Re: The LPGA Thread

This has got to be the most unintentionally funniest threads of all time.
5+ years in the making and Tony continues to post like a madman each and every week whilst ignoring anyone that dares to come in and pollute his thread.
Absolute comedy gold!
I don't think even a spell at guantanamo would break this guy..
Keep fighting the good fight brother...

Incoming 2nd round scores coming up...no doubt

Edit:⬇ Right on queue..lol

It is a bit of an enigma. I get the impression that it's more of a bot that's simply spamming this forum to get views for his 'tonyslpgareport.com' website. The one time I ventured over to the page to see what was there, I saw a number of pictures of Tony with various LPGA golfers and in many of them they had a sort of a creeped out expression on their face... like they had been asked to pose for a picture with an eccentric uncle, or something

It's not just here though, every other golf gaming forum you go to, he's planted a bot thread, and sometimes multiple bot threads (if the forum doesn't police spamming). It must be a successful business model for him to keep it going all this time

First of all. I am not a bot and type out all my threads individually.
secondly, I continue to post here because although no one seems to respond, I get about 35 hits per day from here to my website, so I guess there are people here who are interested.

Next. I am a carded member of the media and and have all media privileges at all LPGA, PGA, and USGA events.

Lastly, your "creeped out" comment makes no sence as all the players on the LPGA Tour know me, as I can schedule interviews with them at any time.

Thanks for weighing in with a contextual response. I wasn't saying that you were fully a bot, as I'd seen your 'boots on the ground reporter' reports from your website. However, I honestly thought for years that you somehow had a bot handling your posts here, as they always follow a bot like template, and I'd never seen you respond to a comment, in context. I'm not saying that you haven't ever done so, I just didn't see it here.

You just keep doing your thing and if posting here is generated page views for you then it's probably worth your time. At least now I know I'm not seeing a 'bot' when I see your posts here and at HB Studios forums.

Re: The LPGA Thread

Multiple people, myself included, have tried to interact. There was a post just a couple weeks ago asking about a rules question that he completely ignored.

Tony has never shown any indication of wanting to engage in any interaction. He has the permission to post here but it's been pretty clear per his last post that he is only using this site to get hits at hits at his own site.

Okay, that confirms my suspicions. I guess I should take it as an accomplishment to actually elicit a topical response from him

I don't advertise on my blog. Not one ad ever! I don't make a penny. I am just trying to help promote the LPGA.

You've made it pretty clear that your primary motivation for this 'thread' is to generate hits at your website, whether you're making money off advertising or not. There's nothing wrong with that if you've got OS' blessing to do this, and kehlis' comment would suggest that you do. It sounds like your intentions are altruistic in supporting the LPGA, but to me it just seems to be a bit of an exploitation to use a forum thread, in which you have no indicated intention to engage the forum readers in a dialogue, to generate hits for another website? Again, OS seems to be okay with it, so I'll just say c'est la vie
