Many, many a night my last waking thoughts have been spent right here.
-
As have I. Being Australian it's always my late (really late) night thoughts coming to play when everyone else is wide awake.
Have lurked for a long time, from watching CelticsBlog Drafts to interacting in game threads, it's been a good run.
Onwards and upwards!
-
Goodnight...
-
I'm just gonna keep writing "last post" everywhere til it comes true. When I die, I will use this fact to completely roll St. Peter.
-
So when does the site officially get shut down?
-
:(
RIP
-
Wow...over a decade I have been here. So many good times. So many frustrating times. So many long nights. So many early mornings. So many great conversations. So many good people. So many friends.
Good night Celticsblog. Much love. 💚💚💚💚💚💚
Hello CelticsStrong.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

I can't believe these could be the last featured topics I'll be seeing on CelticsBlog forums:
-Kyrie getting respect
-CelticsStrong fundraiser
-Robert Williams
-A journalist wanting to be a Danny 2.0
-Celtics ESPN/SI Top 100
-Justice Kennedy retiring
-and forums phasing out
Waaahhhhhh it's real :'(
-
So does the forum here just get turned off right before the other site goes live?
I would be more verklempt this was really the end. But since we have a brand new home, we are fine. I am excited to see the new site. Good times ahead.

Hope there is a better selection of emojis, but yeah, it's been real.

Hello CelticsStrong.
Me too, nick. I guess the final post count standings (top-50 on first page if you sort by post counts) are in now, unless somebody makes a flurry to move up, but that's hard to do in the high post count range.

What I really need is a game thread, that would bump me up another 30 or 40 posts

Gonna be hilarious when it turns out byennie pocketed the donations and used them to finance a luxurious trip to, like Poughkeepsie?

I Started on this blog in 2004......Sad to see it go.

Good Night Celtics Blog....As in all things in life, things change and evolve with the times.
This site has been amazing for so many of us. I am looking forward to the next evolution of the forums on CelticsStrong.
Think how amazing the turntable, black and white TV's, Landline phone, telephone booths were...remember the walkman? Cassette decks....they all were amazing in their time like this forum has been to us but now we are going to next evolution of the site.
See you all over on the new forums!
-
CB has gotten me through many a boring night at work. I'm grateful to everyone here for that.
The new site will be great.
-
it's been a good run here.
-
Man this is the most bummed I have ever been about a sore closing down
-
not to worry. i am sure the new site will be even better. maybe i can finally post an avatar pix. :)
i look forward to seeing you all on the other side later today.
have a safe and good journey folks! ;D

Actually I think a funnier scenario would be byennie replacing CelticsStrong with a pic of him wearing $2500 worth of Lakers gear. It'd be the best heel turn ever.

Let me just give you one of the last TPs you'll ever get from this site...

In case I don't see or recognize anyone from Celtics Blog forum to Celtics Strong forum- i love y'all even tho y'all had to put up with some of my hot takes, ridiculous predictions, and whatnot!

Speaking of pure evil, I can't help but notice CelticStrong with only one "s" is available (for $388). I'm sure I could siphon off a few of you illiterates and start my own blog!

It is officially a day of new beginnings / less hate for one individual's life--just defended my dissertation. Now I no longer have to posture that I'm a doctor on internet websites for people I don't know.
Look forward to the new site. Thanks to everyone who was not poor and able to make donations. 1000 TPs to byenne!
RIP LarBrd.
Bye Celticsblog, I love you.

So I ended up 4th in total posts for the site. God do I need to get a life!!!

I am not going to get to 10k posts :(

I'd be interested to see a breakdown by year. I'd guess less than a thousand of mine are from the last 3 years.
Impressive to see Jpotter's pace on that list after being a relative newbie with a 2014 sign on date.

So confused, will every one post's/avatar/rankings remain the same? Sorry, I've been busy at work.
Such a sad day, but some great things must come to an end..

