theotherone31415 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Im sure we've all noticed all the goings-on around here recently. what the hell is going on? why the changes, why the attacks and RIDICULOUS amounts of bannings (most of which are understandable of course). My main thing is, i just looked at the vendors area...there's like no one there and most of the vendors i've never even heard of or just weren't that great it seems. So im wondering who benefits from all this? I don't feel like im winning by a decreased amount of EDIT vendors. i don't think most people on the forum are winning. so why's it gotta be like that? the rules are what they are im not arguing against that. what i am saying is, who do the rules benefit? why SHOULDN'T a vendor get a page here no matter how much they post? if they don't post then people won't care about em...it's not THAT great an ad place. it's not google for god's sake. the vendors who post and are active see the benefit of that without any meddling by outside actors (e.g. neal and mnh). the weirdest thing, the damn OWNER of this site doesn't have a vendor thread? what the hell is that about? i say, let the vendors have their space and post however much they want. they can only contribute by posting more right? i don't see vendors coming in here and gloating about how they're 17 and can smoke legally...i dunno, all this seems like too much fuss about something that i just don't understand. maybe im missing something? does it cost extra if the vendors were allowed to post as much as they wanted? are they a burden in some other way? are they not good contributors to the hookah conversation by their meer presence here?

Scoop Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i swear, it feels like an endless cycle of the same thing. didn't this happen a year ago? just let it all happen, otherwise youre gonna be banned too. just go with the flow. they make the rules, you wont change them by arguing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums13182 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Well, all I have to say is this. It seems to me that you are taking this wayyy to seriously and need a chill pill. At the base of this all, hookah, in all its forms, is about chill. And you do not have that. Dont worry about the vendors. They get their hits and are, am sure, pretty happy about the amount of customers they get DAILY. Relax, Smoke a nice bowl of your favorite flavor and think happy thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax, Smoke a nice bowl of your favorite flavor and think happy thoughts that's exactly it dude. all this stuff going on makes it that much harder to do just that. all the times i've tried to ask about a vendor or a place to buy some kickass hookah stuff and BAM! that vendor is banned, can't talk about it. i want good service and a competitive atmosphere where people can compete for my business, so the more vendors, the better for me. you must know how annoying it is to see all this going on, taking up so many new threads (i get the irony; it sucked me in). but it seems i came off more upset than i am. im not that upset. i buy from hookah-shisha and hookahcompany mainly anyway and they've never been here when i was a member. i just don't like defending rules because they're just rules and not questioning their purpose. not gonna be a sheep.
