Kori, LJ... SpursTalk has gone down the proverbial toilet.

[TheWriter]

As some one who has been here since nearly the beginning, I am absolutely saddened at what this site has become. I know you guys have had the policy of limited moderation since the beginning but because of that policy, the inmates now ruin the asylum.

Before, Mouse and his trolling was the were expectation while the board talked Spurs and sports. Intellectual discussions were had. Now, it's girls trolling trolls and racists being racists and s being s and oh hey, there's a semi well thought out Spurs post... a now it's been reduced to a fest of juvenile bile.

The NBA forum used to be the wastepin for idiots, trolls and racists. It was called downstairs for a reason. Now, this place is a single story dwelling.

I know LJ had/has health problems and you have a growing family but your absence to this forum has been it's downfall.

It's sad that a place like reddit has exponentially better spurs and sports discussion. But I guess that's what happens when you have proper moderation and self regulation.

I doubt much will come of my rant besides a bunch of pathetic trolls insulting me, so I don't even know why I'm doing this.

Shrug.

Btw, calling out the owners of the site and broadcasting that you essentially think their forum is a piece of is very tactful of you.

I definitely wouldn't have saved this for PM either.

If they still own it (or control it) I have wondered the same thing.

I have not visited during a game during the last half of the playoffs because I cannot abide the trash that gets spewed toward other posters, our own players, etc. etc. And I'm not talking about taking a player to task. I'm talking about trashing our own team and spewing porn and vitriol and not getting called out for it by the moderators, publicly.

I use the ptr in-game anymore, or nothing at all. They have, and enforce, some decent rules. I don't know why the moderators have let this get so out of control.

I would encourage them to simply shut it down if they can't control it better than this, tbh.

But the only control any of us have is not to participate. And if none of us who aspire to better discussions participate, then we just let it go down the toilet ourselves.

There are still a lot of good posters here that know a lot about basketball.. If you hate it so much just leave.

[davidbowie]

the high activity and lack of moderation is what makes this place worth coming to everyday tbh

This.

This site will get predictable with all the homer threads like...

"Manu vs MJ, who is more compe ive"
"Can Pop figure out what happens when you get sucked into a black hole?"
"Could Timmy beat the Dream Team by himself?"
"That Jeff Ayres can sure rebound. Our FO are geniuses"

[AFBlue]

Request to take over the site and moderate it if you're concerned. It's clear every moderator has left this site so it can die. Maybe they didn't expect such a slow, -filled death tbqh. Either way, they're not coming back to save anything. Someone else is gonna have to step up.

TheWriter and Buddy Holly are the San Antonio heroes this forum needs

Yeah, before you joined to spread your brilliant truth bombs, this place was nothing but a bunch of FO shills that didn't debate or discuss anything of substance.

Him, Skull-1, and James Evans.

They are actually all the same person with different user names.

Is tholdren your 2nd account? Y'all post same quality threads

[Darius Bieber]

Lol if you think a place like Reddit is better for Sports discussion, you're an idiot. That place is nothing more than salty fans complaining about other salty fans.

[unleashbaynes]

Spurstalk.com was never good you whiny just better than the alternatives

[baseline bum]

Spurstalk was classy until 06 tbh

[Knoxxx]

This board is great running self moderated. Further, the most immature posters have grown up considerably and dont swear just because they can very often anymore. I have been on over moderated boards and they are horrible.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

This is the real problem in general.

Agree completely. This place became a dump.
