Misc The abandoned East European server room of LJ and Kori Ellis

I can’t even get it to load, and I don’t care enough to put in any more effort than the 30 seconds I just did… I did reject a request for someone to change their name to a play on a homophobic slur… that user is probably more at home at ST anyway
 
Yup that was the one. And yup, it took a hot minute to load. Time would be better spent discussing the Giannis trade scenarios than loading that site.
 
Did a health and wellness check over there. A John Cena post in the spurs forum, some bitch crying about not being able to have a username, not a peep about the OKC win, and the politics forum still the most active. Even the two or three fools still pretending to have a game discussion offed themselves.
Won't even load for me right now so....not much as changed.
 
In my view, the only thing of value at the old site is the two college football threads run by TFloss32. Up to date, informative, and all business. Wish they were on this site.
 
Spurstalk was an awesome place 15 years ago or so. I remember the GTGs at games, Scott's house, my house, and fantasy football. Scott knows that when you're in charge, the amount of complaining you have to deal with makes you question whether it's all worth it or not. It sounds like LJ and Kori decided to sell years ago, and part of that sale required anonymity. It's unfortunate the new owners let it go to crap, but not surprising considering that most had no idea how much Kori and LJ had to do and pay to keep that forum running. I remember some of the old-timers mailing them a check to help defray costs, but I know it was never close to being enough. Kori coming in here and laughing at the idea that she and LJ are getting divorced and telling everyone to have fun is 100% something Kori would write, and I would bet that was the real her.

I'm shocked and ecstatic that Scott has decided to take on this project—the community should consider itself lucky. Awesome seeing the OGs and Newer Gs that made Spurstalk great. I hope and will do my best to help recapture what made Spurstalk a special place, and btw, it definetly wasn't Political Talk.

Thanks for the kind words, but credit where it is due: @Guru of Nothing took the initiative to get this off the ground. He’s the real MVP
 
I had casually posting and reading stuff on spurstalk since 04. Was bummed at its collapse, glad it has been carried over here

It was and is a team effort.
My thanks to all of you who made it happen.
I know many are still processing their grief and anger about how ST went down, but I gotta say that this place is so much better already.
The interface is easier to use, the site actually works, and the very light moderation to remove hateful language is a welcome change.
I lurked over there, almost since the beginning, but only occasionally posted because it was too much a wild west scene for me at times.
I feel much happier to get involved here at BB.
My thanks to all of you who continue to make this site happen.
Where do I donate again?
