It's happend

[piperman]

Kelly would be what, around -7500 per ding, that would be enough
Most people over here have more them him, I think it should be done.

[Prospector]

And I read it yesterday. :(



So did I.

I also watched another thread disappear right before my eyes. Someone posted inquiring as to if this was still the home of the lowland gorillas. I did a quick refresh to see if anybody might respond and, -poof- it was gone.

[Da Klugs]

Probably falls under "Drama" on page 42 of "leadership by delusion - my way is best for me". :D

Better not if you want to still be able to log on. You'd be a target.

[DrDubzz]

unfortunately.. I tihnk Kelly's ding would only hit him for 400 now... Ding is half the power of a boost. I think Kelly could give an 800 point boost right now.

is that it? I was thinking it was like ten percent of your score

what you're saying makes more sense...

well, it'll just take more of us :ss

[JKim]

Of course, there is one.... One member that would send him absolutely plummeting, but I won't mention his name out of respect for the turmoil he caused.

A quick look at the members list sorted by Reputation will show you the answer.

Mod suicide there. :D Maybe Kevin G is up for it. :r

[poker]

I just looked up Kelly's RG. It's down to 77k? wth... At any riate.. you could get him negative I'm sure but like Kelly mentioned he can write in any number he wants.

This is my theory of the missing threads. They're all in the Drama Forum behind closed doors. Now whether they are re-populated into public view depends on if someone takes the time to sort what they want to keep and what they don't.

Of course this is speculation, but it sounds about right to me.

Its true. You can tweek vb to have RG/rep/fins/whatever to any random number you like if you are an admin.
He can also place any threads or rooms in or out of sight. They're still there, just not visable to the general population.

To be honest, its not worth my time or effort to go and ding him. Chances are the whole RG thing may just disappear anyways very soon there.

[DrDubzz]

I see, MR L

[DrDubzz]

then we must act quickly :r

I agree with Dustin. He'd like the attention.
I think a far better way to help out would be to see to it that all our buds are invited over here.

LOL and then of course in douchebag fashion, immediately closed the thread.

I disagree, Dustin. sort of.
RG dings are not a CA statement but an individual's statement. Each person who is a member there can decide for themselves.

For me, it's not worth the headache.

JC is a pathological liar and to make snide comments after being told how to find out what happened to rjs' thread, he claims that Paul hard deleted the thread. While certainly possible, I would be very surprised that Paul did so.

[DrDubzz]

[JKim]

I kind of hope Paul did delete RJS' thread. It seems fitting that Paul should decide the fate of that thread considering their history together. Do you think that thread belongs over there at all?

[The Professor]

I'd be surprised too. I PM'd Paul asking if he saved a copy before getting rid of it. Fingers are crossed.

ah, yeah I never saw that one

maybe someday a saved copy will pop up

[KidRock]

CS was a great site...Then I realized I needed to save more of my roll over minutes.

[LasciviousXXX]

If Paul deleted it then I have absolutely no issue with that :)

[piperman]

Why did PDS decide to be a Mod.

[LasciviousXXX]

You are much more gracious than I would be after he just closed that thread!!!

If you'd have seen the PM's I've gotten from him, then you'd be MUCH more surprised lol.


The reason why we are what we are here on CA, is because of that fact. Its what differentiates us from them.

I'm better with Paul deleting it than JC ... I just wish I would have saved a copy to my hard drive. It was a nice post and ... well ... I have a lot of memories associated with it (e.g., meeting Rob right before he wrote it).

Believe me, if his ban's were based on browser cache then he has no clue how to operate a VB board nor does his webmaster.

I'm willing to bet that many of the passwords that mods had at CS are still active. Just remember to clear your browers cache.

Just generally speaking my guess would be that many old passwords still work.

If anyone still needs to tell anyone about the asylum over here, use this tinylink I set up:

It'll take them right to cigarasylum, and won't get censored out. If JC catches on and it does, just create a new one at tinylink.com

You'll have to pardon me, but it seems that this thread appears to be 53 pages long, much too long for an old gentleman as myself to lull away hours reading through the chronological banter of this conversation. If you would, kind sirs, point me as what ever became of the prestigeous club stogie? (Your supposed to read that while keeping an old-style aristocratic English accent in mind).

