[QUOTE="bombastinator, post: 23657457, member: 43994"] So it no longer has stuff going back to the beginning? Perhaps this is a wording issue. The thing to my knowledge has been around almost as long as vaping. Before vaping was even a word. I remember the term being bandied about as a possible descriptor. It may have even been invented here. This means their data file is massive. So massive it could have problems just because it’s big and some of the data was created so long ago that it will in a few years reach the point that it’s been around longer than the lives of some of its members. There may be fairly subtle cruft that needs poking through. There may for instance be onion and hairball issues. There have likely been a LOT of updates. And more than one complete rewrite. I remember visiting a forum once called .................. that HAD to be newer than this site. Why? Because it was called ................... This site amongst other things is a living and searchable history of all the .... big tobacco has pulled since they noticed it. That imho alone is incredibly valuable. [/QUOTE]
