I didn't have time to make a note but my donation was 100% contingent on being able to say swears on the new site. Ideally the exclusive right to do it but I'm flexible.
You have got to be &$#"%#% kidding me. A $;&&*  $#÷$?> contingency?

Perhaps we could implement a swear jar  :police:

“Minus one TP for every use of profanity.”

It would be an interesting experiment and could actually improve things in a way.

I think the idea of forbidding profanity is to make the blog accessible to all ages.

This might seem awkward at a time when 12yos can read and write the most vulgar things on reddit, and get access to ****hub with their mobiles, but it's I kind of awkwardness I can stand behind.

PS oops I used a bad word in my philippic against swearing.

I am mainly a lurker these days, read most of the basketball and movie related posts. Good luck with the new forum.

Sorry if this is somewhere else, but when is the new site up?

Also, are there going to be ongoing costs? I feel a bit Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. for my meager contribution..

Is there a way I can donate through PayPal?  I want to contribute, but that is my preferred method.

I’d venture to say a GoFundMe for FLCeltsFan would raise more than this one!

You are the MVP! Seriously.  The game threads being on a Ripken-esque streak is the level of dedication that makes this page great.

To add to that, FLCF still posts every game thread on celticsgreen, a small Celtics message board that a handful of us have been using for the last 15+ years.  She's an icon in the Celtics online community.  Three cheers for FLCF!
