You too?
Could we not tempt you back?
I post mostly at SpursReport. Not because I hate any of you, but just simply because i was a regular poster there and have met several of their members first. I've talked with Kori several times over pm's, she's awesome.
As a spurs fan , I think it's foolish to insult each other when we are all part of the same team. Wether your a spursreport poster or a spurstalk one.

..it would appear that some of their servers are still down...I know another forum I use has been down since it first happened and is still down...
SpursReport isn't on Planet servers and SR has been down for 2 days before that explosion. So this isn't relevant, but thanks.
I don't know why spursreport is down, but this is a cool site and I can get my spurs fix in here just fine. I love the draft prospects in here, saves me a lot of time. Go Spurs.......
It went down the day after the Spurs lost. Maybe it's down for maintenance
Probably having to run all those advertising scripts per messages times hundreds of posters after the last game really did melt the server. I was having to refresh 2 and 3 times to get just the thread posts to appear after the 2-3 ads kicked in on the first page for the last week of the playoffs. Could have been my browser as well. Who knows? They'll figure it out.
Im from spurs report..I dont really have any preference (we are all spurs fans), but SR is pretty unreliable concerning their server..
Welcome all Spur fans....look, it's hard to switch allegiance, especially when you've got a rep on another site, but Spurs Report has been on the decline for years, so if your gonna make a move, the off-season is as good a time as any....and don't let any of the Spurs homers here get to you, like someone already posted, there are good and bad posters on every site...
SpursTalk is easily a better site, but the draft pages on SpursReport are better in general.
Both places are ok. Don't know what the problem is with SR, but I just need my Spurs fix and this place is pretty cool.
it's back up with this explanation
What Happened To SR?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the Spurs won the championship in 1999, some of you may remember that the site was hacked by some hacker claiming to be a Laker fan.
A few days ago, shortly after the Spurs got eliminated, the forums were attacked using a denial of service tactic. The server was not only shut down, but the hard drive was physically harmed as well, somehow the attackers caused it to go into read only mode, thus rendering the forums useless.
We have taken great measures to prevent this from happening again, but as some of you may know these hacker attacks happen to even the biggest and most popular sites from time to time. Just last week, one of our favorite sites, Revision3 was hit with a similar DOS attack and it knocked them off the web for some time before the FBI was called in to investigate.
We appreciate your patience and understanding and welcome everyone back!
Spread the word!
That goes to show what type of fans the Lakers have.
thats funny
I'm pretty sure timvp got a chuckle out of this one. I know I did.
DOS attacks are the IT equivalent of "the check is in the mail".
Must be the first Denial of Service attack that hacks a hard-drive, and makes the file system read-only.
I wonder if they ever heard of /etc/fstab
The problem with clueless people is that once their system is hacked into, they go into panic mode and don't know what to do. I bet they're paying good money for an 'expert' to reinstall the whole site.
it's back up and running
ms dos attacks, supposedly by laker fans.
pretty sad that their it department would let that happen
must be on a windows server
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at www.spursreport.com Port 80
Probably RHEL running on a VM. I think it was showing a Parallels page a few days ago. Gotta keep up with those security fixes, even on linux.
Good! Just wait till I set off another one as soon as you guys fix this, again.
OMG, Garza is in love with himself. I thought it was just a summer thing.
The hacker excuse is lame and DizzG has used it before. If anyone was that good they would be working for the NSA
But hey!........it works on the non Geeks when you want to not really say what really took place.
Someone brings me a laptop and they can't figure out why it crashed I can just say it was hacked into who are they to disagree?
As far as the tree huggers in this topic saying.."both sites are good! and the same, and they both possess a quality that I enjoy, bla.. bla ..bla.."
ask your selves how long would a topic about ST being down last at SR? and why does SpursTalk still show up as *********?
SR/Dusty/DizzG/LadySpur and others are like 9/11, they will always avoid the real truth.......
Go there now, many posters have vanished.
meaning no disrepect to this site. but i sure hope SR comes back. thou this site is fun as long as you use the ignore feature, i have this feeling they had more adults then kids. behind typing you could be any age. i for one personally have kids and know how they act.(just when you think, alright he or she is making the right moves, boom there goes the diaper coming off) imo debating with adults is alot more fun then debating with kids over the internet. thou ive been using the internet for years now. all the great sites i know come from my kids. i dont except cussing, nor do i except pictures of half naked ladies. i wouldnt want tobe caught discussion a spurs conversation and while scrolling down, one of my younger kids see's big che che's flopping around the screen....call it what you like, i call it good parenting
very well said, its unfortunate that some people just cant control their keyboards. the first time i went into SR, i thought this place aint so bad. the first time i came into this site, my first thoughts were, wow i feel sorry for whoever has to clean this place up everyday. and then i found out its up to you to clean up whatever you dont like about this place. i can live with that.
