We will be closing the Spurs Dominion on April 20, the day after the end of the Spurs' 2005-06 regular season.
As most of our contributors and readers know, the incompetent idiots at ezboard erased years' worth of data (including the backups we were paying them to maintain) in the middle of the 2005 playoffs. As I posted back then, it was only a matter of time before we closed or moved the forum in the wake of the catastrophic data loss. The forum has been limping along for almost a year now as a shadow of its former self. In that time, my interest in posting has not been rekindled. Because I will not be providing in-depth coverage of the forthcoming playoffs and NBA draft as I've done in the past, this seems as good a time as any to call it quits.
When the Spurs Dominion shuts down, I will lock down the entire forum to prevent any shenanigans from spammers and disruptors. At present, I plan to leave our collection of Spurs and NBA links in place. If there's any other content from the forum that you'd like to retain, please copy it before April 20. I may eventually delete all threads except this one.
For anyone looking for a new home, I encourage you to check out the forums at SpursCentral and SpursTalk, both of which are run by folks who have always been supportive of us. If you plan to migrate to another site, please post your "forwarding address" in this thread, especially if you're planning a new blog/forum/etc.
SavoryJohnson and I founded the Spurs Dominion in November 2001 to provide a haven from the heavy-handed moderation and other garbage associated with Spurs Report. Since that time, we have been blessed with some of the finest contributors from all of Spurs and NBA fandom. I am proud of our role in pioneering a shared resource for smart Spurs fans -- no matter what their "home" website -- with numerous innovations that have since been adopted by other sites. My sincere thanks go out to everyone who supported us and helped build the community known as the Spurs Dominion.
