Things seem to be really dormant around here.

I wonder if maybe it is just the fact that there are not enough active members to support a forum, or if perhaps there is just not enough new a fresh discussion going on for this place to thrive.

in all reality this is a VERY small forum. Its new. There are other forums out there that are huge. ... and to be quite honest, they arent as full of info, and the percentage of good people is lower. here we are a group of friends. we arent out for anything but learning about cigars and what others think about cigars. we all read every post. we have actual discussions. we learn.
I was at another forum a few minutes ago (2:48 AM. ) and there were 79 people viewing the general discussion section alone. AT ALMOST 3 AM!! I find the info at that forum very dilutted. there are questions and there are answers, but they arent in depth. within 10 minutes there are 15 posts in every thread. this makes it difficult to read and deal with and take in. (at least for me)
I am finding that i like the cigar.com forum more and more. It may even be edging out the Eotac forum as my favorite. why? its about cigars,and only cigars. There are good people in here. we talk. we learn. we discuss. we dont feel like no one is reading our posts. even the person with one post is being heard. I like it that way. Its like a small town. i like small towns. More are welcome to come in, i just hope it retains its friendly atmosphere.
I feel the same way. With a lot of people it is harder to navigate, and more problems seem to develop. Here, it is almost like goin to your local shop, sittin down and sharing a stick with some friends.
One thing to consider, with the weather getting nicer, more people might be enjoying getting outside and playing.
I know I'm reading as much as I can and learning a lot as I go. This hobby is really complex and thought provoking. I knew that some people were really into cigars, but I didn't think it was as huge as it is. I've come a long way in the last few months and I'm having a great time.

Like I've said before, I'm a curious person, always asking questions....so, that's about it.

Hopefully i can pop in here a bit more regularly too. I really do like the group we have
...so nothing has changed. I still know nothing. but i like to help out where i can. its like giving back to a community that i have taken so much from
I wonder what some think now. Theres more people here and a lot of feedback on questions and suggestions. A lot of buzz in the forum from before. Good or bad Do you guys think it's moving in the right direction since then? I truly hope so, because everyday I'm either learning something from our forum members. Or having some fun in here. Once again, just me searching through the forum old threads....
And where are some of these origanal BOTL's at these days?
Lol, glad your back Mr. Glen.
Man, I hear that!! Won't be long and my son and I will be spending considerably more time on the river fishing for stripers and burning stogies. 'Course, I could still squeeze in a post or two with my iPhone but, sure as h3ll, that'd be when I'd get a strike and miss it. Ah, well, nobody said life was fair.... or easy.
