Thanks
And/or dudettes
Yep!I'm quite embarrassed to say I only have a slight idea to what HERF means. Does it mean a group (small-large) just getting together for a cigar??
There is a section here dedicated to upcoming Herfs...
If they wish...
I don't know how many times I've answered this... I'm surprised no one took a stab at the answer.
Place names are important to Geographers. Shortening place names to create nicknames, like Cali, Philly, Chi-town, San Fran, 'Frisco, "the Dam", etc..., is like calling "Robert" "Bob." Some Bobs, don't mind while others do and, thanks to their agency, they have the ability to tell you so. No place can tell you if it likes you "shortening" it's name, so to continue to use the informal name is disrespectful to the place. The place was given a name for a reason and so it should only be called by that name, or an abbreviation.
At the same time, I don't mind certain nicknames being ascribed to places based on happenings, or cultural observances associated with that specific place. These nicknames would include things like Tinseltown, Beantown, the Big Apple, the Windy City, etc...
So, you do not like California to be Called Cali?

I think this was named after a member I haven't seen in a long time. I am trying hard to remember I think it was @MUMike but not sure. I am pretty sure he was known to throw out great cigars if they didn't hit his profile right. Anyone else remember?

I would guess the answer to your question is some will, some wont. I dont think people are drawn to a certain site just for the site itself. Some have made many friends there & have built relationships that they do not wish to give up, just because of a server being shut off.
If one can make friends there, one can make friends here also, so there is no reason to abandon BOTL. After all, we are here for the same reason eh?

I was there when this term was coined, what a great day that was...
Here are a few links that will help out with that

There also was coined the term "JFire'd" that day which goes directly in hand with a MU'd cigar

No!
Although there were/are relationships that were forged over there and will be resumed on the new site, we (at least I do!) appreciate the bonds that were made here as well. The Brotherly love for the leaf and relationships are what it's about.
As you'll know, there are some REALLY good people here! Hope to continue to learn and share the love of the leaf and all life things.
Thanks to everyone for the answers. I saw this term used several times, and although the meaning was clear, I couldn't figure it out. I thought, "Well it's obviously a common enough phrase that they just abbreviate it and no one questions it. I must be a moron." (Still might be.) I tried searching it and obviously a lot of posts by MU Mike came up. I didn't know if he took his name from it, or it was from his name. Thanks for the history lesson.