Ya, so...I am kind of interested in knowing what ever did happen over at clubstogie. It apparently started into motion before I ever got into the cigar scene. That being said, it was where I got started while searching for an intersection between cigars and internet, days after coming back from Cuba with Cohibas in hand. Within days someone kindly tapped me on the shoulder and pointed me towards the asylum. But, for weeks to months I would bounce back and forth. CA was just had so much more personality that I eventually stopped going to CS at all. But there is some naustalgia there, so it would be nice to know how things played out that eventually lead to this smearing of such an otherwise worthy place.

I'll give you the cliff notes version from my perspective. CS is/was home to MANY of us for many years. During the fall of last year it was purchased by a guy named Jon Caputo. He purchased that and other sites as well at the same time. He informed the then MOD staff of his plans for the site in the near future. I was part of that MOD staff. The entire staff was not comfortable with the direction he wanted to take CS. So we, 100% of the CS MOD team, created a place for our friends and family on CS so the spirit of community that ClubStogie created could be kept intact. Thus was born the "Team of 11". 11 members who made up the entire staff of ClubStogie. We formed CigarAsylum in order to give cigar smokers an Asylum of sorts away from the commercial exploits of the newly formed Puff.

Most of the membership of CS migrated here when they saw what had happened to their home. We saw the writing on the wall and were able to act before all the changes went down.

Believe me my friend, no one was more sad than us as CS was our true home for many many years. Some had been members since its inception.

That in a nutshell is what happened.

[Andyman]

The exodus is complete. Our fellow Gorillas are safely out! :salute:

[icehog3]

We have his heart wrapped around 1500 of us. He's not going anywhere. :D

[montecristo#2]

To those that did their janitorial duties in the ocean that decided to part ways with the captain of the ship, I offer you my most humble thanks for stepping up and trying to help while ultimately being rejected.

My heart goes out to you guys, and I have more respect for you than you could know

[Teeznutz]

Very glad i'm proud of the Asylum!! Great memories CS!

[chippewastud79]

There will always be people who don't know the true story. Its just sad that new members will never know the true beginnings of CS and how it was morphed into a comercial site and any hints at the greatness of the previous site will soon be removed. :rolleyes:

[Starscream]

RG 3782 now.
You got hit by a big fish!


I doubt that... I believe what Andyman was alluding to is that Paul may be contractually obligated to stick around for a bit.

That's a shame. Anybody talk to Paul about this? Will he be over here eventually, when that contract is up? I never met him personally, but the interaction I have had w/ him proves to me that he is a stand up guy.

I initially sent a PM off to members of our elite group of 11 to perhaps gently guide this thread into the abyss. Then I realized that you should never ask of someone something that you are not willing to do yourself.

While I fully agree that there is an onslaught of emotional waste that has occured as a result of one mans actions over at the jungle formerly known as CS I think maybe it is time to enjoy the Asylum for what it is and bury all this negativity.

It is clear that we have something better than what we left behind, I respectfully ask my fellow inmates to let this issue fall aside and die, we are better than that, that is why we came here.

Thank you,

Shawn

[LasciviousXXX]

Well said my foxy friend.

I know I let my baser instincts take over when I saw how unjustly Tom, Dave, Peter and other elder members were being treated. However now that most of our brethren have entered the Asylum I will do my best to help continue to cultivate the type of community here at the Asylum that we've always had.

So from here on, I'll try to stay classy San Diego :tu

[AD720]

I agree with you Shawn, about enjoying what we have and all.

I am really glad that this thread was here. It was a place to blow off some steam and commiserate with people that were/are going though the same things, same emotions. Without it I personally would have let my emotions get the better of me and done or said things over there that I would have regretted at some point. Nothing bad or illegal but I would have been disappointed in myself for sinking to as low a level as those that upset me.

That being said I think that it will eventually fall into the abyss on it's own.

[chippewastud79]

It was a place to blow off some steam and commiserate with people that were/are going though the same things, same emotions.

