Cigar forums - one-woman man or player?

[jjirons69]

Just had the strangest encounter - or feeling. First off, never have been a big forum person. Did some garden forums back years ago but the most time ever spent on any forum was back in the CS Gorilla days. That was the only cigar forum I was a member of. Then the transition here in 10/08 and really never went back to the fish site, except to dissolve my associations with all my loose ends. Fast foward to today - I just went back to look up something I remember from years ago, thanks to Cliff. It was such an eerie feeling. I logged on. No new PMs. Last visit 12/09 (don't remember that). Looking around old posts - it seemed like a quiet shipwreck on the ocean floor. You knew there was action and liveliness at one time, but it was no longer there. It felt like you were going back to visit an old girlfriend. The things and people you remember are still there, but it's totally different and the warm feelings are gone. It was weird. I was ready to leave. Got my info and logged out. Nice to come back home the warm orange, yellow, and tan glow here.

I'm old-school. I'm a one-woman man. This is my cigar home. I don't venture. I don't care to know what else is out there. I see new faces come and go, but I get a sense of security seeing the same old guys I've been following cigars and life events for going on 4 years now. BTW, this is also the only forum of any type I participate in. I'm an avid Internet user, but I get my buddy fix here.

Again, thanks goes out to the TOE for a sweet meeting place. Home is where the heart is. (and an ad-free home at that!)

Time for an LCG #3.
