Some changes to our Pipe Forums layout...

[Tobias Lutz]

Now that we're getting settled in, we went about a little housekeeping to make the Pipe Forums better suited to our needs. We've...

• Consolidated the Pipes Review forum and the Pipe Tobacco Review forum to make it a one-stop-shop
• Added a DIY section for everyone who grows, tops, presses, builds, carves, or creates their own tobacco or accouterments.
• Added a Newb Q&A subforum to the Introduction forum as a central location for all "new to the sport" questions (thanks to @Mister Moo for this suggestion)
• And expanded the Pipe bomb section to include contests and passes.

I have moved some threads around to situate them in more appropriate locations, but I left redirects that won't expire for three days. That should give everyone time to explore and reorient.

Enjoy!

You guys really hit the ground running setting this up for all of us. Kudos!

[BryGuySC]

Awesome. You guys are doing a great job!

Thank you for all the thought and effort you are putting into this.

[Horseshoe]

Very nice. It is coming along nicely. Thanks for all the hard work CB staff.

This is quickly shaping up to be a great forum. Hell, it already is and it's steady getting better. You guys are awesome and are very much appreciated.

Most of us are like me who just come on and enjoy the place without thinking about the work and time it takes to make it happen. I can't believe how much has happened in such a short time. I'm glad I came on just a few days after it started. In a few years I can say, "Back when we first started and there was only a hundred or so of us.........." lol

[Bruck]

Thanks for your hard work.

[PMR]

Tobias, I want to add my thanks also for all of your efforts in creating a new home for us. The only thing that I am missing is those beautiful "animated emotions" which you know that I absolutely love to use. Moe.

I would like to see myself auto-subscribed to any thread I post to. Right now, I have only one subscription, that I had to pull down the menu, select subscribe, then say that I did indeed want to subscribe. PITA.

Then there's the matter of unstoppable emails. I don't want to get an email every time somebody likes or thanks me for a post. This is really annoying and I can find no way to stop it from my settings.

I also want the ancient pedant emoticon! They wouldn't give it to me at puff.

Doing great though, Tobias! (I'd give you RG if I had any. )
