Seems like another Mr Snuff marketing ploy…

Care to elaborate @shezzuk1? i see no relation to mrsnuff.
I realize my last post might have come across as sarcastic or flippant. I didn’t mean it that way. I think the snuffhouse forum is a great resource, I’ve got a lot out of it – and hope, to the best of my limited ability, to put back in. I admit that when I first heard about ISTA, I thought it might devalue the forum, with the interesting discussions going on behind doors. But reading some of the explanations, I don’t think it’s really a club for users as much as for industry people, retailers, and hard core advocates. That’s fine. At present, if they want to communicate privately, they probably just use a limited email list. Nothing wrong with establishing some forum for them to communicate more effectively. Probably would have worked just as well without a public announcement inviting participation, which might tend to lead to some people feeling excluded, but that’s a minor point.
It’s a committee rather than an association of snuff takers. Anyway, as long as it does its job, the name is irrelevant.
I like the concept by definition, when my 2 years is up I’ll gladly join.
As far as international snuff taking goes - I am half Hungarian, half Welsh, born in England, married a Polish woman, live in Luxembourg, my kids were born here and I take snuff - so I reckon that makes me a fairly international snuff taker B-) oh yeah I almost forgot - I also speak 5 languages which is fairly normal where I live but again it kind of adds to the internationalness (is that a word??) of my snuff taking as I can order it and discuss it with people of other nationalities. 
I don’t care one way or the other about being a member. I’m not in the snuff business in any way. I don’t care about promoting its use or non use. I am happy to read and comment here, on this site. I have learned a great deal from other snuffers, but I liked snuff forty five years ago, still like it and use it. As long as I can purchase snuff, and make my own creations, I will be happy. I agree with the comment by Grouch Marx quoted above. Thats how I feel about it.
I am glad that there is something to promote its use, especially here in America. It would be nice to open up the market here (but then that is a totally self-serving comment) and I’m sure the snuff makers would agree with that sentiment. Making money is always a good thing. And anything that gets people off cigarettes… I tell my girlfriend a variation of Groucho’s quote above: That I don’t trust her judgment. After all, she’s dating me…

MrSnuff owns this forum therefore the ISTA…
But he didnt own the forum when ISTA first started, and as far as i am aware it is independent of mrsnuff.

Anything to do with snuffhouse.org is to promote mrsnuff.com That’s why any detrimental posts are soon ‘snuffed out’, like mine a while ago. You’ll notice when the credit card fraud was going on he claimed it was a ‘virus on our computers’…it sucks mate!
You watch I’ll get banned now lol
@shezzuk1if you have a question ,I am here to address them
@shezzuk1 I’ve been here for 4 years and have never once purchased from mrsnuff.com, nor have I ever been persuaded to… -Kidnapper
He doesn’t own the ISTA and is not involved in it in any way. Owning the site doesn’t mean he owns the ISTA concept; it is not owned by anyone. If he interfered - which he never would - we would move to another platform. Posts are removed by the mods not Dave and they are completely independent - that was agreed before I sold him this site and is still the case.
too put it short and sweet. Snuffhouse is about hanging out with snuffers. The ISTA has a mission. Enjoying snuff even rarely and on occasion makes you good to hang out with as a snuffer. Having a snuff mission requires knowledge experience. That’s all.
And congrates to mr @Basement_shaman
Seems like I have to throw this out every now and then so here goes: Yes, @MrSnuff “owns” Snuffhouse. No, the moderators are not employees of @MrSnuff. Besides communicating through emails (and I think one phone conversation) I have never even met Dave in person; though I’d love to. No, the purpose of the ISTA is not to push Mister Snuff, that wasn’t the intention in 2006/2007 when it was created and that’s not the purpose now. @MrSnuff isn’t even an ISTA member… No, the moderators don’t take directions from Dave. He doesn’t tell us how to run the forum just like we don’t tell him how to run his business. No, @MrSnuff doesn’t pick the moderators. Most of us besides @Lunecat were moderators before Dave even purchased the site. No, not everything to do with Snuffhouse is to push Mister Snuff. Look, the guy pays the bills to keep this site going, so yes if he wants to post about new products or discounts or what-not then yes he is going to do so. If you guys want to dig deep in your pockets and throw some cash at the site then maybe that can change. No, the moderators or staff of the site don’t run the ISTA; there is a committee that runs the thing. I’m not even a member, you know the whole separation of powers idea. If anyone has any other questions about the intimate workings of the site, feel free to PM me.
I think he does it to distract himself from the underside of his bridge.
Simple facts about snuffhouse and Mr.Snuff. The forum hasn’t changed dramatically since before when Dave was just a member and now. Second fact when you run a business selling a product that is obscure and are one of the few merchants of it is a good idea to do anything you can to increase awareness of said product. Or in other words with the lack of people who know snuff or how to use it or much about it when compiled with the lack of competition in the marketing of snuff any thing that increases these awarenesses is going to be good for your business and doesn’t have to be brand specific. Or in other words this conspiracy non-sense is non-sense.
