This Niketalk thing is serious business.
I had meetings all day at VCU last couple days, immediately going home, doing the family thing, and crashing, so I missed all that happen as it was going on live.
But, here is my main beef (which I have shared on Facebook with other "pre-2001" members from the D.C. area)...
I'm all for competition. I'm all for the "more options is better" line. For all the members here who weren't here way back when, Niketalk experienced this before when Steve of "instyleshoes" made a proposal to "buy" NT for "free99" over 10 years ago... After being denied, he used the skeleton of NT to create instyleshoes. Thus, this is nothing new for the powers that be here.
HOWEVER, to intentionally take all the hours, *volunteer work*, manpower, information, posts, rules, templates and decisions (even as far as keeping banned members banned) to create an identical site and claim it as THEE one is foul... Foul beyond comprehension.
To attempt to sway and recruit the same volunteer "employees" to the copycat site is even worst.
It's a #FAIL trying to claim McDOWELL'S is the "real" McDonald's. People will instantly react emotionally to such fraud.
Give me a break.

seriously guys, have some class
I am neither pro or con any one site over another, as all have their shortcomings, but I am finding these events to be very interesting. Nike Talk is indeed Nike Talk, and nobody should own it other than the people who created it. That is truth, but while watching those who show loyalty through certain actions, threats, hacking attempts, research, profanity directed toward people who are deemed the enemy, it makes one wonder about what was tolerated by management on both ends in the past, and then if some people simply spend way too much time on the internet, period. Sure Nike Talk has provided a source of entertainment for many people, and Nike Talk did serve as inspiration for many similar sites, sneaker reviewers and the like, but watching the reactions, and then the fact that Method Man's having to, then having power to be able to tell cats to be cool, is quite telling about this community, of which I am keeping to myself, but I am sure that others who are sharp, are seeing it as well.
What school did you attendAlright, granted, this place means a whole lot to many people, but being a graduate of an HBCU, I am not trying to hear that comparison.
I didn't pick my school due to its entertainment value.

It has come to my attention that, late last night, an individual began posting publicly available information about CrowdGather's executives, along with links to personal facebook pages and even the CEO's home address. Other users then attempted to make use of this information to harass those they considered responsible for hijacking niketalk.yuku.com and everything you posted to the forums we've run in good faith for over a dozen years.
Make no mistake: such behavior is disgraceful to NikeTalk. It is an absolute affront to common decency, respect, and civility.
at yuku being the OG spot.
