How many members do we still have on here? Im just curious. I appreciate you all and the help that I received when I first started my vape adventure and the continued support.
At least a bunch. A get hit with at least a couple of new member hellos a day.
278,219 registered. Approximately 10% online currently.
It seems like a good amount of people still post on here.

The best answer!!!
It took Deep Thought 7 1/2 million years to compute and check the answer. Too bad no one ever knew what the question was (except, of course, for D.A.).
FWIW...... 42 can also be expressed as an * (in ASCII). Elegant, perhaps. But still, more simply stated than 101010 (base 2).
The answer, 42, is in plain sight, twice, on the cover of the 1994 edition.
The 42 puzzle. The shape of the islands in the background spells out 42, and there are 42 coloured balls. Amusingly, according to D.A. most people totally missed both references. LOL
The 42 puzzle orthorectified (1), and the number 42 hidden as binary (2), Hindu-Arabic numerals (3) and Roman numerals (4).
Also FWIW:
- The Allen Telescope Array, a radio telescope used by SETI, has 42 dishes in homage to the Answer.
- In X-Files, Fox Mulder, lives in apartment 42. This has been acknowledged by the show's creator, Chris Carter, as a reference to Hitchhikers.
And well, ya know, "... a towel has immense psychological value."
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyhow........... "So long, and thanks for all the fish".
ETA: Much more...... HERE (and elsewhere!).

There aren't that many of us left, but luckily it takes more than two hands to count active members.
Give us a year and we'll soar towards the clouds again

I found these forums soon after I switched from smoking to vaping. That was 11 years ago, and I am certainly not on here as much as I used to be. Not counting the 'Welcome to ECF' posts that I make, I'm only on here two or three times a month, sometimes less, sometimes more. The past year and a half or so has seen me drop my overall 'net usage quite a bit.
