Good Suns Board?

[RonMexico]

What kind of a bet is THAT?

It's called a sucker's bet... haha

[RonMexico]

we have plenty of reasonable suns fans that have been here since 05, and a couple of the new ones are levelheaded.

Thank you - now, may I introduce to you the wonderful world of dogfighting?

only if you and Doug Collins take me by the Super Wal-Mart in College Station for beer first.

Enough to get their own board?

I was just saying... the owner of the board didn't sound too endearing to the Suns after saying "F the Suns"

[Despot]

The Spurs and Piston fans here have an odd kind off battlescar kinship and mutual respect. We disagree at times, agree at others, but usually have the same outlook. It's like brothers who have different favorite teams.

...maybe it was just tough love

i think you are forgetting the initial wave of kings fans last year.

possibly, I've only been here for about a year but I do remember a ton of asshole kings fans. And now we're left with the likes of fillmoe.

Suns fans can use the NBA News Central.

That one seriously sucks. I got banned almost right away. I wasn't trolling, just trying to engage people in serious debate. But, whatever.

This is the very first post in the sticky and tells you all you need to know:

those who insist are claiming that us Suns fans do not have a illegitimate gripe and contest any remarks in that regards will be banned. We have every right to rant/vent. This ruling is emphatic expletive, expletive.....

and here is their "playoff policy":

So this is how it's going to work this playoff season.

There is going to be a no-tolerance policy. If you step over the line, the moderators WILL ban you under the following guidelines:

1. If you are a regular poster, you will be given a break solely based on what you did to deserve it. An automatic day-ban will be handed out, and it could become longer after discussion between moderators.

2. If you are not a regular poster, but a fan visiting from another team, and you break the rules, spam, insult the regulars here or cause general mayhem, you will be banned from the site completely.

Finally...if there happens to be a big loss which results in Suns fans being upset and ticked off, we will give you a LITTLE la ude following the game...but it will be cut-off TWO HOURS after the loss and anything after that will be punishable once again by banning. If you do cross a major line during that two-hour period, you could be banned anyways, so do control yourself.

Please...be adults, have good discussions and if you are opposing fans, come here to talk basketball and not turn this place into a three-ring circus.

So, basically unless you suck D'Antoni off you are going to get banned. They should call that board SunsCircleJerk.com.

[Man of Steel]

I've gotten banned so many times from their ty boards I can't even keep count.

BTW--that is an oxymoron, you know.

[Dave McNulla]

They all suck - why do you think I'm here?

Besides, it's much more fun to stir the pot with some debate on the compe ion's turf.

i agree. i have a higher post count on mavstalk than here. but right now, they literally dead (suicide, i think).

reading and not replying is boring. suns forums need to stop being so scared of other teams' fans.

[Shelly]

I'm not quite sure what you said, but it sounds reasonable. Seems like the Suns and Spurs will be seeing each other for a few years to come.

Welcome to the official language of Yuma...Duckese!

[RonMexico]

only if you and Doug Collins take me by the Super Wal-Mart in College Station for beer first.

That might be diffuclt - they only stock 3 kinds right now: cow piss, rat piss, and 'Horn piss.

Budweiser might be coming by the end of July!

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah, phxsuns.net is great, but they don't let new users join.

I don't get this concept. Why do some other forums close new registrations during the playoffs? Several other teams' forums did it last year too. The playoffs are the time you can attract the most new users and hopefully then keep them thereafter.

I can understand closing new registrations for a couple hours after a big loss, so as not to get spammed with trolls and bashers. But closing your forum to new registrations throughout the playoffs is stupid to me.

Anyway, welcome to SpursTalk.

What you say makes perfect sense to people who run a board that promotes discussion from those with different view points. It seems that many other boards are basically run as a sounding board for only the fans of that team to cry to each other and make excuses for losses without rational thought.

[Stargazer]

In their defense, phxsuns.net has been closed all year. My sense is that they don't see it as a public forum at all anymore. They like their group, and are only interested in talking amongst themselves. Which is fine -- it's a decent board to read -- but it gets stale after a while. I already know what everybody is gonna say before and after each game, because they always say the same things. I wouldn't say SpursTalk is balanced (obviously, it's called SPURSTalk for a reason) but at least you get a variety of viewpoints, and there's always somebody around to give you the other side.

It's fun to get my ass handed to me all the time.

Not everybody welcomes fans from other teams.

Not everybody is as pacient like you are with abnoxious posters.

In short, not everybody runs their forums like you do.

That makes sense. They just made it into a private forum that can still be viewed by guests, I guess.

True, I prefer wild group interaction to the circle jerk, I guess.
