    Nothing else going on in sports. The dead zone... except on SpursTalk where the fun never ends.

    What caused that? Did an article get linked from another site, or something?

    I believe it's mostly coming from Google image search. Since NY Post or whoever broke the news that RJ called off his wedding, many people are searching for pictures of RJ/the girl and that's leading them to one of the SpursTalk threads about his signing.

    Kori, just out of curiosity, how do you guys fund the bandwidth?

    Most forums like this that grow exponentially usually post a bunch of damn ads all over the place.

    It's nice that you guys haven't, but is there another way of enjoying in the successes for you and LJ monetarily?

    Yeah, that makes sense. I bet there were 4000+ people viewing that thread earlier.

    What kind of bandwidth does ST churn out a day? This site is my internet home and the only one I go to more than this one is google. That's saying a lot. Props to you and LJ.

    Yeah the traffic is to the point, we could make some serious money off it, if we put up ads. But I really hate the forums with ads everywhere, so I have always avoided it. I can't deny though that it would be nice to even come close to breaking even on the forums by earning some kind of money.

    People always ask me if there is a way to contribute. Maybe we'll come up with something before the season starts. But I'm never going to litter the forum with a bunch of ads (well, at least not the Spurs section )

    that's awesome .

    pisses me off how some people think in terms of business for everything and ruin things for people (see: paying for Summer League on NBA.com).

    I think you certainly need to find a way to profit from this, but I commend your hesitancy to littler the board with Ads like most forums do.

    I don't have the answer, I was just wondering how you guys were funding the site without all the ads which is likely none of my business.

    It's currently funded from our bank account and has been for 6 years. We bought two servers a couple years back and it's run on a dual-server system (only real way to handle all the traffic without lag or downtime).

    Just have some ads that stay in one place and don't move, I don't mind mind those. for example: in the forum index, one at the top of the page, one in one side other in the bottom, things like that. I hate that ads that pop up every time you go to a new window.

    P/S: I don't know if I make my self clear is very tough to try to express yourself in your second lenguage while beign slightly drunk.

    That's crazy. Create a Mavs forum or something and just make it hideously full of ads.
