Two cents...

Cigary

It's cyclical and comes and goes on every Cigar Forum. Does it get to be too much...yeah but I just gloss over threads that I know I'm not interested in and move on. If I stopped and read every thread I'd probably burn my eyes out with a torch. Everybody has their interests and newbies tend to follow threads like you mentioned while FOG's just look for anything that looks like it could be interesting....that's what I do.

Thanks Ken. I appreciate your observations. As a noob myself, it's been difficult to figure out how things go here, and I'm sure I've gotten caught up in the enthusiasm you are referring to. I take your "two cents" as a good wake up call. Thanks again.

Ken I see what you are saying but at the same time I feel as if it has been going on since I've been a member. I think staying active and trying too understand helps out. I do feel as if people have gone with one side or the other and yeah sometimes your opinion doesn't count. But that being said if nobody wants too take advise that is on them. Also in terms of clicks I really don't care I'm here too try too educate and learn something new. There will always be some kind of bs on forums and trust me I've bitten my tongue a lot. Just don't let it bother you and keep on going

It comes down to the forum being an always expanding thing/place. Old people/idea leave and new people/ideas continue on. Good old people/ideas continue on. Bad new people/ideas fade. Deep, huh?Did you guys know that a lot of people questioned why we need a "Whatcha smoking this afternoon" thread? That started in August 2011 and has 571,377 views.Posting this is not going to change forum, but I do like to hear what people have to say. I'm learning myself to move on if I don't like a thread/post, because at the end of the day it's an internet forum. If you don't like people begging to get bombed, then don't bomb them. I know RoRo hates it....and do you have to have like 3K posts before he knows your name People are right, this happens every few months or so.This is not the board of old and it never will be. I'll limit myself to this one post, because I can dang sure get caught up in some stuff!

I agree with cigary, its cyclical. It happens on all forums, not just cigar. Yes it's going to drive people away, not just noobs it's a large part of the reason I'm not around much. But it happens on all of them. Just know, no matter what your intentions you are creating a 'clique' by doing it.

this is a shame because through lurking on the forums maddy was the person that came up the most and one of the reasons I joined

I agree with Ken. I have been a member for 4 1/2 years, but I am not a post whore or a thread jacker so most people don't know who I am. The friendships that have been formed from this forum are a great thing, however this is becoming a clique.

Will somebody explain the clique aspect of these complaints. I just don't get it. I don't know who's in a clique. I don't know who isn't. Am I in a clique? If I am I don't know it. And who's a post whore? Name names. LOL

Ugh let's just all try too be friends and welcome the newbs...tongue is swollen

OK we've joked about this but really,....Imma be serious for a minute..You are not really what I would call a post whore. I would say that someone who puts too much emphasis on post count and intentionally posts a lot of empty fluff content just to raise their numbers would be a post whore. I don't think you do that. You are an enthusiastic newbie. So am I.

Lee.mcglynn

Here's a point...does post count matter or time on the forums?? I'd rather have time on the forums then post count!
