Thanks in advance for our 1st year

[poker]

With the October 14th date approaching us marking our 1st anniversary, I would like to extend a warm and sincere "THANK YOU" to every one of the members here at Cigar Asylum. I am proud to be a part of something that goes beyond being just another cigar forum in virtual space. Every one of the members here contributes something in making the Asylum unique in what it is today, and what it will become in the future.

It's been great & exciting first year for the Asylum. Many here have shared not only cigars, but also shared laughs, newborns, sadness, tears and many other things that go way beyond just being a cigar board.
I sincerely hope you all enjoyed the ride here as much as I have. My hopes are that you will continue to enjoy what we call home for many more years to come.

Thank you for all the memories

[Scottw]

good luck with the EM-50 project

[Tazziedevil]

I like to say thanks for the asylum as well...

I live in a tiny place called Tasmania. I don't have a B&M here, and people who smoke cigars are few and far between. So the asylum gives me a place and talk about cigars and coffee with like minded people. So thanks to everyone for letting me have my say from time to time :)

[Giant & 49er Fan]

... and Thank You!

:wo

[Footbag]

Doesn't feel like a year. Time flies when you're having fun! Thanks for giving us a place to... well... do what we do.

[Old Sailor]

:salute::salute::salute: to the TOE!!!

[TripleF]

A BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG thank you to the founding God-Fathers :tu

[Smokin Gator]

I'd like to echo Kelly's sentiments.

The TOE may have built the house but it is the membership that makes it a home.

Thank you all.

[CasaDooley]

God knows, this is my second home.:l
HUZZAH to the ToE!
HUZZAH to my fellow BOTL's & SOTL's!

[Volt]

I'm no word smith like some we have in this little place we hang out but this says it best - :l

[captain53]

I wish I had been participating for the full year but just joined up a couple of months ago. While I have viewed many forums on various topics of interest this is only the second one I actually signed up and participated in. It is a great bunch of friendly folks with lots of knowledge to share not only on smokes but everything from recipes to computers. I am honored to participate and appreciate the hard work done by the TOE to create it and keep the wheels rolling smooth. Great Job!:tu

Glad to be here, thank you to the Team of Eleven and all of the members big and small!

So it is decided...the MOD used TOE so it's TOE :r

Thanks for making this place our home...I can't wait to meet more BOTLs and SOTLs in the upcoming years.:tu

[cort]

No, no, Thank you!!

You TEN are great...and Peter is okay.:D

Thanks again for everything the TOE does.:banger

[longknocker]

Thanks To The TOE For Making Cigar Asylum The Awesome Place That It Is! 2nd Home? It's My First!:D:tu

[pnoon]

No, no, Thank you!!

You TEN are great...and Peter is okay.:D

[Resipsa]

Thanks to the TOE and all the members that make this a great place to be.

[dinder1]

I was a little late getting to the party... but thanks go out to Kelly and the rest of the eleven for running such a top notch site.

[poriggity]

Thanks TOE!
Scott

[Skywalker]

Thank you!!!

Without the vision and tenacity of the Eleven (TOE) to start this place we wouldn't have this home!!!

[bruceolee]

After years at CS and now after everything that's happened to me it has been awesome to find CA and reconnect with all my old BOTL friends again. THANK YOU ALL!!! :cool:

[SmokeyJoe]

Do you guys remember what it was like a year ago?

I was nearly despondent...
All the changes at our former home were frustrating at best... and infuriating at worst. I truly felt like something I had come to appreciate deeply had been irrevocably destroyed - and I was saddened by that. Accusations flew, friendships were strained... betrayals, and accusations of betrayals were rampant. My cherished little community was crumbling...

Then, all the mods left "en masse!" I wasn't sure what to think, but very soon I heard that 11 men that I trusted had decided the time had come to start a new forum. A difficut decision, I'm sure. Tons of work and criticism everywhere. But you 11 believed something of that incredible community could be salvaged.

You were right.

I probably sound foolish or melodramatic with my characterization of the Fall of 2008, but that is how I felt. I could say "thank you" for what you 11 men did, but truthfully? "Thank you" just doesn't begin to convey my gratitude.

I hope you all can derive some gratification and satisfaction from the number of folks who have made CA their on-line home. Not just CS expatriates, but the new folks who come here everyday and find the very best parts of what the jungle meant to us all.

Forgive the verbosity... I could have gone on for several more pages. :D

Please just know that you have made a huge positive impact in the life of a graying, chubby, novice cigar smoker in North Carolina - who thinks of you as family. Blessings on each of you.

[Fishbeadtwo]

A huge thanks to the TOE for the place they built and maintain! "And on the 14th day the TOE created The Asylum, and it was a good and just place" Apologies to whoever for the paraphrasing, just saying..........:tu

[DPD6030]

Thank you TOE :tu for a safe haven to come and rest my head.

[bvilchez]

TO THE TOE :chr......I can recall being in Iraq and disappointed that what I had just come to know and love had been destroyed.

Then the TOE lifted my spirits....they bought a house and made it a home.


Thank you TOE

[perogee]

Doesn't feel like a year. Time flies when you're having fun! Thanks for giving us a place to... well... do what we do.

:tpd:

Not melodramatic at all. CS was such a a place that each of it's members felt like we owned it. When it sold, there were a lot of feelings on every side of the fence.

Then this place opened up, and we didn;t miss a beat.

And now, with one of our newest "old" members officially here, I think we are whole again.

Thanks to the TOE for Building the building, and thanks to every member for building the foundation.

[colimo]

Thanks to the TOE and to all the rest of the inmates who made me start spending way too many hours a day here...:ss

[mariogolbee]

Thanks to the TOE for creating a house and to all the inmates who make it home!!!:tu I don't think that could have been said any better. Thank you so much TOE and Inmates as well.
