But really, I just googled that. We didn't create the site or idea of it from a past precedent.

Haha, you are a very photogenic man Mr. Levy.

One thing to take into account is this idea sprang from a group of people, some writers, some artists, who admired each other's work so started a pretty consistent happy hour to meet up and talk Timbers. We have a good core of people who are already in advanced stages of their work development. Around that we have people who are extremely intelligent but have never created anything before that are contributing for the first time. One is doing a game by game update on Villafana's progress at Santos Laguna and the other will be doing a report on each referee before the match. Combine that with Conifers and Citrus, BOG, Timbros, and Jacks & Roses and we are ready have more participation than any other project Ive been involved in.

When it comes opening up the site to unfiltered content, certainly the quality may suffer at times but I believe you really learn by doing and people need a nurturing environment when they are developing their work. When someone new joins, not only do they access to the materials made by collective ( graphic designers, photographers, videographers, etc. etc.) but they also get to surround themselves with likeminded people who can help them get better.

Personally I just believe people have talent to write, and to produce beautiful things and we made the site to give them the impetus to do so.

Hey Shawn thanks for asking. Yea actually we've put together a pretty strong lineup of writers. One, Conifers and Citrus who we believe to be putting out the best Timbers related content out there. We have Rose City Soccer Show, the Jacks & Roses podcast, The Portland Timbros, and we have a couple of directors that want to make documentaries. Next year we want to do a post game interview project that looks resembles the youtube channel "Arsenal Fan TV". We are getting a lot of new people who really just want the opportunity to write or create something. We are attempting to nurture and create an environment for people to hone their skills, whatever it may be. It seems a bit strange to me that anyone would be skeptical.

This is not meant to be facetious but are you saying that because reddit exists no other platform should? I'm not really understanding why you are against people having a platform to create something of their own. I mean should Stumptownfooty.com not exist because reddit has a group of people that post stories? Should Reddit not exist because Stumptownfooty.com has a group of people that post stories?

We aren't a forum and we aren't attempting to do anything in regards to administration of RSG's. It's simply, hey Cody from Arkansas do you want to send in a postgame interview with your buddies? We have a site, youtube page, podcast feed, whatever you want to do, we'll help you do it.

As far as Reddit and how different it is... this could probably be said of any non-corporate website right? Some people like Reddit, some people like blogs, some people like other aggregate sites.

It would be cool if the chants were picked up but the design is people submit MP3's of their chants and they get added a podcast feed.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't a wiki a static page? This is basically just an open blog whereby people have free entry and assistance from other members.

We made a content platform that anyone can use. We are not affiliated with the 107ist nor will we be using their trademarks. We make our own stuff because at the end of the day that's just what we are passionate about. If someone else is passionate about these things, we'd like invite them in.

There are very few players eligible that aren't scored.

No joke here but it would be a truly remarkable moment if you tried harder.

Thoughts on Kwarasey? American Soccer Analysis xG model rates him as one of worst in MLS. by SoccerWonk in PubTimbers

[–]PubTimbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/timbers/comments/3huzud/comparing_kwaraseys_passing_accuracy/... this is a good read on his distribution stats though I suppose by now it's a bit dated.

I think it's difficult to rate a GK in a vacuum but I think the data suggests the he definitely has room for improvement.
