I think it's more a testament to the team of 11 and the amount of us that they have touched and the respect that they have built throughout the years!

I've been touched?!?!?! Should I make a report?

Seriously though, this is what I see as the motivation for a group of random people to act in concert.

I have to say this has re-vitialized me. The last year I hardly participated in the boards, aside from a few threads/themes. I did not even bother to go into most of the cigar rooms. So thank you.

I think it's true that people want to go where the good guys go.

I agree that it is a testament to the team of 11. A lot of forums I've been on, the mods were the worst part. To see everyone leave and go with the mods shows that the general populace felt the spirit they loved at CS was cultivated by these select few and would be likely to continue wherever they went.

feels good to be in on the ground floor, everyone here will help to shape this community for a long while. here's to the future of CA, and to the 11 who made it possible for us to be a part of it

I agree. These folks have imparted quite a bit of cigar knowledge and general good will. Hats off!

It seems like over here no one has missed a beat and things just smoothly carry on. It's just like somebody told you to move your card game to another table.
There will probably be more than 1000 members started in Oct. 2008! Lets see how long it takes to get to 10,000.

To the Team of 11 and all of you, all I can say is thank you!

And to the fellow reading this in 2018 on his big toe - look behind you!

Alot of interesting things happened on October 8th

October 8

October 8, 1871 - The Great Fire of Chicago broke out. According to legend, it started when Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over a lantern in her barn on DeKoven Street. Over 300 persons were killed and 90,000 were left homeless as the fire leveled 3.5 square miles, destroying 17,450 buildings. Financial losses totaled over $200 million.

October 8, 1918 - During World War I, in the Argonne Forest in France, U.S. Sergeant Alvin C. York single-handedly took out a German machine-gun battalion, killing over a dozen and capturing 132. He was later awarded the U.S. Medal of Honor and the French Croix de Guerre.

October 8, 1993 - The U.N. General Assembly lifted economic sanctions against South Africa following the end of racial apartheid. The sanctions had been imposed since the 1960s.

October 8, 1996 - Palestinian President Yasser Arafat made his first public visit to Israel for talks with Israeli President Ezer Weizman at his private residence.

October 8, 1998 - The U.S. House of Representatives voted 258-176 to approve a resolution launching an impeachment inquiry of President Bill Clinton. It was only the third time in U.S. history the House launched a formal impeachment inquiry of a sitting president. (The other two - Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon).

October 8, 2008 - The "gang of 11" started a new forum dedicated to fun and truth in cigars. Upholding the principals of stoogie freedom, with regard to race, creed, or geographical location. Their motto being, be true to your brother(or sister) and for God's sake keep it clean.

Birthday - American war ace Eddie Rickenbacker (1890-1973) was born in Columbus, Ohio. He commanded the first U.S. aero unit to take part in World War I and was credited with 26 victories, becoming America's leading ace. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He later got involved in auto racing and headed Eastern Air Lines from 1934-63.
