Do we have to re-establish our user name?

Nope, you'll be able to simply continue as normal with your account.

That's amazing. Will you be doing anything about inactive/unused accounts, though?

Currently, no. Unless an account is actively causing problems, I don't see a need to purge.

Day 2 Update

Thanks to all our generous donors, we've passed our original goal of $1500. In light of the great support, we're thinking big! By this time Friday, we'll be about to go live on the new site.

1. If we reach $2500, we will be raffling off Celtics tickets. Approximate value $200. 1 entry for every dollar donated! If you're out of the country or can't attend, we'll supply a comparable prize.

2. The wheels are churning on new features. Currently we're talking with potential partners for live scores and widgets to take our game threads and discussions to the next level! Also forum mods to support things like Facebook login, new editing capabilities and other enhancements to modernize the site.

3. Think Community! CelticsStrong will be more than just a forum, it's a tight knit community of Boston fans who talk everything from Celtics to Sox to politics. Keep an eye out for new community meetups, member profiles and other ways to engage with the group.

THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of our supporters and let's keep it rolling. Spread the word and stay Celtics Strong!

Just made a donation...glad to see the efforts being made here.

I've, for the most part, been a lurker around the forums; it's always been good to read others' thoughts about the game, random topics, anything really. I've been here since 2007; I still remember where I was when I first registered...It was my senior year of undergrad and I was sitting in the university library...time flies. Let's keep it moving.

Been escaping to CBlog darn near every day for probably 15 years. A very sincere thank you to all of my fellow CBloggers for making this haven so amazing.

Happy to donate to the cause and get us closer to the ticket raffle.

Love the ideas for imrovements. Cant wait to see the new site.

Gonna want some T-Shirt options with super cool designs. Maybe we can run a contest for best tshirt designs.

I am a profesional musician and artist and would be honored to provide some original music if ever needed for the site.

Go Celtics! Its gonna be an amazing ride...

Great work all!  It feels good to know I'm not alone in feeling like it would be a major loss to not have Celticsblog around.  Amazing to see everyone put their money where their mouth is. 

I have some major expenses this week / month so I'm trying to hold out and donate on Friday... don't close the gofundme page down before then!
