jeff

will you be closing this forum and changing it to okc?

i cannot emotionally be the moderator of the new okc team which i would name:

OKC RAIDERS

i am sure that there are plenty of folks from that state would would love to be the moderator for their new team

[Buffalobraves]

Leave the forum, in memory and respect.

[catzhernandez]

:cry:

This sucks.

[RainierBeachPoet]

since the sonics do not technically exist anymore, how long will this sonic forum exist at ish?

[intrinsic]

I'd like to see it remain, or at the very least archived. The sonics forum shouldn't transform into the OKC forum. Similar to the proceedings in real life, a new forum should be created. The history should remain with the Sonics. It may not be practical to maintain this forum as an active one, but it should be archived. There's a good bit of solid content here. However, it isn't my call, and there are sentimental motives behind my suggestion.

as a new poster here i would really like to see the sonics forum stay here. because i know someday there will be a new seattle supersonics team in seattle. seattle is a great place for sports teams and its sad to see the nba not exist there for awhile. keep cheering for the wnba team guys and girls show you guys want the nba back there someday. maybe a billionaire will build a stadium there for you guys.

ISH is about fans, not corporate interests. If guys on ISH want to call a team the Raiders of the Punks, it just happens. If the fans on this forum want to keep this forum, you should keep it.

Suggestion to MODS by a visitor.

1) Take leadership

2) Get ISH to open the new OKC forum, ASAP

3a) Keep this entire forum history as a Permanant sticky inside the new forum.

3b) OR... Keep this entire forum history as a Permanant sticky inside a new forum. (New markets /future NBA teams) something like that.

4) Then host a Grand Opening Party, invite all of ISH, explain what you have done, etc.


Lastly, Both Vancouver and Seattle losing their franchises was bad for the NBA. Share the pain! I really see these as big mistakes by Stern, swapping good markets for smaller markets.

keep this forum as is, right where it is... they just need to make a new team forum for the OKC whatchamacallits

Think we should thank Ranier for his time and effort and I agree, this should be left or archived.

[martinas23]

this forum should remain because sonics are still in our hearts

[AlaskaBlzDuk]

I'm willing to bet you will get a new team in 2 or 3 years anyway

too big of a market to leave unused right?

[martinas23]

Hell no

[RainierBeachPoet]

can you hear the nails being hammered into the coffin?

You'll get a team again. :)

[RainierBeachPoet]

Seattle SuperSonics fans pay tribute to their lost team:

[goldenryan]

maybe the bobcats will move to seattle:oldlol:

[Toni]

If Seattle doesn't get another team I hope Vancouver does. Then at least you Seattle ppls can still watch some good basketball and get some very good weed while your there.

I honestly hope you guys get a new team, under the current economic climate, I don't see it happening soon.
Here in LA, as huge a market as we are, we havent had a pro football team in a very long time.
I hope other cities learn from this and fight to keep what they have, approve any arena deals that are asked for.

this color scheme is way too cool to shut down
