Happy 18th Birthday, ECF

[DPLongo22]

When I was growing up, this forum would be old enough to drink!

Seriously though, here's to ECF. You made it possible for at least one person, and I suspect many more, to finally be able to quit smoking for good.

You were still but a toddler when I stumbled upon you (late 2011), and it's been truly wonderful watching you grow & mature into a fine young adult.

Thank you all (@classwife , @retired1 , @Misty , and please forgive me for not knowing all of the current mods, but am also mentally including truly-unforgettable Robin). You made and make a difference, and are appreciated.

Made this a sticky for a week or two.

Just 5 minutes ago, or was it yesterday, I thought to start a Happy Birthday thread for our beloved ECF, then changed my mind and decided to wait til the 20th anniversary.

As life would have it, and without prior knowledge, my vape Bestie (and dear friend) made the same decision, other than the waiting 2 years part.

Thank you, DPL. And HUGE THANKS to all of you who run ECF, and participate in ECF - you have become vape buddies of a decade plus. This forum has meant more to me than words could ever describe... <3

To those we've lost, you are not forgotten.

@DPLongo22 and @Katdarling and all
Wowzer!
18 years!
So many great people have trudged through these halls. Many still here, many moved on, faded away and several have passed on. Some great friendships made.
The opportunities to meet some in person when there were get-togethers, much fun!
The oddest thing to me is how you can come to truly love people that you have never met in real life.
I really have no idea if I would have almost 16 years without a cigarette if not for having ECF to keep me involved.

I think ECF has the greatest and most helpful people, y'all are amazing!

And classie, you are dearly loved by so many!
