i offered to help run this place.
I don't post as much anymore, but it did seem like the quality posters here did take a breather this season. I figured that they did have some problems elsewhere that would require their attention.
It has been said that the Spurs don't really re-tool, they just reload. The same could be said for this forum.
The season has just started, just relax and enjoy the Spurs.
What does that sup mean?
I don't know if timvp called me an emo or not
Kori locked the thread up, then timvp opened it again. Funny there.
Excellent post that everyone should read.For the record, I hope stéphane returns. I don't blame anyone for getting upset with low quality since the bar should be set high. If trash is tolerated, then there's a problem. stéphane is a quality poster and this thread, while filled with emo jibberish (sup poland), has helped locate a few areas that need improving.
I blame any problems a lot on a perfect storm that has hurt ST in November.
1) TP started off bad which brought out the TP bashers. The TP bashers are surprisingly huge in numbers and include fans which are otherwise quality fans. Nothing gets quite as lame as when TP bashers are in full force.
2) Manu is hurt again. That is a double whammy because it makes the Church of Manu defensive and it brings out the Spurs fans who have been wanting Manu traded the last few seasons. (Actually, make it a triple whammy because the Spurs are less exciting when Manu isn't playing and that causes less quality discussion.)
3) As whottt mentioned, the past points of arguments aren't around anymore. Holt isn't cheap, everyone knows Finley isn't that good, Brent Barry isn't Basketball Jesus, the Spurs addressed just about all the needs their fans wanted them to address and there isn't really a controversial whipping boy on the team anymore. And with the new points of arguments not established yet early in the season, there's no real entertaining interaction at this point.
4) timvp and Kori Ellis have had to deal with an ungodly amount of issues in the last few months. Maybe one day we can explain it all but suffice to say that ST has had to take a back seat. Recently, another even surfaced that required even more attention. Hopefully we'll soon be free to spend our regular amount of times on the forum.
5) A number of other quality posters are dealing with issues that force them to not be on the board as much as in the past. Thankfully, as far as I know, most of the situations are short-term and they should be back.
6) The downfall of you know where results in more trash surfacing over here. Since this is really the first season where that place is totally uninhabitable, it's going to take some time to isolate the unwanted refuges. At that point, either they will adapt and up their game or they will be dealt with properly.
7) The weird Spurs schedule has included a number of long breaks, which bring out the dumbest of the dumb threads. With nothing substantial to discuss since it was already discussed in the offseason, the quality is bound to deteriorate.
8) As Kori mentioned earlier, the end of the run is in sight. Due to that, the panic is going to be greater. There aren't many "next years" left so expect blood pressure to be high.
All combined, it's resulted in a worse than usual November on ST. And I don't blame someone from being upset. Better than not caring.
But I expect it to get better. Quality posters will be returning. spursdotcom is providing insight that we've never gotten before, which should help the level of discussion down the road. And with the highly compe ive NBA landscape, once the Spurs kick it into gear, it's going to be a fascinating run to the rings.
In the end, I figure ST is just a metaphor for broader life - all you have to do is ride the wave that is this wonderful, but eternally fluctuating community.
While I appreciate all that Kori and timvp had to say, I do believe that for any poster who is disappointed in the current quality:
If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
Instead of whining about there not being better threads, make some. Maybe it is time for some of the people who have "used" the site to contribute more to it instead of sitting back expecting everyone else to entertain and to inform them. The best way to up the overall quality is to contribute more high quality posts yourself. If the OP wanted to improve things, I would think some quality contributions would have done far more good than creating the melodrama of announcing one's departure.
That's true. I do not have problems with the sigs (except for Gif images, they make my PC slow) but I don't feel comfortable with all the racial slurs, hate, cursing and foreigners bashing on here.
I have mentioned this some months ago, but then I got these answers by the admins: "Who do you think you are? The forum cop or something?" .
No, I dont want to be a forum cop or something, I dont hate trash talk, that is cool, that of course should be tolerated, but I dont get the hard insults and racial slurs. That makes this forum bad. Sometimes I really dont get how people arent banned for something like that.
But still, It's the best Spurs website around!!Great job
Actually I re-opened it.
Thanks for the clarifications. I also hope that Stéphane will post again soon. oh andFor the record, I hope stéphane returns.

And with the highly compe ive NBA landscape, once the Spurs kick it into gear, it's going to be a fascinating run to the rings.at the "if u don't like don't post anymore" or "gtfoh pussy Stéphane" I think Stéphane and others have posted that way because they care about this terrific forum.
exactly, good job at pointing out the AGAIN part, it is more than a trend with this guy, i said it 4 injuries ago. I SAID IT 4 injuries ago, thats how long ive been saying the same , manu is fragile, he will get hurt again, he is only guy who can do what he does for us and we've ignored our needs in that area because manu is still alive and hasnt died yet. he is hurt again. Manu ginobili is hurt, and you have to be real ing smart to see the trend, one has to be a real basketball expert to have predicted this injuryManu is hurt again. That is a double whammy because it makes the Church of Manu defensive and it brings out the Spurs fans who have been wanting Manu traded the last few seasons. (Actually, make it a triple whammy because the Spurs are less exciting when Manu isn't playing and that causes less quality discussion.)
like ice cube said after the LA riots, the LA ING RIOTS
I told you it would happened and you heard it, read it
but all you could call me was anti-Semitic (argentina)
regret it?-nope, said it?-yep
Listen to my big black boots as I step
i am positive he thought you have to real a ing genius to have seen the riots coming, you had to have been a LAPD community relations expert to have predicted this
manu is hurt again
sorrrrrrrrrrrry senor
The only difference between mookie and a religious nutjob is that mookie does not believe in God.
Aside from that, they both exhibit the same level of stupidity.
manu doesnt believe in god.
What does that sup mean?
I don't know if timvp called me an emo or not
That sounds like a great idea for April fools!!!i offered to help run this place.
To contribute some way... I think that despite our own lown start (not slow), and as timvp said, things should only get better as the season unravels.
Thanks for the clarifications. I also hope that Stéphane will post again soon. oh and
The fact that people have complaints doesn't mean that they don't like this place.
What a sad person this mookie is. Surely he toasted when Manu got injured, he is on the same hate brigade that ducks is.
And let me laugh at you acting tough gangsta.
Don't like Ginobili getting injured? Then write a complain letter to the Spurs management demanding his trade. I'm sure that your expert and smart takes on basketball will be heard.
I would also like to thank you for your xenophobic comments earlier on the thread. You automatically lost any possible argument with those.
What for? I actually thought the thread really ran its course.
Because timvp and I talked about it and decided we should explain it a little more.
but but i am a gangster, im oshea jackson, from LA california???
rofl
i want ginobili to be healthy so the spurs will be the best possible team.
do you understand that statement?
dont just disagree, disect my previous posts, what exactly do you have a problem with?, then we can discuss it
por favor senor
This.
And I'm picking a small sample from this thread only. If you want to, I can go to all the "Oh noes, Manu injured for one week, season is over threads", where you spilled gallons of hate.
I don't know why everybody is getting so butthurt about this thread... obviously people need to start a little drama to get their posts up... so I'll do my fair share and BUMP!
The main reason for low quality of ST is that there is no Slovene player on the Spurs roster. And the result of that great misstake is less Slovene posters here.
Something I rue on a daily basis!The main reason for low quality of ST is that there is no Slovene player on the Spurs roster. And the result of that great misstake is less Slovene posters here.
thats not hate manuslefthand
its all fact
