Thank you gentlemen for what you have provided to us, the Brothers and Sisters of the Leaf

Absolutely!

We are fortunate indeed to have so many selfless and talented leaders. You should be proud of what you have crafted here in such a short time. :ss

I'll have to agree. CA has quickly become the #1 cigar site in my eyes.

Hear, hear, SF, and humble thanks to the 11. The speed at which this site has taken off is the greatest testament to their work.

From the bottom of our hearts (and I feel the rest of the team feel the same way) we thank you for your kind words. We are sure if any others were in our position and had the means to, you would have done the same. We wanted what you wanted. We needed what you needed.

Well said, Kel.

I am deeply moved by the incredible support and kind words Cigar Asylum has received in our first week of existence. But without the general membership, the forum doesn't exist. Thanks to all who are a part of something truly special.

Here's to all 11 for creating a new place to call home:)

It's really amazing to me that our mods could even put this together in the short amount of time they had to work with. I can barely fathom the amount of work that went into this. The site already feels like home, and the esprit de corps that's developed in a week is great.

It's just hard to thank these 11 guys enough.

It pains me when I have to agree with the old Hairball. However, this time he is spot on.

Thank you, each and everyone of you.

but no general membership without a forum. This is no "chicken or egg" question, there had to be a forum before general membership could excist, and you guys, the group of 11, made it possible,

Thank you!

SF, that's a wonderful Kipling quote. Thank you for posting it. And thanks to everyone who's making this place home.

Without y'all, it'd just be the eleven of us sitting around talking to each other.

All of you are the reason we did this.None of us could fathom seeing our family go off in all different directions,possibly to never meet again.

So we thank all of you for being here with us. All for one and one for all :)

From the 11 with gratitude, but we were but the construction crew. It's everyones party here. We are all the hosts. We are all the guests. The future is what we all make of it. This place is a tribute to the overlapping circles of friendship and interaction ... the ties that bind.

Bump

Only been a a short while and can easily say, with assurance, this is my home away from home. An extremely great group of Brothers and Sisters Of The Leaf that more and more feel like family as opposed to just another screen name

Coming up on the 2 year Anniversary, thought this may be a great time to Thank our selfless Powers That Be...

So, thanks Team Of 11 for giving me a place to call home and the opportunity to interact with some of the finest Brothers and Sisters Of The Leaf!

And without meaning to take this off on a tangent, I also miss the OP.

Re: To the 11 with thanks
 
Thanks? Thanks? I should punish the ToE for stealing so much of my valuable time over the last two years and for providing all those enablers that make me spend my money on cigars ;) :ss

I spend more time here than on my own website & Dutch forum, guess that says more than enough on how I feel about this site.

Thanks for all the kudos, folks. But as we have said in the past, this site is nothing without the members that define the community. The TOE is thankful for everyone here.

While I also am still quite new around here, I feel I've found a special place on the interwebs and thank the ToE much for their continued time and energy poured into keeping this place ticking.

THANKS! :tu

This thread brings me darned close to tears. Thank you TOE! Thank you Inmates! Thank you Cigar Asylum! This is my home away from home and most of the time my home while at home!

Where's Shawn? Last thing I remember he was going to do a triathlon or something and losing weight. Is he okay?

I got all excited when I saw who the thread was started by and thought he was back. Wishful thinking I guess

Starscream 08-18-2010 03:39 PM

Re: To the 11 with thanks
 
I miss Shawn as well. I hope he's still being successful at becoming a healthier person (probably in peak shape by now).

Shawn, if you're ever lurking and see this thread, let it be notice that many here wish you were back at CA again!
