So let’s see who’s a real OG. What was this forum before it was CCom? And bonus points, anyone who was actually a member back then?

    I came over from the old forum, you did too right Kuz? Didn’t we have to reregister or reactivate or something? Bc I show May 2008 as my join.

    I've been on 3 different iterations of the ccom forum.
    I'm an old fart. Here when the forum was in HTML, and the forum when it wasn't hosted by ccom themselves.

    Yea. He changed his cell, doesn’t have LinkedIn. I seriously wonder if he’s alive. Last I heard he was doing a little consulting but nothing in at least 3 years.

    The html forum was fun.
    AND you could edit your post 3 months later. LOL!

    I don’t remember all the details but I followed @Kuzi over here from a forum that also had to do with guns and firearms and such as well as cigars. I don’t remember the forum name but you probably will, Kuzi.

    ive been around for a while as well, maybe not as long as you guys have, but do remember at least 2 formats of this forum. I still have some of the OG forum blend!

    As regard to Svenson, he is well and working with scandanavian tob. We talk periodically and play catch up. Hope you guys are well!

    I'll be missing out as we've started a fire pit Friday tradition as a family to give us something to look forward to in these trying times.

    Trident I definitely remember you man. Glad to see some of the old guys are still around. I didn’t mean to turn this into a **** measuring contest. I was gonna throw a bomb to anyone who remembered the original forum.

    Man glad to hear Svenson is well. What’s he doing with Scandinavian? Always a good dude.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    The original cigar.com forum was hosted by AmBack it was a forum that I dont think even exists. Stood for "American backyard" and was an outdoorsman forum. Ccom partnered with them for a forum section but eventually made it on their own with the html version.

    The reviews were pretty difficult near the end. So much time and effort put into each review, it just started to feel like work. Just burned myself out.
    Lots of good learning though.

    Such a great wealth of knowledge from you "Ancient Ones" I know I appreciate it.

  • madurofan
    madurofan Posts: 6,218 ✭✭✭

    @ForMud Haha. Thanks man. The level of knowledge on this forum has grown every time I’ve popped in. I remember a time when Kuzi was the only person I knew who’d been to a cigar factory. I’m sure a bunch of you have by now!

    @kuzi16 well my intention was to send a little something to the first person to recall AMBACK, so is your address the same?

    I don’t think I ever posted there, maybe once or twice. But I started there then moved here. I don’t even recall how the transition even worked.
