This deserves it's own thread.

I loved this quote

Two representatives of the site -- "SlyPokerDog" and Nate Bishop -- attended a preseason exhibition with game passes, and Hankins said the team will "look into" acquiring media credentials for site representatives to create original content from regular season games.

Seems like they are interested to have a fan's perspective during the games! Congrats!

You are probably right. You may have the honors!

In about 10 years Denny will be the new Mark Zuckerberg. Wonder who they will get to play him in the movie?

William Shattner?

 

[Sedatedfork]

William Shattner?

By that point Shatner will be too old to play a young Denny. They will have to go the Star Trek prequel route and cast Chris Pine

I'm not wild about the new colors for the forum.

I like them. and the banner is nice too.

I like the banner a lot. It is my third favorite banner. My favorite banner is Star Spangled Banner (maybe even the Natalie Gilbert version). A very close second is Bruce Banner (Hulk is tough to beat). My third favorite banner is this banner.

My fourth favorite banner is Brian. Close is my third is Nate Bishop, and even a closer second, Sly. My favorite banner to poke in the ribs is Denny.

But I'm starting to notice Truebluefan, so no one should take me for granted.

Today, I finished negotiating a consulting agreement between SportsTwo and the Portland Trail Blazers where our Trail Blazers forum is going to become the official message board of the Portland Trail Blazers. This is a done deal.

I want to congratulate you all. I merely represented us, as a group we made this worthwhile.

What this means:

1) The skin of the Blazers forum is going to be changed to match the official trailblazers.com WWW site. Similar to http://forwardcenter.net

2) We do not have to change our site rules in any way. They are perfectly satisfied with the way we run the site in every respect - that we don't edit profanity or say rude things and so on. They do not have editorial control over the site. However:

3) It is in our own best interests to edit profanity in thread titles. If we do, we can have a display of recent threads on the trailblazers.com home page (or elsewhere). If the titles have profanity in them, we will effectively be defacing their site.

4) We do not have to filter what we or any poster says about the Blazers.

5) The ads on the site will be replaced with ads provided by the NBA. This is in line with any sort of site sponsorship deal we'd make, regardless of it being the Blazers. I think we should expect some very nice ads to be shown.

6) We will have a prominent link to the forum placed on trailblazers.com, and they will help promote the site through other means (mentions on TV, game programs, scoreboard, radio, etc.).

7) We will have access to some goodies as part of the Blazers family. If you have a request that is reasonable to pass on to the brass in the Trail Blazers front office, I'll be happy to make it happen.

If you have any questions, ask in this thread.

Many thanks to SlyPokerDog and Natebishop3 for helping me get this done.

Congratulations Denny, Sly, and Natebishop for making that happen!

Those bums didn't make it happen! It fell into their laps, a gift from the new Blazers VP.

Don't be envious.

I was so close to closing the deal, but while I took time to donate at the orphanage, Denny sneaked over, took dirty pictures of VP Whatshisname, and coerced him to sign.

Is that what they call your local sperm bank?

You do some nice editing work. If HCP ever goes full L*kers on us, he should give you the hook up.

Whoa the logo for RipCityTwo on Google Chrome just changed to what I think is an official NBA-ish logo
