Title: Who owns this site?
Post by: grabow66 on 10/27/2011 03:12 PM
I have just been curious :confused:  is it one guy sitting at home with some of you guys serving as staff members for fun? Or do you guys have a office with a small staff of administrators? Or is this site owned by a major cigar retailer? I was just.curious. This is the best cigar board I have ever come across.

I believe SeniorPablo operates and maintains the site with a few others assisting in administrator duties.

Cigar Geeks is run from a large office building in an undisclosed location.  At any given time, we have 4,000 to 6,000 staff members, editing reviews, doing IT troubleshooting, and working on CG marketing.

Actually, it is just Paul, running this site as a hobby form home, with the help of Larry, Pete, Les and myself doing what we can to keep things running smoothly.

It's the Illuminati what's behind it. Once you hit 100 posts your mind is gone. You will have an overwhelming desire to buy more cigars. A tin foil beanie will help deflect the rays...but it's not foolproof. Don't you feel like buying some cigars now...hmmm?  :biggrin:

I would say more like 30 posts and you will succumb to the inevitable desire to improve your selection... I figure when I hit 100 posts, I am going to need to buy another humidor! :-)

With a company that size we must do something about all the greed.

:lmao: You guys are too funny!  Yes, the site is mine and I certainly couldn't keep it going without the help from Pete, Jason, Les, and Larry.  It is mostly operated from my leather recliner in my living room.  It started out as a hobby and a lash out with some of my frustrations in dealing with some other sites whose egos left little room or tolerance for fresh blood.  I think we've (collectively the entire CG community) done a good job keeping it fun, open, and checking the poor attitudes at the door.  I have all you folks to thank for making this the place I had dreamed it would be when I put in the effort to build it.

Cheers!

I here by decree, as unofficial Man Of War, that we, as a collective, erect a fence around the building. This will aid in the prevention of "occupiers" , "corporate scam artists", and your "run of the mill flunkies" from penetrating the compound.

I nominate Horrido as Minister of da fence.

Can I get a second?
