Very interesting - didn't know at all what to expect with this poll.

Looks like between 3/4 and 4/5 of the members on CA were forum junkies or at least forum participants before joining CS or CA.

I wonder how many cigar lovers are out there with a great deal of cigar knowledge/insight but don't "get" the whole forum culture, and I wonder how we could reach those individuals or make our community more accessible to them.

Well, not everybody can (or wants to) get into the right internet state of mind, if you follow me. There are a lot of folks who feel that interacting with others online is a poor substitute for actual human contact.

I think what CA has going for it is WoM (Word of Mouth). If we all talk it up with our "live" smoking buddies, we can bring more people into the fold. I refer people to the reviews all the time.

As for me, I never participated in a forum before CS. I only logged on to thank you all for what you do for the troops. Ya got me hooked. Since then I joined another couple of forums for other hobbies of mine, but this one seems to be special. I'm the most comfortable here.
