Quiet in here?

So I was just ripped out of hibernation by Mr. Shizz and noticed a lack of recent posts to comment on and newbies introducing themselves.  What gives? Lack of smokers or shy folk?

    Glad you decided to return and put some posts out there. Welcome back.
    I happen to be one of those newbies recently to have introduced myself.

    Maybe we should ask them to un-sticky the welcoming thread so it shows up in the recent discussions? I never look in there because it doesn't show up! Sorry if I'm thread jacking here. Hi @pross !

    Tis the season until it really "tis the season".   Things always perk up at Christmas.
    Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

    I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot.  I will smoke anything, though.

    I am a newbie here, love this place.  Only thing is folks here stop counting at five, but continue to cram stuff inside a box.

    This exactly. I don't take time to check every category. I just hit the recent discussions tab and the sticky threads don't show up there even if there's been a recent post to them.

    Sometimes 2 or 3 get stuck together and then that just counts as 1

    I think there are more lurkers and not as many posters. Also there's not as many pot stirrers...

    Tis the season to be busy as hell at work.  Hopped in here for the first time this week just for a sanity break. 


    Welcome back Pross!  Jim certainly knows how to stir it up! 

    Rain, good to see you too brother!

    Life is too short to smoke bad cigars!!!

    Agreed! Can we get an unsticky on just the noob welcoming thread?

    too bad there isn't a way to both:
    keep it "stickied" at the top but also have it appear in the "recent discussions" tab when new comments are posted......


    since that would:
    make it always visible for new folks......
    prevent us from having manually bump it (like with the old forum software) ........
    and show up for the folks who prefer using the "recent discussions" tab.

    There might be,  but that may sticky it to both Recent discussions and whatever category its originally in.

    I think we should make this a closed forum whereas only those that are as sexy as @Bigshizza are allowed in.

    With my oldest son a freshman at Ball State University and youngest son playing high school hockey I find enjoyment in what I can afford. Thanks for your observation.

    The definition of Viaje is; trip or journey.  It fits because those cigars need to go on a loooooooong a$$ vacation because they suck balls.
