You're probably shocked...but this is the new name of the site. OTRBasketball isn't exactly going away, but the name is. After talking with a few people, and seeing the actions of some others (and we won't discuss any of that), I've decided to flip the script and change the name of the site. With this, I'll also be changing the design (in due time), the direction (hopefully), and how I approach certain things that, again, I won't mention right now. Yes, I'm aware that there are still images/banners/text I need to change. Stay patient. I apologize for leaving out a lot of details here, but this needed to be done, as much as it pains me to actually make such a big change (I mean, OTR has been ours since 2005). We are still the same community, and that part is most important. Since the "8th Anniversary" topic was posted, I found out a lot of things about our current members. I took note of the reactions, the changes, etc...and it definitely helped me make this decision, and will assist me in decisions in the near future. It also enlightened me when it comes to who is around to contribute, and who has been waiting for that day we decide to shut and lock the door. So, everyone, please update your bookmarks ASAP. http://www.discusshoops.com/forums Also, join our new Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/discusshoops If you aren't following us on Twitter (the same page as before, just a new name):

Good to see you guys are liking the name change. Trying to find a decent name to change to was stupidly difficult. Ain't going nowhere baby.

In the sidebar, you'll see a link in a box specifically made for the referral system. That is YOUR link. When you recruit, post that link for people to use during registration. When they click on it and register, it adds you as their referral. Understand that I don't want you guys spamming this link, and the number of recruits you have means NOTHING if they aren't going to be active here, so don't give out the link to people that will sign up and talk about badminton tournaments 99% of the time they are here. Also, if you want to name your referrer (from when you were brought here), you can do that by taking your link and replacing the number inside of it with the member ID of the person that brought you here. For example: http://www.discusshoops.com/forums/index.php?app=referrals&reff=1 The "1" at the end of the URL specifies that I'm the referrer (member ID #1). If a current member were to click on that, I believe it adds me as such. Finding member ID's is easy: just hover over their name in the forums, and you'll be able to see it (or, alternatively, just go to their profile and look up at the URL). EDIT: Scratch that last part...doesn't seem like you can do that. Pfft. I'll try and find a way around this.

I love LeBron demeanor tonight, it's like he's all business...

Don't take this the wrong way, but you're banned for not being good enough for our basketball discussion. Real talk, don't create a topic like this, then run to your primary message board, posting the link and laughing about it. Some of the guys you post with over there will end up telling me (like they did). They also told me you were quite the forum comedian, and that you're more of a joke account than a dedicated member and knowledgeable basketball poster. We're a little different. We like basketball knowledge, over anything else. Sorry.

GOOD JOB, GOOD EFFORT, GOOD JOB!!
