Hey Real Deal' Apperently there is a limit on how many + you can give in one day, i would prefer if you only limited the - and not the +s.

Should just make OTR all sports and name it OTRSports. Better idea then joining a network.

All of those with negative feedback should be reset to zero now.

Lol I gave you +ses, look at the bottom of everyones profile when they post in a thread, you will see a + and a - Sign. its in red and green.

Certainly a temporary slogan, but we can stick with it for a while. I've been up for over 24 hours, absolutely no sleep. I did everything I possibly could to find a backup of our old database, but to no avail. Since it became evident that there was no chance of us recovering our 600,000 posts and 2,200 members, I've flipped the switch and made what I consider mandatory changes. We are on a new host, running the newest board software. Every player profile page I created will be checked for coding errors. WordPress will be scrapped for our homepage for the time being, and a new and very basic homepage will be created over time. A new skin will be created over time. Step by step, this place will be rebuilt over time. But my glass isn't half full right now. It's full. The way I see things, my drive to push you (as a community) straight to the top of the food chain is at its peak. Let me remind you that someone just ripped more than four years of hard work away from this site. There were around 20 members with 8,000 posts, possibly three or four over 20,000. If there is any one emotion you should be feeling right now, don't let it be anger. Be determined and focused. Every season you spent on OTR following your favorite team for 82 games or more, posting about them, commenting on rumors and big trades, following them to a playoff berth or even a championship, you made a name for yourself within our community of basketball minds. Then, disrespecting you and everyone else here, it's all wiped clean, sitting you aside as a rookie basketball fan once again and pushing you in the back to do something about it. Since January 2005, we've watched numerous sites fail. Some are hacked. Most are sold. If we're looking for something we've learned over that period of time, it's that there's no way we will break. I know I would carry this site on my back for years, even if we were down to five active posters, because I believe there's nothing that can put us to rest as long as there are leaders and dedicated members. Right now, I'm looking for leaders and dedicated members. Someone wanted you to find a new home as a rookie. I want you and everyone here to rebuild this place as veterans. There's a very large gap between coming here to stir up trouble, and disrespecting our hard work and dedication over the course of four and a half years. If you're pissed off, determined, focused, and/or upset at what took place on Friday, welcome back. It's time to do work.

Did Suns reject Amare for Aldridge?

I sincerely don't see what people see in Nate. Great, what he's done is cool, but I could care less when his team was as dismal as it was last year. He's a glorified scoring guard, and those come a dime a dozen. I would pass, because he has very little qualities other then scoring, and perhaps handling the ball a little.

Offense-Yao Yao can do it all, he has the post up game and he can spot up and shot the mid range jumper. Dwight needs to polish his game, thus far in his career he has used his strenght to power opponets. For him to be successful, he is going to need to develop some go to moves in the post and possibly a jump shooting game. Defense-Dwight Yao is great at altering shots but that is mostly becuase of his 7 foot 6 frame. Dwight is under 7 feet, and he can get up and block shots with the best of them. Dwights speed and strenght makes him an absolute beast on the defensive end he is able to guard in the post and in the perimeter, he can lock down with any opponet one on one. Dwight winning DPOY was no fluke. Rebounding-Dwight Yao needs to work on his defensive rebounding, too many times does he misjudge the ball and fail to grab the ball. Howard scoops up virtually anything that bounces his way whether its on the defensive or offensive side of the ball. Free Throw-Yao Easy decision here, Yao has shot in the 80% range for his whole career whereas Dwight shots around 60%. Athleticism-Dwight No need for explanation. Passing-Yao Both players get alot of double teams so it is necessary for them to be able to find the open shooter. Yao imo is one of the best at finding open guys. Dwight sometimes is off on his timing, and at times is unable to get the ball directly in his teammates hands. I'll give the edge to Yao for now, but I think that after next season Dwight will take over officially as the best big man in that game. Dwights numbers and general athleticism is usually used as criterion for why he is a better center, but the way I see it Yao is the better big man so far.

No. First of all it is so much smarter to just have one forum instead of a bunch of small ones. You can guarantee that they will all be active all the time.

Only positive reps from this point on.

Seriously, it's amazing seeing the amount of dedication that the members of OTR have. Over 100+ members in this little time. This truley shows that no hacker can stop OTR. And by the way, I'm back being active here.

I can only limit the amount of rep points, which counts for both positives and negatives. And I think the limit is either five or ten.

You're lucky I never experienced that.

I don't know, I don't even know how to do that give minuses and pluses to people. But I won't be a jerk and give people minuses if I don't agree with them.

Yeah and so am I, and I think I know who did my ay?

You guys need to deal him for a starting guard and a backup center. It doesn't have to be some all-star guard, just one capable of starting a full season. I wonder if Chicago would be interested, especially if they are losing Gordon and hoping to cut salaries to get Wade in 2010. You could get Hinrich, at least.

wtf u talkin about. see u lata. imma go buy more beer. cops cant catch me.

Stone Cold.

Favorite Team: New York Yankees Favorite Players: Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Ken Griffin Jr., Evan Longoria Least Favorite Team: Boston Red Sox Least Favorite Players: Anyone who plays for redsox Anything Else: go yanks.

Bla Bla Bla what sore losers.

I don't think the Sixers should give up on him that fast. Cheeks used him in completely the wrong way and then he was injured the rest of the year. I am thinking of this season as his first season with the Sixers, give him some time to build some chemistry with his teammates and for Eddie Jordan to figure out what the best way to implement him in the offense.

I don't see why the Knicks aren't on this haha.

You can invite people into your PM conversations...and it's actually like a topic, rather than an individual post.

Allright whos been giving me a negative reputation. What the hell guys? I didnt know this was gonna be such a big issue.

It's called Football not Soccer. Soccer is an insult to the beautiful game of Football.

We could see. Its either the Lakers or Spurs.

Above 50% seeing as he's a little baby that's refusing to play by the rules. This chump should just go back to Europe, save the Wolves and everyone else a whole bunch of headaches.

Yes.

Basketball involves men inflicting pain on one another? I'm not just saying I like FOOTBALL, just saying I don't particularly enjoy watching soccer.

No, it's called soccer and this is a basketball forum so if SOCCER is the only thing you're here to talk about, I'm sure there's plenty of other forums geared towards that extra curricular activity.

So you want to kick me out? Because I enjoy talking Football? You have to learn to understand other things out side of America my friend. I'm here because I want to contribute to the forum in any way okay? And if that to make the Football community big in here so be it, I'm sure Real Deal is fine with that because it's helping the forum out. And I'm also here to talk New York Knicks basketball understand broski?

Oh I'm not offended I think he is the one that's offended but I don't mean him to offend him.

I'm perfectly fine with that. Just stop correcting me when I say soccer, which is what it's called to 99% of us on OTR.

Tell me about it, I know who did it to me, but now I'm -3. Oh well. ^_^

I'm sorry that Peyton Manning had to put his team in a position to come back in the 4th Quarter. And, for the person who said something about "SpyGate", it is honestly over-blown by the media, and most NFL analysts will tell you it didn't make a difference.

Oh maybe we should take out the -s out of the whole thing so there isnt any fights.
