I've thought the same about this thread too, Fox. That was until yesterday's actions and the banning (scrambling) of some of our leaders. That was a new low, and I think it will all die shortly now that all of the CS mods have resigned.

It is clear that we have something better than what we left behind, I respectfully ask my fellow inmates to let this issue fall aside and die, we are better than that, that is why we came here.

Thank you,

I understand everyone's feelings.... CS was my first home in the slide down hill. Yesterday I deleted the link in favorites. I felt it was time to leave the old behind and look toward the future, herfing with my fellow inmates. I encourage everyone to do the same. CS is gone and I don't wish to visit there anymore and help JC's online hit rating.

Could these be dummy accounts to replace all the surfacing gorillas/inmates? It would sure make the topics/post count look better....

Just food for thought from an insane former Gorilla.
Multiple accounts are not allowed. JC is gonna get banned at his own site if he's not careful.

Did the new Mods resign? I'd check for myself, but I'm now banned.

Funny that on Cigar Live a lot of the posters seem to look forward to the change.

I've stopped doing anything there but checking the newbie forums for other Bay Area people, but I think that's even gonna stop. First I was angry, then sad, now just don't care.

But again, CS lives on here pretty much in reality as well as spirit. This is where my friends are and this is where I'll be happy to call home. Thanks to the 11 for putting up this site. Now I just need to figure out how to become a site supporter here.

Any chance of getting some of the members on a life raft before they go down with the ship? Despite never being there, I am sure there are some decent members over there who could contribute to the rest of us nut jobs.

I guess you could say I got knocked out of the forum
or maybe you could say I split
or even that I figured I might get banned for posting a tinylink and sure enough hit the nail on the head.

While I agree with what silverfox said, Jon is a child. I really could care less about that ring gauge BS and he keeps knocking it down. It's funny how immature the owner of that site is. I put that link up to this site in my sig so hopefully some of those guys see it and come over here before I get banned.

At least JC is getting his sense of humor back. I liked his quote about finding a "sucker" to be the next mod.
