For those that never saw it coming, I have only one (...paraphrased...) thing to say: Fool of a nOOb!

But back on point, yeah, nOObs come, nOObs go. Never know who's gonna stick around. Even guys that seem so into it suddenly disappear. I'm guessing they either quit or cutback on their smoking or join other sites. Also sure that life "gets in the way" for a lot of guys.

What I'm wondering is why do FOGs or semi-FOGs fade away? They get bored of this site too?

It's because we get asked if we would go camping but no offers are ever made.

Gotta say as a noob it's damn near impossible to understand the "lingo" in these rooms.. That's probably part of the reason guys leave.... And I'd say the other half is they probably do get butt hurt from guys being assh@$"#s... Hard to learn the ways when those two things are working against you and you're not used to it like some of us are...

I know this was posed as an observation and not a question, but...... Most of my online forum time is spent on another board which involves a collecting interest of mine. As the central premise of this interest involves weapons many/most of us hold strong opinions and not just about collectibles. The founders of this other board, in their infinite wisdom, saw potential conflicts and averted them by one hard, fast rule that doesn't seem to be that difficult for members to follow - Absolutely no political discourse in any forum on the board. You call it asshurt. Others call it rudeness that isn't held to account. Just a thought.

I've been here quite a while. I know that my handle says 2011, but in reality bluwater1959 is my second handle here, my first was just bluwater. Something happened with the email and cbid and it was just easier to create a new one than try and stick with the old one..... Since 2008, I have met a whole lot of people from this board, and every single one I've met has been kind and gracious, not an asshat in the bunch.....
I don't post much, but I do read a bunch, and I never, never, never go to the "politics" threads. I'm from south Louisiana and am old enough to have strong opinions about most things and no matter how hard I try there are stupid people that won't believe I'm right, so I have stopped trying to convert them..... This forum is a lot nicer staying out of there....

just sayin, Blu

Pretty sure I scared away a few would be noobs... my bad...

I'm doing better though, I'm a much kinder... gentler troll now.

I've managed to move up to 592 in line to go camping with z due to noob attrition... I was 2954 when I started.

this site was blocked for a while at my work, so I had not posted for a good 9-10 months. Now it's unblocked. I tend to just read more than post though. I kinda just lurk in the shadows of the forum.

yeah those 3 to 4 days must have been tough, reminds me of my quick 3-4 weeks until i discovered the noob PIB and realized that i was just too lazy to read what was in front of me the whole time.

yeah those Hemingway's are the usually the only sticks im willing to buy in shop in chicago, always end up happy about getting butt hurt....

a noob beer/cigar pass would be cool thou if you vets would wanna start one.... just saying....

Ever wonder why new guys leave these forums? Probably because of di&@ head comments like yours... In fact I have read the post and lined up 3 trades.... Unfortunately none of which have returned the favor... If that's what these forums are all about we can find somewhere else to go.... The entire point of trades are to try new smokes, and share some of what you keep in your box.... But dealing with a@& holes is not something I wanna do.......

congrats, your inability to take sarcasm is why people like you probably leave. im sure being inconvenienced for 3-4 days when you as a new person want to trade probably makes you feel less accepted. being a member for a whopping 8 days, some are probably wearing of such a green noob, while others probably have not had time to get to the post office.

i also agree that the "lingo" can be hard to pick up, but the nice vets have tried to help you. http://www.cigarbid.com/...d-Abbreviations-Updated
while the list doesnt cover everything, feel free to ask someone, that what i did and have yet to be left hanging.

if my comment seems like a "di&@ head" thing to say, then im sorry you cant take a joke, or be patient. grow a thicker skin. if everyone left after a dickhead comment, few would be here. if a sarcastic comment gets you all hot and bothered, then i feel like your surrounded by "a@& holes"

the point of these forums is the exchange of ideas, not just ideas that you like or enjoy. if you got a trade lined up that quick then kuddos to you. it took me much longer, and i was always willing to send first and didnt mind to wait. life happens and not everyone works in a post office.

ive had nothing but nice experiences with everyone on here, and have never been left hanging on a trade,pib or pocket lint trade. instead of finding issues or creating excuses, try to remember what the constant is and whats the variable...... maybe its not a forum problem, but a noob problem.....

now if youd like a trade, im game for that

Folks on this forum are really pretty darn welcoming. Some are just not interested. A good friend of mine says "why do I want to meet the new guy down the street, I've got enough friends". On the other hand the best way to get ignored or berated here is to be a jerk.

Co nam obca przemoc wzięła, Szablą odbierzemy.

I have to agree with tamapatom. I've been active since January and I've seen a wealth of friendship and generosity from everyone on here. The way folks were are connected to each other is amazing. When I saw the reverence everyone showed when Wheel passed away it was amazing. Then also many others on the board which have been diagnosed with sicknesses, it's great that such a group has formed here and so many folks share a bond.

BGZ lol I can tell you the over/under if you want brother.... I'd stay around just to aggravate haha

Ypetryna I did line up some trades and yes being the new guy I did send first so no one had to feel like they were putting themselves out there. What I'm saying is instead of being an a@s, or a prick try answering some questions without the sarcasm or interjecting your unwanted comments or better yet assuming that we haven't read the noob posts or the links to the abbreviations because they all aren't there.m in fact most of the ones you guys use aren't there.. And when a question is asked just answer it... Or don't....I'm on here to enjoy some friendships, trade some smokes and learn a little... Just because someone is new to this thread doesn't mean that we are noobs at smoking. I've probably been smoking just as long or longer than many on here... Point is don't be an ass for no reason... This post was made about the new guys coming and going and the "I wonder whys" of why did they leave...I'm just telling you it's about 50/50 the people I've met here so far.. Half seem like awesome folks and inviting m, the other half are sarcastic assclowns!! So maybe thats why they leave....idk now that I'm done complaining if you still wanna trade pm me and let me know I'm down for anything... Well almost anything!!

Sarcasm is kind of the main language here. You can't take offense, generally not ill intentioned. The people here, even the sarcastic ones, are a very generous bunch. It is an amazing community with a great deal of camaraderie.

just read the whole thread brutha Mike...the noods are figuring it out, that we are trying to scare off the weak and the lame and those without coats.

Thinning the herd is a natural way to control growth. OK, so it didn't work with me, a MAhole Libtard Hebrew, but that's cuz I'm like a idiot.

I was told there were some polish people hanging out here, but I was beginning to have my doubts.
