samildanach Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi all.. was just thinking.. how about having a section solely dedicated to showing people how to do various things? eg: lakemonsters phake phunnel.. how to pack tangiers bowls.. best way to light natural coals etc.. if it has its own section, it would make navigating much easier..especially for newbies.. just thought of the idea when i had to search through the forum to find lakemonsters guide.. but forgot he spelt funnel with a ph..luckily it was only a few pages in.. so what do you think MUshrat?

Tobes Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 sounds like a good idea, of course mushrat will be the one doing the work so it is up to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yashman19 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 QUOTE (Tobes)sounds like a good idea, of course mushrat will be the one doing the work so it is up to him. Doesn't really involve a ton of work, but instead just a few clicks. BUT.. I think this is one of those things we should wait for until the forum gets the big upgrade. With the current setup, we arn't able to make subforums for each section, which is what we'd like to do for the future forum. So the layout would look something like this: General Hookah Discussion - Main forum *Vendor Reviews -sub *Brand Reviews - sub *Trading Section - sub *How-to section - sub *Etc. etc.. - sub General Chit Chat - Main Forum Introductions - Main Forum Serious Discussion - Main Forum Obviously this is just a layout, and not exactly what it will look like, but as for now everything hookah related should just be kept in the general hookah section until the forum gets its upgrade. That is unless people really want a 'how-to' section right now, which of course like I said doesn't take any effort at all. So if people would like it, lets hear some more votes.

NewUrbanist916 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 For someone who is just starting to get serious about hookah (I have spent the last year just kinda doing it with no real regard for packing strategies, heat management, research, etc.), I think this would be very helpful if it is not too much work.

Lakemonster Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'd enjoy it. Wouldnt hurt to dig a few of the old threads up and move em over to give it some roots to grow from. Ya never know, ideas that get bounced around, refined and amalgamated in a How-To forum, might be on your shopping list one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ok no sweat. It honestly wouldn't hurt the forum in any way. If anything, it is simply further organizing this place, which I'm all about. You know me, if there is an off topic post, I'm all on that bitch! Will be done in a few minutes. Then I'll start slowly moving stuff over there thats already present in the general hookah section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Courageous Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 yeah, good idea *nods* I haven't been a member of our forum for long but still to me it is very nice to see our forum growing and gaining new details such as a how to section and a general talk section. Structure and order are good and it makes me enjoy taking part here in our forum even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShishaFred Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Very quick action yash ! I think it's a great addition , especially when newbies are wondering about something . We could place the up-and-coming FAQ I saw going on that section once it's complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samildanach Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thanks Yash.. great to see that i made a positive suggestion and that it has cum to fruition.. and i must say WOW that is super quick... all hail king Yash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Could we please put a "use hookah appropriete coals" in the how to section, that might save us a lot of thread time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 No prob everyone. BUT, I need some help. If anyone has any saved links on some of the great how-to threads such as Scalli's coals, homemade light up rotator base etc that you can link me to, I'll move it over asap. I went through ~10-12 pages before I gave up. We have some good ones in there so thats a start, but I'd love to get all the oldies in there as well. So if anyone has them saved, link me!

angemonkwj Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 if I have any time tonight, I will look thru some of the older pages for you and see what I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 out of curiosity..have we considered the fact that we all "how to" a little differently? I pack tangiers in a regular mya bowl, leave a little space, use a screen, and it works just fine...This is a bit different than the norm... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 lol...Mushys got a point. I suppose that will take a little control, though lord knows im not the one to do it. Otherwise, sounds like a most wonderful idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Well, in a howto forum, people can get several idea. There should be a no bickering rule, just post how you do it, no comments. People can read and try for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuschultz Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Im kind of upset, mostlywith myself... I meant for HookahWiki to become an authority on various hookah related topics, including howtos such as being discussed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I was sort of hoping that all the posts regarding making your own homemade contraptions etc could be posted in there. How to make your own hose, bowl, hookah for example. And if people want to also elaborate on how to pack a bowl, they can do so. If it needs to be trashed, then thats fine. Not like it took a lot of work to setup. Do what you gotta do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 well i think my idea for forum setup would work wonders for what people want XD and yet none of the admins have even commented on it XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 perhpas it should be brought up in the mod/admin section for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
