What got you to Spurstalk?

[TE]

If this thread exists, my bad in advance.

I remember once posting several times at Spursreport only to be banned. The mods there are completely anal if you write something that they think is of trolling character. I then started to roam around Spurstalk for some time before finally making an account (yours truly).

[IronMexican]

Someone linked this forum right after the Lakers beat the Jazz in 2008. Also linked it to some Hornets forum. Stayed here.

I pretty much lurked on Spursreport for a couple years until I found this place then I lurked here for a year or so before actually creating an account and started to post.

[dallaskd]

mavtalk sucked

[4>0rings]

I kept getting banned at Spursreport.

[ALVAREZ6]

posted at the forum on manu's site, and another poster by the name of, you may know her, angel_luv made the recommendation.

:toast angel_luv. I hope you don't hate me now that my opinion on religion is rather well known :lol

[Slydragon]

My brother showed me the site and I lurk for what seemed forever before making my account on 04-20-2005. I don't know how my brother found the site but to this day he still lurks and has never made a account.

I hardly post myself (3,696post since 05), I mostly just read, I mean some users have 2-10x more post count than me with way less years.

[mouse]

For me It was totally by accident, I was really trying to type Spurs Report.

[DJ Mbenga]

i think the lakers were playing the blazers. in the gamethread people were going nuts after fernandez was fouled and it caused a fight. i joined in and had fun with the insults

[CuckingFunt]

Someone linked the Nash photoshop thread to the Kings board I frequent and I started lurking then. Finally started an account a few months later to post in the Rate Her thread in the then unprotected Trolls Forum. Ended up sticking around after getting embroiled in loooooong, drawn out arguments with a number of members from the aforementioned Kings board who got banned and came here to act like whiney babies.

[mouse]

mavtalk sucked

MavTalk itself really didn't suck if you think about it.... my honest opinion is......

It basically wasn't run properly,... also the Mods allowed they're huge ego's determine which posters views deserved to be seen and replied too in a public forum..........I feel banning many honest opinions people had they thus burned many bridges (me included) ...... and by doing so, they starved themselves of precious online success.

[Strike]

Going to Spursreport led me here. Pretty sure some other poster there mentioned ST and once I checked it out, Spursreport ceased to exist to me.

[Stringer_Bell]

I joined after the Spurs lost in the playoffs to post my appreciation for Timmy, but I had been lurking for a few months. I noticed a lot of posters had TV/film character names, but it didn't occur to me that they were trolls...so I chose this account name without thinking I'd be considered a troll. Yet I am. :(

To this day, I assumed you were.

And I made the trek from SR after the ban stick started coming down HARD on some of my favorite posters. I didn't get banned until a few months back (after not posting for years) when I took a subtle jab at that insufferable fuckstick Jason R who was complaining on SR about getting a thread closed on ST.

[mrsmaalox]

04/05 was my first season as a Spurs fan, or even a basketball fan. I found ST and SR on Google cuz I wanted to learn more about the game and the team. Perused both sites for one day and stuck with ST. I lurked for over a year before I registered. Never been back to SR.

[stretch]

some people at a mavs forum thought it would be fun to start trolling some random forums, like a jazz, rockets, and phoenix forum, then this one came up. as i posted some lame-ass troll threads and looked like an assfucker in the process, I realized that this site was 100000x better than that shithole of a mavs forum i was previously posting at, so i decided to stay here for good.

[admiralsnackbar]

that insufferable fuckstick Jason R

Thaaaaaaat fuckin' guy... :lol

I remember when he wasn't clowning himself by being hypocritically sanctimonious, baiting the Argentinians from behind Dusty's apron strings, or pretending his "SR Reporter" tagline meant he didn't actually work at Freebirds, he'd share his experiences of going on SciFi channel-style ghost hunts.

And not once an invite :(

Anyway, I ended up here for the same reason as Fpoonsie. Minimal power corrupted some mods there absolutely, and they chased all the good people away.

[The Gemini Method]

I saw it linked in another message board...decided to see what the locals had to say...lurked for a year or so and then voila! Enjoyed the conversing amongst all the different fans and decided to join.

I remember noticing that all of my favorite posters at SR were gone. I wondered where they went and was ready to quit the internets for good. Then, as if by miracle, I got a note in my inbox suggesting that I check out SpursTalk. Suddenly, there were all of my favorite posters again! Aside from getting a daily education on the world, I again had an outlet for my devotion to passing countless hours pontificating on any number of subjects. I truly rejoiced.

Back in 2004 I had a pretty unhealthy obsession with Sean Marks and thought for certain that the internet had to have like minded individuals who could give pointers on how to do things like find out where he lived, perhaps steal his mail so that I'd have an excuse to talk to him and ultimately become best friends for the rest of our lives. So I did what anyone would do and typed in SpurStalk.com.

