I really used to enjoy the friendly banter and sports trash talk. Rich vs. Troy was classic. I also enjoyed Polar's dialect (even in print), though I didn't always agree with his opinions. Even those fun, engaging "Eagle Sighting" threads with cryptic hints from the daily PGA events are no more.
Those were the days when the forums were "fun", at least for me. Lately (like over the last 5+ years), the topics seem pretty boring, except for the occasional political sparring, but in terms of fun, engaging, controversial sports talk--virtually non-existent. That's why, I think, the community aspect of Jock$tocks has lost a lot of interest.
I'm not sure how to reinvigorate the chat. So many have left the community, barring a new wave of feisty competitors, perhaps the "community" aspect has simply atrophied and will eventually die.
