End of an era

Actually I think we may have an answer.

What if we all took 'Glazgee' lessons from Kdot? .... no one would know what we were talkin' about then!

Yep it's a great shame, but unfortunately, we don't live in the democracy we believe we live in, and that freedom of speech isn't quite as clear cut as it should be.

All I'm saying is that we need to keep quiet on here about the plethora of sources out there, that we can all find through google. It ain't that much to ask.

The wheel turns.

Yep. An' every un-shameable, devious, twister and faker will now think it's Christmas.

And that

Hits the F in nail on the head !
My man Rocket you said what I couldn't
Well its been a great run and I've
met some wonderful brothers .
But lets keep our heads intact and
bring a new and more exciting aspect
to this forum. If we throw in the towel
the Big Boys win and I say FTBB!
Peace

Let me start with the disclaimer that I fully understand the reasons for placing restrictions on what we can and can't post on this forum. The simple sad truth is that in today's world, if you don't CYA, someone will surely kick it.

Having said that, I will miss the wild and woolly early days of this forum. I was fortunate in having come across UKCF early on and will miss discussions regarding how to avoid the heavy hand of a certain government agency which we will not name, the purchase of tobacco products from countries which we will not identify, the offering for sale of certain humidor accessories which will not be detailed, and the free and easy bohemian exchange of any information which we deemed might be interesting or useful.

But we live in the age of electronic communication wherein no information can be considered private or secure. An age where the Eye in the Sky can not only pinpoint your location (unless you're Osama bin Laden), but can tell you how many turds you shat. An age in which no one is responsible for their actions and will instead travel down the road to riches by suing the one with the deepest pockets.

As a result, we're all, in some form or other, constantly checking over our shoulders.

So, UKCF, migrates into its second phase. Gone will be the wide open, fuck 'em if they can't take a joke, anything goes era of our youth. Now we will be more mature, doing things the more mature adult way, leaving behind some of the wilder aspects of our youth. Not necessarily a bad thing.

The wheel turns.
