Picking up steam?

[Senor Perfecto]

Is it just me, or does the BOTL membership roll seem to be expanding at an increasing rate?

I admin other VB forums, so without access to the admin controls, it's hard to say, but anecdotally there seem to be a lot more intros now than there were just a couple of months ago when I joined up...

Admins/mods, wdyt?

Such a great place with a great bunch of guys. I joined here in October and I've had so much enjoyment so far.

Probably the post holiday rush. Guys got cigar stuff for the holidays, pumps up the excitement a bit, and they search online. Also, in the colder weather (for a lot of us) we can sit inside where it's warm and spend time online than stand outside and actually smoke.

Regardless, welcome to all the new brothers and sisters!

I to have noticed a huge bump in intros but all it comes down to is this place rocks and people are catching wing of that! Haha honestly tho it's probably cause it's to damn cold outside

Exactly what happened to me. Got a box and a few choice singles, and a beautiful humi to fill, and now I have to find ways to smoke them! I usually smoke at my local B&M so those in the humi tend to sit for a bit

Just trying to put my .02 all in good fun usually.

I've noticed it too in the past couple of months. I joined in september and have loved being a part of this great group of brothers. Its not everyday you get to meet people like this and I think it attracts the outside world. Honeslty I was taken back by the generosity and kindness of these fellas. Thankful to be here!

If it makes you feel any better, I used to live in Keene.

This is better.

Yup the amount of intros and the "I'm gonna bomb you" threads are the two biggest ways to judge the increase in noobs

 

[Tag9485]

Nothing wrong with an increase in bombs haha

People have been joining Botl by the hundreds for years. People come and go as fast as they join. That's not being a pessimist. Just the truth, to be honest.

Yep. Even since I've been here, it's hundreds of exactly that.

 

[sean]

Yeah, loads show up and peace out, just as fast.

Its like people joining a gym in January, and then falling off the exercise wagon... We'll see who the "committed" are in summer.

In the meantime, welcome to the brotherhood!

 

[Joeytivo]

Welcome!

I was going to ask if this happens every year and when does it die down?

 

[SDShark]

Welcome and bring on the newbs!

are you asking if there is a season of lessened enrollment, or of drop off of the newly enrolled?
