In regards to:
"Q: Will there be a PAID member area of the forum?

A: The entire forum will be open and free to everyone. We may have a paid membership section for things like special
discounts from vendors, sponsors, discounts on conferences and magazines and such but that would be the extent of it. If you have already paid for membership on Clubstogie that paid membership will move over to Puff.com"

In the event this may becomes reality......
Currently our supporter status is valid in 6 month intervals.
How will this expiration be handled?
I just renewed my supporter status and would like to have this time in limbo defined for me.

Say that the puff.com switch over takes place 01-JAN 2009.... then a paid membership becomes a reality on 01-May 2009.
I wouldn't want to lose this 'limbo' time off of my paid supporter time since the time in between January and May would be free to all except those from CS that are/were supporters.

I know this is a trivial amount of coin, but I thought I would ask before someone else does.

Is any of that clear? Can you understand what I am getting at?

IMHO - Anyone that is a CS supporter right now(or on the date which you take/took ownership) should be granted a 6 month subscription if and when that becomes a reality.


Thoughts?



Thanks for your time and I think I am looking forward to this!


Tim
Fair enough. Everyone who has a active membership at that time will automatically be granted 6 months starting at the date of relaunch

Sound good?

Does this mean I can trade in all of my CS stuff like stickers, troop support stickers, CS guyaberra for all Puff itemized things?

It only sounds that way if you associate it.
I would have to be under the assumption that the masses do not think that way but again I could be wrong...........











ME? Wrong???!!!!


NAHHHHHH

As for the intro. Thank you. Hopefully some things change with CS also....for the better of course.

Re: Announcement! Future Plans - Read within if you dare...

I really think www.puff.com is the cheasiest name that could have been picked....Ill bet anything my company will block it 2 weeks of launch

When I started looking for a cigar community to join I just decided to join 3 and see how they were. One thing I love about clubstogie that was different than the other 2 was there are no snooty people here and they accept you for who you are. I wont name the other sites I joined and couldnt stand but the people there thought they were godly and treated noobs like dirt. Ive never seen one time in my time at clubstogie where a veteran member would tell off a noob for a dumb question and thats what makes club stogie special. Hell that noob that asked the question would probably get bombed 5 times just for being a noob in the first place.

I havent been to the other sights that you have bought and are going to merge into puff.com but if any of those people are the least bit snooty I can say I wont visit very often.

Ive been a part of many forum merges with my other hobbies and am sad to say it never really works out well and members look for other boards to try and find a new home.

Well, I've tried to keep an open mind, but this is beginning to suck. It was fun while it lasted.

You will be granted tickets for each CS item you have. the tickets will then be transferred into points. The points will be tabulated, and then you will be given a revised number of tickets with which you may purchase back your old CS items at a discount

Re: Announcement! Future Plans - Read within if you dare...

If there's no pipe forum, I won't be coming along.

Another thing, the daily post count here is at the upper limits of what I'm willing to browse through.
I wonder how many dozens of pages of new posts there will be on the new "mega-site."

Just wondering aloud. I have a flame retardant suit at the ready.
Pete...you're banned!

Re: Announcement! Future Plans - Read within if you dare...

I pretty much saw this scenario coming from a mile away, I have seen it happen before with other large forums.....lets just hope it works better than previous forums I was a member of.

People tend to stick to a certain forum for a reason, when there are multiple to choose from . . . .

Re: Announcement! Future Plans - Read within if you dare...

puff.com huh?
Will we be dragons now instead of gorillas?
I guess my clubstogies logo items will now be collector items.
Do you have a logo in mind?
