Lukasa Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Its a pretty excellent web layout, in my opinion. But I think the review of Hookahforum is wrong except for the "SHENANIGANS!!!" part. New people are received pretty well here. In fact, I'm probably the biggest jerk to newbies, and I'm not even a huge jerk at all. I'm just fightin' for the respek us 05's deserve. [LOL] Anyways. ps, thanks Ioannisds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it necessary to flame somebody when they have even a VAGUE affiliation with a company or business? Look at it this way, at least you have some good honest HF members helping to review products for this place. You can trust us to be fair and honest.

I dont think we do just some of our members happen to be owners of websites or brands but were never discriminate[/quote] No no no. I was saying that the users here tend to be kind of hostile towards vendors coming onto our turf (ie, GH, and HH) . Granted the likes of GenuineHookah and HookahHookah( aka hookahgal) were big idiots and conducted themselves as such, it has become the norm for the forum to stamp on people that come here who are not STRICTLY personal shisha enthusiasts, people who own a company, or a retail site, or in this case an e-zine. Some of the hostility is justified (HH, GH, etc) Some of it is not. Edit: Who is the other product reviewer besides me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I dont think there is really hostility toward the vendors that come on. HH and GH are two notable exceptions, with good reason. If a vendor comes on and just starts spewing advertisements, we tell them thanks for coming out and ask them to stay and join us for real conversation, the point of the board. If they choose not to, thats fine. But if a vendor just spews their ads then leaves, it really is a violation of the terms of service for the forum.

Typical "boy who cried wolf" scenario: they come around again, offering freebies for review, and of course there is a healthy dose of scepticism towards their offer. Between this and the completely unprofessional (and at times, flat out false) review they just gave our forum... poop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 yea iaon said it just about right. I feel they just wanted some reviews, and didnt want to really be apart of the forum. I know there just a mag and wanted to give free samples, but still thats advertising. And of course the review of our froums was kinda flat out stupid. Just because we were skeptical about th offer, since it was a new member, we instantly are a useless forum saying just use search, and that theres 2 of us that post replies to others threads? im sorrybut i gotta call shenanigans on that one. And they are an EZINE!! I see no printed magazine. Print= Magazine, Online= E-Zine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthHookah Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i read this guy's review of our site, and i was pissed. he came in, gave a vague offer of free goodies in exchange for reviews (not such a bad idea, i suppose), but then he ignored many people who wanted to help! he ignored the most knowledgable people! he said that new people would just be "pummeled", however when i was new, i was welcomed and now, after many tries at different forums, this one make sme feel like i belong. i was able to contribute constructively, and i even made some friends! he writes as if he was here for years and grew tired of it. wasnt he here for, like, just a bit? what a dick! this guy can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

PersianPride Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hahaha a bad review of the forum thats cute. Asif people are going to go to your website and read the review before coming to the biggest hookah forum on the net wishful thinking darling. On a more mature note this forum is actually very good to newbs which is apparent by the veterans answering the same old beginner questions over and over again. P.S. From the article "I used to enjoy the forum a lot, but it's gotten a little bit out of control." Ummm you only have 6 posts :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
