i would like to know why you think that's funny?
there are a number of us here that took a great deal of time, effort, and a sh*tload of pride into making that place one of the best places (friendly/helpful) for pipe info on the net.
i'd add that the "other place" is mainly a cigar forum, and that the pipe forum didn't exist until just a few years ago, making it's mention in a large survey like this an honor.

sorry if I take offense to your "thumbs down", I personally invested a lot of time in making that place a great area for pipers...
if you're just giving the thumbs down to the current owner, then i'll agree with you there (although he really doesn't even poke his head down there - and that portion of the site has steadily grown and continues to be one of the best places online for discussing pipes and pipe tobacco).

that other place is a helluva lot busier than this place.

Seriously Greg? Thats exactly what bothers me. I had a decent amount on interaction with you know who when the transition was happening and it sucks that something we all put so much effort into is part of that mess. The fact that older CS members go there even after the way so many of us got treated baffles me even further.

So yeah, I thought is sucked when PVFF got a mention of that survey too

I have often wondered why that is?

I'll admit it to ya Joe, I still go there. As you know, prior to late '08, there's over 10 years of valuable archives of knowledge and that's still hard for me to give up. I could give two chits about anything posted after 10/08 but I still like to read and research over there.

I don't care one way or another Greg, I understand your point of view. I just don't agree with supporting it these days that's all
