Warfish Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 There wouldn't have been a Hampur were it not for the Lounge. Just saying. For years on ji we were told, just put OT: before any off topic threads. We all decided here to have an off topic forum. Then another webmaster liked the idea I guess haha. I can actually speak on that. The Hampur was my idea, when I was still Moderator. And the idea was loathed at first, frankly, a lot of folks were mad at it. But they came round. I can say with surety the idea did not come from JN, and was not generated by Sean. That one was mine. Insert "even a blind squirrel find a nut" line here.

Warfish Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If it's okay with you, I'd like to talk football and avoid the other crap that took JI down the toilet. Please advise if we can exist in a peaceful manner. SAR I You can talk however you like. As for "exist(ing) in a peaceful manner" , we'll see, we'll see how long till the first time you "football talk" and your (usually) weak argument gets smashed to bits, and then you reply with "personal attack! personal attack!" and start PM'ing the Mods (as you did on JI for years) trying to silence other posters opinions, whelp...... So we'll see won't we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert "even a blind squirrel find a nut" line here. I can validate this somewhat as I was there at the beginning of the Hampur as well. Warfish pushed it. I'm sure there was an OT forum or Lounge here before that but the idea of a separate forum for off topic stuff wasn't new or novel, it had been kicked around at JI for a while and I think Sean simply finally relented and let it happen as the main Jets forum was getting cluttered with OT stuff. I will, however, take credit along with WCO for starting to call "The Hangar" by it's more appropriate name, the Hampur. That was us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastOffensive Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Thanks. The whole thing just sounds pretty slimy to me. I'll bet you don't recall reading any privacy policy or terms & conditions on JI that said the website owner has been having ongoing discussions for some 10 years with a company that wants to buy the email list from him. Probably because I suspect that was kept secret from all of you when you typed in your personal info. And then he sold your email addresses and more (since some sign up with their real names & locations), as though you should have expected this was a potential part of the arrangement. I don't fault him for meeting or speaking with them, as who could help but be curious? But I do fault him for not telling you guys (before transferring your information into their marketing database), that this was (or may be) in the works. At least it would have given so many of you a chance to change the information in your user accounts so some total strangers wouldn't have your real, personal info. You didn't sign up there to have your personal info sold to some marketing company behind your backs. You signed up there to talk about your favorite NFL team with some others who felt the same way. And he used you all to get a press pass for himself, banning people purely for badmouthing the team and putting that at risk (as it's been told to me). So he got these special privileges for himself, which is great as a fan, and used you all to get it. Then he used you again to make a buck off your private, personal information. Basically he played you all for fools, mistakenly thinking your private info was safe with him, and none of you deserved that. And IMO that is a fair assessment of what's happened there. Thanks for laying out your POV (facts & opinions); I really appreciate it. I work with database management; demand generation, tools like Marketo and SFDC. I knew what I was getting into. I won't throw Sean under the bus. Business is business. That said, I would never waste my time to try to change your perspective. Going forward, I hope we can use our intellect to discuss football. The new site has a tough row to hoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is it 12 months? Has that been confirmed? That would be smart, two years would be a long time deal that could be hard to come back from. My concern was what happens if you leave, even after 12 months? I don't see Scout giving you those posts back. So you start up the forum a year later on your original URL. That thought scared me. If Scout comes thru on monetizing everything, and Sooth is getting his cut, I don't see him backing out of the deal, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 The Lounge is no Hampur tho. Perhaps we can change that. You were the curmudgeoney puss face that had major issues with how much toilet humor was in the Hampur, and you targeted me as a major reason as to why. It's not lost on me that you probably whined about me to Ham and Sooth, which led to my eventual ban. You owe me an apology! My butt is super hurt.

joebabyny Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Great post. I have busted Sean's balls more than probably anybody over the years. Truth be told if I saw him today I would have no problem shaking his hand. He would probably want to punch me in the face, but that is another story lol. We don't take ourselves too seriously here, I think that is what makes us different. We take running the site very seriously, it is such a passionate group of people that give up their own time to keep JetNation running. Same for the posters, I think most people know you can laugh and have a good time here. The only thing we really hate is personal attacks. We just want people to get along and be respectful; even when they disagree. And you nailed it completely on the community. That is the most important thing. We do appreciate a lot of people giving us a look again. And we hope everyone decides to stay. Thanks. Burger summit tailgate this season??

LOL Don't apologize to me - I was just reading through some of my old threads over there, and saw you giving me sh*t about poo humor in the Dr. Zaius has answers thread. It was just top of mind, I know you had nothing to actually do with me being banned... and frankly, becoming a full-timer over here is the best thing that ever happened to me on the interwebz. Why? Because Crusher, JIF, CTM, Pac, Jetscode1, Slats (even though he hates me), Jetfan80, Bleedin, and so many other wonderful, wonderful people have taught me all about teh mafia goodness, spiderman memes, when to stop being a dick, when never to stop being a dick, and so-on and so-forth...

I'm glad you're happy here Integ, as I say almost every time I come visit over the years, Max deserves a massive amount of respect for what he's built here, and you couldn't be in better hands IMO.
