are timvp and kori like super rich?

[sook]

This site is huge, it probably takes a lot running it.

Not to be nosy or anything b.c it probably isn't my business or anything but if someone wanted to buy this site for like 20K would you do it? :wow:greedy

[DesignatedT]

You're right... It isn't your business.

[4>0rings]

Yes they are.

[polandprzem]

they are so rich they gonna pay for Jeffersons contract just to make Peter Holt happy

[blkroadrunners]

Define "rich."

[Kobayagi]

timvp is actually Peter Holt but is not using his real name for obvious reasons.

[NewJerSpur]

I actually do believe there are some notable analysts/insiders/etc. on this board who are obviously going by different user names, but I'd never be able to prove it. There are a few who I'm quite sure visit Spurstalk frequently.

[redzero]

Too bad timvp spends all of his time here trolling under different usernames.

[greyforest]

pretty sure i heard they are lawyers and yeah they are probably pretty loaded

theyre also pretty cool to host the site without ads and not sell it

these forums are really a lot better than almost any other NBA team's forums, and that's why so many trolls from other teams stick around here. their own team's forums suck / have ads plastered all over them / etc but almost all of them have much less traffic than spurstalk.

[TDMVPDPOY]

YOU know how much sperm and blood timvp donates to keep this site runnin...

[NameOfTheGame]

They're like the Godfather/mother of Spurs fandom on the internet. Basically.

[Saul Silver]

Not to be nosy or anything b.c it probably isn't my business or anything but if someone wanted to buy this site for like 20K

20K is a hardcore lowball offer. ST is probably worth $1 per post made here. Anyone with the right market sense knows that.

If I remember right, someone did want to buy this site, but for 50K.

i just like the image of timvp sitting in his chair like the don, smoking a fat cuban...and kori with her hand on his shoulder in a red velvet dress behind him.

[Buddy Holly]

I do believe this is TIMVP aka LJ taking a recreational swim in his "pool."

[Kori Ellis]

:lol What a weird question. No, we aren't rich.

And it would take a lot more than $20K to buy SpursTalk. We turned down over $100K in the past.

Hey sook. Not to be rude or anything, but what is your annual salary?

[Das Texan]

Kori and LJ were rich.


Then Looter came along and all their monetary richness disappeared....


I'm just sayin..

[SpurOutofTownFan]

timvp is famous for defending parker manu and timmy at different times - he's a big3 homer

I have to log on and interject. As a web finance accounts manager, I have to tell you that forums such as this one are very come and go. Traffic and fiscal value can correlate directly from wins/losses. Therefor, losing consequently diminishes this sites value in the long run. I understand an emotional commitment to a project that is yours. However, logically you might see it as the stock market and try to sell high. This Spurs team is on the way down and could remain down like many other small markets in the NBA.

That all might be true. However, unless someone was offering significantly more than that. It's not worth selling to us.

[AmatureNIGHT]

Now this website isnt the end all of website value nor does it take into account every single factor. But it gives a baseline value range. Values it close to 50k. Making 6 figures generous.

Those daily page views are off - way, way off.

I understand that. If you can afford not to get maximum value out of something you care about. Then don't. It may hold more value to you in keeping it than it does in cold hard currency.

[Kori Ellis]

We have been getting offers for SpursTalk every month for the last five years. We just read them and laugh, and say No Thanks.

[BlackSwordsMan]

200k right now kori

[Darkwaters]

I would be curious to hear a detailed story of how the forum started. I just stumbled upon it one day and thats that.

I'll buy it for a buck.:toast

It's probably not the only reason, but many ads providers also demands certain things, like most notably for ST a stronger moderation of swearing and similar.

:lol at turning moderation and banning into a profit center :tu

Interesting
ST got really big traffic and being liberal makes this traffic. If they want to take it from ST than it's might not be worthy for both sides. But dang all in all traffic is traffic. Why not just take it as it is?


Umm such liberal site and I got almost banned by Kori and some of my posts were delated ... :depressed

That's what makes no sense with advertisers. Wouldn't they wanna advertise on a site with more people visiting? The sites with Nazi regulations don't have anywhere near as many people as this one.

[SlovenianGuy]

This thread seems like a good opportunity to thank Kori and LJ for everything they do to keep ST running. When i first joined Spurstalk in 2004 it already was the best NBA forum and this hasn't changed in six years, that have passed since then.

Thank you both.

[Kobayagi]

I joined in 2005 and I'm still around even though it's been long time since the last guy from Slovenia left the Spurs.

Looking forward to offseason and all the FIBA vs NBA smack we'll be having during FIBA world championships this summer :toast


And yeah, thanks to Kori & timvp for having us.

i'm not sure of the numbers.. but a blog i read regularly (that reaches millions a day, worldwide) and HAS ads is Strobist (http://www.strobist.blogspot.com/).

it's a photography blog, but i know he makes his living off of those ads, and the clicks i'm sure.
