Hello, Buckeye Planet members!

Buckeye Planet is getting a new coat of paint, and you’re not going to be asked to pay a dime.

Meet your new sponsor, Plum Diamonds. We’re going to make a few site upgrades in early 2023 and then keep the lights on. You just keep being you.

Plus, a bonus: here's priority access to a reputable, high-quality jeweler. From now on, whether you need fine jewelry or just need your jewelry questions answered, “you gotta guy.”

​

The BP + Plum Connection

Plum Diamonds crafts premium, made-to-order lab grown diamond rings. We're an online jeweler with a long history in custom jewelry production and our own certified-sustainable manufacturer.

Hi, my name is Kristy aka @diamondgirl, and I’m with Plum.

You might be asking, why is a diamond ring company sponsoring a sports fan forum? I admit it’s not because I know much about sports myself.

The connection between Buckeye Planet and Plum Diamonds was made by longtime BP member, Ohio State alum, former college player, Ohio native, and all-around OSU super fan @heisman.

@heisman 's got a passion for OSU sports and an interest in jewelry, so viola! Here we are. In his own words, “I’m incredibly grateful to be a small part of the BP community and tremendously excited to make a much larger contribution to it moving forward.”



Although I can’t wax poetic about college sports, I do care very much that a rich community like Buckeye Planet stays intact and thrives. Plum Diamonds is going to ensure that this is exactly what happens.

You’ll never be asked to pay or donate, and soon you’ll see some site updates and social media that I hope you’re going to love.

What else can we give you?

@heisman and I are going to make sure that BP-connected clients always get VIP service, deals, direct access to a trusted jeweler, and more.

We know what we're doing. (I mean, not @heisman, he doesn't actually know how to make jewelry. But the rest of the team knocks it outta the park!)

I can’t wait to get to know and support this amazing community. The best virtual sports bar in the galaxy.


About Lab Diamonds

Lab grown diamonds are physically and chemically the same as mined (aka natural) diamonds.

There are 2 main differences between mined diamonds and lab diamonds: place and price.

Place because mined diamonds were created deep within the earth and require harmful excavation to extract. Lab diamonds are created by scientists.

Price because mined diamonds are priced 3-5x higher than lab diamonds.

beFORE comic book adaptions were cool!

 

I do want to say thank you to @heisman for keeping the lights on a few more years. I do recall back in 2022 or so we almost lost this place then.

 

whatever you guys do. Please don't make suffer through ozone/reddit sytyle threads. Chronological is the only way

 

Discord might be an option. I use it, but it's very sparing for me.

I've been on discord a little, if anyone sets one up I'd probably check it out.

It was very real then, as it is now.

 

Marks the end of an era for certain. I've been frequenting this site (previously as an account-less lurker) since at least 2007-2008, a few years before I attended Ohio State for undergrad and truly made Columbus my home. I'll greatly miss this community and all of you; sometimes sensible, often humorous, occasionally insightful and deeply heartfelt. Wishing you all the best, hope to catch up with you all at a high-end happy hour someday in the not-so distant future!

 

If you guys are looking for more support, I would link to this or Mikes thread in about every place anyone has posted lately, people interact with stuff weird.

 

This fringe lunatic is now a very sad fringe lunatic. I can’t even join yall in the book of faces as I’ve sworn I will never join that place until Suckerberg shows up at my house with multiple xxl duffle bags full of gold bars/silver bars/a large assortment of non traceable bills.

If this is the end. I will be a sad lunatic, 16 years nearly to the day of keeping this lunatic outta the loonie bin. It been a pleasure ladies and gentlemen (yes I use that term loosely).

Edit: happy to donate what I can to financials if we get that going

Or tell script that it belongs in every thread

 

Thank you for your great support, Heisman. BP will live on in our memories. It allowed me to keep in touch with Ohio State and Columbus. It is indeed a very sad but understandable outcome. Thanks very much to all of you. Be well. God bless.

 

Thanks everyone for the sanity that has been provided throughout the last 20+ years. @buckeyebri and I have been on here since 2004 with some cameo appearances from Teddy..

Wishing everyone the best!

 

Not that I would like to keep in touch with a bunch of elitist pricks, but I do follow on Facebook and use Discord. Send me a PM if you would like to connect in another way.

 

Sad to see this place go. IMO it was the best OSU message board out there. I stumbled upon this place in 2007, and loved every minute. People on this site are more informed than most other sites, and a large portion of fans IRL

Feel the same way. I stumbled upon BP around the same time and haven't really visited any other boards since. As you said, the people here seem to be much more informed and knowledgable than other places and we generally don't have to deal with idiotic trolls. The mods have always done a great job of dealing with them swiftly.
The fact that BP doesn't seem to widely known ( as oppposed to Rivals, On3 11W ) gave this place a real sense of community and family. I've met very few of you mooks in the "real world" but it feels like many here are friends, neighbors and family. I don't know that a white night can ride in and save it, but I'll pray that it happens. I know I woild gladly pay if we moved to some form of subscription service.
Meanwhile, I sit here heartbroken knowing that the greatest Buckeye community on the internet is coming to an end.

 

Would like to thank Clarity and Heisman for all the years of sacrifice and the numerous administrators and mods.

This is the first site that I have checked daily since the beginning.

I am not on any social media so this is the closest thing to it that I have had.

This was a COMMUNITY!!
