Matto Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Yeah.. IMO you can find contests anywhere. I chose to become a member of this forum above all the other hookah ones out there because of the quality of the information found here. There are generally non-biased posts and very informed members here. I'm not saying that contests would spoil that, but they may encourage people to come here for the wrong reasons. The Hookah Forum is not a place of business, we don't need more traffic because we're not trying to make money here. We want to inform people, help people, and have fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleman Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I definately agree i was really new to smoking hookah and these forum members taught me everything i know i think attracting attention through contests would be a bad idea. but i would also like to say from one kinda new person to a new person welcome to this great forum.

Travis Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 You ever notice how there aren't any advertisements on this forum? <---I like that. Not even the owners of this forum advertise they're company on they're OWN forum. My opinion; If we start holding contests, then vendors aren't going to hand shit out for free. They're going to want some ad space. This place is the only forum that i know of, that hasn't been whored out to vendors to promote themselves. Contests are fine, but this place has been going a lot longer than the other forums without them. I vote No Id rather have a fewer number of people around that are generally here because they want to be, rather than have xxx number of new members each days, just to jump on the contest bandwagon.

r1v3th3ad Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 it is generally not wanted of contests with vendors because it shows favoritism(from what I remember) however, I have seen regulars of the forum sponsor contests on the forum with no ill effect (i.e. guess how many coals I have and I'll give you 250g of nakhla) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 i dont think it is a good idea. why ruin the good thing we have going? i feel like contests are just going to pull in new members soling searching for the chance to win a contest, not learn about the wonderful world of hookah. im not against new members, but i just don't think it would be a good idea.

Tyler Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 No contests. I hate other forums that do shit like "have x amount of posts" or crap like that, it just increases the spam and fluff over actual information. If I wanted to read a bunch of nonesense I'd go to those other forums....or the off topic sections of this forum. If a giveaway isn't winnable by all members at the same time (not just 1-5 or so winners) then it doesn't belong at Hookah Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
