Unibroue makes delicious stuff. My favorite is either Maudite or Terrible

LasciviousXXX · 05-25-2011, 09:37 AM

I'm a huge fan of La Fin Du Monde. One of my favorite beers actually.

But I will be honest with you, I'm highly unlikely to to go to another website to read the review itself. Any way you can post it here at CA?

Thanks

First of all, welcome to the site! Why don't you post an introduction post in the New Inmates forum?

Also, generally when someone posts a review here, he doesn't make us go to his site to see it. It would be better if you put a synopsis review or the entire review in your post and then posted a link to the site so if we wanted to we could see your other reviews.

I enjoy La Fin Du Monde, but Maudite is probably my favorite Unibroue beer.

While we appreciate your comments and suggestions, the idea is for you to visit our site and explore all of the content we have to offer regarding craft beer, cigars and even booze.

In the future, we will begin to give at least a taste of the article when posting.

Cheers!

While we appreciate your attempt to redirect traffic to your site at our expense, the idea is for you to become an active member of OUR community and contribute your knowledge, insight and passion that we share.

You are welcome to put a link to your blog in your sig line.

LasciviousXXX · 05-25-2011, 10:45 AM

I must concur with Pnoon above. While we understand that everyone is trying to gain some site traffic we don't necessarily appreciate being a billboard for another site. If your sole intent here at our community is just to direct people to your site then feel free to put the link to your blog in your sig line and not create a while new thread with zero information.

Edit - as an aside, the Team of 11 is discussing options to making a change in the rules as we have seen a sharp increase in people signing up on our forum simply to direct traffic to their site with no intention of being a part of our community. No offense against you thesmokeypint, its just becoming more and more prevalent.

I concur with the site admins and as an old fart in the prevelance of internet boards, since 1993 to be exact, it has or was considered a rude, distateful, and disrespectful to post in this manner. In fact back in the late 90's when I ran a board I would have banned you, removed your links and closed the thread. Alas what was once so prevelant it needed to be controlled in that matter is back once again. I guess everything old is new again.

It speaks volumes that this sites admins are so cordial and welcoming. As I am not making a snap judgement upon you or your company just commenting on what has been the case in the past am I also with them in hoping you join our community and contribute to our content.

Welcome aboard.

PS. I love all the Unibroe beers. I've contemplated moving in next door to the brewery many times.

SteveH · 05-25-2011, 12:45 PM

$10 we don't see another post.

I notice a lot of this in the reviews sections.

Obviously you have no links to Cigar Asylum on your site, so you're not doing Cigar Asylum any favors.
