I know there are still questions about how you will generate income from the site... and about protection of our personal information, e-mail addresses, etc.

I am glad the mods from CS are on-board.

I knew I left out something damn it! lol

This is a top priority for myself and the mod team as well - for sure.

I do appreciate you keeping the integrity of the forums through forums.puff.com, thank you.

Is part of the vision to give puff.com the feel of other social networks like myspace or facebook?

Thanks,
Ji

P.S... thanks for the future drinks!

A excellent question. That is not our main goal but may happen as a byproduct. Our main goal is being all about cigars and providing the best most interesting content and a friendly cigar community

Will these clubhouses, have different sub forums within them? Or will they just be a general area?

Jon has already bought 500 tons of ammonium nitrate to further his plans to "destroy" the Habanos Lounge.

Farewell Club Stogie, it has been fun.

Puff.com is a horrible name.

Yes that is something we are going to strive for and the mods from each forum will be modding their own clubhouse

[replicant_argent]

Let's just say, for hypothetical reasoning, of course, that I was banned from one forum, for whatever reason in the past, how would that affect my membership to another clubhouse in the future? And current and future banning policies? Are those on the table as of yet? The internecine conflicts between boards that currently exist? How will those established conflicts be resolved, through moderator mediation boards? A few very "celebrated" individuals come to mind, and there are no deficiencies of quite passionate and outspoken individuals regarding how the integration of "clubhouses" will be perceived, not to mention posting erm........ styles. the main Puff.com board may have to have quite different policies than the sub-boards, and more stringent, making some hypocritical conflict inevitable, or in the milieu of the child forum, a cultural change that is antagonistic due to the inherent nature of that forum to begin with.


Just wondering aloud. I have a flame retardant suit at the ready.

Jon - I'm a little disappointed; I just signed up for CS, have learned to love it and now, you're telling me it's all changing?? Eh, it's ok, just keep the drinks coming.

While I too am not thrilled about the name, all I really care about is that Puff.com just better not be blocked by my work firewall, damn it.

Nice to have you onboard Jon. Best of luck.
