Topic: Yesterday, I lurked at the Nighthawk Zone

   What the heck is up with that site??  I really believe those "members" are all sock puppets that George Noory had somebody create.  It's complete, unadulterated drivel.  And that "BadBoy" dude.  I guess he feels nobody else has a radio or are total idiots.  It can't be a real site; it just can't be.

For example, somebody posted, and I quote, "Here comes the music (insert funny emoticon)!  Hi, George!"

If anybody knows more about this ridiculous crap fest of a site, I'd love to know more.

[Do you think it was angels?]

Quite interesting how different these 2 sites are. It's like cotton candy over there.

wow... i mean... just... wow.  total douche chills.


the only thing i know about the NHZ is that they are regularly mentioned on-air by george, and they tolerate ZERO deviation from the george worship they engage in.  i don't understand the point of operating a message board where a very narrow range of viewpoints is allowed.  i know some might accuse coastgab of being that same kind of site (just to the opposite extreme), but i don't think that's true.  we do get occasional anti-art messages and pro-noory messages here, and none of those messages are removed.  furthermore, the authors of those types of messages are not shunned or banned altogether as they would be on the NHZ.  that place strikes me as a perfect example of why most message boards (and the people who run them) suck balls.  i like to think this place and the people who hang here are cut from a different cloth entirely.  we're brutal but tolerant.  we're raunchy but intellectual.  this is the only message board i've ever used, and if the whole thing exploded tomorrow, i wouldn't be found anywhere else.  every other message board i've tried (particularly those that focus on c2c) is a steaming cesspool of lowlife internet tough-guys, power intoxicated moderators/administrators, and cliquedom.

it's un-American and downright Stalinesque

[Stevenqbosell]

For me, the whole "thou shall not DARE question Noory nor C2C" shtick is just lame. And I love how George used to say "Bad boy and myself once had problems..." WTF?

[punkinpie]

I don't even care about them trying to be pro-George all the time.  It's all so robotic.  Before I found this message board I went there because of the mentions on the show.  At the time we were planning to go to Roswell, so during the show hours I went in and asked if anyone had been there, if it was worth going, etc.  I pissed off the guy posting all that was being said on the show because I was making off topic posts.  It was so stupid.


If all they're going to do is post word for word what is being said on the show, why have a forum?  Create a blog or something. 


I just don't understand why the heck anyone goes there.  Do you really want to just agree with the other three people posting there?  Why is it so great that it is mentioned on the show repeatedly?  I am missing something or they're all idiots.

Exactly!!! Plus, the writing style is, well, almost "word for word" the same for at least four of them. Supposedly, they have over 3,000 members too    It actually is quite nauseating.

I just wanted to add that I'm still a newbie here, but the atmosphere on this board is really nice; people are respectful to one another and, just, well, nice!  Thank you for making me feel welcome!

we try to make new people feel just as welcome as those who have been here since day one.  that's why we don't even display post counts.

Hi, ShelliesMom.  I was a member there and thought that it must be paid for by George himself.  Just a guess.  If you'll notice, it's always the first in the list of websites that he thanks for being fans of C2C every night.

Most of the people there are very friendly, but as you say, some of their posts sound forced.

As far as BadBoy goes, I think he may be mentally ill, because of what he did to me.  When I first joined, I wanted to ask him (because he was moderator) a few questions, but my ability to PM was disabled.  I thought it must be disabled for everybody.  Wrong.  I soon received a PM from another user, and after I looked at it, I was then able to reply to it, and was able to PM!  I talked to this other user for some time.  During this period, a couple of my posts were edited.  I didn't swear or put anyone down in them.  I did ask why the host did something I found odd.  That was it.  That part of my posts was gone!

Before you know it, more and more of my posts were edited, even though I never insulted anyone, like "Ian stinks" or "Art Bell is an idiot."  I tried to PM BadBoy to ask him why he was editing my posts, but, again, my ability to PM was disabled.  I had replied to a woman who may have had an abduction experience (I was with MUFON at one time), and told her I was going to PM her, and that's when I found out I couldn't PM again (to anyone).  So, I posted my email address and told her she could contact me at my address, then also asked if others were having trouble PMing.  As soon as I looked for a response, I noticed the part of my post that mentioned my inability to PM had been edited out!  So... I posted to BadBoy, asked him to delete my account and asked him if he was mentally ill!      A few people saw it.  The person I had been PMing and I email each other, so he knows at least.