Great post Shawn. But I must admit, it is difficult for me. I was actually well behaved there for awhile, waited to see how things would turn, gave Jon the benefit of the doubt. But after seeing how my friends were treated so badly there, a place we all helped build into the splendid forum it was, and his attitude I just can't help myself. We have had some back and forth, and at this point I know i'm pissing him off but good. And that's very gratifying to me :D

But again, CS lives on here pretty much in reality as well as spirit. This is where my friends are and this is where I'll be happy to call home. Thanks to the 11 for putting up this site. Now I just need to figure out how to become a site supporter here. :ss

The exact same comparison has been running through my head!

[Nick]

He doesn't care how many people he bans because new people join and other "new" people will join. I really hope he gets nailed for fraud.

I think he was a part of mod v.2.0 but was overweitten in v.2.2

[Starscream]

Again?

There's more than meets the eye to this. What kind of sticks did JC promise him?:)

[JKim]

What happened to Darrell's loyalties over here?

[MedicCook]

I finally had to sign off. I tried to hang around because there was still a lot of good old content posted there but after the last two days with the massive banning and deleting of threads that was enough. I am more of a mental case then a swimmer.

WTF is this? It is on JC's sig line.... :bs

The lure of the Puff lifestyle was just too strong Ji.

That's not his sig line, that was just a post he made listing who had duplicate usernames that would have the "-cr" added to them.

I don't see how this necessarily makes him disloyal to anyone here. Caputo appears to be an ass, but Darrell may simply be trying to save a dying community.

I don't know either well enough to go into it much more, but I don't think being a mod at one instantly makes you disloyal to the other.

I actually had my resignation typed up and saved so I could send it to him tonight. Got home from dinner, logged in and discovered there was no need to send it. He did say that if I wanted to remain a mod to let him know. I think I will pass.

I've never even had a hush puppie. Apparently they aren't that popular here in California.

[VirtualSmitty]

You sir are missing out.

[yitlin]

The goings on over there remind me of high school. Should I be nauseated that such an infant can throw sums of cash around like he does, should I be depressed, or should I just be glad I have found a forum that is frequented by adults? I'm going to have to go with the latter option.

[Starscream]

I've never even had a hush puppie. Apparently they aren't that popular here in California.

It's a staple down here in the south. One of the four major food groups: Grits, hushpuppies, sweet tea, and collard sandwiches. (and fatback too.)

[AAlmeter]

You sir are missing out.

With honey butter.... :D

[Bruzee]

Long John Silvers and Captain D's serve hushpuppies. They are good, but they're not good ol' southern hushpuppies.

[BP22]

Your all being so creative...I got to think of something good. :ss

[montecristo#2]

It was Jon's decision, not yours???

I think he just figured it was a group decision. And since he was deactivating Dave and I, he probably deactivated Donnie as well.

After Dave sent him a PM, he sent me one asking if I was stepping down as well. The rest is history.

[Starscream]

With honey butter.... :D

:tpd::dr

[VirtualSmitty]

You nailed it Adam. Hushpuppies and a bowl of warm honey butter is out of this world. Down in Myrles Inlet SC there are two places that have great hush puppies, Lee's Inlet Kitchen and Drunken Jacks!

Threadjack off :salute:

[Starscream]

^ Yah I would assume so. I have had sweet tea though and I make sun tea. :dance:

What the crap is a collared sandwich.

A collard sandwich is not really a sandwich. It's about a pound of collards slapped in between two big pieces of fried cornbread. It usually comes w/ a couple pieces of fatback. You can't pick it up and eat it like a sandwich, but it's dang good.

[madurolover]

Love PF Changs! What did you have???:dr

Had the Honey Glazed shrimp and the Wok Fried beef.

Also, just so you yankees know, you do not eat hushpuppies with honey butter! :r

Depends on what kind of hushpuppies you're eating. The sweet ones pair well w/ honey butter. The hushpuppies w/ onions in them pair better w/ ketchup or cocktail sauce.

Yah but you're from fresno, I think Tri-Tip is only really available in central CA. It was first made in Santa Maria, I grew up in Atascadero so I've had it all my life.

