smokehookah Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hi all,A few members from here and I have moved on to start a new hookah community over at [url="http://www.smokehookah.net"]http://www.smokehookah.net[/url], we still will be posting here on our original account names, just off to new things. We are always looking for help and members to make the community grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thats cool..good luck to you and all...but... This one is working pretty good so I figure why answer the same questions in 3 different places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold493 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I kinda agree, Hookah seems kinda like a niche community why not stick with what works. I admit this site could do with some more maitaining and with a devoted webmaster a ton more could be accomplished here with all the people that frequent the forums and all the knowledge compiled but until then I think we need unity. However having said that I support you in yuor effort, and commend you on your work, the site looks nice. However it is kinda more of the same from here. I think what we actually need and what would actually attract people to a new site was some kind of maintained database and news, reviews, brands, links, basically an organization of the ridiculous amount of knowledge on this forum. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 ...you'll probably need to find members from other places, because the majority of this memberbase will stay here. Trust me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 ya...thanks for telling us that...im not going to repeat anything anyone else has said, so im just going to ask why you have to come here and tell everyone to go there? o thats right, because everyone is here and happy.

smokehookah Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Well actually all of at smokehookah were very happy with this site but, we just find it a little slow and wanted something better. As far as the database goes with brands, reviews, ect, chris is actually coding the back end to that and has been excited about that for a while now. I just was here to give everyone the option of another community. Little information doesn't hurt now does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 it's a dilution of information only, now im not saying it cant work out, change is always good, but the people have to want change, most people dont change just because they can. i think your idea of this place being....slow is it? i dont if you are talking information wise(makes no sense, this place is #1 in that) or just the website loading speed(ok, needs some help sometimes i guess) i just think it could have been handled better, by maybe asking adrock to make some changes or recommending some changes to everyone as a whole. meanwhile you just running off with 2 other people and talking on a forum is harmless but it also benefits no one.

smokehookah Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 My whole goal is to create a dedicated community to hookah, not to flame wars and other BS that generally goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 so u want people to have opinions but just not conflicting ones? theres a reason it generally goes on, because thats how the world goes around. because right when ur starting to get all your stuff together and your website looks nice, some guys gunna come in there and tell everyone to come to his newer, better site. either way, go there and do it already. see ya in a week.

surfpico Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Everyone is so touchy.Touchy, touchy, touchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokehookah Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 dikydavePretty sure you are taking the whole post the wrong way, maybe the majority of you are. Just because Ford came out with the first automobile doesn't mean everyone has to drive that same car. There are many options in the world and I was trying to open you guys up to a new one. Sure some of you maybe happy here, and others may want something different in a community. I'm not saying join mine because its way better, it has no where near the member base at this one. I'm just saying drop by check it out maybe you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 bleh, we're not talking about selling* cars, we're talking about sharing* information, which are two totally different things. again, you're just diluting information, giving the appearance you are creating more when in actuality you are just watering down old information. either way, i dont really care anymore, i only cared about the blatant disrespect you showed by coming on here to just push your site, which im not fresh with the rules, but used to not be allowed. now go away, go argue to yourself about stuff on your site.

smokehookah Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 DaveI respect your opinion but I fail to see your point. Freedom and choice are 2 principles that exist with everything. Now here is a question for you what is your favorite brand of tobacco? Or how many hoses do you prefer to your hookah to have? See by having multihose hookahs and multiple brands of tobacco you are not diluting the tobacco market you are offering choice. The internet is a free-market, having the choice of which website you chose to post on is up to you. When you google "ford mustang forums" you get a ton a ton of forums all with lots of members. When you do that for hookah you get maybe 1 or 2 forums with a decent amount of members and thats all you get. I think a fair amount of people in the world would enjoy talking about their hookah experiences, their is either A not a forum that they like available yet. Or B they don't know about any forums. I am simply trying to inform everyone here that there is just another forum, thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 [quote name='smokehookah']DaveI respect your opinion but I fail to see your point. [/quote]that's clear or you would have left and let this die the last two times i mentioned it. now either contribute or lurk, but dont come on here telling people to go somewhere else mr. Ford, there is nothing else to say about this topic, good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 ok..we get the idea..there is yet another forum. Quit trying to justify it and go play in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I think its great that you have another hookah forum, I poked around there for awhile to see what it was all about. I respect that you haven't gone mondo jerk-water the way other forums did and end up starting flame-outs.I think what Diky Dave is trying to say, and many of us are very sensitive to it, you have 5 posts, all of them being about your forum. If your original point is as stated, then I would guess you would have posted alot more here on different topics. Its not easy to really spend all this time posting on several different forums...it takes alot of time and most of the time, peope who might be the "mechanics" and the "brains" don't want to post the same things over and over again. Ultimately, your point is a predatory one. We are not really a forum here, as much as we are a community and a family. Others might disagree with me, but that's how I feel.I might stop by your website, but I am pretty sure I will be here as long as the people here will have me and tolerate me. I do wish you good luck, I know how hard it is to start an endeavor like this and I for one think it is admirable even though others might disagree with me (again).
