Do you happen to know if there are any better DCMS or design systems? I suppose I could just use Adobe DW, but for now I wouldn't mind something convenient and simple..Either way, I'm game to play!

Yeah, I saw that after I opened my mouth, lol..Any registrars in particular I should go with? Found a bunch of decently priced ones, but couldn't tell for sure if I would be stuck with using their hosting services and software..
Wordpress should be good for content and stuff. If memory serves, it's kind of a blog/cms system so it should be great for that. If we want forums, there are some good options out there. I use SMF for a few sites and it's very good. We can surely use both I would think. WP for easily updating content and whatever forum software for that.
Most of them ask you upfront if you will be using them to host or somewhere else. I would say we would best be served by using .com or .net
That's what I like to hear..Have been checking out some WP themes and trying to get a feel for what would fit the needs best. Can VBulletin be an option? I see that often enough and am familiar with that, but Simple Machines is still clean and accessible, so I guess it would just be a matter of preference.
I saw that nebraskavaping.com was available so I snatched it up. I got nebraskavaping.info free with it so that's a bonus. Hope you don't mind. Just that in my experience if you find one available and don't act right away, the registrar will snag it and then try to auction it if it's a good name. It's easy enough to transfer ownership if need be.
I'm in the process of getting them set up now. They'll both point to the same content so everything will only need to be done once going forward. Not sure how much I'll be able to get done from work cuz they firewall the crap out of everything so I may have to do the bulk of it from home. That has a chance at happening tomorrow night, if not it will have to be next week some time.
True, I didnt go through them in great detail, but found some good deals and saw them referenced as "safe" registrars..I was even thinking about buying the .net, .org (or .com) extensions as well..but I don't know if that will be necessary as I don't see the need to "protect" the name.
Lol, well I was just on one of the sites getting that all set up..well, you da man, Tar! Thanks.
I don't think there is a hurry to push this out. That gives me some time to fiddle with themes, content, graphics and text.
One more question for everybody..As far as any content that will be on this site, anybody think there will be any legal issues involved? With that I mean, seeing as how there is no gov't regulation with any of this, would we still need age verification; disclaimers of any kind; etc. Or would it be simple enough to throw in a few minor "this website does not promote e cig use to be yadda, yadda, yadda.." These have not been been....by the FDA" sort of thing?
I think from a legal standpoint, anything goes technically. Never a bad idea to CYA, but it's my understanding that kids can technically buy ecigs legally at this point. "This site is intended for users over 18" prominently displayed on the front page and in the footer of each page may be the socially responsible thing to do, but we're not selling anything so I think all content will first amendment protected.

That was/is kind of my understanding as well. As far as any vendor sponsoring, advertising, links, etc. that would then fall back onto their sites as far as legalities go, yes?
Yes. One thing I've done on a few sites is put up a terms and conditions of use page that basically indemnifies from anything that happens on the site. I'm not responsible for content, links, postings, blah, blah, blah..... Pretty sure most of that is unnecessary but I've already had a stock photo company threatening to sue me for a piece of a copyrighted photo that appeared on one of my sites.
Yeah, some can be pretty picky about that stuff. Cool, well I'll lay out a blanket TOS or what have you and take a look at some from other forums that should be adapted.
My opinion would be to follow CYA rules and have an age verification and and I fine print disclaimer banner at the bottom of each page.
Pitt, how much you know about the varistack? Very affordable option at GV, but from what I am reading, the amp break is not consistant from device to device. But I guess if all I hit is 3.0ohms it shouldn't be much of an issue.

Did we have to do any kind of age verification for ECF? I don't remember if I had to provide anything like that. I'd say if they don't have to, we don't have to.
I'm not for certain, ill log out, delete my cookes and go in as a new member and see
I don't remember for sure, but I do know that the forum rules dictate that as a requirement. That may be all that would need to be done as far as a forum/blog would go..
I do know that they are considered to be along the same lines as the LTs, just in a different package. Some have reported issues with them, others couldn't be happier with them. I do know that any of the problems I have read about, were typically fixed simply by removing and reinstalling the batteries. As far as the amp break goes, if I'm not mistaken, it is only rated at 2amps but I remember some people saying it is variable depending on the type of carto on there. But if you are using a 3ohm SCC, you shouldn't run into any problems going all the way up to 6v. It does use stacked batteries (I believe ICR/IMR 18350, which is common enough) if that concerns you. The kit at GV isn't available to the "public" though..
You can browse without age verification, but to register as a used you have to verify age.
That's what I figured..That's no issue, as it will also be in the forum registration and all that jazz..
Anybody think of any other legalities? I'm not thinking so, myself, but for all intents.. I figure, as Tar said, some simple disclaimers would suffice and probably won't be "needed" for the general area. I still may throw in some FDA crap FSAG though.
