Post #25,000

I thought about just ignoring when I hit post number 25,000, but then what swayed me against that was I didn't want post 25,000 to end up being about Lindsay Lohan or Kim Kardashian or something like that, and then later regret it so I just thought I would at least have it marked so I would know when I reached the number, in case I ever get to 50,000. I remember 1,000 and 5,000 clearly. The other milestones I have to go back and look for. I do remember post one. I remember reading a blog that day and I want to say it was Cory Kennedy's blog. I thought this blog thing sounded kind of interesting and it was free and I really didn't have much going on in that hour at work so wrote a little something and posted it. I then kept checking back to see if anyone read it, and no one did. At the same time though, it didn't really matter that no one had read it, I still enjoyed doing it and the next day I did another and then another and then suddenly there were people reading it. I remember the day the MV blind came out and ONTD linked to it. I thought about shutting the whole thing down right then. It was just too many people. But, there I was, the next day, doing it all over again. It has been that way for close to 7 years now. The blog is only still going because of all of you. You read it and you comment. You have made friendships and you are the best part of the site. Without all of you, it would just be me, typing random thoughts into the universe like that first day. Without all of you participating, I don't know if I would have kept it going for 25,000 posts. Thanks to everyone who has been around since the beginning and for those of you who have been here a week and decided to come back.

  18. There should be BACON! Bacon for all!! Congrats Enty! You have helped me through a job from hell and much injury and sickness. I will always be thankful to you for giving me something to snark on when doctors have had me drugged out of my mind. Better to snark here! I also have learned much snark from all your posters and used it wisely on those who are most deserving.

    Hate to say but post 25,000 should have been Chicago Baconfest. There is still time for a 25,000 celebration post that would be appropriate! Congratulations!!

  27. I love this blog. I have been reading for probably 5 years and just recently started commenting a little. In the last year or so it has become something I just have read EVERY DAY for my CDAN fix or I just don't feel right. I must admit the comments are probably the best part, I have learned so many interesting things!
    Long live ENTY!

  44. Congrats Enty! I've been reading since Jan 1, 2012. Dlisted directed me here for the big reveals day and I've been hooked ever since. I've wanted to come out of my shell and comment for months, but I've been too shy/scared. But maybe now I'll join the conversation and make some friends :)

  50. I didn't really 'get' CDAN for a long time. Started out w/TMZ. Found DListed, then TedC. Then Celebitchy/Lainey. I didn't like CDAN because it was an awkward site for my Crapberry. Now that I have reluctantly converted to Android, I can sort of navigate this site-though I have my complaints-and since I have been exiled from Celebitchy commenting, I spend a tad more time here. When the little bebe in IRobit's fam went to heaven, I realized what a beautiful online community you are. I recognize DListers & Celebitches. I enjoy all of the different communities-Celebitches are totally witty and DListers are just the raunchiest bunch if nutso's-but there is a special warmth here.

    Personally, i cannot imagine the ability to be so consistent and not lose the edge that Enty (mostly) maintains. There is an air of benevolent acceptance all around-even for hge occasional trollmonster-and I am glad that this little oasis of comradery in the midst of the madness is here.

    Sometimes I wonder what people are doing spending such time online. Myself included. But somehow the essential anonymity allows for things to be said that would otherwise be locked up. And that is a gift that can be very precious indeed.

    Mostly though, I think people are wierd and it is NICE to be able to say it, share it, and BE it.

    Rock on Enty! Get yourself a nice bottle of your favorite indulgence and raise a glass to yourself. This is QUITE an accomplishment even if it pays little.

  56. Aww I feel so special. In celebration of this milestone enty should reveal a juicy blind like who's the new coke mom who pimped out her kid or another mv clue.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I've been coming here for over two years now. The time sure flew. I don't even comment on other gossip sites. To all lurkers, I just want to say don't be shy. It all starts with a single comment. I made one comment in a post 2 1/2 years ago, then another, came back each day and kept commenting regularly. Now I feel like one of the gang. Every day, every week I'm here.

    I'm not leaving either.

    Congrats Enty.

    Anyway, welcome to all the lurkers! Come out and play! Not many bite, and those who do quickly get their peepee's whacked. We stand up for our friends here!
    Love you, Enty. All of your personalities. :) Congrats on your 25k!

  65. Congrats Enty! I've been lurking since nearly the beginning and rarely allow a day to go by without a visit here! Thank you for affording me a brief escape from reality, entertainment while waiting for appointments, a way to kill time on car rides, a snark outlet, and this list goes on and on! Of course, this site wouldn't be what it is without all of the awesome commenters...although I do wish some of the OGs would make a comeback :(

  66. What does MV mean? What is the MV Blind??

    ReplyDelete
  67. Congrats Enty and thank you for this blog : )

    ReplyDelete
  68. @ Carrie, it is the mother of all blinds here at CDAN. Everything comes back to MV, lol. On the left side of the screen go to labels and in the drop down find MV. It will give you all the blinds/updates on her. And if you never have, I suggest you go back to the first year or two of the site and read all the old posts/blinds especially the "long blind items" there's some good stuff in there :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. Awww....group hug everyone! Yay, Enty!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Oh "Enty" whoever you are, the new owner(s) of this site, how could you have any 'memories' of the first day of thsi site? Is this a guest post from the long gone founder?

    You are all so sad, gossiping and commenting about fake stories of people you don't even know and are just plain jealous of. Don't you have lives? Go get some lives. Lives, I tell you, LIVES!!!!!

    /trolling.

    Lord, that BS was hard to write. How do people troll for a living? It takes too much energy and makes my head hurt.

    Happy 25,000th post Enty. Welcome lurkers. Shout out to the regulars. :)

    ReplyDelete
  71. This is pretty much the only gossip site I go to now. And definitely the ONLY one where I look at the comments. Happy 25,000!!! I think of you Enty every time I see that LaQuinta ad where he "brings home the bacon"

  72. Wow 7 years! Ups and downs and lots of laughs and intrigue. And who amongst.us can forget the enthusiasm of Timmy/Shemy? Thanks and hugs to all! Bacon and cocktails all around.

  75. Congrats Enty!

    I have definitely made some real life friends through this site - you know who you are ;)

    I've been reading and commenting since around Timmy/ Shimmy - can't remember if that was the blind that brought me here or if it was posted shortly after I started reading. All I know is that if MV is ever revealed, it'll be the same thing - so many red herrings in the BI that when you know the reality of it, it's not really that big of a deal...*L* I still love the site though, even though I don't comment as much as I used to!

    Happy 25,000 post Enty and CDAN Family! You've all been there for me during some dark, dark times. I love you guys, and our cyber family. I look forward to coming here, think about posts and comments on my off time. I love this site, the comments, the incredibly juicy dirt, blinds and reveals. The tone that new stories are written in are gold Enty, you mix humor with heart excellently and we appreciate you!!!!! Please don't ever stop this site, it's a beacon of humanity and integrity, in an otherwise inky well of soulless comercialism and sensationalist media lies.
