We’re Back… ish…
September 28th, 2007 by Alex
By all appearances, you’d think that tFS has dropped off the face of the planet. Luckily for everyone, we know a couple of things you don’t. Like? Well, a good place to start is the fact that new content will be dropping once again.
We’re excited to come back with some positive news. Starting next Wednesday, once a week, we’ll be dropping some recaps, keeping everyone up-to-date on counter-culture news and highlighting anything else that catches our eye.
We’re keeping our mouths shut about what exactly the future holds for tFS, but if you look real close, things may just begin to surface.
It’s been a long time coming, both Tim and I want to thank all of you readers for the constant visits and great comments. Your continued support is a huge factor to the re-emergence of this project. Thank you.
In the meantime, sit tight, you’ll be hearing from us soon.
So without further adieu, we welcome you back to theFreshScent.
theFreshScent’s 1 Year Anniversary
July 21st, 2007 by Tim
Without making any lame references to deja vu, zombies, returning from the dead or any other cliche a writer can throw out there - we’d like to let everyone know the pilot light is on and tFS still has a heartbeat.
It’s feint, it’s slowly building up steam and until the head gasket blows, we’re going to keep a lid on the haps behind the scenes.
We’d also like to point out that today is effectively the 1 year anniversary of tFS. No, we haven’t taken the most common path down the road to a 1 year, but screw it, we want to celebrate anyway.
So, while we go buy some Stone IPA, everyone sit tight and we’ll do our next update when there’s some positives to drop.
Farewell and Goodnight
June 12th, 2007 by Alex
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell that tFS has been stale for the better part of a month. We’ve been experiencing some issues out of the public spotlight that have affected development on this site now, and into the future.
For my part, I can’t devote the same amount of time and resources that I have been spending for the past year. Running a site like this takes complete devotion and it deserves nothing less. That said, Tim is fully dedicated and more than skilled enough to take tFS to the next level.
For now, unfortunately, we’re going to continue to keep the site in its ‘frozen’ state. Either that, or take it down entirely, which I doubt anyone wants. So, thanks goes out to you for all the great comments and contributions. tFS wouldn’t be the destination it is without your support.
We hope when things get a little less complicated we can spend more time building this site into what it really should be.
We’ll try and keep everyone informed on the backend progress and maybe throw out some content that’s been in hibernation.
For any questions or comments, good or bad, please email us and either Tim or I shall get back to you personally or leave your farewells in the comments below.
Thanks again everyone.
+ Alex & Tim
And the Giveaway Winners Are…
March 2nd, 2007 by AlexThe selection process required a supercomputer to calculate for 3 straight days before the winners were finally chosen. And by supercomputer, I mean one hat and a bunch of folded up pieces of paper.
So, without any more delays, the winners are:
- K
- R.A.
- Emily
You’ve all been sent emails right before this announcement was posted, so we expect to hear back from you soon. If for some reason you are unable or do not want to receive the tFS prize package, a random alternate will be chosen.
Thanks to everyone for making this first giveaway so successful. Keep your eyes peeled for our next one coming soon.
theFreshScent + SmokeClear Giveaway!
February 23rd, 2007 by Alex
From time to time, a generous manufacturer will send us a big box full of their goodies. There’s no way that the tFS staff can use all of this stuff, so why not get it out to the people who’ll really appreciate it? You guys.
Today, we’re announcing our first giveaway.
The rules are extremely simple - leave a comment on this post (make sure to include a valid email address) and you’re entered to win. How simple is that?

February 6th, 2007 by AlexWe should have this all figured out by tonight and be back tomorrow morning with some fresh content.
Welcome our New Staff Editor – Ryan
January 30th, 2007 by AlexOne of the driving forces behind this important shift is a guy named Ryan. He’s what I like to call a ‘ganja guru’ and he has now been invited to join theFreshScent team.
So, I’m proud to introduce Ryan as our new staff editor. He will be focusing mainly on medical marijuana reviews and occasionally throwing his two cents in on product reviews too.
He can be contacted by writing to ryan[at]thefreshscent.com or by using our main contact page.
Welcome to the team Ryan!
