I guess I need to post here, so here goes.

Ironically I've been lurking this forum for.. about a year. So it's a little annoying that I have to post in the "New Members" forum, but ah well. Those are the rules and I'm sure it does some good around here for people who are new to online forums.
Anyway! Hey, I'm Andrew, and I started vaping about a year ago, and stopped because I had no money. Now that I've moved and am around friends who smoke, I decided to pick it up again, so thus, I'm back on this forum.

Welcome aboard Andrew!
Where in CA do you hang your hat?
What differences in the e-cig "idea" have you noticed from a year ago to now?
Truly, 5 posts is nothing.... think about it like chatting on the phone...even though it takes a refresh to hear a response, LOL
During your year of lurking.... what is the most common thing/item/comment you've seen?

I went 3 days before I couldn't take it and HAD to sign up and gab... what kept you back?

 

[leannebug]

Yes, Jer... about that... um, how many posts would you have??

 

[JerryRM]

Yes, Jer... about that... um, how many posts would you have??

You just had to ask that question, Leanne !!! Roughly, around 13,000, probably more.

LOL...OH man.... don't look at mine Guys!!!!!!

It is true... posting on the "Inside" is much scarier than posting "Outside"!

You have to make some semblance of sense in an "Inside" post.

Well... in theory, anyway.

 

[leannebug]

Oh noes! Is this going to be another one of "those" threads?

(taken over by those out-of-control-crazies from the outside?!?)

 

[Digimon2k]

Part 923, Subpart MCXLLV, Paragraph 346434, Subparagraph ixlmccv quite clearly states that out-of-control-crazies can be expected to come in from the outside from time to time.

so... to answer your question... quite likely.

Oh, most likely Leanne


Hi Agnl- Welcome. I lurked for a few months before i joined here. Learned lots, but finally hit a point where i just had to say something...I'm still not as gabby as some other people- but i do my share of posting. some of my posts (at least 6 or 7) were even helpful.

 

[leannebug]

6 or 7??

But CES! That leaves One-thousdand five hunderd and thirty-three or four unaccounted for!!

 

[Digimon2k]

6 or 7??

But CES! That leaves One-thousdand five hunderd and thirty-three or four unaccounted for!!

they were helpful, just not in an ordinary way.

one of those 1,533 posts led me to a thread filled with snails...

not to mention the ones in the outside....funny, i think i had to make 20 posts to get out of the new member forum. never thought i would, and i keep coming back

they were helpful, just not in an ordinary way.

one of those 1,533 posts led me to a thread filled with snails...

ah, that was in the zombie social group, where all of my most helpful posts reside.

we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

 

[leannebug]

PS. (just so this post has relavance to our OP) WELCOME!

 

[jjrose]

So I should be thanking CES for leading Deej, who led me to the Snails....Thanks Chris!!!

Oh yeah Welcome to ECF!

 

[hairball]

agnl....welcome aboard. I know about noobiness. I had a ton of questions when I first started. I even went to the vets on some of them. Everyone is very helpful, so if you need to know something, please ask.

Well, to be honest, the vast majority of topics on this forum have been covered before. But this is a really big place, and the search function isn't as great as we would like it to be. Unfortunately we have to work within the limitations of the software. On top of that, the majority of our members are 40+, and might not be used to dealing with forums and the like. So the best any of us can do is have a bit of patience with each other and try to be as helpful as we can.

The voice of reason steps in and says more patiently and eloquently than I ever could, exactly what I'm trying to figure out how to say without offending anyone or getting jumped on because I didn't say it correctly. Thank you Angus. And thank you for confirming my personal observation that most of us are over 40 and not accustomed to the internets and communicating on anything other than a land-line.

AND - since someone turned all of the crazies loose in the noob thread -please please please explain "outside" and "Snails" so the noobs, over 40's and I don't feel like we've totally stepped over into another land . . . Thank you in advance!

Take care AG...hope you have fun here!!!!!!

[jjrose]

Let's see...Outside is where all the crazies live....lots of politics, and silliness there...
Snails...The most wonderful people in the world.
