Yeah, I have RGM as my backup site, and I go there for the general trade discussions. It takes a while to get used to due both to how sterilized it is and how the majority have all adopted a certain level of group think about players. The mod for the Spurs over there is a Green critic and wanted to trade him all off-season. He even wanted to bench him for Simmons. You know I can't work under those conditions.

I mean, I think we should all agree to have RealGM as the backup plan to ST. 1) You know it's stable since it's so huge 2) You get access to team boards for most sports clubs 3) They don't seem to hate STers over there like they do most other places 4) The Spurs forum over there is dead, but the mod there is really active and deserves to have some more people posting so it's not just him talking to himself. 5) We could take over that shit.

Then i was like "what the crap" when i saw it down

went to facebook and searched spurstalk...nothing
went to spursreport to look for a post from someone here...nothing
went to poundtherock...nothing
went to realgm and actually saw a post from chinook, and kept me with a slim hope for some reason
kept refreshing spurstalk...nothing. just a bunch of links to nba and spurs stuff.

i had to find out about boban going to the pistons from a co-worker, i'm always the first one to find out. but without my spurstalk, i was out of the loop lol

then i refreshed again and bam there it is.

as much as i feel like this site could be better with all the trolling and what not, its still by far the best spurs fan forum on the net

Yeah. I made mine after Kori and timvp dropped off the face of the Earth. I thought it was just a matter of time, and I wanted to be through that process and have enough time there that I wasn't deleted as part of an anti-ST backlash. That's why I am suggesting making the plan now so we can all be through that.

I'm up for a different plan, but I think if we posted there every once in a while, the mod would relax a bit. After all, if pretty much the whole forum wants it one way, who is the mod to stand in their way?

I would seriously consider funding and starting my own Spurs message board, but not sure if that makes sense until after ST goes away (if it does).

I would need to research the cost of starting something like this and keeping it up and running server wise (for growth of users as well), but not sure if I would want to try and take users from ST when it's running - more about if it's sold or goes down.

I have never really used the Spurs board there, though..

You probably have and just confused it with the Canadian tundra. Have you been to their Trades and Transactions Board? That's by far the most useful board that I've found there. They break news pretty fast, and they have a couple of decent insiders who post there, one of whom is a Deeks-level cap guy.

I just hope that if Kori and timvp don't want to host this anymore that they let us know and hopefully work with someone to keep it running. Hell, if it were just a matter of money, I'm sure they could easily raise the funds just by asking.

My only concern (and may be theirs) is what, if any, liability is there to owning this broad? I know they have had police reach out to them about things said on the board, etc...that might be a big factor.

Yes, but imagine coming to this site and not having to be exposed to the vileness. I can't even come to this site on my work computer, and I can't even let my wife see what I'm reading half the time. It's an embarrassment.

Let's hope the new owners make this a positive place for Spurs fans to interact and get lightning fast news, breakdowns, and analysis without being subjected to racist, sexist, homophobic, and generally vulgar commentary and imagery.

This is when "Keepin' it real" goes wrong.

While I like the freedom of speech, I enjoy people that call you out on some takes. It makes you step your game up.

But it's true this is not a respectable site, it's more like a cult following of the Spurs filled with the dirt that's not in most "vanilla" sites. I think with a little polish and some cleaning up we can attract a larger group but it's hard when people feel uncomfortable to post here. I know some takes are terrible and homerish but some education is some store. Don't really need the profanity or sexism, racist comments etc.

If it happens cool, if not, I still have the ignore button. Just my opinion.

The board definitely goes overboard at times (hell, a lot of the time :lol ), but I'll take what we have here over some boring, over-moderated board any day of the week. Yeah there's some shit-tier trolling that goes on but all in all it's one of the most entertaining/enjoyable forums I've ever posted on and I hope it stays that way.

Dang I wish I had known it was for sale. I would've gladly bought this site, and probably could've paid a higher price than whatever Kori and Tim received.

And other than probably banning dabomb, our resident disabled member, I would've kept this place in it's unmoderated glory.

To those posters complaining about the racist and other ugly content on the site, I have sympathy, but you have to take the good with the bad. A true man's sport site needs to be a place where you can get true analysis, and a bunch of irreverence, venting and masculine humor. Plus, the PC SJW nonsense that plagues realGM and reddit is too suffocating for freedom of thought.

Are there going to be ads now?

You could never sell ads to this site as long as it is run as an unmoderated site for all practical purposes. No advertiser would want to be associated with the racism, sexism, name calling, profanity and general nastiness by immature children out of control that is exhibited on this site daily. Someone once posted a GIF as a sig that showed a naked man back view, skateboarding down a street with shit coming out of his ass. It stayed on the board with every post for days. Who will advertise on a site like this? No one because the risk is too great for a viewership of less than 500 members daily.

A corollary of this is that it will never grow to a site with enough members to make it attractive to advertisers because so many folks are turned off by all the factors cited above.

I'm frankly surprised that anyone bought it. It certainly can't be purchased as a money making proposition without basically running off those who want a completely unmoderated site without any cleanup. It must've been bought as a hobby by someone who is a member of the site and wants to see it continue as a hobby.

I've been here for many years, either as a guest or a member - I'm neither a racist, sexist, or homophobe - just a Spurs fan seeking intelligent basketball talk, something that's limited out there contrary to what you may believe.

Also, it's the biggest because it's the best, not the other way around - don't church it up.
