Wishing Our Own cgolden Good Luck!
Unless you've stumbled across the site in the last 24-96 hours, you probably know who cgolden is. cgolden showed up on 'Curtain one day, started commenting, then continued to comment, then commented some more. For months and months.
When I vacationed in Paris last summer, I asked him and a few others to post some content on the main page in my absence. He, and others, obliged. When I returned home, I did not rescind his main page posting abilities, but instead gave him the green light to post on occasion. Since then, I've worked on many a posts with him, chatted with him endlessly, and gotten to know him quite well. His help has been a blessing. When you invest as much free time as I do in this, it's hard to surrender any control to anybody. You work to establish a 'voice' and you become weary of others altering said voice and tone, for better or worse. With cgolden, my worries were limited.
When the opportunity arose for me to reccommend somebody for the Arizona Cardinals blog here on the network, I quickly thought of Charles (sorry man, tired of typing cgolden) . He's no Cardinals fan like he is a Steelers fan, but there was an interest in the team and an interest from him in assuming leadership of the site (it had been dormant for several months).
Much of the community and congenial atmosphere on this place is due to him chiming in, responding to others' thoughts, welcoming new readers, etc. I have no doubt that he'll bring the same level of energy and insight to his new digs. I expect Charles to continue to be around quite a bit, but his main focus will now be on Revenge of the Birds.
Please join me in wishing Charles good luck on his endeavor as well as thanking him for his countless contributions towards making BTSC the best Steelers fan site on the internet (do it).
Good luck and don't be a stranger! Bitch ass traitor :)

Yeah, I saw that a couple of days ago
I was wondering what was up when I saw on the SBN home page that cgolden was the blogger for the Arizona Cardinals Blog. Since you were still posting over here, I thought you might continue to work both. Oh, well. Good luck. We might have some reason for cross posting with all of the former Steelers joining the Cards. :)

Good luck Golden
Jeez, someone just commented on another thread that the Cardinals were taking Steeler type players. Now they’re taking our bloggers too. Forget ‘Revenge of the Birds’, might as well call it ‘West of the Steel Curtain’.
Miss ya Charles.

The ransacking of Steelers nation continues.
But don’t be too sad. He’ll still be around. When one is confronted with the choice of Steelers or Cardinals, it’s pretty easy to guess which side will win most of the time.

yea
It’s not like I’m not leaving Curtain or anything. I’ll still be around commenting and dropping the occasional diary. I’ve always had an interest in the Cards and they’ve grown to my second favorite team since they’ve tried so hard to become the Steelers. In the end, this was just an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up. Not to worry though, I’ll still be around waving my terrible towel.

Good luck, dude.
Unfortunately, I think I’m too tired to say anything more profound than that. But it’s not like this is “Goodbye” or anything, so I think I’ll leave it there.

Have fun in Steelers West. You’ve done a lot to make this site what it is. If you can find any Cardinals fans, I’m sure they’ll appreciate your efforts

Whiz & Gold
Everyone knows I have great respect for Whiz and Grimm and the program they are attempting to build in AZ. I wish much luck to Charles and promise to visit once in a while especially if the Steelers are on their schedule.
Love the new digs the Cards have. Saw them beat the Steelers in the first exhibition game there in Ben’s post motocross debut and the Stones and Alice Cooper just last year.
Let’s not say farewell Gold, lets just say “On Any Given Sunday.” Here We Go Steelers!

First Whiz, then Grimm, then Golden
We keep losing great people to the Arizona Cardinals. I have learned alot from Charles and I will miss him. This site is better for him having been a part of it. I wish we had all three back and i hope we don’t lose any more. Thanks Charles. Best wishes.

Funny that it’s become the most natural transition from Steeler to Cardinal. Good luck with the site, hopefully the birds will have a good season prompting some more fandom.
Any word on whether you’ll be taking Wiggins with you? I’m sure he’ll be happy to tell you everything to say about them.

So, is one of the reason
you became a Cards fan because of the shared hatred of the Cowboys? :)

definitely played a role in it
Still remember they’re only playoff win since I’ve been alive, just so happened it was a 20-7 win over the ‘Boys. Just so happened, cgolden became a man during that game.

Yeah, definitely understand that connection :)
When I was still in college, the Panthers joined the league, so I very much enjoyed watching them finish off the ‘boys dynasty. :)

Good luck
and have fun running your blog. Just like losing assistant coaches to be head coaches elsewhere, it will be bittersweet. From the looks of this site, Cards fans will be lucky to have a great blog to read.
