What happened to the other site?

[Hawk6815]

Anyone else been to Stogie and getting Puff.com instead? I know they were planning changes, but I didn't expect that.

Today was the launch of the new site Will. Club Stogie is only a memory now.

yup... but I'm glad we have this place now... staying at CS would have sucked!

[ActionAndy]

I felt a bit guilty about being on two sites at once (not sure why, really) but now that it's officially something else...I guess I can just be at the asylum full time. :ss

[skibumdc]

yup, officially now suckitude.com

[TripleF]

puffer fish? You gotta be kidding me?

[HK3-]

:bs <----- that's what CS has turned into.

[Da Klugs]

It's not going to be BS. Just going much more commercial. It's like your favorite local hangout getting bought out by Consolidated Bars.

Easy to be negative based upon our past interaction but the new version of the old place is whatever the new owner wants to make of it and deservedly so.. he paid good money for it.

Attendance is as always optional as is the case on all things we choose to contribute to. :D

[CBI_2]

It is interesting that there is no apparent evidence that CS ever existed over there.

Have to agree with Scott on the dang fish though.

OOPS! Did I say fish I meant to say, per PETA's request, sea kitten. :D

[Moglman]

Embrace change or get left behind. Treasure your memories and try to make new ones wherever you decide to hang out. Don't get too comfortable lest you get stuck. And foremost, in a hundred years, who's going to care about any of this anyway?

[TDK08]

Its sad to see the direction the site has taken, it used to be great years ago, no denying that, now its only getting worse. The asylum is the place to be now, all the OG CS members were a bit nutty not surprised we all ended up here in the asylum.

You all have tiny penises ;)

[Darrell]

You know what rocks about puff.com?































NOTHING. :)

[TDK08]

theres an alternate link called poof.com or it could be spoof.com i forget

[floydpink]

I'm even more grateful for this place now.

Some great brothers really stepped up to make CA and I am still amazed that no mention of donations has been made nor any advertising is present.

Web sites aren't run for free and I would be clicking on the donation tab the minute it came up here.

Hopefully Jon Caputo realizes that you can buy a name sometimes, but the spirit of the old CS apparantly wasn't for sale.

Don't know him, but my gut says he isn't the kind of guy I would like or respect very much.

gonna be 107F today, my stray jackets coming off!!!

That one made me laugh out loud. :r

[neoflex]

This thread made me curious, but it seems I can't connect.

[Rabidsquirrel]

IMHO, you're not missing much. Waaaaaaaaaaaay too much going on in the front page, horrid layout, bad theme design, no option to change it, etc.

They need a good portal, which they don't have.

You are not missing anything.

[Homebrewer]

Holy f'n puffer. Wow.

[Hawk6815]

Man, that sucks. It looks like Dr. Seuss started a cigar website. I don't care for it.

Will

[Langod]

Looks terrible.

I was a still a fresh-faced noob, when Caputo bought the place and I could immediately tell that it wasn't going going a direction I wanted. The Asylum is much better.
I'm very grateful to the gang who left CS and started CA. Nice job.

[papajohn67]

Perhaps their is a bright side....my CS memorabilia may now be worth a small fortune. :D

[Sauer Grapes]

Don't count on it.

Certainly not someone I would willingly Herf with. Though any REAL BOTL are welcomed to herf in N. Orange County anytime!

Thanks 11 ! ! ! ! !:salute:

If it's "stray" how can you have it on?!:confused:;)

[Benzopyrene]

Well that makes the trimming of the sites I frequent easy! The lady will be pleased and I didnt even have to do anything.

[hotreds]

C'mon, guys, let's not stoop to ad hominem attacks here. Bottom line, we don't know him personally. We can be unhappy about what he's done to our beloved CS, but, after all, it IS his to do as he pleases. Just don't visit the new site, he'll be hurting soon enough! But, to attack the guy personally is beneath we true gorillas. Just my :2

Caputo doesn't seem like a bad guy at all .. likes his family, cigars, and guitars. I mean ... how bad is that?

He IS making business decisions that I disagree with ... but then again, I could have bought Microsoft in 1990 for 64 cents a share .. so my judgment is suspect anyhow.

[gorob23]

I agree 100% Hey you buy the joint run it anyway you like, if I don't like the new menu I'll go elsewhere....:salute:

Damn it, I was ready to pull the trigger on Apple when it was $3.00 a share and I got talked out of it :bh

[South Shield]

All I have to say is thank you Ratters for sending me a PM 3 seconds into my time over there to let me know about this place

[pipermacbean]

I thought there were supposed to be rooms or dorms or fish bowls or sumthin were the guys from former sites could still get together over there and pretend it never happened. I certainly couldn't find them when I was there. :hm Just part of the smoke screen I guess.

And you can give it a top hat and a monocle and put a cigar in it's mouth but it ain't Lowland Louie (R.I.P.)... why do you think they call it a BLOWfish?

[Homebrewer]

What bugs me is that his tophat is on sideways.

[Ashcan Bill]

Every time I see it, it reminds me of a horny tennis ball.

I'm really trying to get past it, but it just cracks me up when I see it. :r

[Skywalker]

I'll buy that for a dollar!!!

[Munkey]

I have an icky taste in my mouth, did someone slip me a Swisher Sweet?
:eek:

[ahc4353]

Truth be told I left and came here. Everyone followed. :D

Is it Monday somewhere?
