Thanks, Mark.
That thread is quite an interesting read.

The news of Caputo's passing just went public the last couple weeks.

While I didn't agree with Caputo and what he did to the site, I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I never felt he was evil, just misguided. I wish his family and the Jungle/Puff well.

There was too much clutter over there for me so I never signed on. I also found the whole fish-sea thing a little silly.
I gather the guy was relatively young, with kids. I feel sorry for his family. I have a feeling there is not a pretty back story to this.
Anyways, it looks like it will be exiting for them over there for a while longer... puff on!:D

I believe Caputo was in his mid-50's when he passed.

I was a former member there. My only regret is how I was established over there and now I have to start over again. I'm surey sentiments are shared by other members as well.

Oh well, such is the internet I suppose.

It is very frustrating and I certainly understand where you are coming from. When Club Stogie was sold, I was very anxious but since the same mods were there and Jon Caputo seemed enthusiastic about maintaining the CS culture, I relaxed. It turned out that the changes around what became pvff.com were such that I was no longer comfortable there and so came over here.

I'm glad that reputation bumps here are not like at CS, because if you had a good circle of friends who had huge reputation numbers then you could quickly have huge numbers as well. I wasn't on the board long before I had huge numbers, mostly from friends in the banter thread. I like the system used here better, but still think that the system is inherently flawed because you can bump someone for just about anything, so a large ring gauge doesn't necessarily equate to cigar knowledge. That's the principle reason that mine is turned off.

I hope that you enjoy your stay in the asylum and that the style here meets your needs.

Tom, those sensitivity classes are really paying off.
I kind of remember you telling Jon to suck something, way back when. ;) :lr

I'm surprised Peter hasn't given you a time-out. :lr

Pu$$.com was the first thing that came up so I went there. The first thing I noticed was a video ad I couldn't stop; it came up with every freakin' page I went to. I got tired of that after three pages so went back to my Google search results. I looked down a little and the word "Asylum" caught my eye. I thought "Asylum? Yeah, that sounds like a place I'd like." And the rest is history...
