equipment anymore, but was fun to poke around in the politics folder.

 

[dmbrill719]

Came here just to see if there was a thread going on about this...anyone know what's up? Anyone reach out to Jamie or Derrick?

[NNY Lefty]

I was wondering the same thing. Will miss it if it really is gone. Had a long run.

[sharkiesj]

Long live Boomslang. Will miss the hot women posts and memes and gifs threads.

[ironton]

Its not totally gone. This is part of a current 4gea thread. It didnt format worth spit but you can see posts from some regulars.

If i had not cut and pasted the link for the specific thread from my email notification, I wouldn't know either. All normal access routes were dead ends for me. Quote From: Mike (LINKSRAT) 19 Feb 22:40 To: bcjim 19 Feb 22:43 10 of 17 86562.10 In reply to 86562.9

I clicked on an older email notice I had rec'd and it brought me in today. Albeit a whole 'new' look. Your last post also came to me via email just now, tho the earlier ones did not.

 

Maybe some progress.

You can recommence the DJT onslaught soon.

The amount of material that has built up in just one day is overwhelming. I suspect a sabotage designed to prevent posting about McCabe's book/interviews. Quote From: Steve (OZARKGOLFER) 19 Feb 23:21 To: ALL 13 of 17 86562.13

Seems very peaceful without the trolls though... Quote From: JJ (ELVIS) 19 Feb 23:29 To: bcjim 20 Feb 8:59 14 of 17 86562.14 In reply to 86562.1

Sorry, the hamster died. We're trying to find a squirrel to get the wheel spinning again.

HAHA! Hax! if it's dead - will be sad. A lot of fun times. But, this site is better for golf related posts (as we all know)

[8iron175]

That was a huge forum 10 plus years back. Tour spec golf forums dead as well.

[Hogan9]

I visit several of these golf forums daily for various types of information related to this game we all love. I've noticed I can no longer access the GEA forums. Does anyone here know what has happened to this site? When I try to go there I get an error message. Have any of you had the same problem or is it just me?

[ozarkgolfer]

Unless you back door the site using an old thread you cannot get in. You can still post - there is a 25 post thread running questioning what happened and whether it is going to re-start. One of the guys has started a new GEA website, but call me hornery (I'm one of the original members) or just plain lazy, but I don't want to start all over again.

[Matt J]

what does GEA stand for?

I think it's Golf Equipment Aficionados.

I assume "hornery" is a typo. If not, it's the best neologism in a while. We should start a thread with suggested definitions!

Well, I guess I'm done with that site. I haven't saved any old posts to use to get in via a "backdoor". The forum had kind of veered in a bad direction. Almost every post would include some kind of smart--- insults along with legit answers. I did get some valuable info there. I guess these other sites (including this one) are just as good. I even found one called Golf Monthly from "across the pond". The Europeans add a nice perspective. After all, they invented the game.

Looks like www.4gea.com died this week.

 

It was a good run.

 

See y'all in Wrx.

 

Osnola Kinnard aka Sir Hacksalot

 

Hax, it's not dead. Everybody was banned except Calvin. :taunt:

[gunni]

I was a member. In a good way it best if it does go away. Some good guys there but the last several months it became a real negative forum. Personal attacks were very common.

 

WRX has a very professional look and is structured well. Prefer it over GEA.

 

[JBent9610]

Looks like all of the troll accounts/alternate ID's finally crashed the site.

 

It was a great site for quite some time, but between the trolls and the people who fed them, it lost its charm.

[stevepoz]

Longtime GEA member. I used to call it the font of all knowledge.

 

While I hope it comes back, I agree with others that the negativity was taking its toll.

I did not follow Calvin very much, but 5XClubChamp always made me chuckle.

 

Maybe he will show up here.

[stcjones]

That jerk Anser ruined the place....everything became an attack and fight. Then he created several other usernames and destroyed everything that Derrick brilliantly created. What a shame . RIP 4GEA!

[Jstate]

Long time member at GEA although seldom posted the past few years.. Sorry to see it die but it was just not the same as in the old days. It seemed as though a few posters ruined the site for others. Really tired of the snarkiness. Back in the day it was a great source of golf knowlege. We had some fun golf outings in Lafayette, Louisiana for a few years around Easter.

 

Happy to be a member now at GolfWRX.

[ob6079]

Lot of good people there...... I mostly stayed away from the futility folder.

[CROUSE99]

I started to enjoy GEA much more after I stopped going to the futility folder (politics). Sorry to see it go.

[V-Blade]

It’s kind of amazing seeing it come to an end as it became a daily ritual to go out there for 20 years. Easily the site I visited most which is kind of funny since it became just about anything other than golf for about a decade.

 

Almost feel like I should hold a service or at least buy a club while deleting the bookmark.

You think Anser created the group of morons aka Calvin, 5X Club Champ, Boris er al? Not a chance.
