I would be happy if FB utterly failed and collapsed into ash. The only reason I’m still there, is the others WON’T leave. Why is it, no matter the aggression/repression one receives, they feel like They can’t leave? Too much time invested? Too many friends/followers? No matter how much people perceive that FB is the paragon of social media, it is oppressive to their free speech, invasive to their privacy, and dangerous in their manipulation. As far as usability, it is the shining diamond, but that’s only the illusion that hides the malicious intent. How do we make this a home for snuffers? I’m not sure you can, but I won’t say you can’t. An app is probably the best option, but it’s also the expensive option. I think people would pay a one time fee for such an app, though. A place solely for one group of individuals, that has a modern social media platform style. But that’s a lot of money for, in all probability, a few hundred people, at most. I wish everyone had flooded over here, but it will take pushing and perks.

How do you make this a home for snuffers?

1. Integrate this forum into your webstore, or embed a Web banner link to it.
2. Send an email notification / invitation to join the new snuff forum to all your customers.
3. Consider setting an additional discount for your forum members 😉

Who posted that? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think a banner ad on Toquesnuff.com is the way to go.  I’ve been a member of snuffhouse since 2015, but it’s gotten pretty quiet over there lately. I’ll be adding this page to my daily check-ins and expect some community to develop over time.  I wouldn’t have heard about this page if not for someone mentioning it as an incidental on snuffhouse.

Might everyone be saying the same thing?  Just leave, dang it.  In my opinion, nothing justifies willingly participating in a system of agitprop and censorship, particularly not a reason as tepid as “it’s what my friends use”.  Apologies for the socially ham-fisted introduction to your forum. I promise I’m not always so acerbic.

Cheers all.

EDIT: I was unable to post when I used the quote function. If I quoted in either the Visual or Text editors, my post would disappear. It worked once I manually added the “blockquote” HTML tag.

Just c-pasting some very sound ideas of @Filip F from “Hello” thread here.

“Add a shoutbox. It is a place on the site where you can send small and quick messages and everyone on the forums sees them and can reply, without refreshing the site. It is something like a group chat on facebook, but everyone can talk.

Add Private Messages. This would be a great way how to communicate with other members, users could also disable their PMs if they do not want other users messaging them.

Make replies automatically quote the person, it will be much easier to see who is replying to who.”

Suggestions to make this a successful forum.

Making Snuff/Recipes

A really good search engine,

, or a way that when your typing in your post, it sort of shows you the search results/ or where your question/comment may already exist elsewhere within the forum. “A way to prevent reinventing the wheel”

A Ladies night, women was the main draw for me at Facebook, now that I’m an old man, I don’t even get on FB -much-, SCRATCH THAT “at all” now that I’m not on there fishing for dates. I looked on eF/Be marketplace for a 235-75-r15 tire, besides that I DONT USE FB for anything, besides deals on tires.

It’s good as it is, nice and simple.

I like the idea of a banner ad on Toque Snuff. And an email to customers telling them about the Forum. The only thing new that I can add is a place on the forum to post reviews.  Styled like tobaccoreviews.com for pipe smokers. Thousands of brands are listed, you post your review under that blend. Others curious about that blend can read the reviews for that specific blend.  Maybe just offer the discount to those who PARTICIPATE in the forum.

I very much enjoy forums like this. As an older person, having the ability to modify font on the forum would be most welcome. The default is very washed out and difficult to read. Resizing helped, but it’s very much on the pale side for my tastes.
