i have flipped the switch and dubnationhq.com is now the custom domain. The secret url dubnation.substack.com will still work. There is the usual oddness around re-logging in. Substack wanted me to log in again, but as soon as I tried, it remembered my account. I hope your experience is not too awkward. See you soon and thanks for the support.

I had unsubscribed from LGW a few months back for varying reasons. Mostly some of the interactions got a bit too intense and personal and I went back to safer confines of GSOM to duke it out with Spreewell.

Saying all that just wanted to lend my financial support because I really want to see your site grow and thrive. I'm sorry that it wasn't a crystal clean breakup but these are the growing pains of such sites. I've also checked into Kings Herald from time to time this past season and there hasn't been the same engagement as there had been previously with Sactown Royalty.

Poor Man's Commish had also blocked me on Twitter soon after I had unsubscribed (unrelated to my subscription because my handle and profile pic are completely different) so I didn't have any desire to resubscribe to LGW so I'm glad y'all were able to migrate somewhat independently. Saying all that, I honestly wish him and their crew the best. He's able to piece some good YouTube content together and his Tweets were informative.

Just to be clear: this is the site that is going to get the funds when auto pay hits?

The new LGW has to get people to resubscribe in order to generate revenue?

I just need to get three things off my chest:

1. Thanks for keeping the site mostly free. I'm from LatAm and there are several reasons why I can't afford a membership (although I would LOVE to do it, because you absolutely deserve it).

2. Writing any unsubscribe emails is way to much effort for my lazy brain. Meh, I'll just mark it spam *shrugs*

3. I'll follow Apricot and Duby anywhere they go. I have actually been following not only the Dubs, but the NBA and American basketball, since the 2015/16 season, and I have learned SO MUCH about the game thanks to Eric's E1P and their articles back in GSoM. Like, my husband has played basketball since he was three and I can now have, ahem, erudite discussions with him. This might sound silly, but it's quite a big deal to me. So, I'm loyal, but I also know and acknowledge the value of well-written, clear, approachable, interesting basketball information. And the occasional bands I discover thanks to Duby, of course.

So that.

That guy seemed pretty rude in the comments section back when he was still commenting.

Duby/Apricot/Daniel have been certified top tier posters since before GSOM was a scab site.

No contest.

Speaking as a former GSOM writer, these dudes are absolutely the best in terms of providing topnotch Warriors content. Who better to cover the team than guys who 100% give a damn about the team? Also, a bunch of guys who will proverbially mingle in the stands with other fans and talk with the perfect mixture of temperance and passion (i.e., hot takes lmao), without making anyone feel like they're inferior.

I don't think I'd rather have anyone else cover this team other than these guys. I put this crew up there with the Anthony Slaters and Marcus Thompsons -- those guys give me plenty of access and in-depth analysis without the drama and unnecessary fluff. I get the rest -- the passion, the eye for detail, and the entertainment -- from DubNationHQ.

I am biased as an occasional contributor here (btw, I encourage you all to take a look at my conversations with Daniel Hardee on members of the 2020-21 Warriors roster) but this is the space for the best content AND analysis regarding the goings on in Dub Nation. I've had the pleasure of getting to know the people here at DubNationHQ over the past few years (including while writing a book on the 2018 championship team which, if you are so inclined, you can purchase at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1629375608/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_54S7QEE77CADGD1TJJ9F) and I cannot recommend their work highly enough. This is the place to subscribe for the best Warriors (and NBA-centric) content. What you're going to get here is the best in terms of information, commentary, and a space for conversation (the comment section for LGW the past year and here at DubNationHQ have been outstanding). So I hope everyone will stay and be a part of this. If you're skeptical, I would highly recommend it.

Wow -- passions are running hot on the recent breakup. I have no idea what's going on and probably don't need to know. But it sounds sad.

Glad DubNationHQ carries the banner forward. FWIW, I've enjoyed reading you and bring a part of the community. Sorry for the not-so-friendly fire...

Don’t turn this on Rich! He has been operating LetsGoWarriors for years and you were lucky enough he was willing to let you join him and his brand after your company got shut down (based on your work and attitudes, I see why). The logo and company was his to start. Why must you hate on another person who was only trying to help you? Rich provides better content and more genuine content than you do. He is respected by many members of DubNation and the players themselves. Most importantly, he is a better person than you guys could ever be.
