Title: Celtsblog - Best forum ever?
Post by: tarheelsxxiii on August 05, 2018, 12:20:06 AM
To my untrained eye, the oldest post I see of this Celtsblog iteration is dated Sept 22, 2007.  http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=10405.0 (http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=10405.0)

I've been active here since 2012 and I know many others have been around long before that.  That means something, goshdarnit.  And even though I'm jacked that we'll have a new location soon, and our fandom will continue to run strong, I'm genuinely gonna miss this place.

A poll in the latest forum topics section asks if the 2019 Celtics are the "best team ever."  If we have reached that point of debate about our team, let's also turn that glory inward --  are we the greatest fans of all time?

After we can agree on our GOAT board status, let's take a minute to share our most memorable Celtics moments discussed on the board.

Off the top of my mind and in no particular order, I've got:

1. 2008 ECF, Game 7: Paul vs. LeBron

2. 2012 ECF, Game 2: The Rondo takeover (44/10)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgjTumIO2Uw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgjTumIO2Uw)

3. 2017 ECSF, Game 2: IT with 53 points in a win

4. Tommy upset that his kid went to Duke

5. 2017 ECSF, Game 7: Win over Wiz (doubling TPs) and Kelly O's payday!

But indeed, Celtics Blog forum is the greatest of all time.

There are still some numbers free for this forum to end up in the rafters at the Garden. Considering how much love fans emitted here toward our Celtics it would be well deserved.

Once again, thanks to Jeff, all the moderators and members.

The ONLY forum I've ever been a member of.  The only forum I've ever checked out for more than a google search.

Mods are the right ppl to answer (byennie is also working on it), so check with them too, but I'm p sure they ll have a redirect link at this place once they move out.

Yeah this forum was great in it's prime.  I had some great memories wasting time chatting with everyone.  It was a natural evolution of internet Celtic fandom.  I started with oldschool NBA bulletin boards, moved on to sports IRC chatrooms, spent a while at ESPN's old message boards, posted a bunch on the early RealGM's forums, but CelticsBlog was the go-to spot for myself and other Celtic fans for years.  If those other venues were the Myspace, Friendster and Geocities of Celtic internet venues, CelticsBlog was the Facebook.  For several years, this was the #1 destination online.   It was definitely a big part of my enjoyment following the team.  Legendary run.

I voted no just to be contrary.   ;D

Been here since 2007, pre-KG and banner 17.  It's my 'soap opera' -type addiction.

Of course.  Been here since the beginning (came over from the prior iterations).  Shame it will have another iteration in the near future, but it will live on.

I’ve been here since July 2010... still trying to cope with the Finals loss.

Always utilized the forums more in the summer when discussions could go on for days/weeks and news broke.

To be honest, I think the forums have seen better days but still the greatest resource for Celtics fans.
