As many of you have noticed, our current website has been suffering from some performance issues recently. While it has served us well these past several years, the website and the software it uses are due for well-deserved updates. We are happy to announce that a new leaner and faster website is scheduled to launch in late September!

While the most notable improvement will be increased speed and overall performance, there are several other enhancements and additional features planned as well. The overall look and feel of the website will receive a slight makeover and have a cleaner, more modern look. You will also be able to display content in multiple languages including French, German, and Russian. The website has also been optimized for use with mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, and Android) and Facebook functionality has been added too!

Another new feature that we are excited to offer is the ability for you to create your own disc golf-related blogs to share with other PDGA members. If writing is not your thing, you can save your favorite posts and mark your favorite bloggers instead.


If you are interested in helping with the new website and would like to be a beta tester, contact David Gentry at dgentry@pdga.com.

We appreciate everyone’s patience with our existing website problems and are looking forward to a new robust website in the near future.

If Mr. Gentry believes that that website served us well, I am now concerned about the quality of the new website. I will reserve judgment but that doesn't inspire confidence.

Sam, We are talking about the new PDGA website. NOT the lame P.O.S. Dodgers.

Um... you've noticed your lead on the Dodgers shrinking... as is your hopes of making the post-season. You guys are looking like the Portland Trailblazers of the MLB... and that's not good.

Yeh, that and the "suffering from some performance issues recently".
I have faith in Dave that he'll do the best he can!
Sam, are you going to offer any of your brilliance to the new site?
IMO you would make an excellent beta tester, as you're already real gudt at testing us board peeps. But you can always get beta. Right?

Oh hell no. I want nothing to do with that project. Some of the people who have complained are real pricks...

Why be part of the solution when you can be part of the problem? Or at least bitch about it? Much more fun.

No kidding.

What's really amazing is how the new website has been pushed back so many times already this year:

  • From the Minutes from the April 27-29 2011 Spring Summit: "ACTION ITEM:...to have website upgraded to Drupal 7 within 30-60 days."
  • From the Minutes from May 2011 Teleconference: "New Website Update We are still on track to launch the new website by June 28th. This launch will also include the online magazine, social media functionality, and conversion of the existing tournament-admin functionality."
  • From the Minutes from June 2011 Teleconference: "We are going to miss our original projected launch date of June 28th. I had a detailed meeting with Ciphent / Accuvant last week and our new launch date is Thursday July 8th"
  • From the Minutes from July 2011 Teleconference: " As you can clearly tell we did not launch on July 8th as expected...The revised plan is to have the new site ready for beta testers on July 23rd and to give the beta testers a week...Provided the beta testing goes well the plan is to launch the new site in early August (somewhere between the 1st and 3rd) which will give us a faster and more robust site in time for the Pro Worlds in Santa Cruz.
  • From the new PDGA.com article: "We are happy to announce that a new leaner and faster website is scheduled to launch in late September!"

Oh come on folks, they're corporate...and you think they care? Just ask those Lifetime members who signed up in 1976 under the come on, "Lifetime member, nothing to pay again" yet last I heard #163 is paying his membership every year. When it come to corporate just remember Tomlin's sketch on "Laugh In," "We don't care...we don't have to." Oh that's right, most of you weren't born yet...



'Nevermind"

Nice one JMan.
I'd watch TV again if R&M had their own channel.
