Glad to see you're back up! That's the good news. Bad News- 12 Piece couldn't hang on long enough without a fix- passed away over the weekend!
Nahhh...that's just the withdrawal symptoms. Pass a chicken wing under his nose and he'll roust out of the stupor.
We're still hammering out the finer details in the gallery section. It will change to a flash version in the coming week.
We've worked out most of our database issues and think we found a bug in the widely deployed MySQL code that millions of commercial servers use. We know how to work around it, we've tested it and have multiple backup routines in place to avoid having it ever happening again. The bad news is that we lost some great golf posts over the Christmas/New Years period. So while those memories are still fresh, let's get it kicking again.
If anyone makes copies of posts, feel free to put them back up under the thread titles. Databases are strange beasts and all of the conversation threads are still intact.
Thanks Bambam for sacrificing the weekend to get things rolling again. He took advantage of the downtime and put some new clothing on the site along with an upgraded gallery section to handle the upcoming flash upgrade, and a little Brian Gay preview video.
(Not an easy thing to do during the Chrysler Classic and NFL playoffs)
LBG is open for business!

My thanks to both Bagger and Bambam for their tireless and selfless efforts to make LBG work for all.
This past week's conversion was necessary to continue the expansion of products and services we offer our members, and the loss of a few weeks' posts, while clearly unintentional and disheartening, is a small price to pay for the benefits that lie ahead.
We weren't quite ready to roll out our enhanced site, but we decided to use the downtime caused by our data loss problem to accelerate the process. This is in no way a finished product. Hang with us the next couple of weeks as we put new color schemes in place and, in general, tidy up the joint. We will reward your patience!
We welcome all comments and suggestions in the Forum and Web Site Suggestions forum (under The Club Office).
We were able to extract some of the data from the corrupted private messages table, but only up through around Jan. 11. We'll try to do the same thing with the posts, but that table appears to have sustained more damage than the PM table.

It has been three weeks since this post (I have been anxiously awaiting and counting). I am trying to be patient, but it is difficult. We got a little hint of what might be available on the "enhanced site" with the Brian Gay video. OK..OK.. enough already, my appetite is whetted. Could you give us a little more information, pleeeeeeease!!!
New videos?
Yoda DVD?
Equipment (Pro Shop)?
Other exciting things?
I am trying to be patient, but not very successfully. When can we expect to see the "enhanced site"?
