who are the pro noory sites?  the only one i knew of was the night hawk zone, but i thought that was taken down for whatever reason.
NHZ was another register-to-read site. At the end, as was explained by a former member, a difference of opinion arose between the owner and some of the posters about content; Apparently the owner wanted to discuss the issues raised on-air (and echoed the statements made by guests in his posts for godzakes) while the regulars wanted to chat about other things during the show. Eventually the regulars got fed up (about 30 of them) and left en masse before having a new board set up. NHZ was closed suddenly, and an attempt was made to provide a haven for the newly-displaced by 2 women from the old  forum. Then new forum was hurredly announced but it had so many glitches and a few negative posts that it, too ,went down. Not worth the aggravation censoring the posts everyday by the mods. Some of the refugees were invited (and came to) Into Infinity.
Now, as to being a Noory fansite, it isn't. The policy there is No Flaming, and No Partisan Politics which makes the place more conversational with fewer bumps - except those provided by GN's impulsive, public  ejaculations - but they're generally Noory-tolerant over there for the sake of avoiding repetitive observations, I suppose.
After all, if the guests provide interesting insights from time to time, isn't that all that today's Coast listeners, assorted vampires, and sleep-deprived insomniacs can hope for?

For the sake of discussion I will concede noory is a nice guy (I really do not think so). His rapport is congenial and he rarely is snide (well I haven't listened in a few years so this is conjecture).
there is probably a big difference between how noory tries to act on the air compared to in private.
many have reported about his actions detailed in his book Worker in the Light - hardly those of a "nice guy"  :o

its obvious at FF2 they just don't like what coastgab posters say about norry.
of course they won't admit that, but the actions of FF2 tells it all.
not allowing guest viewing of their threads and being a noory-loving site with friday night c2c shoutouts.
it all just shows how exclusive that group at FF2 is.

coastgab however doesn't use those tactics and is inclusive to all - much better and a bigger membership and activity because of it.
no need for any help from noory and his onair friday night shoutouts either.  ;D
She did tell me they have an official policy of no negative comments about Bell or Noory and that it is because they want to be promoted on the show. Idunno. Being promoted on the show just doesn't seem too valuabe to me if speech must be abridged in order to make it happen. Oh well. Different people run things differently... and users can decide what appeals to them.

yep, they sold their soul to the devil noory for free onair shoutouts.
but with guests visiting there, they can't see anything. so most guests will probably leave and never return. kinda dumb.
visitors will get clued its a private, exclusive, closed club there, unlike here.  :D