Six years, one mistrial, and a whole lot of medication later I'm proud to say that I'm still here.

I got banned under 3 usernames there and i never considered what i was doing as trolling. as far as basketball talk goes there its great and probably better than ST but the mods there i agree have a huge ego and if they don't like what you have to say they ban you basically. they disregard anything you say unless your in the mavtalk clique which consists of about 20 posters and the mods

SR was frequently down and was over moderated. A lot of the posters I liked reading had left as well. It was also annoying around 04-05 that they had one or two so called insiders predicting trades and signings that never panned out. Wondered why they had any credibility among SR masses after striking out so often.

I forgot the guy's name, but at one time their inside source/mod actually did know details about the inner workings of the team. He got a new job, though (right around 04-05, IIRC) after which the quality of his info soon dried up. Wonder what happened to him, actually. Smart guy.

I found one of Sequ's threads while google searching something. I lurked for about one or two months and then finally created an account to talk shit to Tpark. I ended up liking Tpark and sequ, but for the first few months of being here I spent a lot of time talking shit to both of them.

Back then it was more common to see guys like Marcus Bryant, Ghostwriter, exstatic, Chumpdumer, Tpark, aggiehoopsfan and more of the older guys posting. It's definitely a different era now. ST has just really blown up. Say what you will, but ST is easily one of the top NBA fan forums on the internets. No question.

I actually saw Spursreport on a google search once before I joined here and thought it looked whack as hell.

I'd watch every once in awhile and I still do...but I mostly posted in the OT over there because the place was hilarious. Then everyone got banned and it wasn't all that fun. It used to be like what the NBA forum is here if you made everyone in there a mav fan and multiplied the amount of posters by 10.

[BlackSwordsMan]

all of those guys you miss moved on off shoots thats where I post mostly. TCM, FWI, etc but even now they've died recently.

Google.

[monosylab1k]

stretch told me about the FWST forums. I posted there mainly to troll Cowboys fans, even though in the end I knew way more about their own team than they did. Eventually they got taken down, and then stretch told me about this place. I came to troll after the 06 WCSF and honestly I really didn't like this place back then (because everybody back then had the same GNSF-like opinions), but eventually I realized this was a pretty fun place so I stuck around.

[monosylab1k]

tbh back in 2006 if you ever made it a point to laugh at a phrase like "spurs=class" or "lol _irk Noringski", literally every spurs fan on the site would be on your ass because if you didn't believe spurs=class then you're just some classless _allas fan with no life cuz you're NOT a SPURS fan but you're posting on a SPURS message board!

Every Spurs fan here in 06 posted exactly like GNSF does now. I'm just glad you guys evolved.

[tlongIII]

One day mom decided to send me by plane back to Oregon because she said my dad lived there. When I got there I didn't know anyone but remembered that my mom said he liked hooking up with animals and young Asian boys. I didn't know what that meant but this man let me stay with him and he said I reminded him of a friend. So after he gave me some Dr pepper that tasted flat the next thing I knew he said I fell bottom first on his broom while cleaning. After he helped me get dressed he said he found a pic of the guy he was talking about. It was my dad without a shirt in a bathroom almost identical to the one my mom gave me except mine had a boy drawing on his belly or something. Anyway that pic was on this site and brought me and my daddy together.

I am a little unclear about the actual chronology of events, but I know I used to post on SR.com and I think it was linked to the WOAI page at the time. Then they de-linked the two and SR was down for about 3 or 4 weeks and I kept looking for another message board. I don't remember if ST was then linked to WOAI or if I just found it. Either way, I know I was an OG member since my spur tells me so.

A lot less shit :D

[stretch]

tbqh, i think its arguable that the 05-06 Spurs were the best Spurs team ever. They just ran into a motivated Mavs team who matched up extremely well with the Spurs, and were barely on the wrong end of the stick at the end of perhaps one of the 3 greatest and most competitive playoff series of all time.

But that Spurs team had some incredible chemistry and balance. I don't think I've ever been as intimidated by a Spurs team as I was that year. To me its a toss-up between the 05-06 Spurs squad, and the 04-05 Spurs squad. Both were quite tough.

I know people will say "05-06 Spurs didnt win a championship so they dont belong in the discussion of best Spurs team ever", but thats a bunch of crap. We already know that there have been a number of teams in NBA history that didnt win the NBA title, that in other seasons, could steamroll their way to a title, such as some of those Jazz teams who had the misfortune of running into the Bulls, or the years that the Lakers/Celtics were constantly duking it out against each other in the 80s, or even some of those Kings teams in the early 2000s. Applies in other sports as well, such as the 2007 Pats, who honestly would probably win 8 out of 10 times against the Giants, or the 2001 Rams who would probably win 8 out of 10 times against the Pats, or the 97 Packers who would probably win 8 out of 10 times against the Broncos.

[DarkReign]

A lot less shit :D
