Brandon` Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Well I recently received a email about a new Hookah Forum, Don't want to discuss it to much because it's against the rules, I'm probaly going to far just telling you guys about it but it seems NOB Is the owner/creator of that forum. Thats right, Our Beloved Nights Of Baghdad has left us and made his own forum, of course the first thing I see when I go there is Hookah John as advertisements.. Still wont leave HookahForum for any other forum. Thought I would let you guys know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladimir Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I would have no problem being a member of multiple forums- but that forum is an obvious and complete ripoff of this. Just read the rules and it is obvious the goal is to just be Hookah Forum 2.0- but why fix something that isn't broken? No thanks... seems like some internet immaturity I don't want to participate in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatonethere Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 So [i]that's[/i] what the e-mail was about. I wondered who that was who sent me that. I guess I'm glad I didn't look at it. I wonder what prompted him to try to steal this forum and create his own.[img]http://www.hookahforum.com/public/style_emoticons/default/scratch_one-s_head.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Your received an e-mail tellign you about his new forum, which btw he didn't create, merely helps run, through this forum or did he alreadu have your address? I am going to be very displeased if people were spammed about the other forum using THIS forum as a platform. I have had words with the owner of the other forum and he had NOB change the way the rules were written, not entirely to my satisfaction but I'm going to mention it again today. And yes, their banned vendor is a copy of ours and the use of NHT and a bunch of other things. As to why he left? He left because you (and you know who you is) decided to pretty much ride his ass about enough things that he got tired of the shit and left. Keep that in mind folks.

Chreees Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I never got an email... Well, I did, from NOB, but it was in a response to me trying to get him to come back to HF... I had sent him a few emails asking him to come back and telling him how much everyone on here missed him, and he replied back something like "Hey man thanks for the emails, but I'm gonna stay away from HF for a while. Here's my new forum blah blah blah... go check it out. Just make sure to not post it on HF, they don't like talk of other forums." I went and checked it out, saw what it was all about, noticed the straight copying/pasting of the rules, banned vendors and such directly from Mush, posted a few sarcastic posts here and there, and haven't been on there since. Probably going to delete my account on there. It looks like it's going to be another forum all about the drama eventually (it was supposedly created to escape Neal's wrath, if you do some research on youtube, look up THK's vids). I still liked NOB, up until he came onto HF Chat just to ask for the link to Tinychat, then left. That left me feeling used. He came onto the Tinychat just to complain about HF and talk about his new forum. I asked him about the copying/pasting of the rules/banned vendors, and also why he created the same threads on his new forum as he created on HF here. He ignored the first part and answered the second part with "They're my threads, I can post them wherever." Well, that's fine, he's right. But it shows me that he's just trying to make his new forum exactly like HF, all of his threads included. I wasn't going to tell everyone all this, but I decided to anyway because I'm tired of seeing all of the "I want Tony back!" status updates on the homepage. He left HF because he doesn't have a thick enough skin (although I think everyone could've slimmed down on the jokes) and tried taking HF rules and everything with him, which is wrong against Mush. I no longer have any desire to have him back now. He's been banned anyway for taking Mush's stuff... I love HF. It's like my home. Every other forum just doesn't feel right. I love how this place avoids the drama and doesn't even allow such asshatery. HF FOR LIFE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 About the emails... I don't see how all of you guys' email addresses were retrieved like that. I didn't get one from the forum. NOB certainly didn't have privileges to access email address records of members on here; I'm sure only mods or the admins can do that. Perhaps a vendor? I don't know...

Arcane Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 what i find kinda disappointing (and somewhat sad) is that he left because people were making fun of him or giving him shit. really?! like other people said, grow thicker skin or imo, take it in jest and find something to poke fun at other people...if anything, it brings humor to the place... that's just me...don't really care either way, but he's not coming back for sure now...

Brandon` Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have a feeling that i'm about 95% sure on that HookahJohn gave him his mailing list. They are very close so I wouldn't doubt it. Anyone get a email that wasnt on Hj's mailing list? I'm trying not to point fingers but thats the only thing I can think of because they were so close and NOB loved John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
