Sure thing bro
Hi everyone,
Apologies for the extended downtime and thank you for your patience. We’ve been dealing with hosting issues and, as a result, have decided to upgrade the forum from the legacy Vbulletin platform to Invision Power. The migration is already in progress and will be fully completed before the start of the pre-season.
All existing data will be transferred, and the new forum will be much more stable and reliable. The outdated Vbulletin system has been creating numerous errors and overwhelming our server’s disk space, so this upgrade will eliminate those problems.
The forum will remain ad-free, and we’re excited to share that LJ Ellis will soon begin publishing articles directly to the homepage.
We truly appreciate your understanding as we make these improvements, and we’re committed to providing a smooth, reliable experience moving forward.
Feel free to PM me or email us at [email protected] with any questions as well.
Sure thing bro
Bull response. Doesn’t explain the complete lack of communication historically here. We have no admin presence for years here. Questions go unanswered. False promises made. This place generally ignores the members who contribute positively here.
This without even getting into the rampant racism and bull here.
It’s just completely disrespectful to those that have spent years contributing here.
You remove threads asking people to join another community that cares about its members but can’t delete people shouting racist here. How the does that make sense?
What motivation could we possibly have to stay here?
Bro, it's a free service with no real moderation. Chill homie! Be grateful for once.
Btw, I just saw people shouting the same ###### over on the other forum. No forum is immune even if Biden said so.
You can stay here. For the most part no one wants you at the other place.
Your lack of self-awareness is worse than mine. As well, you've probably celebrated Kirk's assassination you intolerant asshat.
I think you attempting to tank this thread with your political bull is as on brand for the state of this forum as you can possibly be.Your lack of self-awareness is worse than mine. As well, you've probably celebrated Kirk's assassination you intolerant asshat.
Nothing says “stay and be a part of ST” worse than your presence.
Spot on.
Having users that don't do anything other than lowest level rage bait without ever getting modded was tiring.
And the response about forum upgrade is just not it.
Members who've been here for 20+ years have been begging for not even upgrades, but some transparency about what's going on and noone, LJ included, ever even bothered to acknowledge us.
We kept the place alive during the Spurs darkest era and blatant tanking.
Now that the infrastructure fell apart completely and we made a new forum someone decides to revive spurstalk? For what? For it to be left unattended yet again and for these rampant trolls to constantly ruin every topic?
You had years to acknowledge us, but nobody cared.
If you're to ever get this place back to it's former glory step 1 would be completely deleting the political forum garbage. If you want to talk about overwhelming the server's disk space, that's the first place to look.
The audacity to come up with some more promises after trolling us with supposed forum update more than a year ago.Sure thing bro
It's not like much is going on atm, so fix what ya gotta fix.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. ✌️
I'll only believe it if tspence says it tbh.
Glad to see the board's back up. Thanks Kori et al.
ARE WE ALIVE? IS THE NIGHTMARE OVER?!
A lot of people aren’t coming back. I recommend the other place.
Yeah, all the action is at baselinebums now
This place was better off dead.
Spurstalk civil war! Honestly pretty lame to be deleting posts. Hopefully this serves as an example of what terrible communication achieves. Kinda cool that a new forum was made by former members though.
If activity picks back up n relevant info gets posted that gets chatter going people may come back but right now its deader than other place
I am ready to get hurt again
I knew that as soon as SniffVP wants people to read a new article of his, this site will be running again…
Ufff... the site has been in a state of disarray for years:
- When the site wasn't down it was barely usable, taking ages to load or post
- Flame wars ensued with no moderation to speak of, with trolls running amok, driving legitimate posters out
- People were constantly reaching out site ownership / administration by any means they could think of (forum threads and posts, PMs, emails) offering help, I lost track how many times scott offered money (and others seconded him), only to be ghosted.
- Other than your year and a half old post announcing changes that never materialized, you didn't even bother to reply or check the forum since April 2024. Your at the time very welcomed post aged like milk, and became sort of a running joke of how badly we were being trolled, not even knowing if you were a legit admin or not.
I assume the site wasn't lucrative or a high priority and no one should be forced to continue providing a free service if they don't want to, but ghosting and neglecting the SpursTalk community for a year and a half after they've tried everything at their disposal to reach out and contribute sure is a strange way to show "commitment", let alone to ask for "understanding".
I started at SpursReport as mg06, then migrated here when that site imploded, and now we're witnessing this site go down as well. If this is it, thank you SpursTalk for all these years.
Still not 100% sure it was the actual Kori, but on baselinebums she told us her and timvp sold the site a while ago tbh.Ufff... the site has been in a state of disarray for years:
