I Miss my brew buddies!

I'm guilty of not participating with the Borg since I joined. I miss the old crew from MBF! I would like to get to know some of you that already frequented the Borg. I have been pretty busy with work and my latest remodeling project at home to bother brewing. I should wrap up my remodeling within the next 4 weeks or so. I'm hoping to get back to building my eherms after that and brew up some awesome beer.

I hope to see all of you using the Tap Room soon so I can catch up with everyone!

Welcome back! I hate when life gets in the way of brewing, talking about brewing and doing brewing related stuff. I think most of us can totally relate. Just know that no matter how frequent or infrequent you visit you are always welcome! :borg:

I had and have life getting in the way of both brewing and plugging into the :borg: so I hear you.

Be assured it has happened to many of the great folks here but none are ever completely forgotten and as a :borg: bonus venting and or ranting is very well tolerated when it an extremely difficult time.

As Borgies we all have the same general interest (home brew) to bring us all together but we also happen to "click" as a group and be a very caring and supportive bunch as well.

So Welcome Back and come on in. :welcome:

:cheers:

I figured Ray was still in mourning from that beat down Jake Arrietta and the Cubs laid on our beloved Buccos in the wild card game.

I go in the Tippy Tap Room but no one is ever there! That shout box was the best because as soon as you entered the site everyone would see what's up!

I agree about the shout box. The tap room is usually empty and I haven't been in a while. I will go there more often and hope to see you there.

Late Wednesday night/early Thursday AM, Ray was usually what was up in the shout box, IIRC.

Often shouting at himself (sometimes even arguing).

I've had some MBF withdrawals myself. I miss the shout box and honestly the award winning recipe forum. I really did scroll through those periodically when building a recipe of my own.

I suspect adding something like the shout box is a less than trivial effort, but I think adding a forum might not be too difficult.

I'm not sure what the process is for suggesting forum changes, though. I know there have been a few hints in some threads that a food forum might be nice. Suggesting a forum for award winning recipes in a thread might or might not be seen.

Does anybody know the "right" way to ask for a new forum? I don't think the hints for a food forum have met with success. Do we need to ask Leigh directly via PM?

A PM is how I got the BOTM to get going. I think a shout box would be hard to do.
