  1. Default Deals Deals Deals

    Cigar Lovers, take notice....

    Since RTDA 2005, I've been working on a revolutionary online B2B business model that is sure to fire things up at the retail level. I approached some big names at last year's convention that loved the idea of making some hard-to-get deals available to smaller shops across the country. It's a fairly simple concept in which all who participate can save some serious cash.

    But I won't do the song and dance here. Visit our site for more information.

    Read about what we're doing, sign up, and wait for the deals. If you've got any questions, feel free to email me.

    blah, blah, blah....

    I went to your site and you didn't say ANYTHING! We are getting unspecified deals with unspecified, unspecified types of unspecified groups to get unspecified cigar-related unspecified stuff. "Join up and we will tell you more."

    You had your chance to tell me more at your website and you didn't tell me squat! If I am going to waste my time to actually click on your link (which was your goal), I should get something for my effort. You gave me nothing, and you know what? I bet you never will give me anything.

    Where there is asshat advertiser smoke, there is asshat advertiser fire; and you sir, are smouldering like a mofo!!

    Whoa.. Tough crowd.

    Now tell us how you really feel.

    All kidding aside, though, if there's something you didn't understand, please let me know. If you're not clear as to what we're offering, chances are others aren't either. Although the general response to the program has been favorable, we can certainly improve on it.

    In a nutshell, we're offering a service in which cigar manufacturers will have a direct pipeline to every tobacconist in the US for inside deals that would ultimately be passed on to you, the consumer. Your peripheral participation will allow you to know about cigars and accessories that manufacturers are offering. Should you have interest in them, we'll let you know who made the purchase and how to contact them. There's more, but it's blah blah blah.

    As far as your colorful comments, the last time I burst into a tapestry of profanity like that towards someone, I gave the person the benefit of knowing them for a few years. You, sir, don't know me. Of course, I'm new to the board so I'm not aware of your protocol. But if new guys get welcoming messages like that one, I imagine they don't stick around too long. Kind of ruins the ride. Don't you think?

    you gettin' any?

    I didn't intend to be hard on you as a person. I'm sure you are a great guy. Do you smoke cigars? What do you like? I would not mind at all to get to know you as a person.

    However, you did not come onto this site as a person, but rather as a business. I make NO apology for how hard I scrutinize OR criticize you in that regard. I would be a potential customer in that case AND the customer is always right, right?. I did not directly call your business an asshat business, but rather alluded to that possibility based on your lack of hard content. I understand perfectly WHAT you are doing. It doesn't take a website to explain it. You, however, did not give any details. So, I have to ask, "So what? Why do I care?" Why don't you come back when you have some "cigar manufacturers" or tell us who you have so far. What specific "tobacconist" do you have contacts with?

    (Imagine Samual L. Jackson saying this.) One last point, if you don't mind: I can use profanity on this site if I choose. This is OUR site and it is regulated by OUR members. If you are offended by the terms "asshat" or "mofo" then maybe this site is not your cup of tea. I even apologize for using those offensive terms in relation to your business. However, I don't HAVE to apologize; I just choose to. I appreciate your elegant reponse and I will try to not to resort to any vulgarities while communcating with you. So, yes, tough crowd..., but we can gentle things down for you.

    Fair enough. Apology accepted.

    I'm running late for a meeting here so I won't go into the specifics you requested yet. FWIW, I also appreciate your response and look forward to chatting.

    Not that I'd go out picking curtains with you but it's a start.

    Later.

    Think we have the true purpose of the website in question. This thing don't pass the stink test and looks like nothing more than a email harvesting gimmick site. New website in May? Betcha it's gone by May and anyone who registers there will increase their inbound spam by 1000%.

    No profile info. No introduction. No business or personal information on the website either. Anyone signs up with this clown deserves what they get.

    Peddle your horseshit outa here. And if we are wrong about you, come back in May when you have something legitimate to present to people and I will retract my statements.

    But I won't be holding my breath.

    I tried to sign up but got this



    Server Error in '/' Application.

    Runtime Error

    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>
    Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

    <configuration>
    <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
    </configuration>

    kevin7 has vouched for you as a person. I have never thought you were not a good person. Welcome to the Forum!

    I still do not like your business tactic of saying all the good things you will do for us IF we sign up without some form of up-front content. I am sorry, but my mind is not going to change just because you happen to be a stand-up guy.

    I will refrain from posting my further opinions. I will give you a chance to demonstrate your company's value to this forum. I wish you well.

    That's fair. I didn't get into this thinking it would be easy. Your skepticism is actually encouraging.

    you gettin' any?
