Forums is usually lively. What impresses me most is the way expertise emerges on specific subjects from time to time. There are some real craftsmen, pipe historians, tobacconists, tobacco growers, and other areas of expertise that are impressive.

I've gotten some good input on non-pipe-related subjects as well.

The sociability and conversation is often energetic.

Every forum has its own personality and drumbeat. One of the things I look for before joining a forum is to gauge how active it is, I move on when the most recent post is several days old.

One thing this forum has in common with most is that usually by the 10th post, the topic has gone sideways -- or like this one it doesn't take that long. :LOL:
