now Im confooosed .. One who shall not be named has a name?
Before your time and part of the reason that we ended up with our own forum.
Once upon a time, a distinguished gentleman heard about a new vendor entering the tobacco vape arena. So he started a thread in the E-Liquid section of the forum asking if anyone had tried Heather's and how was it. A crazy lady was the first to respond RAVING about Gandalf (now named Legend). Soon this thread drew responses from many a diverse group of people. They started trying all the different NETS and comparing notes. Well that could only last so long when most everyone had found what they liked and didn't like. They would invite very new people over to help them find something they would like, even if it was fruits that this person was looking for

.
Pretty soon these people would become friends and, well you know how it goes, they start talking about their lives and things not all about HHV. At the time there were 2 vendors that had very active threads in that section of the forum. A 3rd vendor was just getting quite a bit of buzz. Now these 2 threads were just rolling along, not causing any problems in that section of the forum. Yeah, they became chit-chat type threads but never really bothered anyone.
Then The One Who Shall Not Be Named (henceforth known as THE none) joined the forum. He started off innocently just posting here and there. This third vendor had multiple threads popping up with people asking this or that about them. That was fine, no biggie. After not too long, a pattern started to emerge. It seemed as THE none was always bumping All this third vendor threads to the top of the page. It became a mission with this particular individual to 'Sell' everyone on this particular vendor.
If a thread was started by someone asking about what liquid to try, of course people would give suggestions. Well, evidently, HHV ruffled his feathers and in a split second, he totally made it his mission to bad talk HHV and the Army. Man, he would push GT's buttons... So anyway, back to the story. It was very much speculated that this person was a shill for this third vendor. It got so bad around the eliquid section that because of the prolific third vendors threads popping up all over, they would get closed and it got very war like out there. THE none would then complain that our thread and this other vendor's thread were chit-chat threads and why don't we get closed down.
Dusty managed to get us this place instead of being shut down. The other vendor wasn't as lucky. They started over somewhere else and I guess the option was offered to have their own Group thread?? I'm not as familiar with their history so I can't speak with knowledge on what happened there. Anyway, back to THE none. He caused so much chaos for everyone even the Mods. He finally overstepped TOS too many times and was Moved On. We thought all was back to normal. We had this beautiful place to decorate, no fear of being shut down for doing what we do best; welcome people and help them find the HHV liquid that does it for them. Just general help and friendship offered to whomever stumbled upon our little space.
Well! THE none did NOT like getting tossed out. He kept coming back. Used other people's computers to make a new account with different names. OMG he had the Mods running all over the place. He did this for oh about two or three weeks. Just when we would think we had seen the last of him, up he would pop. He would create an account and send PM's to anyone who happened to be online to go over to this Great Forum he discovered elsewhere. Yeah, he wanted ECF to suffer the loss of members because they banned him. Of course none of what happened was his fault. *insert sarcastic emoticon*
In a way we have him to thank for this great place we have carved out. I gotta tell ya, it was a wild bizarre ride for a while. THE none is from Australia, our poor Mods had to be busy when they normally would have been sleeping I think.
The end.
We did at least have a happy ending
