SpursTalk History

[DPG21920]

I don't trust this DPG21920 character.

Why is that?

[dbreiden83080]

Spurstalk is the best basketball forum around and that is not even close. We get so many fans from other teams that are actually more compfortable talking about their teams here, with Spurs fans then hanging out on their own boards. That says a lot.

Any coincidence that these have been the 5 best years in the history of the franchise? Seriously, after the falling out b/w Kori and Dusty I was like WTF? How are KoriDuncan, timvp, Spurs Fan, and Ghostwriter gone off the internets? Thankfully I got an email from timvp and signed up here about 10 seconds later.

It's pathetic that atlfan25, tx3rdcoastborn, batman34236t325, squid, jaime escalante, Iris Holland, Glen Holland, Rowena, and The Pinoy Pounder aren't still apart of these forums.

As most of you know, I am relatively new to the site. I am disappointed to say that I fell into the rookie trap (I told myself I was going to be the new hot-shot!) of jumping straight in before learning about the site. I have been personal messaging a few people, reading through some of the classic threads and have come to really appreciate this place.

Kori and the others that have been here, thank you for creating this place. It is great to see the collection of personalities, opinions and Spurs information. To those of you that are new, like myself, I encourage you to read through the old threads, get a since of the history behind SpursTalk. There is so much that went into creating this site and many things have had to fall into place in order for SpursTalk to become what it is today.

There are cool people, funny people, knowledgeable people, sensitive people, harsh people and condescending people; all of which endear you more and more to the site as you continue to post. You would be surprised how rich of a history a simple Spurs forum can have and at worst you will read some hilarious posts! This is not only a place to talk Spurs and grow your knowledge of the team you love, but you can learn so much about basketball in general. Networking, making friends and venting are all things that SpursTalk provides besides just Spurs information.

Once again, thank you, and I am looking forward to posting here for a long time!

Im guessing you didnt read through the mma forum and find out who we are...

Back in 2005, durung the NBA Finals, I first visited this site to see what it was like from a Spurs fan's point of view.

After the Finals were over, I hated the Spurs, and I hated anyone who supported them for about a year. I think you can see why.

But, after that first full year of visiting and reading posts and articals, I realized that the Spurs were a classy organization and that their fans were respectful towards others if they showed the same.

Since following the Spurs closer, I've come to admire the way they handle themselves on and off the court. Much like my Pistons.

I can see how hard everyone has worked over the years to make ST such a great place. So after three years of lurking, I decided to join. And I haven't regretted it one bit.

So thank you SpursTalk for being the best sports forum on the web.

[ThunderStix®]

I'll always hope the Spurs win the le if my Pistons don't.

Since the 05' Finals, Ginobili has become one of my favorite players not wearing a Pistons uniform.









BTW, game one of the Spurs/Suns series this year was one of the greatest playoff games ever in my opinion. Tim Duncan is truly amazing.

I was a devoted SpursReport poster for a while. And I have no ill feelings toward SR but this place is so much better, I couldn't help but switch.

Dusty is a cool dude. I don't think he gets a fair shake by some people. He had the vision but imo, SpursReport didn't evolve. It put itself in a box which Kori and Timvp surely did not want to happen to Spurstalk. Hence, this incredible site is arguably the best sports message board on the net.

The way this board welcomes all fans from all teams, a picture of the statue of liberty should be posted at the top. Though I wouldn't mind a permanent ban for Laker fan.

I know Tod is MiB sometimes and myballs is prob princess_pimp or sequ. f7 is either gone or his new material sucks, because there's no one as funny as him right now.

What about The Writer?

[whottt]

f7 is either gone or his new material sucks, because there's no one as funny as him right now.

Yeah...he gets my vote as funniest Spurs poster ever. I haven't seen him since early on in the days of FSP. Seemed like he posted once or twice and then was gone.



This is a great site, my favorite message board ever.

I thought the glory days of message board posting were over when Jim Rome got rid of his forums in 2001...little did I know that the golden age had not even yet begun.

Best forum ever.


I give props to timvp and kori for that...it takes a of a lot of discipline to run a successful message board, and they have done it for a long time now. This board became much bigger than I ever thought it would as well.

Smackchat had the best trolls I've ever seen. Ayatrollah

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah f7 doesn't post as far as I know. What's funny is last time that I talked to him and told him to post more, he said that he didn't think he was a good poster

This board became much bigger than I ever thought it would as well.

In our first six months (when I was posting like 100-150 times a day), I would always tell LJ, "This board is lame ... it gets no traffic. If it's going to suck, I'd rather not have any forum at all." And he used to try to tell me that if we were patient it would flourish. Guess he was right
