Someday someone new

It will be a testament as to how many folks sought refuge during October 2008 due to various reasons, but one reason in particular.

11 years from now forums as we know them today won't exist. Prepare yourself for something completely different.

This is a rare phenomenon it seems to me, at least in my life experience. I can't think of a time where a large group made a collective decision and acted decisively like us. And so effortlessly. There have always been splinter groups who break away from organizations, but this is atypical and amazing to witness.

I have a dinner date Friday, but I "may" be able to swing by. If I bring her with me, hands off! LOL!

Well said.

I said before it happened, Jon or anyone for that matter can't take 'CS" from the members....all he can take is a web addy.

I think it's more a testament to the team of 11 and the amount of us that they have touched and the respect that they have built throughout the years!

I'm so happy we have guys here that can put to words what I fail miserably at.

I've been touched?!?!?! Should I make a report?

Seriously though, this is what I see as the motivation for a group of random people to act in concert.

I have to say this has re-vitialized me. The last year I hardly participated in the boards, aside from a few threads/themes. I did not even bother to go into most of the cigar rooms. So thank you.

G G · 10-22-2008, 12:12 PM

It is nice to have a place where we can be excited about it.

GrtndpwrflOZ · 10-22-2008, 12:31 PM

Thanks

I think it's true that people want to go where the good guys go.

Just to be clear, hands off the girl or the gars???

I agree that it is a testament to the team of 11. A lot of forums I've been on, the mods were the worst part. To see everyone leave and go with the mods shows that the general populace felt the spirit they loved at CS was cultivated by these select few and would be likely to continue wherever they went.

DrDubzz · 10-22-2008, 01:11 PM

feels good to be in on the ground floor, everyone here will help to shape this community for a long while. here's to the future of CA, and to the 11 who made it possible for us to be a part of it

I agree. These folks have imparted quite a bit of cigar knowledge and general good will. Hats off!
