Next step is to try and get the old cigar review database from T25C back up for "old days" purposes. That's a little tougher, as technology has changed a lot since 2009!

I hope you can get the review database back, there were some gems on there!

Hey guys - I have had a couple people reach out and ask if they can still log in and see some of the "hidden" forums they had access to.

Answer: No clue.

I am assuming the old emails and passwords came over, and likely the retrieve passwords functions work. But really have not dug into it. If you have a specific request, happy to look into it if you want to IM me here. No guarantees, but understand the desire to see the entirety of the "old world'.

No lie. The old version was in .asp if anyone remembers that. Will need to convert it over, but I agree, there was some great humor in there!

Caputo changed my password and I sure can't ask him. Doh!

It works! Wow, this made my day, thanks Paul.

Classic! I literally know nothing about the forum software, I picked it as it had an easy import facility from the old VB database!

He probably changed it to F**kicehog

Might be worth a shot

Wow, that felt weird logging in to the jungle after over 12 years. Not to mention seeing names of old friends. When I get time I'll have to look through the threads.

Guess it's too late to respond to PM's I never saw

Thanks for the memories. Great to reminisce.

icehog3 · 11-16-2021, 08:16 AM

Bump...any progress, Paul?

pds · 11-16-2021, 09:34 AM

Not much! I keep the forum software up to date so there is always a record of our history, but have not done much more. I was able to get both Top25Cigar, and ClubStogie (obviously!) domains back.

I am hoping to have a new review software written like the old one we had at T25C. Something where the reviews are coming from the public, and tabulated like before. I used it a ton, and can not find anything like it today.

Open to suggestions! Now that the twins are in college, it seems hard to believe I sold the two sites to help financially way back then. Life goes on!