Good night sweet Prince!
I’ve been less active on CB than in my earlier days but I’ve definitely still been lurking quite a bit and I’m sad to see this day come. Will definitely be on CelticsStrong I guess I’ll see a bunch of u on there?

Yeah, from the way bennie described it it was going to be as much a replica as possible with history, passwords, usernames, etc. all being the same.

Bye Celticsblog, I love you.
congrats tarheel. the defense is stressful, but also ceremonial. they would not let you stand unless the committee was confident you would pass.
however, until graduation, you are still Ph.C. ;D but almost there, doc-be-be. i am really happy for you.
enjoy your new freedom. when i defended mine, i took an oath to read NOTHING academic for 6 months. ;D

Maybe I could change my username to "SparzCeltics" cuz I get the impression that people think I'm a Washington Wizards fan, which is clearly a NO! (ok maybe that one year where PP34 was with the Wiz but I was only rooting for him) It was just a random username I've grown and lived with.
But I'll stick to the same name.

sounds like a good use of the funds we raised.

I'm already in Poughkepsie... figured I'd throw it on the CC and reimburse later. Could someone donate $12 for this extra large hoagie???

I'm thinking of changing from passive aggressive sarcasm, to outright aggressiveness in the new forum.

Also, why RIP LarBrd? Should I get worried?

I found this forum not long after Judas Allen was traded to the Celtics, he was my favorite non-Celtics players back then. And I've said a couple of times before, I always felt that if he were to join the Celtics it'll be the year the Celtics will win a Championship. And it happened...
In any case, I've spent quite a few seconds on this site, and hope to spend a few seconds more on the new one... hope to see all of you guys there =)
Hope the few threads I merged here and there in the past couple of years, particularly during the summer, didn't cause any undue distress.

Goodbye, Celticsblog...
I will always cherish and appreciate everything you guys have done for us. This was once my safe haven when I was severely depressed and suicidal. Through the bad and good times, many users have gone through that were memorable and made this site one of my favorites to scroll and go through.

I think we're in purgatory
had we held Baptism and the holy Supper of our Lord in that esteem in which we ought to have held them, we should never have become monks. Nothing concerning purgatory, nothing concerning the sacrifice of the mass, nothing about those other like iniquities, would ever have been taught and handed down to us in the Church. But after the light of the Word had been put out by the wicked Popes, it was easy enough to thrust upon men all these abominations.
tl;dr we're in hell

i'm a little late for this suggestion but isnt it better to have everything in a post on the same page, just scroll down and the other "pages" appear? sometimes, especially with gamethreads i like to read through the timeline and scrolling down through the 50 pages during the playoffs especially is much better

I'm so disappointed that the 3 o'clock transfer wasn't met at the very second. I'm quitting CB or CelticsStrong or whatever.

I love Celtics Blog. Love the Celtics.
Can't wait for the next chapter: Celtics Strong.
See you on the otherside, all.

Phew. Well THAT'S a relief.
Thread forthcoming for all the inevitable little issues, however:
1) We're up and should be intact with accounts and posts
2) Emails should, like, work again
-
Phew. Well THAT'S a relief.
Everyone should give Byennie a TP any time they see a post of his from now till, say, Banner 33?
Scrolling text too?

Wow.

Seriously, it's a honor. It's been work, too, but who gets to just take over one of their favorite websites and have the users donate to the cause? Amazing.

Good afternoon folks
CB lives!!!

Also, thanks to Jeff Clark for giving us a place to share for so long, and all the admins and mods.
-
Peace out CB - thanks to Jeff for helping an Irishman in London become engrained into a Celtics community nearly 12 years ago, and to some of the OG bloggers that are still around it's great to read your wise insights. Hope those that aren't still posting are all doing well and at least lurking as I've been for the past few years.
We'll always have that 2008 run.

I've been on CB since 06 when I was still a kid in highschool.
Can't believe I missed the end.
Getting old sucks.
