Forum Observation

[Don Robertson]

I have been on a few and I have to say this is totally friendly and helpful. On many forums there is a lot of flaming and overall negativity. I notice that repeat questions are common but there is very little of the usual smack down. I never would have guessed that so many people quitting smoking would be so mellow, you'd figure you would all be ripping each others head off ... lol

Great place you have here, I'm learning a lot.

Kepp readin'!



You'll find many a 'strong believer' on the various aspects of 'vaping'. Some like the really simple, some technical and some the downright time consuming. Lots of 'opinions' need to be sorted through and when it comes to 'the most wonderful juice in the world' - it might be or it might be horrible when you give it a shot. Junk is usually junk - unless it it is is not. Really great cane be - junk. Great prices can be - horribly expensive. Horribly expensive can be - fairly valued. I totally agree can be - you fool. It's all subjective can be --- you don't know squat. The list is endless. Folks usually mean well - unless they don't!

Welcome. Now watch how much time you invest and how much you think you'll save after you quit smoking. It may not happen ........ saving that is ....... quitting WILL if ya really want to do it now!

Senile Old Man Don .......... A new guy........ just like you.

Once in a while one of the mods will reveal the number of members on ECF. Last I heard it was 90,000 registered, but every time I hear the new number I'm amazed at how fast it's growing.

That info is at the bottom of the home page. Currently 177,756 registered members and over 21,000 active members. Not positive , but I think "Active" means number of members who have signed in in the last 30 days. Not to long ago there was a mod that said at the time there were between 100 to 150 new members signing up a day.

Love the site so far

 

[Ohms Lawbreaker]

Agree. Tons of intelligent and friendly life-forms on this planet. I try to be friendly and helpful and funny, and save some of my rougher edges for the OUTSIDE area, where we have a little more leeway. Like both neighborhoods, good idea splitting things up like that.

 

[SirSteve]

Welcome to ECF, it is a great bunch of people. The mods do a great job of keeping it civil, a big hand to them for a thankless job well done.

 

[JRZROB]

I must agree that this forum is one of the friendliest and the people here are patient with noobs, which is very cool! I enjoy reading the info and advice here more than any other board from a few of my different interests.

Proof positive that vaping works.

 

[Arch]

I agree. This forum has a very welcoming and supporting community.

 

[InTheShade]

Glad you're enjoying the ECF experience! As it's been mentioned already by DaveP... That kind of NewbAbuse isn't tolerated here! And most realize that it's not easy to navigate the metropolis that is ECF so patience is practiced here.
Vape on

You are not kidding, I recently discovered about 15 more subforums that I'd never seen before.

We're a friendly bunch for sure, this is one of the better run (and patronized) forums I frequent on the interwebs.

So welcome doghair, pull up a chair and make some new friends

Welcome to ECF! This is the best moderated forum I've been involved with in my 16 years online, and the members here are truly amazing.

That info is at the bottom of the home page. Currently 177,756 registered members and over 21,000 active members. Not positive , but I think "Active" means number of members who have signed in in the last 30 days. Not to long ago there was a mod that said at the time there were between 100 to 150 new members signing up a day.

What really astounds me is that ECF averages about 10,000 posts every day.

 

[Buggainok]

I'm joining the long line of folks who love this forum. It has been so helpful to me since I discovered it. It has now become a part of my daily routine to check in here and see if I can help or contribute any any way. I'm still learning more about this adventure called "vaping."

 

[Lewtz]

I've been a lurker but I have to agree, this is one of the few forums I have been on that is mostly flame free. I think it has to do with all Vapers seem to just be like "AWESOME DUDE YOU VAPE TOO!!" I think this is because we are all vaping for similar reasons.

 

[Bunnykiller]

Re Welcome Doghair... we are probably more mellow due to the fact that we have found nirvana or should I say Vapvana.. ohhhhmmmmmm... Okay Im back... ask of us the enlightened, we are here to inform and educate. Loooaaaaadd, Okay Im back, We have many answers, many experiences to share... Waaaaaaaattss..

[dvdgroover]

This is why I love this forum

 

[Free6413]

Welcome doghair! I found this forum by pure destiny? I found the chat extremely helpful and enlightening. That's why I'm still here. There is an a..hole who finds their way in every once in a while but they usually are sent packing pretty quickly. If not by a member then by the moderators. This I have to say is a breath of fresh air....pun intended! We all started somewhere and are heading in the same direction. Why take a life's journey with people you can't stand? If we were all white knuckling this trip the content, I can assure you, would be a whole lot different. This really works and I only wish I had found it sooner in my life. Keep after it and vape on my brother!

 

[rurwin]

Welcome, DogHair. This board is moderated efficiently and those who break the rules too many times find themselves off the board. It's run well and the moderators are reasonable and effective.

I'm a moderator on another (unrelated) forum, and I've got to say I don't envy the moderators here one iota. In fact I'm amazed they can keep on top of it. Serious kudos.

 

[TRoxx]

What I truly love....is the way the internet works.
and how it always helps me to become a better person

 

[retrox]

Tough to be a meanie when you're perpetually surrounded by fluffy clouds of strawberry shortcake. Or sweet maple tobacco. Or creamy butterscotch. Or...

At least, that's how I explain my own relaxed and helpful demeanor.

 

[Benztee]

Yep, a lot of good, knowledgeable people here! We are all here fighting the fight to finally quit the coffin nails. Trying to figure out the techno-babble/secret language of vaping is one of the biggest steps in vaping!

It has been a complete crash course in the secret language for me too........but that language helped me quit the lung darts....so i am grateful for it. As for the staggering amount of people who are registered here at ecf I feel it's a testament to the members that help out every "noob". Lurkers feel almost compelled to join and share in the daily help-a-noob foundation. That's why I joined anyway....to pass on what I've learned and hopefully help others to quit. time to puff

I joined shortly after I started experimenting with e-cigs over a year ago. I got lost for hours just reading. I have been able to make smart purchase decisions and I am happy with my, albeit simple, equipment and flavors. I have several favorite threads I visit daily, and I have made friends I never would have known. No question is "stupid", no matter how many times it has been asked. Takes awhile to learn the ins and outs of searching for what you are looking for, but there is so much information it is more than an encyclopedia of vaping.

Welcome!
