Just remember how many said they would be there until the end and how quickly the end came (meant to highlight mods, not just members). Just remember you are nothing but a tool for now. As another member said to me, I hope the mods are receiving ample boxes of cigars for what they do. I know for sure that is not an easy job to do. It is probably quite thankless at this juncture. Just keep in mind who it is you are doing it for and what they have represented thus far to date. It is that part people are lashing at, not you.

.

Exactly right!! Sorry to any mods that I ruffled in the past, really nothing personal, Just trying to get off the roles of that "other place". I felt like a commodity more that a member.

Then on Friday the arrogance of the big man made and appearance via Louie and that was it for me. Tried to get washed out, revoked whatever. It worked, and if anything was less than honorable, I'm sorry. I try to be better than that...

Never Goatsed the place but if I was going to get banned it would have been worth it.

As my ban message clearly states "You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

So yeah, I don't know why I was banned. I didn't break any of the rules and I wasn't Goatseing the place. Just answering a question that someone asked that I understood to mean that they wanted to get banned. So I told them how to do it, didn't actually do anything myself.

See, both of my statements are 100% accurate.

Even puff can't give a reason for my ban so if they don't know why I was b& how am I supposed to know the reason?

Cheers,
Rob



I don't think you're trying to stir anything up. In fact, I'm one of the many that got emotional and frustrated but I didn't pull the trigger and spam the place with Goatse.

Simply stated my thoughts on the new site and that is in no way against any of the rules...

It's all good, I may just get behind 7 proxies and have a little fun with ol' puff. I mean if I'm going to do the time I should probably retroactively do the crime.

Probably won't though because I really don't care enough. I've just got a mean side but it very seldome takes controll and I've got better things to do with my time.


Cheers,
Rob

I would imagine you have much better things to do with your time.

Most of us (well me) are in the same camp. Pretty over the top over-reaction on my part seeing Louie skinned and then used to march around the bleak remnants of the Jungle.

It's over now, the jungle is gone and we all need to move on. CigarAsylum.com and Pvff.com remain out there as choices for anyone (well most of you) to participate in or not. Places like this are all about the people and the people that created my frame of reference for this addiction are here, so in my heart and head the home has been transferred with the soul we all have brought. I liken it to a team moving to a new stadium. What was the important part of the team and stadium combination to each of us?

I feel very thankful for the many friendships made there, the smooth transference and what everyone has continued to build here. Sorry for those who have had difficulties there or remain in difficult circumstances but it's a choice they make daily for personal reasons and consequences.

Look forward to a seperate existance from what that place has become, with diminished noise based upon there being fully what it is intended to be now. Our friends who have chosen to remain there are still our friends, they know where we are.

Who and what we are is better demonstrated in almost every other thread in this community.

Re: It's happening
 
Skimmed over the last few pages and will admit it saddens me.

A couple notes to all just as a FYI:

1) If any personal threats that are ever made here at CA towards another member, they will be banned without hesitation. No warnings, with zero tolerance. Promise.

2) PM's here are just that. Private Messages. PM's here are not and will not be read by any of the admins. We also take this very seriously.

3) Cigar Asylum is just another board on the web. There are many. Folks seeking us will find us eventually. Folks will hang their hats where they feel most comfortable.

As both a member & admin here, I ask everyone to please try to hold to a higher standard and not intentionally or maliciously create problems for any other boards out there, no matter how subtle. Doing so will actually hurt us more than them.

I am just as sad as many you about what happened to Club Stogie as we knew it. As a former/current non-contributing member there, many of us including me had no voice in the business decision. We had no vote of approval. We all simply had to accept or not accept what CS would eventually become.

As a result, Cigar Asylum was born.

I will not speak for any of the other former mods, but as a former mod at CS for many many years, after the sale I was not happy how things were being done, how decisions were being made, and the future that was in store for me there.
Did I post malicious threads there indicating my displeasure? No, it wasnt required. I simply made my exit. No drama.

Im happy you all are here. The entire team of 11 is. All I am asking I guess is to let history run its course. For in the end, things will turn out exactly as they are supposed to anyways.

I don't know if this has been said here, but it was on another forum. I just want to set the record straight.

The idea for Louie came from the mod team (CS members), not Jon. We thought it would be a good way for some of us to log on and keep the spirit alive. That way Louie would have several different personalities depending on who was logged in. I know the old mod team often had different usernames to spice up the jungle.

In the end, Jon stood up and took the blame when I thought we should have. That was his call.

Was is a good idea, I guess not. :hn Clearly it backfired and we have learned from the experience.

That's part of life though. Everytime you start something new you always go back to 0. That is what makes your new adventure fun. Trying to get back to what you consider the top.

I hear ya. Try to think of it as a new beginning though.
Considering the Asylum was formed recently in Oct 2008 makes us all a part of the Asylums foundation of what we are to become.

Well, Puff doesn't have me to kick around anymore. I was banned about 1/2 hour ago for having multiple accounts. The Mods were allowed to have them when I was a Mod, that is why it was there. One of the Mods there picked a reason to can me, no "can we delete your other account", no explanation, just banned after 4 years there, 3 as a Mod.

Classy.

SilverFox 01-26-2009 03:50 PM

Re: It's happening
 
I was banned day yesterday for asking to my site supporter tag removed. It was a respectful post and factual post stating my basis for it. My user is still up and it says chose to leave. Oh and my request post was deleted.

It isn't that I was banned that I mind, it is that my user profile and the site supporter tag is up there. Maybe petty but.

Anyway as has been said before it really doesn't matter I only actually looked back there as a result of this thread and a massive inflow of new members so and when there decided i didn't like being considered a site supporter of the new site as I am not.

Think it is in poor form that you got banned without so much as a note Tom.

Don't worry we still love you and there is plenty of Vodka here.

icehog3 01-26-2009 03:51 PM

Re: It's happening
 
Caputo jumbled my password, for all intents and purposes banning me. That is OK, my time was done there anyway.

I will not stand for the man(?) calling me a liar on his board though, when I obviously can't defend myself. He is saying publicly I am not banned? He knows what was done....the man is a liar. Period.

Wow... that is low. I heard about that being a common practice at another board (that he snatched up).

Truly unbelievable......... I know there's cross board drama (which I've stayed out of) but I never knew the mods and/or admins there would stoop so low as to do that to anyone... least of all someone who was so instrumental in making it the community it was. Very unfortunate.

OK, I have had my vent, I will take the advice (subliminally) of a wise Inmate here and be done.

I sent an e-mail to Caputo with no insults, no threats (I would never do that), no drama, just asking that he stop calling me a liar on Pvff.

Sorry for stirring this up....4 years was a long time of love for me, and I went off the deep end for 15 minutes,. I will be done with this now.
