Hey guys. I appreciate the welcoming nature of this thread, and the social aspect that I was able to get here that is severely lacking for the most part on ECF. It has been great knowing you all, but my time here is done. I can't stand the flippant attitude the admins of this forum take toward the PVT. I wish you all well, and I can be found at NV.

Actually we don't care to take over the thread. Your objection is noted and you are moved on as requested.

I'm sorry you all feel that way. It saddens me to finally confirm what I had thought for quite some time, that PVT had become more of a clique looking for post count and forum fame and glory then a group dedicated to welcoming folks.

You're wrong. People who care about their post count post in word game threads. They get hundreds of posts a day and you don't have to do any work--no lists to keep, no PMs to send, no rescheduling your RW obligations to attend avatar parties, no avatar changes, no staying up late to be around for a new vet who just happened to join ECF in the middle of the night in a desparate moment of trying to finally quit smoking...

    All the word games should be put in the lounge.

    Thanks, Sarge.

    It feels good to be appreciated.
    Its not about lack of appreciation. It is a simple statement. if you care about PVT you'll carry on. If you don't you'll quit. The exodus has already started, prove me wrong, make it work.

    Though I could not contribute these last months, my hat is off to all who have made these celebrations so special. The scheduling and rescheduling, the research into who's turning when, the time spent finding the perfect images for the celebrants party theme, the opening of Welcome Threads and monitoring for contest eligibility; all the hard work this post count, fame and glory seeking clique , crew does to make a Pre-Vet's turning day memorable...

    I just have to say WOW... just wow. I'm sure the whole PVT crew, especially those who go the extra mile, who spend work breaks, get up an hour or two early, set the alarm for midnight turnings, sign-on when sick, when out of town, take time away from family on holidays, even come here right after surgery to participate in and take pride in an ECF member turning ECF Veteran, truly appreciate the vote of "thanks" given in this thread today.

    I don't need to prove anything to you, Sarge. I've been a good and loyal ECF member for two and a half years, contributing whatever I could all over the Forum--in New Members, in the Burning Cartomizers thread, in Asks the Vets, in general e-cig threads, in supplier subforums, in Health threads.

    We've been trying to keep PVT alive for the remainder of the year--for the prevets and for J0ker and his contests. I feel that moving it to the Lounge suddenly and without any prior notice or consultation with us shows, again, that ECF doesn't value our work here.

    I'll take my ball, Sarge...

    don't make me start multi quoting :)

    you don't have to multi-quote, sarge, there is plenty of chit chat here. what bothers me is all of this:

    no lists to keep, no PMs to send, no rescheduling your RW obligations to attend avatar parties, no avatar changes, no staying up late to be around for a new vet who just happened to join ECF in the middle of the night in a desperate moment of trying to finally quit smoking

    has now been categorized as chit chat, or read natalia's post for even more details ......... and the extra eligibility tracking for j0ker's contest .......

    the chit-chat in this particular thread was between turnings and had the advantage of helping to keep people around and stay dedicated to the worthy pursuit of celebrating anniversaries. the why and where it's going is an insult to my friends and if it weren't for them and most at the beach i'd tell you where you could stick your forum, soldier.
