    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BluffCityBlue)</div><div class='quotemain'>You dont understand.....we dont want to be like realgm, or a allsports forum...we want a bball community and it seems that you are trying to make this into a huge site...which we dont want. We want acommunity, and large sites arent communitues</div>This is what we're trying to achieve. In my former messageboard, I enjoyed a community of about 10,000 members that discussed basketball, but as the site grew larger, posters began sticking to one team forum and not interacting as much throughout the entire site. The administrators and staff of SportsTwo feel that we can do better. We plan to take a community and expand it to cover multiple sports. We realize that the main draw of messageboards is to be able to discuss sports, in your case, basketball, with people that you are familiar with. We do not want to break up your community, but we want to see it grow to a point in which you can stop by any forum and discuss any topic with people that you know...people within your community. </p>

    About 4000 of them didn't post at all. We had about 50 active members, which was great.

    He's no part of this going forward. He's history.</p>

    BTW, I live in Vegas and went to the summer league games a couple of weekends ago. I sat right next to Mitch Kupchak during the Lakers' game. I was wearing my Bulls hat. I almost got my friend to take a picture of me shaking his hand. I'd post it here with the caption: Denny and Mitch seal the deal for the Kobe trade.</p>

    Regards</p>

    Yeah you guys seriously should ask for a refund. Because I don't think anyone has intentions to be active here.

    Sure</p>

    The answer to Reppin's question is that as a larger entity with more than message board content, S2 can survive in a way we'll never have to sell. As a standalone thing with 50 posters and just a message board, it won't make enough money to pay its own bills. You've already found out, first hand, how it sucks when it doesn't pay its own bills. Sold twice now?</p>

    Maybe this sounds "corporate" or whatever, but it's just plain common sense. Cover your expenses and you control your own destiny.</p>

    I don't blame the new admins for this. Not their fault whatsoever. This place doens't feel like home DESPITE it being basically the same. I have PM'd some of the BBW members about a possible new forum. I may have missed you. PM me, e-mail me or add me on MSN at chris_dingwell@hotmail.com...

    Maybe we are all overreacting. Maybe it was a financial issue he had to deal with, because of a health issue or something? I hope so, then I could be forgiving... but in reality, this is nothing but complete betrayal
