Why Do You Love the Asylum? - Page 2

Stig · 10-25-2010, 11:54 AM

I love it because I have made friends on the board that are now friends off the board as well and will most likely be friends for life. The generosity amongst the BOTL's on this board is second to none and I have on occasions too numerous to count seen many members go way above and beyond what would be considered neccesary to help out someone that they barely know. I have also enjoyed the great education that I have received from talking to many who are still far more knowledgable than I will every be about our great hobby.

I also like that the lighting makes Pnoon's head look shiny and new.

Real Simple, it's the Brotherhood.

This is my virtual home!!!

I have nothing but good to say about this place and the people here (except for Mean Darrell)!!!

I remember going to my first herf after meeting some of the botl online. I was concerned about what to expect. Now I can't imagine what my life would have been like without this place and good friends I've made here.

Some of the sotl/botl I have had the opportunity to Herf with, and many I have yet to meet physically. There are a number of you who I want to meet up with because I know we have so much in common.

For you who have not Herfed: I know you feel close to the people here but meeting together brings a new appreciation for this place.

Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!!!

All of you with the exception of this guy are the reason we are here

Forums will come and go over time and sadly when they go,the community they themselves have built are left without a place to call their own.
This has happened to some of us already,that's why we are here.
Thanks for being here my friends

Matthew,you know where to send my cut.

Really odd, but there seems to be something else typed in the post...it's really faint, hard to detect...wait a minute, it's coming through....here it is:

This place has taught me sooooo much about the hobby and the brotherhood is AWESOME!! The friends I have made here are people whom I will call friends forever...and many I have never met face to face.

Everyones breath is just as horrible as mine.

btw- my nigerian friend wants your bank info so he can wire you that money.

I love this place because of the brotherhood. Finding places to share a cigar are getting hard to find as well as likeminded people to talk about and enjoy them with are also getting hard to find.
I am headed to my first herf, and I have never met anyone there before, but I feel like they are friends.

Kelly hit pretty straight on!

I am a member of another forum(think fish) and I did make a couple friends there, but here seems to be entirely different. I have already made new friends here and herfed with them. Something I never did elsewhere. We even have another herf planned in a couple weeks where I will meet new peeps from here and get to know them in person. Some of the friends I made over there all seemed to gravitate to here.

I am by no means a expert in our hobby, but I love to learn from the BOTL and SOTL here so I can expand on what I have already learned and extend that knowledge to others who may not know.

Thanks to the ToE for making CA what it is today
