Questions About SpursTalk.com

[ShoogarBear]

Would that be a private forum for you and Obi?

Another good idea. A VIP Private Dance forum.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?

I would probably not play myself, but think it would be a cool feature.
I don't see a problem with the ads.
2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff

I would like this for when I have a computer question.
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course
Another useful idea.
Spanish Only - self-explanatory
N/A - since I do not know Spanish.
MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?

I rarely visit the Other Sports forum- have no preference.


Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

I agree.

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section? - Absolutely. If there is anyway to help the folks at Spurstalk maintain Spurstalk, I'm all for it. I wouldn't be bothered by any ads on the page. I say if you can get some cash to meet or exceed costs, do it.

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - sure. sounds great.

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - wouldn't partcipate

Spanish Only - don't you think its a little unnecessary to divide a forum in that aspect? You might as well create a "whites only" or "blacks only" thread.

MMA - I wouldn't mind what you renamed "other sports"

Music - Music and movies can just stay in the club

[George Gervin's Afro]

in the arcade could we play online poker with other members?


or is this a really stupid question?

1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section?
I might play, I'd have no problem with banner ads there.
I do really appreciate that there are no ads in the main forums.
It's refreshing and more pleasant to hang around, for me.

2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:

Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff

I think it could be helpful.
I have no problem with it the Club, but I think it might do well as its own forum.

Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course

I agree it might be hard to regulate. I'd hate to see it become Spam Central. Or maybe that's what you could call it.

Spanish Only - self-explanatory

Not for me.

MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?

I like the Other Sports forum. If MMA needs its own, that's cool. But I do like having a place for "everything else" in sports.

Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.

I'm fine with it in the Club, but I bet this one would take off. There's lots of music conversation on the board, having its own forum could be nice.

Anything else?

Yes. Whatever you decide, as long as ST keeps the atmosphere you've created here I'll be happy. I love it here. And, as always, thank you for the place you've given us.

--K.E.

Oh...and I agree that sigs should have size limits.

I hate flash ads, and I'd most likely have all the games already anyways. The tech forum is a must-have though. For example, it sucks that all video game news is lumped into one thread in The Club just to keep it from disappearing behind all the other talk. A tech forum would allow us to make new threads for different gaming topics without having to worry about them never being read due to being on the bottom of the page or on the second page.

[Hemotivo]

Tech Talk - yes!

Scola Talk

[baseline bum]

Tech Talk - yes!

Scola Talk

Not exactly the same thing. Many posters whose native language is Spanish have asked me about this several times because they are more comfortable writing in Spanish.

[J.T.]

I would prob go in tech talk from time to time to get info on software and stuff but I wouldn't go in there daily like I do NFL and Trolls.

Arcade depends on what games are in there. I'd probably check that out though.

[xamila rey]

^^^ about Spanish forum


yes thats my case, i am more comfortable writing in Spanish than English
but again we are in USA so it is good for me to practice some English.
For those who dont live here, probably will love the idea.
That would bring tons of people for sure, and more diversity to the forum.

Thanks Kori for asking about this!

I never thought about it that way. I'm pretty sure theres a lot of foreign people who lurk and not post only because their English isn't that good.

And timvp also brought up a good idea in having the tech forum combined with the selling forum. Only because most of the stuff I've seen for sale on this forum is electronic.

[whottt]

RE: The Spanish Forum...since most of the posters here don't speak Spanish...prolly not gonna be a lot of support for that...

However, isn't this decision really up to you and those that do speak Spanish?


Are you just trying to figure out if there are enough Spanish speakers here to pull it off?


I imagine if you have a Spanish forum...more Spanish speakers will come.


Our Spanish speakers are pretty lazy about translating the Spanish articles now so maybe a Spanish forum will bring some in that aren't as lazy about that sort of thing

[xamila rey]

what about a Spanglish forum?
so in that way no one would feel restricted.

[whottt]

I say make the tech forum in Spanish...

[J.T.]

I'm white American but I know two languages besides American English and I can see why some people would want to have a Spanish forum. Half of the non-foreign people on here can't even use English correctly anyway. Especially all of you "loosers" out there.

[J.T.]

I say make the tech forum in Spanish...

Make it Arab since if you call tech support for (insert any company here), then that's who you're going to be talking to.

[MagnusKrauss]

i'm new here, but i don't think people come here for the arcade games.

banner ads? sure, why not? if it helps this forum break even, then go for it!

the others forums....tech talk..maybe they'd be better off visiting a real tech forum?

buy/sell/trade.....uhm. will it generate income for the forum?

spanish forums....yes! yes to making this site more foreign-friendly. if you build it, they will come. translations would be welcome.

two birds one stone....

[Trainwreck2100]

i would spend a little time at the arcade and probably not frequent any other of the proposed forums

True..........True

[sprrs]

I'd probably play a few of the games, and I might browse through some of the other forums, the buy/sell/trade forum sounds interesting.

[LEN BIAS 4EVER]

I am new and joined for the simple reason that Spurstalk implied just that, a forum about the Spurs and NBA, as well as other sports. simply put, that's why I joined. It would be unlikely that i would play in an arcade but banner ads sure wound not scare me off. If we could play online poker and bet our vbookie cash (which i have yet to find an event to bet it on) I could see that really taking off.

As for a Spanish forum, i wouldn't be in it but it's not for me and its probably a good idea, their are Spurs fans throughout Latin America. And other forums outside of the sports world i don't look at, their are probably better sites out there for that type of thing in the first place, ie craigslist. Just giving you my honest opinion, hope it helps.

[Hantler]

How about a forum? You can do all your ing in one forum. It would be perfect for all the SR posters to cool off about being banned before they become a ST regular poster.

[Djour Djilios]

How about a forum? You can do all your ing in one forum.

SequSpur and Tpark would never leave there.




How about a SEX forum? We can merge all the topics about who has the best ass and who's wiener is bigger, and who has the best jugs etc.... we can finally get all our daily masturbating fix in one area .
