Post by dbrown4 Thu Dec 10, 2009 3:21 pm

I just wanted to thank you Sam and the Adminstrators for this forum/site. I have to admit, I check out the Boston.com forum from time to time. I know, thrity lashes with a wet noodle, but it has turned into a joke. I just read one thread that made me laugh because it sounded like several 3rd graders out at recess fighting over the dodgeball. Really. I'm serious.

I post (OK, ramble) a good amount on this site knowing the responses and the respect that I receive are well thought out and well intended. But the Boston.com forum site is now a complete joke. It really is pitiful. And for my $20, this site is a steal. Thank you all for pulling up the carpet and moving out. I am honored to be a part of this site and hope to be posting and reading for a long time.

Great move!!

Dee: Agreed. 20 bucks is an amazing steal. Between you and me, I am not at all convinced that Sam and company are in it for the $$$. If they were, some of us legit PITA's would be charged accordingly to make it worth their time/effort/hassle/grey hair/aggravation... and we would willingly pay because no one else would possibly want to put up with our stuff!

dbrown & GC,

Thank you!

The fact that this site is informative & enjoyable to all (this includes me!) makes it well worth the time. In addition, posts like yours, helps us stay pumped up, reinforces that we are on the right track, and keeps the creative juices flowing on how to make this place even better.

Thanks again,

Pete

I concur fellas. I am new to the blog thing and frankly just got a computer. I am a junkie for this place. So many different intellects and views. Some real straight talkers and some real deep thinkers. An education every day on the game and team I love the most.

Well done indeed.

IMHO:
There is no way that Sam or the others are being fairly compensated for what they are providing...It is their love of the Celtics and convivial nature that is driving this bus. I go over to the other site now and again just to poke at a trolls because of my twisted sense of fun but this is the place to come talk about Celtic basketball.

dbrown,

All I can say is this site is a godsend. I was really close to giving it all up (posting on Celtic boards, that is) due to the same-old lame-old going ons over at the BDC. That is where I started posting on Celtic boards and where I got introduced to a lot of you guys.

The opportunity to be involved in this forum from the ground up has been quite a thrill for me.

LA:

Precisely my point!!!!

I simply said it in a more leasurely, less direct way than you!

I took the long and winding way around and came in to the parlor (or onto the bus) using the back door.

There is no compensation to speak of at all. Its all love.

Whodathunkit?

P.S. Sorry for confusion!

I "pop" into BDC once in a while. I used to be addicted, but that was because there was nowhere else to go.

I looked at the threads there a day or two ago and it was the same old adolescent pissing contests between Lakers and Celtics. Rebels is one of the only one there that, IMO, has a balanced perspective and most of them, I hate to say it, are as basketball ignorant as the Laker trolls. I may have missed one or two others, but that tells you just how thin their ranks have become (no bench strength). Didn't even want to reply to anything I saw.

I'd rather be a peon in heaven than rule hell. That's why I'm here.

I agree with all of the above! I love the respect that everyone shows here. We can disagree about things, but still keep it friendly. That's the sign of a well moderated board and everyone's ability to find common ground even though we have diverse opinions. Thanks everyone!

Jebster: There is a new, kinda edgy, def witty new-guy-on-the-block named something like "shaken-not-stirred" that has some real Sams Club "pop" to him. Very sincere really IMHO. Knows his beeball.

Invite him to rookie camp for a look-see. Checkhimout. Bring him along slow. You know the type.

Create some buzz here. (This place is dullsville!) Psssssssst: take some heat off of me.

Give the mods some action. Wake 'em up a bit! Very Happy

Dunno.... Maybe.... Depends.... shaken-not-stirred is one of MartiniLoverXXX's aliases as best I can tell.

BTW, "XXX" is now "209" and counting.

Nice to visit BDC from time to time. Nostalgia! Wouldn't want to live there though. Twisted Evil

SO doodes a troll. Not so hot is it chief? I'm talking about some of Sam and Gyso's pals that just didnt make the jump. I understand another group split there and that there is another celtics blog made up of former bdc guys? I'm trying to figure if some good posters are still at bdc that we could lure a little bit?

Copy. I go over there ever once in a while. It seems obviously diminished as all the smarter guys fled for higher ground. I'll axe 86.

GC,

I believe you're probably talking about dslack's forum. The URL is:












http://www.setbb.com/celticsboard/

He wanted to provide a free alternative for people. You can check it out yourself and give us your opinion.

jeb,

Of course you can invite guys over. GC was just funnin' with us about ML and his new name. I caught his drift on the first read. No worries, you have to have a sense of humor to get by in this world.

There are a few "old friends" still over there and it would be great if they came over and joined this forum. I still read the BDC off and on and post there as well. It is sad what they let go on there.
