The mighty have fallen?

[EvansLight]

Wow... no more need be said XD

[worr lord]

He's awesome... Like if Maddox were a smoker

[Macho555]

What? I'm confused. Is that meant to be some cryptic message? "How could have I forgotten about the victims" o_o;

[[LB]]

ha! we win.

[skiracerj1]

This most recent "issue" is an absolute joke, theres nothin specifically pertaining to hookah, and its articles are incredibly inappropriate, even if the facts they cited are true, which i have my doubts about that. Smoking should never be presented as a safe thing to do, period. Luckily I think only about 15 people, max, are ever gonna read that sh*t

[Sonthert]

Unless there's someone to annoy and bitch at you, it loses all of its interest. When we closed up and ignored them, they decided to skip to the next group to annoy.

Also, Conspiracy Theory: Could there be a causal connection between hoookahforum.net folding and Clash of Culture changing away from HF.com bashing? Were the people in the background bankrolling Clash of Culture?? Ah yes, unsubstantiated but, oh well.

[mushrat]

ya, well..you aren't the only one with a suspicious mind...

[Sonthert]

Suspicious or brillant? Some would say one and the same. :mrgreen: :?: :?

[EvansLight]

I say we buy both domains the second they expire and point em both here

[mushrat]

Well, Ekite shares an office or sone such with the Mag. guys..he may know more.

Didn't he also say that he was gonna stay out of the middle of this?

[EvansLight]

Yea he did, he wanted to stay out of it and i understand, didnt want to get mixed up in all this. But its more or less over now, that mag has burried itself.

[Sonthert]

I think its much easier to assume the worst. Unless Culture Clash denies it, we'll just assume we're right.

[Macho555]

I had always assumed that to begin with. I still don't understand the site though. I must be missing something. Are they fighting for cancer prevention now?? o_o;

I wanted to give everyone an update on the "mag".

As you know, we shared an office with the "mag" for its brief time among us. We were separate entities but they essentially relied on us and our equipment, space etc. to get by since it wasn't a big income producer.

After a couple of weeks of complete shat, failure to communicate with their audience, missed deadlines, etc., I basically told them that if they were going to continue they were going to have to find somebody else's stuff to use. That doesn't look probable.

In addition, we bought them their domain as a donation in the beginning because we thought that a hookah mag would be a good idea and could really contribute to the community. So technically we own clashofculture.com.

Long story short, instead of leaving that crap up there I decided to just post some of my humorous musings and socio-political ideas. Just for fun.

Read it if you want, ridicule it, I don't really care. The humor is based on its rudementary offensiveness (i.e. Maddox) so if that's not your thing, sorry.

My apologies for the long post, I'll be happy to answer any questions here but cut me a little slack in the timeliness department.

[mushrat]

And there you have it...

Thanks for the update Elite, may your holiday sales go briskly.

Yeah... looks like you'll be waiting a while. I bet they plan on renewing it too.

I guess JD still reads the boards...

[Macho555]

That's a little funny. I guess they still feel the need to poke fun at us. Maybe daresay it will become a legitimate forum?

[web250]

I hope they're done for.

I'm a little curious, previously, you said you had no connection with them, except sharing an office...now you "Owned them"? Is there anything else you wish to disclose? If you F-ed up, I understand, but I think its best to come all the way clean.
