forgive me as I rant a little bit
I'm not even going to get into all the drama over what some people think is wrong or broken about CelticsBlog - nothing in this secular world is perfect or infallible - that's life
There's always going to be room for growth. I agree with the dozens and dozens of folks who have chimed in that this place is great - and that's a tribute to all the wonderful people that have helped make it so. But I'm fully aware that it can be better.
And that is where YOU come in. Don't think I'm talking about someone else. I'm really talking to you. You have the power to make a good thing even better. Step up. Give back to this community instead of just sitting there, waiting to be entertained.
It is the SLOOOOOOOOW season right now. Couple that with some personal distractions and I simply don't have the time to write as much as I'd like to. Oh well. Maybe YOU should write something. Everyone has the ability to write a
FanPost (an article length post). Everyone has the ability to share a link or photo or quote via the
FanShots (I wish more people would do this - it would save me time and effort).
If the front page stuff is not your thing, how about the forums? Be creative. Start a thread. Start a series of threads. Make it fun. Make it entertaining. Make it what you would want to read and discuss.
If there's something you don't like - like say someone getting out of hand on a thread and no mods have stepped in yet, report it. You all have that ability. Then, trust us to take care of it. I have full confidence in the mod staff and so should you. These folks have dedicated their time and efforts to making this place better for you and you should be thankful for them. (many of you are and have expressed that - and I appreciate it)
The bottom line is this. This is a community. There is going to be good times and bad times. Exciting times and boring times. But at the end of the day it is about loving thy neighbor and loving the community enough to make it better.
I'm only half joking when I quote Edgar (at least I think it was him that wrote it) "Ask not what CelticsBlog can do for you, but what you can do for CelticsBlog."
I love this place. I think most of you do too. Please help us make it better.
End rant. Thanks everyone.
