there are other, more intimate blogs out there – we chose to embrace a larger community and I’m very happy with that direction

the only nit I’ll pick is that there is a lot more writing on the site now – there just happens to be more quotes and links as well – you do have to scroll down to find content sometimes – and we try to balance the flow of information with the feel of the site – nobody’s perfect, but we’re doing the best we can

still think its best C’s blog!

I lurked through 2 or 3 or 4 hosting changes and was a member for the switch to SBNation. Jeff and the moderators (and anyone else) have given us a forum that has attracted more and more folks over the years.

And having watched it evolve, I’m amazed at how Jeff has shepherded things along. He’s managed to dedicate a lot to CelticsBlog and still have a life, which he and his family definitely deserve. Yes CelticsBlog is much bigger and to some of us it is taking time to get used to. However, I have absolutely no doubt that Jeff found the best solution for CelticsBlog and the community that has formed around it. I even like that fans of other teams come here, that’s awesome!

I definitely come visit much, much more these days, since there is so much more content and good commentary. And I also like the policies — this continues to be a well-policed forum and that means a lot to me. There is a whole lot to like.

Thanks Jeff! Thanks moderators! Thanks writers!

and I’ll take this as another opportunity to praise all the wonderful people that make it happen on a daily basis – see the Editors, Authors, and Moderators listed at the bottom of the blog

infinity Tommy Points to each and every one of them

cheers

That the fans can go way over the top sometimes. And the more stay calm fans get shot down when they try to tell them to be more reasonable. The sides job is to put every decision under a microscope, but threads like the mikki moore thread got done and over done so many times, it became all the side would talk about for like two weeks. I can say personally i avoided the blog for that period of time.

I love this blog and have been a member since its inception. I do have one wish for change though:

the game threads in the message boards are an extremely cumbersome way to follow the game live with fellow fans. why don’t more people use the actual comments section on the main page to post game thoughts? it updates itself in real time, and there aren’t pages upon pages of avatars, signatures, etc. it’s a much, much better way for fans to rant, rave quote each other, and extole the virtues of a garbage time Billy Walker windmill.

the other SBNation blogs use this method of posting during games. if i had a say, i’d start promoting this method for the playoffs this year. for an example of how well it works/flows, check out this link from the Eagles’ Bleeding Green Nation:
