Mods, Thanks For Nothing...

[LostBottle]

...and by nothing I mean what this forum now shows if you are not a StraightBourbon member.

Thanks to the mods for locking down this forum and hiding it from public view. It needed to be done. With the popularity of the premium products, I have seen too many instances where lurkers took advantage of info passed between contributing members. This move makes it a bit easier to have a conversation amongst ourselves.

So I guess I'm confused. SB threads show up on google searches all the time. But perhaps I don't understand your meaning, being a newbie and all.

[LostBottle]

I am referring to this Premium Bourbons/Specialty Bottles sub-forum. There is no access, and it does not show up anywhere, unless you log in.

[BFerguson]

Agreed. Very nice move.

Just noticed it now that it was hidden, normally don't always log in , and wondered where it was.

Loged in, and viola! there it was!

haha, nice move guys. i can think of a few other forums/threads that members here might want locked down too, OGD114 thread comes to mind...

[squire]

Bite your tongue.

[camduncan]

We aim to please.... but can't really take the credit. It was either one of the Admins or Jim, not the moderators who did the work

[smknjoe]

Does the "Help a Fellow Member Find a Bottle" thread still show up? Seems lurkers would watch that too.

[BAO]

Thanks for nothing indeed. Does this mean we can all post the websites where we can buy VVOF for $20?

I must admit that when I saw this thread title turn up in "What's New", I thought "That mother %@$@*# is done here." Then of course I actually read the thread

I hid the Collectibles forum as well. I can't see a reason why anyone should harvest a crop they didn't sow.

To be fair, registering and posting doesn't mean you are actually a contributer. After all, I'm still allowed in here.

You're our canary, Will. If you were banned, how would we feel safe about the crazy things the rest of us posts?

clicked this out of curiosity, but it explained something I was wondering about.

I was in Binny's over the weekend looking/contemplating buying the WT RR SB and wanted more info, so I went to SB.com, figuring I'd find something in this section, but I couldn't find this section; I didn't log in--sometimes cumbersome on the phone (and I have an impatient wife).

Now I know. Just logged in and I can see the Premium/Special Forum.

Wish the "remember me" function worked better on mobile devices.

Great move, imo.

Check out Tapatalk. I think it's way easier than trying to use the forum in a phone browser.

Yes, this actually works better than a browser on your PC. I hardly ever log in to my forums anymore. The Tapatalk app seems to organize way better.

That first sentence made me laugh out loud at my kids school..

I'm so confused, so 4 Roses doesn't suck anymore and we can all sing the praises again?

Ha, ha, ha, nice move, sneaky.

[Kalessin]

Yeah, but don't start talking about the 114-proofer-that-shall-not-be-named...

[SFS]

Now we're getting the hang of it.
