there was CelticsRant
I cringe to share this (again), but what the hey

if anyone still reading this blog can prove that they read this old site (back in 2000-01) I'll nominate you for HOF status based on that fact alone

Speaking of old Celtics fora, is there anyone here who used to frequent the ESPN Celtics page back in the late '90s? Around 98-99 before they discovered blogs, it was probably about the only place to discuss the Celtics online I would guess. For a while in the 98-99 season, there was a Milwaukee-fan troll named Buckshot, who came on all the time and talked a lot of crap about how Ray Allen was better than Ron Mercer (not sure why he thought that was a rivalry). Ring a bell with anyone? Thanks to the ESPN Celtics forum, I was able to learn how many games Dwayne Schintzius would be inactive so he could attend his grandmother's funeral. Ah, the internets.

Who's that guy in the "return to the rafters" movie?

Where's that?

I remember reading a live blog by Bassett on Sportsrant.net where he ripped on U2 and talked about making apple crisps with his girlfriend!
I think that was in 2004 though (and I'm not after a nomination to the hall of fame...whatever that is).

Who's that guy in the "return to the rafters" movie?
Where's that?
Actually, it's off topic. The DVD, it features a celticsblog member. I'm curious who that is...

The guy in it is Mike Munger aka Sexy Scottish. I am very tight with that guy as we have chatted many times on CSNNE and CSL he is a true fan and loves his C's. . . . He knows me and many other might now me as KINGSHAMROCK from twitter or Brian from Maine aka Bubba on CSNNE.
Back to the before the Celtics Blog. I used to go to the Boston Globe Chat as that was the only place for a while to get your Celtics talk. That is where I got the handle BBS from anyone who ever was on the Globe chat back then knows what BBS stands for.Those where some great years on that site. Calling WEEI and giving shout outs to the Globe Chatters. Those were the days. I then when to the MEANGREEN FOURM once that Globe stoped the Chat. Then I came here. I still think the Globe Chat was some of the best times I have had talking Celtics. I think the quickness of the Chat format is better than the Blog format. I still don't know why more people don't use the chat room on the Celtics Blog other than on game nights. The Celtics Blog is all I know now for my celtics news other than Twitter.

Man, I used to love the ESPN boards. I was only about 13 or so when I discovered them and I would talk some smack myself. I distinctly remember there being trolls from the Cleveland board who loved talking about how we gave them Andre Miller. Every time he had a good game, they would be on the celtics board. Don't exactly remember what the trade was but i think we gave them a pick that eventually turned into miller.
Good times on that board though. I don't even remember when they took it off... I remember being their during that 2002 run.

You can still I sift through the garbage known as the ESPN message boards: http://boards.espn.go.com/boards/mb/mb?sport=nba

Prior to CelticsBlog many of us spent our time talking Celtics B-Ball in the Boston Globe Chat room. It had many chatters who are now part of CeltisBlog. I can remember when CelticBlog had just started and many of us decided to make the jump to this site. Honestly,the globe was closing the chat room and many of us were glad someone mentioned we had another place to go. :)

I got my copy of Return to the Rafters on Ebay for 5.90 free shipping after the last Celtics Stuff broacast when SS mentioned it in the chat. Love it!

I was originally POker Boy in the old globe chat.....very fun and lots of good people who I still converse with today. Long time ago

Don't worry, Po. I'm sure you'll get a chance to reminisce when nick gets a hold of you. You get an entire wing in the Hall of Fame / Ring of Honor all to yourself.

I used to go to (mostly lurk) the Globe chat. There was also a Celtic blog site (or message board) in, if I remember correctly, and I am not sure that I do, GeoCities. There were some good posters in there.
One of my personal favorite sites, though not a blog and not so active anymore, if "The Celtics Beagle".

But do I get a ring?

Haha. I can guarantee if Celticsblog ever extends its vanity project to giving out rings, you'll be second on the list (behind Jeff).

I remember that chat room well! I was on there off and on for eight hours a day when my daughter was born. I was the original Birdwatcher, and we spent so much time on there, like maybe 15 or 20 of us, loyally anyway. I was also in the yahoo fantasy hoops league that evol started. ChizzDogg, you still out there??

I used to read that, but never participated thankfully.

Another site I used to go to is celticstufflive...
There were many small sites available...the CelticsBlog has absorbed a few....
I am so grateful that I finally found CelticBlog! Best site of them all, and the most diverse.
