  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

First timer here - if I had to pick between Saturday and Sunday, which day would you choose?

Thanks guys. Didn't occur to me that a schedule would be posted online. Saturday it is.

What's the deal with PSF? I forgot my password, and have been trying to reset it for months with no luck.
Not sure. They had a mass exodus not too long ago. Banning and quiting. I've actually kinda got away from there lately. Just wasn't the same I guess. Is there someone I can hit up for you to help with your password?

I joined PSF for a couple of months along with a few others. Got really nasty when some people started posting pics of stuff other than pipes. The admins removed the pics, people took offense and started posting more specifically to piss off the admins.

A bunch of guys went to another group and suddenly there was a lot of bad blood between the groups. One guy took a pic of the group owner and made him look like Hitler.

All this over a hobby? That was right around the time when the piping group here started to get quite active so I said "fuck it" and quit the two or three groups I joined on FB.

Much better vibe here, of course.

Self importance requires a person to be offended their entire lives by people, places, or things.


Why do I love BOTL? Because unless something is posted that is intentionality insulting, the brothers don't take offense. That is honestly very rare in the forum world.

I've never encountered an online community so devoid of butthurt as BOTL.
Yeah, a lot of butthurt happened recently on a cigar forum that begins with "p" and ends with "f."

It's always been interesting to me that people would get so bent out of shape over something that could be completely resolved by hitting the big red 'X' in the top corner of their screen.

Unfortunately won't be making it out to the show this year. Got into a pretty bad car accident a few nights ago and my fund has just gone towards a "new" used vehicle. Total bummer but I have my health and so does everyone who was involved.
