What could possibly go wrong?

LOL you figure Kretek is going to redact anything bad we say about anything they distribute? It looks a little conflict-of-interesty but I just can't see them bothering. I think it WILL be an advertising platform for them, so I'd expect to see a lot more of certain products in pop up ads and banners etc. But I think overall it's a good thing to keep TR going, it's a good community resource.

Nah, I doubt they'd do anything like that, but I'd bet the feel will change. Who knows, maybe for the better?
Maybe they can get rid of the reviews from people that clearly never smoked the tobacco.

Interesting ... well, as long as the content on the website is created by users, I guess it matters less who owns it.

I've had content redacted. I don't think Kretek is supporting the website because they want to be good shepherds to our community. Expect their decision to have profit-driven implications.
