Mike Taylor forum would be cool we could talk about his show on the radio and he can reply to us during commercials as we answer his questions, while he pimps his forum on the radio giving you more traffic!
How about a "Fire Pop" and "trade Manu" forum? It will cut down on many unwanted topics the first time the spurs lose 2 straight games!

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 not play games but would not mind a games forum with banneres.
2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:
Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff
Yes
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course
Not often
Spanish Only - self-explanatory
yes!
MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?
Don't rename the Other Sports forum MMA. Make an MMA forum instead.
Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.
I would keep these topics in the Club
Anything else?
Tell mookie to STFU already with wanting to make the Troll forum go away
I'll be a frequent TechTalk visitor & active participant should the forum goes online. I've been a long time member of DFI forum, jonnyGURU forum, and recently XtremeSystem forum -ofcourse i'm a mod in my local IT/computer forum in my country.
No, I'm not good at these anyway.
Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff
I Probably would, but I doubt it would get more in-depth than what we are seeing in the Club because we're on this forum primarily for other reasons - and I think it's OK that way.
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course
I don't know, I guess it would be more interesting for US residents anyway. Could be a nightmare to moderate though.
Spanish Only - self-explanatory
No because I don't speak Spanish. Reading about the reasons behind this question I would like to change my answer to NO! I understand it is more comfortable for some posters to write in Spanish, but it would mean that a lot of their input and info would be lost for me - and for that very selfish reason I vote no.
I much rather read interesting posts in bad English as opposed to not be able to read them at all. Posters who are not native English speakers should not be embarassed by their English, even if we have some assholes who will make fun of them because of it - please understand that they (the assholes) are a very small minority.
If memory serves we have read many interesting stuff from foreign posters on ST during past years and I would like it to remain so.
MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?
I don't know what MMA is so no.
Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.
I personnaly like these topics in the Club.
More forums would probably water down the existing ones and not necesseraly create more/better traffic in the new ones. But if you are looking at ideas to get back some of the costs for this site, I'm OK with it.
The arcade section would be cool, especially if we could use our vBookie money to play with (poker, blackjack, slots, etc.)
Tech Talk doesn't bother me either way
B/S/T would be cool, but you would have to make sure that it is understood that you guys are not responsible for any wrong doing in that section.
no to the Spanish section
MMA doesn't bother me at all, keep it the way it is.
Music needs to be in the club, Im pretty lazy when it comes to reading here, I go to the Club and then to the Spurs section, and then Im on to another site, so keeping it simple is better for me.
And I think you guys should have banner ads on everything, you and L J spend stupid money on this site for our entertainment. I think you guys are way overdue to recoup. some of the expense of running ST.
1. If SpursTalk had a built-in arcade section, would you play the games there? Almost certainly, unless they were so lame as to be unplayable.
Would you mind if there were banner ads in that section? No, unless they were those seizure inducing flash banners.
2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:
Tech Talk: Yes.
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote: I'd check it out, probably wouldn't be a lot of action for those of us not in the San Antonio area though.
Spanish Only: My Spanish is pretty horrible, so not really.
MMA: Seems fine keeping it in the Other Sports forum.
Music: Keep it in the club.
It would be good to have new forum named MMA
The 'other sports' should be there as well.
I'm starting to get interest in MMA so you know ...
How about a Troll Forum?
Oh, wait . . .
that's what I was thinking.
If any advise can be helpfull.
There is too much 'trash' on Spurs forum.
One - too much topics not about the spurs. It would be good to put to life the NBA Center moving the topics there. NBA is NBA Spurs are spurs
Two - Too much trash itself - too much useless threads.
I would not mind static ads on SpursTalk as a whole. I put up with them on every other crappy site and it's sure in not going to stop me from coming to 1 of my favorites sites.
What does that even mean?
God forbid if we try to get a baby step closer to breaking even.
Yes you would get a whole lot of OMG topics but once the shock goes away, there will be "I hardly notice them topics" followed by no topics about them because they would just become excepted as part of the site.
Go ahead and try to break even is what I say.
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? Depends on what kind of games there are, but probably. I do hate sites with banner ads...esp the ones that have the flashing or the pop-ups which can get distracting and quite annoying. That is one of the things I love about this forum, it doesn't have all that.
2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:
Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff--Probably not, unless I had a computer problem and needed some geeks to answer it
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course--Hmm, I actually really like this idea. I'm always iffy about selling/buying stuff off Craig's list, ebay, etc cuz you can never trust the person or know how it will turn out. But since I "know" many of the posters on the forum, it'd be easier to do. But one question: Who is going to monitor this if there is a problem? Like I know ebay and sutff have customer service, etc in case something goes wrong...
Spanish Only - self-explanatory--LOL My spanish is rough so probably not.
MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?--Not sure what MMA stands for.
Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me. Sure
Please answer these questions.
Disclaimer: I'm not promising anything discussed in this post. I'm just thinking about some stuff.
Thanks.
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? Cool!!
2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:
Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff Maybe
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course Cool!!
Spanish Only - self-explanatory Nope
--K.E.
So people don't want a forum in Spanish because they don't speak Spanish?
That is a of a reason . . .
I'm apolitical, so I don't want a political forum.
And I'm no Pistons fan, so please make the Piston Forum go away.
And I hate trolling, so the Troll forum should go too
:big ingrolleyes
Let's make the forum in polish !!!
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 them. Banners wouldn't be a problem.
2. Would you frequent any of the following forums if they were added to SpursTalk:
Tech Talk - computers and other geek stuff
Sounds boring
Buy/Sell/Trade/Promote - nothing illegal, of course
yes
Spanish Only - self-explanatory
no
MMA - should I just re-name the "Other Sports" forum MMA? Set up a new forum?
MMA consistently dominates the Other Sports forum. How about a new MMA/Boxing forum???
Music - I think music, tv, entertainment should stay in the Club, but maybe that's just me.
I agree
Tech forum would be nice.
Games, fine.
Other stuff, no opinion
Kori asked if you would "frequent" a Spanish forum, not if you "want" a Spanish forum. Not being able to speak Spanish IS a of a reason not to frequent a Spanish forum.
Let's see.
I don't play arcade games so that is not something that I would use but I think you might have people who would use it quite a bit.
A tech forum is in my view the idea that would generate the most traffic. A lot of the people on forums in genreral would use that.
I don't really like pulling out parts of the club- for example, the music or film things, because I like the general entertainment in the club. One of the things that I have noticed is that when more and more areas are created, then people gripe if they think you put a topic in the wrong forum. People spend time arguing about where a topic should be. It even happens with the Spurs forum and the NBA forum as those ones often cross.
If you create a Spanish only forum will it be for any and all topics that people want to talk about in there? Will it be be Spurs, sports, club,... all in one place? I could see use for that forum but I also see a lot of people posting in there asking people to tell them in English what they are talking about.
Getting involved in buying and selling would probably create more headaches than you want.
Just my two cents-- I think you don't want to lose your core iden y by branching out too much and trying to be everything for everyone.
That is a good reason.
I am not having a good day
MMA / Boxing Forum would be cool...
If you don't know anything about it, just say so...or pretend to and make it obvious...
I would like to see the board formatted for elective cell phone viewing. It would have to be a no picture text driven system.
