I know of a better one, but will leave it anonymous.
I wouldn't put it quite that strongly but WTFDetroit is definitely the best of the bunch.

Isn't that what the rest of the country was saying after the Malice at the Palace?WTFDetroit
The Difference is its the Official Forum for the Pistons. It must be moderated heavily or it will be taken down.
SPURSTALK>>>>>>>>anybodys board
There's at least 15 - 20 very intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable Piston posters posting at ST. You should start you own board and take Kori's example on how to run it.
From what I hear, that's how ST started back in the days where it was known as simply FSP.
Baby steps, my friends, baby steps.
What's a board cost to maintain like this? If it was worth the investment, I might think about it.. but I don't know much about the technical aspect of these things. And, one would assume that somehow Kori's making money off this, or at least not spending a lot to have it around. Any info might be worth looking into, so if Kori or Tim sees this, I might be intersted in exploring the options. I think what smeagol says has some validity.
Yeah, I wish. Running the board costs more than our season tickets. And I'm like 20 rows up from the court. But it's fun and it's a cool hobby for Kori and I.And, one would assume that somehow Kori's making money off this, or at least not spending a lot to have it around.
If you want to start a Pistons message board, private message me after this series and perhaps we can expand on ShoogarBear's idea.
the T Wolves Pacers and other boards fell by the wayside.
But I have a feeling a Piston board would work.
Good luck with that.
I'm moderating there, now, and I do my best to promote better basketball discussion.
We are limited, with language, because its the Pistons.com official website. Therefore, you cannot use excessive vulgarity. That is why I delete many posts.
As said, this board is the best I've been to.
Is Jeff still around? You realize he's STILL got me banned? I hate that guy. I don't think I'd go back if they rolled the carpets out
See, and this would provide T Park with something to do for the next year . . . posting on the Pistons board as C Bill.
More then Season Tickets?? Seriously? Thats crazy. I own and have owned a few boards myself but their daily traffic is probably what this board gets in 5 minutes...so obviously its cheap.
I assume you run your own Server and everything, any idea how many GB's a month you use for bandwith?
I thought about starting something similar to this board for a bunch of teams a while back, and as they catch on grow to all 30 teams and host them on a few servers. I like Vbulletin, and the whole Vbookie thing and favorite team thing you guys got on here, I am used to PHP so haven't experienced that so much.
I was also curious why there are no ads anywhere? I mean obviously it could be a distraction but placed right and i'm sure nobody would mind, aye? You could probably rake in a good couple thousand bucks a month.
STT:
When I speak negatively about the boards, it is not necessarily intended as a negative to all the people there or all the people in charge. As a long time admin, I understand what you go through trying to keep it up. My biggest problem with it all is the younger posts and posters. It just doesn't have the feel of a mature basketball community. But again, I do not put that blame on you, X factor, darko or any of the other mods.
I'm already looking forward to the "who can guess T Park's alias first" game.
See, and this would provide T Park with something to do for the next year . . . posting on the Pistons board as C Bill.
having some piston fans here would be cool all year
they can post in the NBA FORUM
pistons could be the spurs biggest challanges for a few more years
pistons do have some question marks though if larry quits on them
I posted a couple times on the WTFDETROIT site.
I must say, the people there are as good as any I've seen. Knowledgeable, mature and respectful. The site is well laid out too.
Unfortunately, it just doesn't get much traffic, and I stopped going there after the first coupla days...just not enough happening. With such a great name, and great people, that's just a shame.
This site is pretty cool. I may hang around for a while and see what happens.
