Good work, looks really great.
It does indeed look good, but it doesn’t seem to want to let me log in!
the guy who owned snuff review was never interested and I predicted this would happen. i had a couple of hundred reviews on there but stopped putting stuff on there as i guessed it would be a waste of time. if anyone wants to organise this as a collective type thing io would be happy to contribute
I’m willing to donate to keeping snuffreviews going. It has been a valuable resource for me over the last year. It would be nice if it was owned and run by someone who is interested and cares about the snuff.
I’d be happy to take over running/maintaining. Pay the domain fees, and pay for hosting, but Al would have to be involved in the transfer and he doesn’t seem to be around.
Thanks Filek! I’ve given it a bit of thought and I am going to add my reviews to your site. It’s going to take a while of course. Another thought - it would be good if the ratings from the Polish and English parts of the site could be combined in some way, while keeping the actual reviews separate. Is that possible or even desirable?
That certainly simplifies things! I have noticed that when adding a snuff the form is not always the same. Momentarily confusing and if, as I did, a field gets the wrong information you can’t edit it once it has been submitted. The Levi Garrett entry wasn’t done by Levi Garrett but by me… I also found several snuffs missing from the English language section which I could not enter, being told that the entry already exists, presumably in the Polish language part of the site. The only other niggle so far is that I keep getting logged out. Not a major problem though.
This question comes from an IT iliterate, so forgive me if its stupid, however; could the contents of the site be copied in any way and saved for the future, whatever that might be. Is is practical and lawful to do that?
I tried to retrieve the site with wayback machine but I didn’t have a cahced copy. Boo. I had more luck with google. At least part of the reviews can be retrieved by searching (in google): “inurl:www.snuffreviews.com *” Instead of “*” try typing a member name or snuff. Here’s one [url=http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:to9H78yife8J:www.snuffreviews.com/list.php%3FFunction%3DReviews%26ItemID%3D392+inurl:www.snuffreviews.com+troutstroker&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a]http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:to9H78yife8J:www.snuffreviews.com/list.php%3FFunction%3DReviews%26ItemID%3D392+inurl:www.snuffreviews.com+troutstroker&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a[/url] As you can see I typed. “inurl:www.snuffreviews.com troutstroker”, then clicked “cached”. Instead of reviews by troutstroker, google directed to the page for Spanish Jewel reviews. At least it’s something … HTH Edit: Another way to search cached pages is to search for example: “site:www.snuffreviews.com toque” then click “cached” in the results.
At least I have copies of all my own reviews, both on my own PC and on my own site.
@snuffster Because the guy has an account on this forum, I can’t remember his account name but, somebody could e-mail him. Then, ask if he has a backed-up copy of the database on his computer? I assume it’s a SQL or mySQL database then once you’ve got that, that’s half the job done.
See - didi878 posting #20, on page 1 of this thread.
Filek, I can’t find my account. Is it on the Polish side?
nevermind…
@ Xander Your account has been activated. @OTD Calm down, just updated. Already running.
@wel hehe, so traumatic seeing the other site go by the wayside, I got scared lol (-; @Filek The place looks very nice. Greatly appreciate the expanded English language that’s now in place!!
Thanks, Wel.
I’m not very computer literate, so maybe someone can help me out. Suppose I wanted to pay whatever fee was not paid to get Snuffreviews back up and running? How do you find out who even needs to get paid, much less who was formerly doing the paying?

I have signed up at the new one, but cannot figure a few things out. There are applications that do not seem to do anything. The only one I have been able to use is the my favorites. And I tried using the PM another member and I was able to type up a nice little message but there was nothing to push to get it to actually send. To bad about the old site, I had just started using it and poof it was gone!
