Happy self-congratulatory 4-year blogiversary to me
There's no exact date, but this month has marked the completion of 4 years blogging the Bulls.
So, as always on these occasions, I have to first give thanks to those who are reading, 'contributors' and lurkers alike. In terms of motivation to keep writing, only 45% is due to ego: the rest is for you readers, I swear.
I also will always appreciate the camaraderie and collaboration amongst my fellow NBA bloggers. It's amazing to remember how barren the landscape was when I started compared to the wide array of options out there now, both in styles and focus. And especially my fellow SBNation NBA bloggers, who I have a particular investment in after recruiting them aboard, and they've each made me look good as a result.
And speaking of SBNation, a thanks to Tyler and Kos for seeking me out, as if I didn't join this network almost 2 years ago I may have had a greater risk of burning out.
But as of now there's no danger of that happening. I rarely write because I feel I have to (and on the more barren weeks you guys probably wish that wasn't the case, heh) but because the Bulls are a fun team to discuss, and Bulls fans are fun to discuss basketball with. And it's not like there are a lot of forums like this out there for us, so I'm happy to provide some sanctuary for the meager cost of making me the dictator of it.

Matt, you've done a fantastic job with the site, and I for one appreciate your efforts to give us somewhere to bitch about Noce's matador defense. ;)

Congrats!
Ah, the internets report that it is "Fruits and Flowers." Well then a basket and bouquet to you, sir! For the life of me, I never thought I would write the following words this year, but here they are:
FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

Where's the cake?
In the old days, you didn't have 160 comments in every thread.

Thank you Matt...
I live in the UK where basketball is not a popular sport and it is not easy to find people to talk about the Bulls and the NBA in general. The Blog-a-Bull community on many occasions is the only chance I have to debate (Nocioni..Nocioni...) and communicate with fellow Bulls & basketball fans.
Thank god also for torrent websites like Sportbit and Davka BT who offer Bulls games for downloading. I also catch some games that are televised on the British Sky Sports network and NASN.
However, Blog-A-Bull is my main source of information for the Bulls. Here's to another 4 years and the first Championship of the Blog-A-Bull era...

4 Years!
Congrats Matt! No more breastfeeding! I love this site. I read more than I contribute because I can get a little crazy, but I read every single post. Thanks again for the outlet!
