As I said when starting this, I think the first few years should just be automatics.

1st year should be Jeff Master and Master Po.
2nd year should be some behind the scenes people Jeff might want to honor.
3rd year through 5th years should be some longtime contributors.

After that, let the CBHOF membership vote on who they think should be inducted. I think the full membership of Celticsblog voting would be wrong. Let the Hall of Fame membership decide who to bring in and why and Jeff gets last say and approval.

ahh yes, it is the offseason isn't it?

this may still have to wait (for me at least) until the slower season, but we'll get to it soon enough

please note: there are some missing archives at http://celticsblog.wordpress.com that never made it to the new SBN site (I'm working with the tech team to make that happen) but you can see them at that site for now at least

they weren't as bad as some make them out to be - that team with Davis, Walker, Payton etc. did win a division title (for what that was worth) - but they imploded against the Pacers which gave everyone a bad taste in their mouths

I agree Nick.

starting a new thread for year 1 inductees - we'll see how many of you actually remember those days

please forgive me if I missed anyone in those first two years - my memory gets foggy going back 5 years, ...or even 5 minutes

For the life of me I can't remember when I joined.  I think this is the third site platform I have been on, but I don't remember that wordpress site at all (of course that doesn't mean I wasn't going to it then).

the wordpress site I've been linking to here is just a place-holder for the content that got lost when I couldn't save the other wordpress site - that is why it doesn't look familiar

long story, but basically we had server crashes, virus infections (the computer kind), overflowing spam, and if memory serves, even a little hacking that went on - all of which made Bob Day that much more of a savior in 2006

I remember that playoff series very well. I felt so bad for Perkins in game 6 coming off the bench cold to try and win a game from the line....

I only started coming here after my brother pointed me to the KG rumors. So I missed the early days.

man, I still enjoy looking back at the old screen shots - what a trip down memory lane

and a little bird told me that we might see version 6.0 in a little while - stay tuned!

There's just so much stuff to look through and posts to read and contributors to think about to get this all done properly. I remember CB3.0, that's when I started reading but really didn't have the time to contribute until the end of that 2006-07 disaster of a season. Looking back at the older versions definitely does spark some memories.
