I think all of us were disappointed. But we can't just hang around here waiting for some hack who keeps promising to fix things to not fix things. LJ and Kori walked away. It was a great run but it's over. Time to take some of the old and put it into something new and reinvent ourselves
The Spurs feel to be as deep as they have been over the past 10 years.
You should be disappointed with whoever manages this site. They let it die. They refused to update it even with several promises of doing so. This site is constantly being bombarded with bots with no end in sight. Then it went offline for almost a whole month before anyone who manages it noticed. It's a terrible way of running things, and this is with several members saying they could help financially and on the tech side of things. It's sad, because there were a ton of memories here... but no fault of the posters here.
Pasted the wrong video
TBH, the complete lack of care was as bad, if not worse, than the site malfunction. It took BaselineBums.com like 90 minutes to achieve full season funding from members of the community and fundraiser was closed before most of us could even chip in, site is being configured and managed by members of the community and it's already way ahead in terms of looks and functionality.
People pitch in with suggestions and offers of every kind, and these are the same people who offered (almost desperately) financial and technical help for almost two years, discussed these issues and possible solutions here in the open for everyone to see, wrote emails and PM'd to every person/account they knew of, every communication channel supposedly available with owners/admins they could think of, offered to buy the site or run it. You can now know for a fact everyone here meant every word they said, every offer they made, they just... were ghosted. Not a one liner reply, other than a random post every couple of year from an account that seems to speak for the owners but isn't backed by them through words or action, might as well assume it's a troll job for all we know. An updated platform can't undo any of that.
All in all, I'm grateful for all the years SpursTalk provided an awesome space for Spurs discussion but at this point I can only assume either timvp / KoriEllis don't own this site anymore or don't care / moved on. It was a free service, and no one is forced to provide a free service if they don't want to, the same way people can leave if they feel ghosted / neglected. Just wish things had been handled differently.
