Cigar LIVE !!!!!!!!

[guado]

My love of CS has declined drastically over the last few months. All because of drama. I stay out of drama because if it doesn't involve me i don't want to be in it.

I love helping out the newbies, making samplers, PIF's, PASSes etc on here. I have met a GREAT group of people and was welcomed very well here. This place has a special place in my heart.

However, the last few months just seemed to have drama, jabs, cheap shots, snide remarks littered throughout. IMO that makes the board crap. I HATE seeing stuff like that. I HATE having to take sides to stay "cool" on the board. It seems that some were able to constantly dig at things and others were jumped on for coughing. Like I stated before....I stayed out of the drama and for good reasons. The less I know the happier I am, the same reason I do not ever watch any news except for 3minutes of weather in the morning before I go to work.

With that said. I still post here, I still trade here, I still help out when I can. But the drama has brought down this board considerably. I however stay away from it and do my best to avoid it. Sometimes it is just hard but I make the best and enjoy all the boards I can.

I will add CL is not the only place i have been hanging out on lately. That is one of the other places I have found.

Was this the place that stole Moki's shit a couple of months ago? I forget and don't feel like searching CP.

[kevin7]

No it was the "cigar hut" IIRC

[nhcigarfan]

That's right, thanks Kevin.

I received an invite as did several people. I was not influenced to leave this board whatsoever and I have not left this board. I, along with a lot of others, belong to several boards. If I post more on one vs. another, it means nothing other than the subjects at hand have something for me to add to at a particular time. CL is new, therefore the sky is the limit as far as what can be posted without it being old news or existing in the archives of the search function. Also, with it being new, time will tell how well it does and the general membership atmosphere. It is touted as being BS free, but that is impossible. Moderatation seems to be of issue over there and I am not impressed with some of what I am seeing. Anyway, people should feel free to belong to several boards and roam them at their own will. So Dan to answer your questions: No and No.

[nhcigarfan]

James invited me. So I went. So far, seems cool.


Wrong.

I signed up there a while back after hearing about it on a couple of podcasts. I think 95% of my posts are welcomes to new members. Much like cigarpass, cigarlive is a little too busy for me to keep up with all that is going on. I'm curious how the moderators will shape that forum. I have seen a lot of the members here joining that board. IMO, that in itself says something about the way people feel about CS right now. I assume folks are a little tired of the temper tantrums and hissy fits that have plagued CS lately. There has been a lot of drama here recently but it will pass as it always does. When there is a lot of drama going on I usually don't post much, mainly because of the lack of cigar content. I still consider this my home board, and don't plan on going anywhere.

I had 2 invites, and signed up. I haven't had much of a chance to spend much time there yet. Between 3 cigar boards, 2 pipe boards, 2 shaving boards, work, golf, motorcycling, yard work, teaching on weekends, etc I'm friggin' surprised I find time to smoke!!!!

I echo much of what James, Dan and Guado said, not all, but much of it.

Dan, I tried to say similar things in a different way in a thread I started. Obviously that bombed horribly, so all I can say is:

<<INCOMING>>

shaving boards?

[ReV]

i joined the other site... boom invited me... big fucking deal... since when do i have to pledge allegiance to one board or the other?... CS is great and a little drama between other members completely not related to me isn't going to make me stop posting somewhere... everyone is too caught up on 'who's starting what'...

What? they have shaving boards? Damn.

[CoventryCat86]

What? they have shaving boards? Damn.

Instead of topics like "cello on or cello off" they must have "Electric or disposable razor" and subjects like "Best place to buy shaving cream."

[Newfie]

snip....subjects like "Best place to buy shaving cream."

Yup!!

snip...."Electric or disposable razor"....snip

BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!!

Those words are akin to "Grape White Owls" and "Acid Kuba Kuba" if you'd like to compare the subjects and thoughts between sites.

2 shaving boards

SHAVING BOARDS???? WTF?????

[CoventryCat86]

SHAVING BOARDS???? WTF?????

Did ya notice how sid is going after me on a board where I've been banned and I cannot defend myself? (Not that I give a crap but I know some of you HP guys do).

Please take note that I am no longer engaging in that on HP since you brought it up.

Thanks!

No, I didn't notice. I assume you are referring to Cigar Live, which I had never heard of before reading this thread. Maybe I'll go check it out. Maybe not.

Should have read further, we already hijacked this. Also, now there's a whole thread about it in the general section.

So I saw after I posted what I posted. My bad.