Since this seems to be the thread to get things off of your chest, I would like to do just that. What I am about to post is something I need to do if I am to ever feel comfortable at CA. I keep seeing all of this talk about this being the "new" CS but I have to wonder.

In the past few days (8- 10) I have received PM's from some of the members here that seem to be held in high regard. I will not name them but I will tell you that never have I got such nasty, vile messages from people that I consider my "brothers". I have been told that I am a piece of Sh!t, my mother is a stinking wh0re, and other stuff that was much worse. All of this because I wanted to try and do what I could to help the forum I called home. Basically I wanted to do for new members there what the old mod team did for me when I first joined 3 years ago, and that is gentle guidance and help anytime it was needed.

I would like for the members that said these things to maybe sit back and think about what the "brotherhood" means and if you think that these types of actions were an appropriate way to treat a BOTL.

I will also say that if anyone has any question about it , no it was not any of the 11.

With that said I would like to suggest that we move forward and continue to spread the wealth of information we have to new and old members alike.

Team of 11, if this is inappropriate feel free to delete.

I would like for the members that said these things to maybe sit back and think about what the "brotherhood" means and if you think that these types of actions were an appropriate way to treat a BOTL.

I will also say that if anyone has any question about it , no it was not any of the 11.

With that said I would like to suggest that we move forward and continue to spread the wealth of information we have to new and old members alike.

Team of 11, if this is inappropriate feel free to delete.

It's definitely a bummer. The thing to do is to distinguish real and cyber. I'm sure that those people feel bad about there actions and no it was uncalled for and I hope that they apologize. We are still all BOTL's and should treat each other as such. I feel no anger for those that elected to stay I just don't like the boss.

Since this seems to be the thread to get things off of your chest, I would like to do just that. What I am about to post is something I need to do if I am to ever feel comfortable at CA. I keep seeing all of this talk about this being the "new" CS but I have to wonder.

In the past few days (8- 10) I have received PM's from some of the members here that seem to be held in high regard. I will not name them but I will tell you that never have I got such nasty, vile messages from people that I consider my "brothers". I have been told that I am a piece of Sh!t, my mother is a stinking wh0re, and other stuff that was much worse. All of this because I wanted to try and do what I could to help the forum I called home. Basically I wanted to do for new members there what the old mod team did for me when I first joined 3 years ago, and that is gentle guidance and help anytime it was needed.

^^^ I agree with all of the above.

I've got a big mouth but I would never go that far. The worst Donnie could expect from me is being possibly Goatsed. nudge nudge. lulz

But seriously, making attacks personal is not cool. If you wanna attack a website then do it, if you want to voice your disaproval that someone is doing something then say it. It is never ok to attack someone personally cause you don't know their situation.

Cheers,
Rob

Maybe he is just disgruntled?

I put him at -79 :D

I can't get him. I've given out too much RG in the past 24 hrs. Someone ding him for me.

[rack04]

Maybe he is just disgruntled?

Or many he/she trying to over compensate for something.

You put Jon at -79? This thread moves pretty fast so I might have missed something.

Wow, that really sucks. You, Aaron, Dave and Ji (I hope I didn't forget anyone) were in a very cumbersome spot and I personally have great respect for each of you stepping in to try to salvage a terrible situation. I hope (believe) that most members here agree with me that you guys are not to blame for what's going on at pvff. Hopefully, in time, the members that harassed you guys over there will apologize as warranted. IMO, your BOTL nature is exemplified in your attempt to salvage what appears to be "unsalvageable". You are not to blame...it seems pretty clear who is.

THANK YOU for the effort....truly.

This conduct is absolutely not appropriate. NO reason why that type of behavior should ever be acceptable, and I hope it is dealt with appropiately.

But, also I can't understand why some of the admin decisions at PF have been openly accepted by some mods/admins at that site. Can anyone please explain why complete censorship by Jon is okay over there? No questions, no "outside the box" thinking is accepted apparently. I truthfully don't want this to turn into a PUFF bashing post, but that guy is a complete ****ing jackass.. and in a couple of months we will all look back and see what he had coming to him.

Good luck Jackass, you're gonna need it. :fu :fu :fu :fu
