What can I say? I've always liked Austin, and I have a great relationship with the Austonians.
Red, brown, or black? Bad!!
Burnt orange? Luxurious!
EDIT: Now before the media starts distorting and bleeding all over the place, I did not just insult anyone's alma mater. The above is only a comment on skin color.

Hey guys, Tim from Mavs Moneyball here. I have no clue how many of you guys remember me, but as the post count on the left shows, I used to love this place. I visited pretty much every day during the formative days of my fandom in 2008-10.
I didn't read the entire thread, but if the site is shutting down at the end of the year with no hope of keeping it alive, I do want to offer my help setting up people at MMB if there's any interest. There may not be, and I understand -- we have a small core of users anyway, and it's a different medium than a message board. But while I'm clearly biased, I do think you could use the fanposts section similar to how this board runs. We have game day threads and recaps that post almost instantly for post-game discussion, and again, my bias might be showing, but I really do think the comment section is one of the smartest ones out there. If you've ever seen Lone Star Ball, you'll see that SB Nation sites definitely can sustain communities. I'd be interested in setting up some of the current mods here as mods at my site, too. We don't have any full-time mods but I've "known" a few of you guys since 2008 and certainly wouldn't have any qualms about doing that.
If anyone is interested in pursuing this, feel free to reach out -- timrcato at gmail dot com is the best place to holler at me. My DMs are also open on Twitter, @tim_cato, so please don't hesitate to say hi or whatever. I loved this board and would have to see it go, but perhaps this is a feasible solution. Or maybe it's too big of a change to consider, I don't know. Either way, no hard feelings. This really was the best place to talk Mavericks for a long time and I'd be honored to see any of you guys over posting at Moneyball. Hope to hear from some of you!

TBH I just hope if it shuts down the majority migrate to a singular location. If it's twitter mm wherever I'll prolly just go there.

Have been on this site since Dirk became a Mavs.
Thanks for all people who made this a great place to hang out!

Call me stupid... But is there a way to access this site and post from my cell phone, like an app? That would make it a whole hell of a lot easier.

I'm not sure if this site can survive after the season the Mavs are having...

It's rather interesting that this site was about to shut down just before the Mavs collapsed. Maybe DJ knows something we don't!!

Wow, obviously I have not been to the site in awhile, so I was shocked to see this. I would hate to see the forum go. I am dedicating myself to coming back more often, posting, and clicking ads!
I just don't see Twitter as a good alternative. It has it's place, but it's not the best place for serious, in-depth discussion.

Well ain't this a bitter sweet night. I come here to read about the Mavs making the playoffs and find out the site should have been gone in Jan and will probably be gone at the end of the season.
I loved this place for a lot of years
