Hi! I'm a longtime lurker on GSOM - but never posted there. Been meaning to subscribe here since you started the site, and I finally signed up today - mainly to return some of the love you guys have showered on Dub Nation by putting LGW out there.

I've been a bandwagoning fan of the Warriors - because all Dubs fans are bandwagoners, right? - since the mid 80s. I've loved the last seven years, but this year has been a lot of fun, too. So, I remain proudly on the Warriors bandwagon! Tanking does have its advantages; it's so nice that this City rat can afford a ticket again, occasionally.

Hey, I'm in, and, I got 50 bucks riding on you guys! Lol. Sorry it took a while for me to get here from Europe. Per my photo, I was recovering from an... operation. Nonetheless, ready to "shoot" as straight as ever in the name of Dub Fandom! Congratulations, and, thank you, ALL!

Thank you for starting this!!! I am looking forward to this new ad-free format, which will be easier to access on my phone too!

Glad y’all doing are doing this! I’ve been lurking on the threads over at GSOM, ever since I moved to the west coast of Canada in 2016 (and switched from hockey to basketball), and, at least as long as the splash bros are in blue and gold, I plan to stick around and enjoy your content - albeit with the occasional visit to other blogs, ahem cough dream shake, to pull out the popcorn and enjoy the salt :)

Subscribed - been waiting for you guys to get this started. Excited to be here!

Pounding the rock (#GSG) reader who found the news via Twitter. Best of luck to you guys. My stay at home with newborn life doesn’t have me reading as much as I wanted, but I always felt more of a kinship with “these sites” rather than the big time media sites. Congrats on developing a model to fit your needs.

Love your initiative. Are there plans to also write about the Santa Cruz Warriors? Hope so!

fyi: Do you know about the amazing Warriors' community in France? See: @dubNationFR These folks are Serious fans: They live tweet the games = 2:00 a.m. Twenty of them came to Oracle last March. Search @warriors for a short vid made about the group!

I’d welcome Sea Dubs coverage, too. Those are the games I attend when visiting the Central Coast on winter break. You’d never guess how much old white hippies love watching pro basketball.

Money? Already sent.

Mouth? All present and correct.

I also want to make a "Hi, I'm just checking in" comment.

Hi there. I’m not a long term fan, but since GSW@Toronto (lost in OT, KD 51) I haven’t missed a minute on NBA tv. No big deal? I live in Italy! Games atChase start at 4:30 am here. But I love to stay up all night and enjoy the celebrations, the emotions, the fun. Am I the first subscriber from Italy?

Expand full comment

respect. I’m too old to stay up all night (in Sweden) but at least I saw the Christmas Day game!

Dubs fans all around the world! Woooo-Hoooo

I played rec basketball for 50 years, until my knees gave out. Learned more from Eric Apricot than anyone. Good luck, all

OK I'm going to have to un-subscribe for now. I can't have my email blowing up like it already has. Will check in every so often and see how things are going.

You can turn those off in the first email (but as Apricot said above, we are working with substack on that).

They were mostly geared towards lower input newsletters so the auto ping feature was more useful to places with only a few commentors

yeah this is a problem for me too.

Yeah we aren’t crazy about that either. Working w Substack to beef up the comment powers

Substack person here. Thank you for this feedback! We definitely plan to fix this.

Please send us all your gripes/wishes because it helps us make this stuff better.

Expand full comment

Two quick ones: the ability to quote other comments, and also to edit them. Eventually, posting media in comments would be great too.

Expand full comment

Thanks for all your work. I can't imagine how much goes into creating this. There will always be bugs and tweaks, but already this feels better.

Expand full comment

If you turn off the email newsletter thing it seems to stop that.

Expand full comment

If a lot of others are being annoyed by that, it could be a good idea to let everyone know.

Expand full comment

My bad, you still have to mute the posts.

Expand full comment

Realize this is ground floor, but you should try to link up with other teams sports sites over time. Sort of a collective. That plus the community was the best part of SB Nation. But this could definitely work. Glad to see y'all pulled it off.

Expand full comment

I always enjoyed the pregame blog where they link to the other team's blog so you can read their pregame from their perspective.

Yes after we land this plane in one piece and get the site in the shape that we want, we will be happy to talk with other blogs. Because I’m guessing vox may drop the hammer on them too!

Not even an NBA fan, but a writer at an SBNation site with concerns about the future. I'll watch with interest. Best of luck!

As a Nebraskifornian I know your work from OTE. I hope the Vox cull doesn't come for you. There's a lot of writers at OTE and CN that I'd miss.

5-year GSOM lurker. My Father in Law got me hooked on Warriors with Clay's 37 point quarter. He cheered the 70's championship, watched nearly every game in the drought. So glad that the GSOM content creators are finding a better LGW landing pad. Substack looks sweet. I might do investigate for my newsletter needs. Do you have a referral link?

Just a question, we going live now? Or are y'all waiting till the lights are turned out in March?
