What just happened?
It seems that gdeal has been banished for being an "unregistered supplier".
Pekos and gdnas are being flown at half mast.
I hope he comes back. Suppliers aren't allowed in the coop threads. They have other limitations too. Maybe he will start posting in another forum. His work on bottom feeders, in particular the Amazon vented screw in a fd classic 510 has been invaluable.

Unfortunately it is true. And D_J is currently in limbo also. :(
thanks for the headsup.
hopefully they either get it worked out or find a new forum home... and we find them. i think they are both on fb, but that is not a very appealing option for many.

Yeah this is pretty amazing given that nothing but assistance was given in these threads. Makes me wonder what was accomplished by this decision other than a loss of valued contributors - maybe another vendor who pays more to sell here got pissy and threw a fit.

Hope they find a new home where they can be appreciated.

As a member of the original beta team, this is definitely a black day on ECF. The entire project was funded by George and the beta team, the parts were publicly posted for anyone to buy generically, and build at will.
If that's a business plan, it had to be one of the worst profit plans in history.

I for one don't get it, sad, very sad

I sense the winds of change blowing

Only trying to understand..... I'm curious did gdeal have anything to do with live wire? I just pop in once and a while so I'm not fully informed.....? I noticed that he or whomever came up with the most recent build doc for the gdna the author directs ppl to live wire...... I'm wondering if that did it? Because there hasn't been any issues for what..... a couple of years??..... And he seemed like the type of guy that would have read all of the rules and regs regarding his relationship to Ecf which was huge! Free advice... I mean seriously I've offered him money to build me a gdna and he refused saying he wasn't doing this for money but merely helping ECF MEMBERS to do for themselves!!

The way this forum is run is no different than what the FDA is doing to the vaping industry. It's all about money. The rules don't protect us common users but benefit the suppliers and advertisers who have lined the pockets of the administrators of this site. Just my opinion.
