I love this place!

A day without The Asylum is like......night. Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as knowledge, friendship,

, and an almost fanatical devotion to the TOE!

We appreciate the fanaticism

Dave is correct, this forum is only as good as its members. And we're the best around

And Joe, thank you for your post

Sweet,thanks everyone!

I posted this last year... and it is still true.

Quote:

Do you guys remember what it was like a year ago?

I was nearly despondent...
All the changes at our former home were frustrating at best... and infuriating at worst. I truly felt like something I had come to appreciate deeply had been irrevocably destroyed - and I was saddened by that. Accusations flew, friendships were strained... betrayals, and accusations of betrayals were rampant. My cherished little community was crumbling...

Then, all the mods left "en masse!" I wasn't sure what to think, but very soon I heard that 11 men that I trusted had decided the time had come to start a new forum. A difficut decision, I'm sure. Tons of work and criticism everywhere. But you 11 believed something of that incredible community could be salvaged.

You were right.

I probably sound foolish or melodramatic with my characterization of the Fall of 2008, but that is how I felt. I could say "thank you" for what you 11 men did, but truthfully? "Thank you" just doesn't begin to convey my gratitude.

I hope you all can derive some gratification and satisfaction from the number of folks who have made CA their on-line home. Not just CS expatriates, but the new folks who come here everyday and find the very best parts of what the jungle meant to us all.

Forgive the verbosity... I could have gone on for several more pages.

Please just know that you have made a huge positive impact in the life of a graying, chubby, novice cigar smoker in North Carolina - who thinks of you as family. Blessings on each of you.

Its cool that so many people have chosen to make this a community through their participation and energy. I have always viewed the forum as "community owned". No active participants - no community. Those of us who were "Forum Software aware" got the ball rolling. Julian (MMBLZ) in particular is the reason this got off the ground technically. The TOE spent a couple weeks getting forums, rules, look and feel etc. set-up 2 years ago and continue to play janitor when there is a cleanup on aisle 3 issue. But, for the past 2 years everyone here has made it what it is.

Kudos to every member who contributes in their own unique way to make this place what it is. The 4680 rock!

VTDragon · 09-29-2010, 10:18 AM

I want to add my thanks to The Eleven. This is the only forum of any kind that I regularly visit and it is through their efforts that it exists.

E.J. · 09-28-2010, 09:37 PM

I happened on this place almost exactly a year ago.... So pleased I did, it is really an amazing community.

A BIG thanks to the TOE and to the members of CA that make this place what it is....

Jbailey · 09-28-2010, 11:30 PM

I can't say thank you enough to the TOE.

I've got the chance to meet some of the greatest people and honored to call them friends. The cigars are just perks.

plus these are awesome.
