Wow, cakeanddottle, I am impressed with how much time and effort you are putting into this. Thanks a bunch. ps–how much coffee do you drink, lol?
you mean how much snuff have I been sampling, just got two orders in the mail yesterday. I’m a little wired 
Would you be willing to implement some sort of automated snuff review database backup download thingamajig such when and if you go the way of the dodo just as snuffewviews did , there would be a chance that one of our members had downloaded it ?
note the last time I updated. I still maintain it. I won’t stop, and if for some reason I did I would give the domain and the site backup to someone here
That is not my concern , I trust you will maintain it for as long as humanly possible. But things can and do happen , such as large boxes of metal speeding down the road. I don’t want to sound grim , but snuffreviews.com did go down and even though it’s still accessible through Internet voodoo magic (http://web.archive.org/web/20110203003024/http://snuffreviews.com/ ) it’s not a fun task to parse through data that was not meant to be parsed and extracted. Edit: in the link , the reviews themselves were not captured , so this further enforces my point.
I could possibly implement some way to download a csv output of the reviews. It wouldn’t be pretty, and it would be much more useful than digging through a cached version of a dead site. If someone suggests something better I’d be all ears.
Taxi and Magnet should probably be listed under Leonard Dingler. True, Dingler is now owned by Phillip Morris South Africa, but for ease of use it probably best to keep the snuffs listed to the company identified on the tin rather than a shadowy parent company. This way a newcomer who is not in the knowlege of who owns what behind the scenes can find it more easily. Incidentally, Best Blend is also now owned by PM, but likewise witht the Taxi tins they only list Best Blend on the label. They only make one snuff, Wilson’s Menthol Snuff from Wilson (Top Mill) (Pty.) Ltd. of Rustenburg, S.A.
Cakeanddottle, We’d be happy to help with costs/sponsorship.
I just put up my old Gawith Apricot review (awaiting approval), it’s practically the opposite of the one already on there so it makes for an interesting contrast!
Just put my first snuff review up, thank you cakeanddottle
You’re welcome!
Trust me guys, I know there are a few things about the site that could be improved. I’ll keep working on it.
I really love the simplicity of it, as a complete It dummy and instinctive hater of computerish things it is a very refreshing and sleek format, I would really like to see it stay that way. I know I’m just an old luddite but simplicity is sooo nice.
@Snuffster
the one thing I really want is to have one login instead of having to provide your details every time you leave a review. This would also allow the possibility of viewing all of a user’s reviews.
I also want to see the aggregate rating and the number of reviews next to each snuff on the manufacturer page.
These are things that are easier said than done with the components I am using, but I will shoot for it. Also, I agree, for a site like this simple is better. I am not looking at changing the layout, just adding useful functionality.
You are given two words, I can get the first but the second could be anything - unless there is some trick to it?
Snuffster, Are you related to Bob in anyway?
only by species.
Homosapien or neanderthal?
Something in between - Homothanderhal. We are small, ape like creatures living mostly off grapes and leaf products.
So i thought i’d throw something onto the pile: http://hastenetworks.com/ http://hastenetworks.com/snuffs/view/4f6565b4-2464-47e0-bd98-27352fd96c58 If anybody wants to test out the interface , sign up here: http://hastenetworks.com/users/register I’ll activate your accounts* and you can take it for a spin. needs not re-enter username/pass for every review , i’ve got data aggregation going , fully configurable user editable manufacturer’s , snuffs and reviews and all that jazz. If you guys like it and suggest improvements , i’ll fix it up some more and publish it as open source so cakeanddottle , snuffhouse , and mr.snuff/roderick can all run their own copies and perhaps sponsor me with snuff for life haha. Also , searching works real nice too , Seriously though , it only took me ~2 hours to set it up the way it is , so I can turn this into something really powerful in no-time. * = accounts active by default for today , it is an alpha test . Later on I’ll manually approve or switch to email validation. For now it’s free for all. play nice! /FOR FAME AND GLORY!
“Something in between - Homothanderhal. We are small, ape like creatures living mostly off grapes and leaf products.” same thing I was going to say.
