This may be asking too much, and you may want this place to have a little individuality, but we need to redefine the boards. This 'other' site is very successful, and I really like how they have their boards set up. There is a 'Fine Cigar Room' (cigars only), 'Accessories Room' (might work well here since you sell merchandise), 'Trading Room' and 'CLUBHOUSE ROOM' (where anyone can talk about anything they wish). It's something to think about ... and it makes perfect sence. You could combine the Political Board and the Sports Board into the 'Clubhouse'. What do you think, folks? Gonz???

I would think that if they pushed the forums icon in part of the banner, it would notify a lot of the new users (such as myself) to check these out and make the trades and sports more active. The cigar forum seems to be regularly posted with the regulars. Which is good cause some have good suggestions and info for us "newbies". I just think a little more front line acknowledgement that these are here would improve things.

i agree. who is gonz?

also, who is hubcap?

Where have you been, rickamaven? You can't tell me that you don't know that Gonz is the webmaster here, works for CI and CB, and runs this web site? Also, I can't believe you don't know who 'Hubcap the Clown' is ... check the picture archives. He's the 'unofficial' mascot here, and he's been sited just about everywhere someone else has been (who's sent in pictures here) ... LOL!

i assumed that but, being the conservative i am, i wanted to be certain.

I'll say it again, before Gonz or whoever does the nickel and dime rearranging you are asking for, I wish they would implement our personal cigar ratings system as promised

It would seem like a good thing to have a ratings board.

A ratings board??? It was a great idea a year ago and is still a good idea!

i give that suggestion a 99.99

Rick a conservative? I guess that would make me Musolini.
