    The cigarsmokers site is still physically hosted on my servers. We never moved any of the code or database over to his servers. He did have access to everything for a few days, but that has been removed per his request.

    I'm on the fence about those Yahoo Ads. For the most part they weren't really targeted in most cases, and really the click through rate was horrendous. I'm going to wait till all this pans out before considering other options.

    Yes, I removed the caminoviejo banner ad a few weeks ago. I wanted to see how the direct link was affecting some search engine rankings.

    I thought they were referring to the Yahoo Text Link ad banner that was at the top till last week.

    Are you referring to my comment in the Pineapple Express thread?

    I missed that thread.

    Actually Cheech and Chong got back together and have been on tour for about 3 weeks. They played the Hampton Beach Casino, in Hampton Beach, NH on this past Thursday evening. Funny stuff, but they look old.


    Not that there is anything bad about being old Ken.

    completely lost, but happy
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

    ... after doing a bit more reading, I think you have saved CS from certain doom by terminating this agreement. There is NO WAY whatever was planned for the conglomerate of these websites would benefit the membership.

    I feel almost sorry for the other forums still caught up in this.

    I've held back on an opinion on this until I saw something to base one on. I think I've seen enough out there today. I agree. I don't know what the particulars are on the termination of the sale, but from what I've seen it's good that it turned out the way it did.

    Cigarlive
    ClubStogie
    and a couple of review sites.

    They are both censoring remarks about the sale. This Jon guy sounds like a real winner.

    I peeked into cigarlive... (I'm a member with ZERO posts), they, (jon and "stogie), are slamming Rod from cigarpass for not accepting the offer of purchase.

    Saved the community, imho. There is a shit-load of reading to do now......true characters are finally being revealed to everyone and some eyes are being opened at cigarliveville. Can't say I feel sorry for anyone at that place.

    Call me cold, but it was plain to see lopez was a greedy bastid out for profit.....was pointed out by some.....and what happened to them when they did was finally brought out into the light for all to see. You know what I speak of Mark....the p/w scrambling, etc......

    After that, if a person stayed there and participated, invested in that crap, they get whatever they get.

    The sheep on garlive sound appalled that Danny would be in it for profit. They are realizing what has been said since the inception of CL. Too bad I was banned within 9 minutes of registering and couldn't view anymore.
