mushrat Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 lets not. We have far more to lose than they do. lets just let them do their thing and they will let us do ours. They haven't been here advertising thir site, i just happened to stumbple on it. They aren't bothering us so lets keep it that way eh? We do NOT need another FORUM war....trust me.

Lakemonster Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 (edited) Ugggghhhhh.....The competative, paranoid and condesending nature some folks have here is really pathetic.If another board does succeed, its an indicator that hookah growth is for real...... promoting hookah is essential to the growth of the hookah market. Growth is beneficial in the way of pricing for the consumer.Anyway..... it's neat to think that this would be the one and only hookah forum.. probably as much as SacredNarguile.com might think its neat enough to be the only set published hookah knowledge site. But no one got pissed off when others popped up.With that said, I am not the founder. or an admin. or even a member..... but I intend to sign up.People have "knocked off" my site in the past, and I mean forum for forum.. name for name (forum names) You can either get pissed.. or you can take it as flattery and realize that your own cause is furthered by someone elses efforts.The subject of hookah is not proprietary to HF.com.... just think about it. Why get worked up?my .02 Edited December 26, 2006 by Lakemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvansLight Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Its the internet, as long as something has even a small following, theres going to be more than 1 site out there for it. Its not the first, certainly not the last. Us staying the big guys is down to keeping things around here working as good as they can, and keeping up with latest trends, forum software, and all that. Which im happy to say we are There not copying our discount codes, and they for the most part are doing there own thing, so i say let em. If they eventually beat us that just lets us know we did somethin wrong XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASUSEAN1 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Whats this all about? This guy is wack.I have recently been informed by one of our affiliates who frequents another, similar board to ours, that it is believed that we are a "rip-off" of this other community.QUOTEI have looked into this, and by reviewing cached google snapshots of this other community, we actually purchased our Invision Power Board License mothes prior, a testament to our originality. Our theme was built by me, with only my imagination as a template. We definately have no intentions on taking other board's ideas. I do believe our missions are similar, and hope that our co-existance will benifit the re-emerging hookah culture.--------------------~Prince ZaganJust imagine if Microsoft made cars...."Your brakes have performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."

EvansLight Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 yea ive joined up over there, made one post, probably all ill make XD As i said there, im suprised theres so few hookah forums floating around. Now if only we could get ahold of hookahforum.info, hookahforum.org, hookahforums.com, hookahforums.info, and hookahforums.net, and redirect em all there, i think we would get a slight edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholae Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 i dont see what the big deal is. as long as the internet exists there will always be more than one page for the info your looking for. people look for different things when they wish to join something. we cater to some and they cater to others. this is how it will always be.

Macho555 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I find it nice that for once a second serious forum popped up, and actually didn't take incredible offense at reading what we had to say, which says a bit. I'm not gonig to sign up, because I'm not really a multi-forum kinda guy, but I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 meh, the 2nd forum isn't really worth getting into... but whatever... at least hookah popularity is rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
