If anyone happens to pick up this month's Taps magazine, there's an article by forum member Rob Symes about "The Future of the Forum" and has some quotes from yours truly.
Check it out if you can, and thanks as always for everyone here being a part of the community at Bar Towel.

Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

Talking 'bout Forums
I'm mostly kidding, I actually enjoy reading it but the best articles are the features and profiles that are not stale by the publishing date. (Which incidentally is why most forums are more timely than magazines.)-

A fantastic article - thanks for posting the link Cass!
I've been on the BT forum for over five years now, and I only just realized how much I take it for granted. For sure, certain topics are rehashed and horses are beaten to death, but when filters are applied it's still a massively valuable resource.
The role for print media in all this - longer and more insightful stuff than the crap I just posted.

Good thing there's an article I can't easily get to to speak with authority about open-access beer forums, LOL.
But appreciate anyway. You do a lot for us Cass & Greg, huzzahs all round.
