jonny_lech Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You know, if you go out and do research in a lot of 'hobby' communities, (especially video games), big names hire marketing companies to go create shill accounts: users who go on forums and build up trust over time through posting history. And then when they need a bomb dropped, they make the call and the shill advocates X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 :oops: :roll: :mrgreen: Look at HookahHub, look at Social Smoke, look at HookahCompany...all respectful, honest, open operators. Hookah Kings/Shisha-Hookah even MORE so...they don't even let people know that this forum is paid for by them...without adverstising...pretty fucking good. Lets remember, although HookahKings provides this forum to us for free, without advertising, I think its reasonable that we prevent other companies from advertising on HookahKings space they paid for, whereas the interlopers haven't contributed one dime or one idea. Just because its free doesn't mean its public domain...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Ok, as far as I'm concerned this is the end of this one. The Bosses (the registration says sales manager I believe) have looked into it and then stood up, taken responsibility, and explained the situation. They have appologised, and as has been said before, they DO come well spoken of by real members. Unlike a number of other vendors we've delt with in similar situations, they have done, in my opinion, the right thing. I have shifted their letter to the forum to a new thread and will be locking down this one so it will eventually drop away. Everyone deserves a second chance if they are willing to admit they messed up the first time.... So, without further rambleings...Thanks and Welcome to the forum.
