  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

We need a C-Bid code word

I guess I just don't see the huge need for this. There are only a dozen or so brothers on c-bid and they won't be buying enough to make a big difference on there. Plus, there is so much stuff that goes up on there that if you get beat out, you only have to wait a couple of days to a week before they put the same thing back up. If the price is a good price, someone will bid it p, brother or not. It just seems like ya'll are getting worked up over something that probably hasn't happened yet, and might not happen at all.

I like Tuffy's idea and think it's a good idea. I disagree that people won't catch on when they see repeated people using BOTL in their comment box but that's just me. :crying:

Something to keep in mind...A CWer's account was banned recently from C-Bid because he used "CW" in the comment field. C-Bid's explanation was that CW was a competitor because they had sponsors that sold cigars.

Wow. Good to know man.

I can't wait to see what Eric comes up with because I liked Tuffy's idea too.

If anyone thinks this isn't needed then you don't have to use it. :thumbsup:

BOTL members inadvertantly outbidding eachother and raising the winning bid on one another has happened before, severla times actually. As a matter of fact it happened just last week between Clay and Mike.

Hmmmm, I guess I was wrong. It just seems like there are soooo many good cigars, and so many different deals on them, on the sight that the chances of two guys from this little corner of the cigar world wouldn't run up on each other.
