Basically, on the Eighth Day, Kori said "Let there be SpursTalk," and then SpursTalk was. And it was good.
I've been a member for a little over a year and have been posting for just a few months (I've visited from time to time before that though), so I don't know much of the history or the people here.
Sooo...I was wondering...how and why did SpursTalk come about? Who exactly is Kori Ellis (and Timvp, who I've gathered to be related to her in some way) and what caused her to create this site (assuming she started it)? What, if anything, do the people who help run this site get out of it, besides satisfaction as a Spurs (and basketball) fan?
(And anyone know if the paypal thing where people could donate a dollar every month or something ever got started up?? There was a thread about that here a couple weeks ago)

Kori and Timvp are married.
Spurstalk sprung out of Spursreport some time ago, because Spursreport are kind of wankers and annoying.
ah...hopefully kori or timvp sees this thread tomorrow, so they could give the whole, detailed lowdown
We're not going back down that road. Spurstalk is here because Spurs fans like to post bull about how much they hate Tony, Pop, etc etc.
Fire Pop and trade Manu plz.
Welcome.
She is the basketball princess who is a reporter for various news outlets the world over.
I think he's some hanger on. Not sure though.
Spurs fans needed a place free from corruption to discuss the Spurs.
We are rewarded with championships
Perhaps sometime soon something will be setup but nothing yet.
Well if you insist on being blunt about it.
I Love Spurstalk
I don't know how long ago I registered but I do know that since I actually started posting a couple months ago it's been like a flood.
I've never found a message board that commands so much of my free time.
Is that sad?
Thanks for the quick answers timvp!
Now that I got the cliffnotes version, I want the full-out essay version--complete with sappy, heart-touching backstories and frustration/anger-filled obstacles, haha
Here's a little more extended version.

Here at Spurstalk, we like to keep it pithy.
I'm Bill O'Reilly. Do hope to see you around. Remember, the spin stops right here, because we're looking out for you.
Please do not be a pecksniffian
Ah, it seems not so long time ago that i started posting in Spurs BBall fan forum. Spring 2002, after been lurking since summer 2000. Those EZboard days of the old Spursreport forum. The memories are still there in my mind, even after three more championship.
The days of KoriDuncan, and then KoriEllis, the break up day, etc. Thx lord that this forum has been created by Kori & LJ, for then i can still post my thoughts about my beloved team, keeping up with the news, and getting insight knowledge from fellow Spurs fans in this forum, without being patronized ala the 'other' forum.
Muchas gracias & best regards from Indonesia.
mikekim is a cool cat, welcome.
I remember gettin an invite via a PM at SpursReport to try out this new Spurs forum, I feel like it was from timvp, but am not sure. From memory the place only had 50 or so members when I signed up, but I recognized a lot of the names, and they were good ones. I think I was one of the few people who posted consistently at both sides because it seemed a lot of people were banned from SpursReport... but over time quality always rises and that place doesn't even cop a visit anymore unless I accidently click the wrong bookmark
2003 live game chats will always be my favourite memory of this place, classic stuff
Much props to Kori and timvp for creating the best Spurs forum on the net, and probably the best basketball forum now I think about it.
Thanks for the refer to the Funny IM thread again.Here's a little more extended version.

Classic stuff.
It could very well have been me.
SpursTalk needs a FAQ.
I started posting in spursreport when the spurs were playing the 2004 playoffs. It was pretty good back then. I lost my access after the 2005 run when I decided to stop posting for a while (pretty bandwagon IMO). When I came back it was all different and now we have spurstalk. I might be wrong with the dates, I'm not sure but I think that was the timeline.
I found spursreport before I found SpursTalk. I lurked a while, finally registered, but only posted there a couple of times. They just seem to have a different mentality there. When I did post it was only about facts, like Duncan's diary being updated or the date for his appearance on "Payback." I never felt comfortable posting "opinions" there, it just didn't feel welcoming.
Once I found SpursTalk there was no looking back. People are accepting here, Kori and timvp have set such a wonderful tone here. It's okay to have a different opinion, it's okay to ask a "stupid" question. You won't get dumped on, unless you post in the troll forum and ask for it!
I scan spursreport occasionally, just to see what they're posting about. It still seems unfriendly, I haven't ever logged in to post again.
No, you can count me in there as well.
IS it just me or did after you join spurstalk you get banned from spursreport. one day I just went back to spurs report to login and it said I was banned.
