....this in the lounge so the general public can't view it.


I notice there have been several spammers join the forum recently. Maybe they are keen to the fact that this a non-moderated, non-administered forum. They seem to be innocent enough, but how long until the porn spammers get here? And when they do get here, I assume they won't get booted off. Just an observation and a potential concern.

So when will the porn spammer get here? I will definitely be visiting more often!
Definitely could not make this forum less active!
 
It is a shame that we cannot attract more people into this forum, we are suffering from the same fate that happened on the old forum. Its a shame really, but maybe its a sign of the times - to many forums, not enough interest.

I would like to make a recommendation to whom ever it concern that most of the forum topics be consolidated into two or with topics. This is a common strategy when starting or restarting a forum.

Maybe something like

Cigars
Accessories
Other

This creates more activity in 3 topics and the topics will get visited more often. As the forum and participation picks up you can always slow expand topics. Such as adding a subforum Cuban cigars.

just an idea
 

MJ, I'll give you an E for effort. She looks very nice from the waist up, however from the waist down it appears as if she has suffered some serious hail damage.

CoastalTravelBiz, though I think your recommendation is great, don't hold your breath on getting a response from the powers that be. They just simply forgot about this forum or are really not concerned. Afterall it is their forum and not mine. All of this is assuming of coarse that they did not have a death in the family or are suffering from a terminal illness. If this is the case, then I have made several posts regarding the lack of governorship and got egg on my face on each of those posts.

I can tell you that no one hated seeing this forum die the first time more than me. I tried everything to get participation from the old members. I PM'd 20 or 30 people asking them to come back. This forum was the place where I learned about cigars, but more importantly made some very good friendships.