Totally insulted!  NHZ is like a communist country who regulates what their people say.  No free speech at NHZ!

this image is anatomically incorrect.  there should be a sphincter in the middle of george's forehead.  not a hole.  though the two are similar

[Peenman Enterprises]

Supposedly, they have over 3,000 members too    

You know considering the audience numbers the show has and the frequency that George mentions the NHZ, I don't think 3,000 is very impressive at all.

No, it's not...at all.  2,994 signed up, saw it sucked and never went back.

The whole site's under lockdown. Can't even read anything. So random. I think you're right.   

[b_dubb]

the hosting account that is being used for that site might not have the capacity to host a site with LOTS of traffic and activity.  there are bandwidth issues and database capacity.  there are good reasons for shutting off registration.  and if you're having trouble accessing the site ... it may have used up it's bandwidth for the billing cycle.  or been hacked.  or just plain broken.


just sayin ...

[ringthane]

Wasn't George's original night time radio show in STL called the Night Hawk? Or maybe that was his nickname or his 'handle' for his on air persona.


So, I 'get' where fans of his from the original St Louis show would create a board dedicated to Snoory, and were double thrilled when he took over such a prestigious show.


But fan sites that don't allow dissent is creepy and just kinda deflates the value of being a fan in the first place.


As much as I love Art, he has quirks that irritate me and it's fun for like-minded fans to get together in a forum and blow some steam. I'm not into hagiography, but then again I wouldn't expect Noory or his NHZ minions to even understand that.


Speaking of Art criticism... I don't remember precisely when this happened, because Art retired/unretired more than Michael Jordan and Brett Favre combined. I think this was just prior to his second retirement, after he had replaced the terrible Mike Siegel.


I swear, about 4 weeks before Art had announced his second retirement I knew that something was up. He sounded... exhausted. Mentally wiped. He sounded as though he was just phoning it in, on auto-pilot. For that stretch, it seemed like he had Richard C. on every other night and just let that loon rave and ramble so Art didn't have to book guests or conduct interviews, do research or show prep, etc. Within a few weeks of that, Art had announced his 2nd retirement. It was a bad stretch of radio and painful to listen to.


I'm noticing Snoory really dropping the ball during interviews lately, I have to wonder if something is brewing behind the scenes. Or maybe I'm just more keenly aware of his lameness due to hanging out at Coastgab.

I specifically remember that time aswell, the show had very observable change, where, exactly as you said, Art seemed to be exhausted and just seemed to be on auto-pilot. And yeah for a while there it seemed like Dickie C was one WAY TOO OFTEN... in retrospect, it may quite be the downfall of the "classic era" we all listened to and loved so much.

I know BadBoy from Fantastic Forum, he got and banned and NHZ was the result, I actually know his real name, where he lives and his phone number, no I won't give out that information.  I agree he is obsessed with snoory, I tried to join his forum when he first put it up and because he knew that I have never listened to snoory and agreed with all the bashing on FF at one time he wouldn't let me join, I had a good laugh over that as I didn't really want to be a member.  He is a Hollywood wanna be and would do anything to get mentioned on Coast and would brag ad nauseam when he did get mentioned.  I will say one good thing about him, he was a huge Art Bell fan and used to send me shows all the time back in the day and I know he didn't want Art to retire and he did not like snoory in the beginning, he probably still doesn't but is hanging on just in case snoory gives him a job or connects him with the Hollywood powers that be. Kissing butt hasn't worked so far.

do you possess knowledge with regard to his psychological well being?

I'm with you, ringthane.

I remember George saying he was known as the night hawk at one time.

Art irritates me more than George does.  BTW, I was very impressed by your using the word 'hagiography (saint worship).'  I learned me a new word!   lol

The number of times Art has retired makes him look like a paranoid old geezer.

People calling George 'Snoory' wakes me up to the fact that he really doesn't seem to be interested in many of his guests.  He also doesn't seem to know much about what his guests do sometimes (doesn't do his homework), but part of that may be because they add guests at the last minute.  In order to prevent this, they should determine guests a week in advance, and if no one is signed up, go with open lines.  That will save George from looking so ill-prepared. 

As for you noticing George dropping the ball lately, I agree he's gotten worse.  He used to know more about the guests before and at least had some valid questions to ask them.  Nowadays, he's phoning it in, so to speak.

Is there something up at C2C?  I think so, yes.
