I've been addicted to celticsblog for a few years now. (I probably spend an average of two hours a day on it, which is more time than I devote to a lot of other things in my life, enough to allow me to justify it personally as an addiction.) I love the celtics and its so cool to have a community to share thoughts about them with. That being said, I hardly ever post on Celticsblog, for no particular reason...I think i like reading what people have to say a lot more than coming up with my own coherent thoughts on all this stuff. I always admire everyone who has the courage to throw themselves outs there, argue a point of view. Its fun to post stuff, but it can be nerve racking to leave yourself open to being scrutinized. I know we can't see eachother's faces, but it can be intimidating all the same sometimes. Maybe people are doing a similar thing and just sitting back and trying to get a feel for the personalities and temperment on the forums. That brings up the question, how many members are there currently on (the newest) Celticsblog? How many people have reclaimed their names? Are we up or down from before?
Maybe thats confidential info or something, but I'd be interested to know. Either way, I don't think I'm capable of abandoning Celticsblog. I'd start nervously shaking after a few days and I'm pretty sure I'd see baby's walking on the ceiling and stuff.
