I was just sitting here on this first real day of Celtics news thinking about what an interesting offseason it's been at CB.

There have been the typical controvertial threads (gay
marriage, health care reform, confederate flag, etc etc), numerous trade ideas, games/activities to keep us busy in the forums, Red Sox/Patriots/and even Bruins talk, bring back Antoine threads, and a host of other topics that have kept me coming back over and over again.

As the need for creative topics winds down, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for keeping me coming back to this site. Although I have not always had a lot to say, I have really appreciated this summer, in particular, out of the last few I have been here. There was no anticipation with the draft, no real 'guessing' about the upcoming season, and really no life changing Celtics news to discuss, but the 'thoughtfulness' from all made it especially interesting and I honestly logged on more than ever before.

Seeing current Celtics topics in the 'Latest Forum Topics' list reminds me why we are all really here in the first place, but I just felt it necessary to mention that this is easily the best 'Celtics Blog' because of the variety of topics and personalities on here. Thanks.

I imagine that the list of people that will miss the offseason with you will be very small.

Haha, well, I don't think I am going to miss the actual offseason- just the variety of topics here. It takes a lot of creativity to keep things going and I think people have done an admirable job.

I am as psyched as anyone to start the season. Reading about current Celtics players on the court almost seems surreal at this point.

I'm just looking forward to the return of game threads.. Game threads and chats during the playoffs are great here.

Bring on the game threads, I am more than done with trade hallucinations and mod-bashing. 

We have a great team and new members participating, let's enjoy a championship year along with the Celtics!

August and September have been pretty tough months on the blog, but I agree with the original post:  the community has found lots of interesting things to discuss, and that's to everyone's credit.  I think we're all anxious to see this team on the court, though.

i'm so ready for this offseason to be over, it's felt like an eternity! i'm planning on buying a TiVo, just for Celtics games, as I'm out of town for work every Wednesday-Friday...the plan is to do homework and catch up on Celtics action every Saturday.

but i do agree with one thing, there have certainly been some interesting topics to grace this blog this past summer. this place has been a resort for me all summer. after breaking my ankle and being on my back for two months, this place gave me something to take my mind off of things.

here's to another great season of Celtics basketball and healthy dialogue on this board! GO C'S!  ;D
