What exactly was a hoax? The document pasted was rather detailed and, while somewhat overblown, was obviously written by someone who knew what they were talking about. It contains a lot of criticism of design decisions by MongoDB; these are pretty common and being opinion, can't really be called a hoax.
There's also a couple of anecdotes of MongoDB supposedly failing in various ways in the author's experience. Are you saying those were fake?
Just because you submitted the document here does not mean you wrote it. Pastebin logs the document as being submitted on 5th Nov. http://pastebin.com/FD3xe6Jt
I don't buy it. I don't think nmongo wrote the doc on pastebin. Maybe I'm overrating my character-detection abilities, but it didn't smell like it was written by some immature time-wasting kid.
edit: I use mongo in prod; very much a student of the "right tool for the job" school. Not trying to add or subtract weight from the original text; ambivalence reigns supreme regarding internet nosql battles. Just saying that my possibly unreliable circuits detect quite a gulf between the original document and the OP's hysterical, caps-lock-engaged cry for attention here.
This admission has my "spider-sense" tingling also. The communication style between this guy and the author of the pastebin log seems so different.
It is plausible that someone guessed the password of nmongo's throwaway account, quickly changed that password, and then started posting the whole thing was a hoax.
