Mak will probably be shocked that I'm defending him since we've had some dust ups in the past. I've inspired him to ban me and a couple of my aliases in the past. Some of us just don't like the principle (or lead Mod), and unfortunately, I've been a little bit like that at times (my bad).

Sorry about all that Mak (although...there is one joke alias and post that I was particularly proud of, and I think you didn't know it was me, and it got banned quickly...but if we can look back and laugh now because we're old and stuff, then I'll remind you of it, if you're interested).

But here's the deal:

We move to a new Forum, start fresh, Mak comes out of the gate offering nothing but respectfully written posts, light hearted humor and offers to help the community, and in return he starts getting flak from people. It's bad form imho. Give the dude a break. He's not even the principle anymore, so get over it.  

And I'm not a MOD, but if I were, I'd ban folks very sparingly, but, I'd certainly ban, or not activate, any attempt at a username of the form "postername_sucks". It's just juvenile and pretty sorry. 

New forum, new season, new day, get off Mak's back!

Where is that cookie?

that the first post in this forum is made now as opposed to during the day.

BTW... thanks to whoever provided the color sheet for the Mavs? I changed the colors of the board to match the team colors. So it has the Royal Blue, Navy Blue, and Silver/White/Black

I also Edited the Logo to match the Colors. I made a couple of versions... take your pick! Which do you prefer?
(We can still do the same for MavsForum.com if we switch to this... but for now, let's pick the colors)

 Current Mixed Colors of Royal and Navy Blue

 Royal

 Navy

 Original Light Blue color made by bin

 Royal First Letter / Navy lettering as suggested by Dougie

All,
I appreciate how so many of you are hanging out at the Sports Illustrated DallasBasketball.com ... even with the growing pains!
I ALSO appreciate how many of you have the passion to support Magik's project here ... and I support it, too.
SI's not going to allow me to 'incorporate' Magik's site with mine. But I still look at this as I always have - that all of us are MFFL, and have so many shared thoughts and wishes there ... and that the Mavs "pie'' is big enough to go around for everybody.
It's why Skin and I have been so supportive of the blogger/podcaster parties that we've been involved in. Skin's got his own podcast, and DBcom has its own ... but (maybe because we're old and grandfatherly!) we embrace the work of other and younger guys and gals.
Same thing here.
My focus is on my work and my work is at DBcom. But Magik and Clutch and SleepingH and Fifteenth and Kamm and I could go on and on and on ... have been BIG parts of my work and my fun. So I'll interact here (unless I get banned!) and y'all do what fits you best; I'm happy to have heard from a bunch of guys who think 'us vs. them' is self-defeating and silly ... and who simply want to enjoy both, and Mavs.com and Reddit and other stuff, too.
That 'bunch' includes me. Good conversations here, good content and conversations there ... all good.
Thanks
Fish

I guess this is where all other non-mavs stuff belongs

this is the year
