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 the next few weekends 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.

IS IN THE HOUSE!
I agree 100%, but it's also a world wide cigar forum with "good people" in it! Everyone here deserves KUDOS in making this one of the best forums on the net!
I raise my Glass.....and my Stogie to each one of you Brothers!:smokingbo

You know Jay, the atmosphere around here (people being cordial and civil, as opposed to people tearing each other up) is the whole reason I post on BOTL exclusively.
Seems every other forum I've looked at, people are at each other's throats! Guess that's easy when you're sitting by yourself behind a computer screen...because when you meet people in-person at a herf, they don't act like the same "Internet Jackass" that they portray on the forums.
This place has ALWAYS felt natural and authentic to me, like people really act in-person.
Although I admit, I do occasionally have bad days and act like an "Internet Jackass" myself.

Well said Jay and I agree totally. This is truly about brotherhood and Sharing the Share!

I think you are right on!
Thanks for the kind words!
I think the word has gotten out to the dipshits that they will not be tolerated here and have basically stopped trying to infiltrate. We occasionally get one that tries to slip through but they get taken care of pretty quickly.
I get a kick outta reading other forums that cut us down for being so "soft" and actually take it as a compliment.
The difference here is we don't put up with foul play but don't call out a lynch mod (unlike other forums) until the foul play has been proven.

Well, everyone except Frank.Guess that's easy when you're sitting by yourself behind a computer screen...because when you meet people in-person at a herf, they don't act like the same "Internet Jackass" that they portray on the forums.
Im a newb around here and have read/studied or been to a couple cigar forums and agree with the comments of this thread wholeheartedly. Its nice to see people exchange ideas and information without the bashing or flaming that can and does take place at other unnamed cigar forums. The Ladies & Gentlemen of this forum should be proud of the environment they have fostered here.
So Cheers! And puff puff to the Brothers, Sisters and Mod.s of this site!

I agree this a great group of people. Thanks to the Mods, David, and Eric for setting it up and maintaining.
Long Live BOTL!

Well I got lucky and signed up here first, after looking for humidor seasoning information. I just really never felt the need to look anywhere else. Even when I made dumb newbie mistakes or stuck my foot in my mouth, the brothers here were tolerant and understanding. Here's to everyone here. Cheers.

I have to say Jay that I am a little bit turned off from that "other" board right now, speicifically, with the beef that has most recently arisen. I aplaud you for squashining it. And so as of recently I have been finding myself being pulled in the direction of BOTL rather than that "other" board. Not that I don't love that other place, but the vibe here is noticably different, and in a good way. This is the most mellow board I have ever experienced. What the hell you guys smokin' around here?:blushlove
Keep it up gents...

Can't you just FEEL the love?!?! LOL! This IS a great board and the only one I post on. I agree that the Mods are to be given a lot of credit for this board. I'd like to think that the brothers here make the Mods job relatively easy too. Most of the brothers here are just having a good time and sharing the hobby. Great bunch!
