How they got these jobs, who knows? But their employee-driven content had a chance to drive that site if it was done well. Basically, they took a good opportunity and a good readership base and destroyed it because the content they provided was shit.

The best content on that site was provided by the posters in the forums, which is why they're charging for it. They understand their content isn't being read. What is? The forum. Charge for it.

Here's a better idea: Charge for the stories posted by employees, but hire god writers and editors to run both Ohio High and that website and the business would turn around some. If you give people shit for content, they won't give a shit about reading it.

Great post. Just don't post something like that on the old Huddle, or you'll be gonged.

This is by far the best entertainment I've had since.....well...the lingerie battle. lol

Apparently I should edit my forum posts. Good, in fact, has 2 o's. Well played gorocks.

Point's the same. They fucked themselves when they put people who can't write See Spot Run in charge of providing paid content.

I've had three messages deleted, one in which I said Comrade Stalin would be proud of their message board, and am still not banned.

Eaglesdude just started a very interesting thread over there. If you still have access, check it out.

Man I got the gong a hulluva lot quicker than some of you guys. Hopefully though some of the nOObs on here now are because of my nosefirst kamikaze yesterday.

Classic Huddler - 11-09-2009, 04:18 PM

We have seen and understand your complaint about our new premium forums plan. We’re prepared to offer you an alternative: One Year of Free Membership to our Premium Forums that will expire on November 12, 2010.

We ask that you treat this as personal and private information: it represents an exchange of one year of premium membership for the one-time membership fee you paid at least 5 years ago.

Fact is we already have made significant improvements in JJHuddle since the time you paid the one-time fee. And there are many more that we have plans to make. None of these are free to make. Nor does the staff that makes this all possible work for free. This is the only reason why we have elected to introduce this new Premium Membership plan and we sincerely hope you’ll be with us.

If this offer seems reasonable, please email us at [email protected] and we look forward to continuing to serve you for years to come.


Formerly known as jjhuddlestaff



So where is this free year? I contacted the email address provided. This constitutes a valid offer, to which I have not received response. I have forwarded a complaint to the BBB and the Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray. I have screen shots of this PM as well as of the email. It would be in Bucknuts best interest to contact me regarding this matter immediately.

its possible to change this world
revolutionize the boys and girls
its possible to educate the next generation

Why in the hell would I look at their content which reads like it was written by 9th graders in an intro to journalism class?

Oh great get on this thread btw. We all bought it hook, line and sinker.

That didn't last long.

i'm going out now.

free huddle.com on as many threads as i can.

Already deleted eagledude's thread.

It's gone. Your ban will here soon.

Ya know...occassionaly I would make a mistake in putting jjhuddle into the search engine on my computer. I would only put in one J instead of two.

It brings you to another site called jhuddle.com Believe it is photography...cannot remember. Wonder if they want to sue them as well as that sites name is almost identical to their own.


Funny lil story....friend owned a bar for 10+ years. the name started with Mc. He got a letter from McDonalds corporation about the Mc and that they must change it or will be sued. They pretty much blew it off and never was heard from again. They think that Mcdonalds assumed they would be scared and change the name. they never did...

Welcome to the banned side. Feels pretty good, don't it?

lol j_crazy. Good job!

actually i was posting all kinds of sick pron the other day and got banned a bunch, just did it low key.

i was planning on keeping my name and posting on bleacher seats, but it sucks so bad that i couldn't stand for that travesty and had to end it.

also that was the first time (other than when i was posting porn) that i was given a reason as to why i was banned.

^ I thought you were trying to help your bet for 1000 members.

Wow I am offline for a few hours and that douche had the balls to come over and post that shit!! Wow, not going back to jj for anything, this is where is at now!! In all honestly I thought I was going to be lost without jjhuddle when I made my decision not to pay, since Justin made this board I am not skipping a beat!

Tough shit jj.........................If you are charging to pay the writers for the articles and extra content charge for that access only. I don't think I ever read a article on there I was impressed with, it was always about the forums for me. They made their bed, now they get to lie in it.
