General E-Smoking Discussion, Rename the forum?

[Griff.J]

We're trying to show the world we're not smokers, shouldn't this form be called "General vaping Discussion"? Just saying.

I posted this question a month ago and apparently is comes up every few months. The short answer is that vaping is a term not relatively known by the general population so it will stay the way it is for search engines/availability.

Yep, once a month. We should have another thread mid August pop up.

OP, what BigL said. The term e-smoking makes it easier for those looking into ecigs find this forum if the go the natural progression e-cig to e-smoking.....

Also remember this is a UK based site.

I think it's so the term will turn up in search engines. Most people looking for information the very first time don't know what vaping is.

Yep the SEO behind their choice is solid. Many more people will find the forum by its current name than if it were changed.

What? I didn't know this is a UK based site. I'm outta here!












Seriously though, I came across this site more than once doing searches for e-cigarette related topics and I never used the word "smoking". I can see not changing cigarette but changing smoking doesn't seem to be a term that would affect much.

They laugh at me anyways. I'm shocked at how many people know what a robot dong looks like.

Well then let's really make the search engines blow up and change it to "General Anti-Smoking Discussion"

Have given it a passing thought, but I think everyone gets the gist of it.
