FWIW, Before the other snus forum I only had the german language one at http://snus-forum.de/ . I still go there and make do with my limited german (I can read it better than write it and speaking it becomes much easier with every drink.
I like their "snus database" of sorts. You know, in typical german dot-the-i's and cross-your-t's fashion they make a topic for every snus and reply in it with your findings.
Luckily they understand english well enough.

It is interesting that buysnus has updated their home web page (with new expansion of items for sale, no doubt to compete with Northerner's wide variety of tobacco related items), and yet, the link to the Snus Forum is still at the bottom of the page; makes me wonder if that forum will be coming back online soon.

Well, there has been a change for this link,
http://www.snusforum.com/
that "The Snus forum has been closed". Plus a couple of advertising headers banners are there, which were there before.

What's going on here? Neither northerner.com or buysnus.com webpages are functioning properly. This is so weird.

Don't know what is going on with Northerner, except the same thing happen several weeks ago, and within a couple of days or so, it was back online.

It looks like the buysnus web pages are back to functioning properly.
mwood72 - yea, I am with you concerning Northerner. I was not aware that they have relocated, Perhaps that explains the problems people have gotten out of them in the past several weeks, which did not occur so much earlier.

know swedish laws on tobacco advertisement can be very strict and hence they got a notice from the Big Guy to take it down?
Take for example www.generalsnus.com and www.ettansnus.com ?

I just got an email from smokeless.de, seems they have had to close their forum too. Here is a bad google translation of the german text:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello love Snusgemeinde! I white unfortunately not whether it a Fake is or not. Today I got a letter, in which I am pointed out that I refer with my forum to a tobacco product and operate thus advertisement. Therefore I am to have deleted the forum up to 16.12.06 12 o'clock the forum. This should will not happen a fine from 7.000euro raised. Unfortunately I do not know myself with the legal one situation at all out. If this should come a Fake of a user from the forum, then that has consequences. Unfortunately I must go to this call first times on the reason. So long I must unfortunately close the forum. If there is somewhat new, I give answer. Wrong does to me.
And the original german:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hallo Liebe Snusgemeinde!
Ich weiß leider nicht ob es ein Fake ist oder nicht.
Heute habe ich einen Brief bekommen, in dem ich darauf hingewiesen werde, dass ich mit meinem Forum auf ein Tabakprodukt hinweise und somit Werbung betreibe. Darum soll ich das Forum bis zum 16.12.06 12 Uhr das Forum gelöscht haben. Sollte dies nicht passieren wird eine Geldstrafe von 7.000euro erhoben.
Leider kenne ich mich mit der Rechtlichen lage überhaupt nicht aus. Falls dies ein Fake von einem User aus dem Forum kommen sollte, dann hat das konsequenzen.
Leider muss ich diesem aufruf erstmal auf den Grund gehen. Solange muss ich das Forum leider schließen.
Falls es etwas neues gibt, gebe ich bescheid.
Tut mir leid.

Seems someone was playing a nasty joke on the webmaster:
Tach Snusers! I am so stink sour which I actually no desire have the forum again to be opened. But why the others are to suffer from it. I was on the legs over to find out all day long whether that a serious letter was. This alleged lawyer called and this knew from nothing. And its knowledge can I further the forum open keep. The lawyer will go to this “joke cookie” to the collar. From my side I introduced police steps. If again someone wants to make such a joke, then it is to make at the 1.April or forewarn me. The forum is again open. Welcome bake! Uwe
Tach Snusers! Ich bin so stinkesauer das ich eigentlich gar keine Lust habe das Forum wieder zu öffnen. Aber warum sollen die anderen darunter leiden. Ich war den ganzen Tag auf den Beinen um herauszufinden ob das ein ernstes Schreiben war. Habe diesen angeblichen Anwalt angerufen und dieser wusste von nichts. Und seines wissens kann ich weiterhin das Forum offen halten. Der Anwalt wird diesem "Scherzkeks" an den kragen gehen. Von meiner Seite aus habe ich Polizeiliche Schritte eingeleitet. Falls wieder jemand einen solchen Scherz machen will, dann soll er denn am 1.April machen oder mich vorwarnen. Das Forum ist wieder offen. Welcome Back! Uwe

Back Online for Viewing Only
The Forums are opened back up, however, the snusforum is closed for new postings but it you can read all prior postings about Swedish snus. Some postings have been removed thus they can therefore open the site for viewing. At least you can check to see if you missed any posts before it had closed in November 2006.

starwing, great links. Harm reduction, not a black white issue ha, shades of grey.
Sorry, I no this is off topic, but.......
So many people have the belief that smokeless is as dangerous, if not more than cigarettes. Common sense tells ya if ya burn something, inhale it, can't be good for ya.
