Are you on any Forums?

Written by Walt in Ramblings

Over the past couple of years I have grown very fond of forums. The sense of community is fantastic and niche specific sites are an incredible wealth of knowledge. One of the earlier forums I was a member of is no more. It was called BFStats and was a gaming forum geared towards Battlefield 1942.

As time passed and I grew away from gaming, I found myself on cigar forums. I’ve seen two fantastic forums turned into a shell of their former selves by greed, while others have blossomed and are a joy to visit in my spare time. In addition to cigar forums, I’m a member of a couple of others. I only wish I could find the extra time to keep up with all of them.

What forums do you spend time on?

Walt

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.

  1. As a product of bbs (bulletin board systems) sites in the 80s I stood clear of forums because I thought they were for flame wars and pompous people such as chiefhava.

    I went to a nub event in the 2008 and when sam of nub fame asked me what I thought about his nub cigar I broke it down much like the current format of my website.

    He convinced me to start a site and he along with dozer and doogie convinced me cigarlive was a cool place to be. Which it was til daniel sold it to caputo.

    Since then I joined cigar outcast which I have stopped going to on a regular basis as it has become a clique for the people in the south.

    I have begun to enjoy the stogie review fan forums recently.

    But I am also considering starting a forum of my own if I could find the time…

    Forums are an outstanding place for knowledge.

  2. for me it’s all about the Stogie Review forums. I probably spend too much time there but whatever it’s a blast. I wish there were more people from my area o the country on the boards and who knows the way the SR is growing it may happen soon.
