Going Global - New International Forum

by Jeff Clark on Mar 23, 2007 10:29 AM EDT in CelticsBlog

In a move that would make David Stern beam with pride, we are pleased to announce the opening of a new section in the forums titled "International Basketball."Â The NBA is expanding overseas (the Celts will be playing training camp games in Italy) and likewise the talent from all around the globe is coming to the NBA (last year's number 1 pick was from Italy and the MVP this year could be from Germany).Â So we thought we'd open up a forum where you can discuss the overseas game.Â For now the forum is intended to be English speaking only, but in the future we'd like to expand to some bilingual spinoffs.Â Hope you enjoy.

Is this where we find the “tiag Splitter isn’t going to walk through that door” comments?

Maybe you can incorporate one of the online translation services into the board. I have no idea how something like that would be done.

In the meantime, I think the College basketball and Draft threads could be combined, does anyone else agree? And I think you could add a “Other Boston Sports” section as well.

I have a feeling this forum goes largely unused

it doesn’t have to be the most popular forum, we just want it to be a resource for those interested in this topic

Perhaps so, but with 20% of CelticsBlog web traffic being international in origin, I doubt it.

Well, of course the other 80% of site visitors are located in the United States but I won’t provide any further breakdown of it than that. Naturally, CelticsBlog members have their greatest concentration here also, but are otherwise distributed all over the planet.

And a few outside the planet, from some posts.

Yes, it is very hard for us to get any solid numbers for extraterrestrial CelticsBlog members and visitors, but it would appear they are significantly represented here.
