GolfHos

I was just wondering.... is this just a website for people who like golfing to voice their opinions on golf and anything else in the news?  If so, then why is the name of the sight and the different forums based on the story 1984?  I joined this sight because I thought it was a place for people who enjoyed the concept of dystopian societies and the discovery of such novels and /or movies.  Can the other members please fill me in?  It would be much apprecoated. Please and thank you. :)

Our fearless leader lost his virginity in 1984 and it's been all downhill from there.

Other than that, this place serves no purpose.

Apologies if I seem overly blunt, but didn't you look around at all before signing up?  Are there ANY discussions here of dystopian societies and the discover of such novels and/or movies?

Nah, we're just simple folk who golf occasionally and natter on about 'most anything.

You deserve a straightforward answer.

Most of us are refugee's from another golf related forum, and Dystopia made the 1984 themed mirror site to help some of the members around workplace firewalls and such.

That's about it. Sorry to disappoint.

BTW, what's your handicap?  ;)

We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week,  but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting,  by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,  but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major decisions.

And yes...what is your handicap?

And since when did we start giving straight forward answers, did I miss a voting meeting?

It's a golf site because we golf, and it's a news site because we have Aske. ;D

There's a long and complicated story behind this site... www.dystopia.com/research.  Essentially it is 'mirror' site for golfhos.com, for those of us 'proles' who for whatever reason can not access the main site during working hours due to seemingly nasty network administrators.

In some ways the 'mirror' site represents the concept of dystopian societies, in respect of freedom from oppression and what not.

But mostly your assumption is correct in that most of the material here relates to golf and anything else that members feel the need to talk about.

I could be completely wrong on this but hey.. it works for me..

Cheers

That is a good point, I pictured this thread getting to 2 pages before he got a real answer. ;) ;D

Slow down Torp...that's twice this month you've mad me laugh, save some for the summer months.

About time you got a sense of humor.











:o ;) ;D

Welcome, Perfect Alias!

I see you did get one serious reply here.  In further explanation of MFAWG's post, this is a golf site - but not strictly a golf site.  You're probably viewing the site from the mirror that was set up.  Anyway, we like to talk about lots of things.  There are lots of references to movies and such, which if you stick around, I'm sure you will see for yourself (you'll probably also notice that a lot of it goes over my head and needs to be explained to me as I'm, um, out of touch with pop culture :D ).  Stick around, I think you'll enjoy the friendly atmosphere and banter here - who knows, you might even start to enjoy golf (if you don't already).  And you can ignore Torpedo ( ;) - j/k ); he's just my annoying brother. ;D

Nope, you didn't miss a meeting.  I tried to be helpful not too long ago and, well, this (http://www.golfhos.com/forum/index.php/topic,3391.msg43994.html#msg43994) is the reply I received.  So you're quite up-to-date with the standings around here. :D

well, while the site does have a golf theme and a lot of member displaced from another golf forum, we also like to post about how 1984 is coming to life in the form of glorious leader chimpy mcflightsuit.   war is peace!   loving freedom is helping the 'terrists!

For which I am very thankful!  When his links were absent, I was sorely behind on the current news. 

I think it's the other way around. :P :D

LMAO  This thread rocks!

Welcome, PerfectAlias.  Stick around, you might enjoy it here.


Chimpy McFlightsuit!

If you would have found GolfHos, instead, you would have found a Star Wars theme, that talks golf, while bashing Bush.  Kind of the same, but you may still have been confused.

I found this site because I was looking for a purple monkey dishwasher.

Before I knew it somebody made me captain of a virtual Ryder Cup-like golf competition between TIT's and Foreskin's.

Which lead to my very first ever, men meeting men on teh internets golf date.

Weird huh?

Thus was the ancient prophecy of the coming of the Golden One fulfilled.

I think everyone else has already done a good job of explaining that dystopia.com is a work-safe mirror for http://www.golfhos.com/

As for real dystopian sites, I like http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/

They've got a great forum at http://forums.newspeakdictionary.com/

I also like this site, but it doesn't have a forum:

We are all really just a bunch of nerds who are trying to sound cool dissin the "Chimp" as Aske says.

Except stroh, he is sort of the ex-jock who is trying to reconcile for all the times he beat up on us nerd types. He still doesn't have a clue about this internet thingy.

Live long and prosper.

I came for the puppies and stayed for the shoutbox.

Forget about handicap, does he use Firefox? ;D

Screw that, Mac or Windoze?

How about cast or forged? :o ;)

lol - poor stroh. :D

oem or component?

You think you've been disappointed, I found this website while googling for "Grecian Agrarian Fesitivals" just an instant before my "go back one page" button failed.
