OKCTHUNDERFANS.COM
I'm an old moderator from the thunderfans.com site. I posted with the handle "Trueblood" over there.
Not sure why but the site has been down for the last 6 months and is seemingly gone. Nobody knows the owner of the site so there's no way to really bring it back.
Just wondering if any of the old posters from over there are over at this site. If so, give a shout out. I'd love to hear from any of you.

I wondered what happened to that site. I visited there occasionally but didn’t post and kind of lost interest due to the lack of moderation. Hope to see you around here more often. I remember seeing your name there.

Thanks for the shout out. From a moderation standpoint, there was just some posters who were impossible to ban. I know that nobody liked the poster known as 405Cowboy/SilverStern/KingGilbert/LavarrullesNBA/JRSmithsbrain and so on. We'd ban him but then he'd come back with a new handle. Not much you can do. I sent out a sticky telling people to put him on "ignore". Pretty simple stuff.
We also had Plainsman and SMOKELAHOMA who ran off lots of posters as well due to their divisive nature. I would often get into the moderators forum and request that we get rid of them but for whatever reason, they were liked by the other moderators. It really came down to not getting much of a consensus about getting rid of people.

Ya SMOKELAHOMA and jrsmithsbrain were pretty rough. Only so much you can do with that stuff. As long as someone isn’t using a vpn, they do pretty good at catching duplicate accounts here. Kiss Fastfists used to post here but about the time Presti committed to his long desired rebuild, he disappeared. Go figure. I think there are a few others but they use different names.

Funny. He stopped posting over there as well when the rebuild started.

Absolutely. I just wish that I knew how to get in touch with Jimmy, gthunder, PlayoffP, Kizz, Kleese and the rest as well. The combination of the core here plus the good apples from the old board would be a good thing.

Re: OKCTHUNDERFANS.COM
Kizz has an account here. Hopefully he’s ok and wasn’t hit hard by COVID. Gotta figure some of the others will find their way here if they are looking for a message board. I’ve never gotten in to discord and don’t like the setup of daily thunder. If you have Twitter you could see if Kleese wants to post here. His post game write ups were a good read.

Interesting that you say that. I actually dm'd Kleese on twitter, asking if he knew why the old site was down. He had no idea but I was just thinking of inviting him here through dm since I don't know how to get in touch with the rest. I'll let you know if he responds.

I used to be so into daily thunder but once I made the switch to here I found I really preferred this forum format.

DT has some good posters info but not much quality dialogue.

Re: OKCTHUNDERFANS.COM
I still post some a few places (mainly discord and here, with some Twitter) but have just found basketball dialogue to be increasingly poor over the years, not so much on this specific forum but the rest of RealGM at least. We've got a small but good bunch on this subforum IMO. There was a time when a lot of really good posters were on some of the higher traffic spots and it's gone downhill in the years I've been here. Lots of NBA dialogue seems to have gone downhill.

It closely tracks the overall decline of discourse in basically every avenue of American life. Not to get too far afield, just sayin'.

Re: OKCTHUNDERFANS.COM
Of all American sports at least I think NBA is the worst in terms of current discourse. Not here in this team subforum but overall. Know it's decreased my activity level as I used to love some of the other spots here years ago but even feels like they've gone downhill Tend to be on Twitter more nowadays, don't know how many of you are on there but same name there.
