No it isn't. The merge is the main reason, that will change everything.That the name is lame, the new logo is lame and the new tagline is lame is less important.

That show was H.R. Puffnstuff. "Puff the Magic Dragon" was a song from the 60's.

That was H.R. Pufnstuf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.R._Pufnstuf. Kind of sad that I know that, now that I think about it...

haha, the more I look at that that more it looks like instead of a white hat, it looks like a headband that's squeezing off a bit of fluff head

Add a cigar dangling from his mouth and you'd be all set.

Re: Is it just the name that turns you off?

Out of the many forums out there we should go with the best, which is CS. This is no lame view or "I have an ego" position, but the truth. I have been on the other sites. There are some great BOTLs on other forums. Many are members of two or three. Let's leave egos out and admit CS is the best name. If not CS, just plain "the New CS" and leave it at that. We have a good system of status, etc. It is not too late to change the name.

So what u say JC?

Just my two cents.

Re: Is it just the name that turns you off?

I'm not against a change in ownership, or even some changes on the board. However, when I read that this site is about to get lumped in with several others (some of which I tried and left), and that there will be paid opinions and interviews with cigar manufacturers, well, that just isn't why I came here. I hope that the new owner doesn't make changes that fundamentally alter the place - although that is what I see coming, from what I've read.

His investment wouldn't be worth much with all of us gone.

My good photo editor is on my other computer, or I'd do it myself.
