    Have any of you all ever been there? Are any of you all going this summer. Kobe's supposed to be there tonight. I wonder how they'll receive him.

    I don't got NBA.com tv,but do any of you know where I could at least see some clips of the games?

    I have never been up to rucker park, I think they charge to get in to the Entertainers games, and it's a kind of a haul to get up there. I stop off at West 4th street summer league games (the infamous "Cage" where Mario Elie became famous), on the way home from work sometimes, a lot of ex and currrent college and pros there, but you never know who bc the MC only uses their street names. One big tall guy who can block shots but can't do much else has already been nicknamed "Yao Ming"

    Why are they banning the site name insidehoops .com ? (if you remove the space it's banned, what the hell is this site doing that for?!? They WERE the site that seemed to be the only ones at the rucker last night...)

    When did anyone spam it? Lately I've only seen it mentioned in regard to the rucker park stuff, and considering insidehoops is directly affiliated with one of the two rucker leagues, that sort of makes sense....

    that's like banning nike.com because some kids mentioned it when talking about nike sneakers

    well I imagine the mods removed the spam. they are usually pretty quick at doing that.

    and no, it's not like the situation you described. People talking about shoes does not = spam.

    Of course people talking about shoes does not equal spam. But people talking about shoes and then mentioning the official site of that shoe, and people talking about rucker and then mentioning one of the two official sites for rucker, are similar, yet it appears that was the ban reason.
    That's pretty damn messed up

    Once again. the site was banned because people were spamming the board with ads for it, not just for simply mentioning it. It didn't happen in this thread, it happened a while back. If nike.com supporters came to the site and started spamming on the boards I'm sure they would get their address "banned" too.

    Oh, well *********** only has 2 moderators, and both of them are a part of the actual site, if anyone was spamming it, it was NOT the staff of ***********, it was just some r****ded kids. See when hoopstv shut down a year ago, a TON of these loud mouthed r****ded kids flocked to ***********, and a lot of them are troublemakers and they run around causing problems, but that isn't ***********' fault.

    So don't punish *********** because some kids that *********** has no control over hwatsoever run around yelling stuff and INTENTIONALLY making it seem like they are a part of the site, they like to get message boards to fight with each other, that's their "thing." Again, it's not the average poster, it's just a few r****ded kids who DO NOT REPRESENT THE SITE, just themselves.

    Wow, now you're banning the entire site name because some kids who in no way are involved with the site ran around yelling it? Don't you think that's insane?

    Well if those staff members really gave a **** about it I guess they could contact the mods at Clutchcity and explain what happened and maybe they'd unblock it.

    What I think is insane is your obssesion with this. Who cares? You can still talk about it, you can still visit the site, you just can't provide links to it on this message board. Get over it.
