While deeply appreciative of the offer, I will decline the opportunity.

Who in their right mind would bump a whole page of dead threads? Lmao.

So, what do you say. Want to head over to Reddit with me and become ADMINs of our own subReddit. Hell, we can all be ADMINs, and hand out 3 day bans to all the thread necros.

WHO is WITH ME?!

One of the reasons I've stuck with ECF is it's well curated by the Mods .. as opposed to Reddit, which is generally a cesspool ..
Well... we could keep all the same mods on our SubReddit. The other Idea, is that we could Just link all the reference material back to this forum(e-cigarette-forum.com). I'm not saying leave ECF. I am saying divert traffic back here.

I think this is a great forum but new vapers don't even know it exists. We need to send out signals on every single social media platform, that there is a better, more accurate, and more engaged community to get answers.

While deeply appreciative of the offer, I will decline the opportunity.
Ok so you're in? that makes 2 of us. Who else?

I have a problem. I tend to say some really stupid stuff that makes people hate me. Then I create a new account, but I say more stupid stuff. So I make a new account. This has been going on for 15 years.

I know. And it's so easy to uncover your other accounts. I know of 2 of them. But I can't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt so I can't really report them. You're not very good at covering your tracks, so to speak.

No one. If we wanted to go to reddit we'd be there already. There are many vape subreddits there already.

Reddit doesn't allow links to sites that sell juice and nicotine, why would anyone want to start a new vape subreddit? Sure, you can slip one by here and there, but they basically broke reddit more than it was already by making that dumb rule.

Btw- @Falconeer - I apologize about the exchange over in the new members forum. Later did I realized the OP went and bumped almost that whole page of threads. Thus, it's my belief that is why he started this one here.

No worries, no apology needed ( but thanks all the same) - worse things happen at sea ( so I'm told!)

Great Idea! This can be one of our selling points as to why they should come to ECF. I have seen many Reddit posts asking for private PMs for links to e-liquid. I like the way your mind works, very sharp indeed.

Ok, so that makes 3 of us. I will start a list here:
  1. CloudyFutures
  2. CMD-Ky

    But I also don't want to get shot in my sleep. Will supporting ECF allow people to know where I live?

    If you were really worried about that that would make you the most paranoid vaper I've come across yet but I think you were kidding.

    Kind of ironic how this thread started and now you're trying to get us over on Reddit. I know a lot of vapers have left for other forums over the years, forget what they were called. No clue if they're still around.

    This is the guy who said he was in need of dialing in his medications. I suspect there are more like him here :lol:.

    So we're just going to openly laugh at everyone with mental health problems around here? I find most of your posts funny but this is careless. More upsetting is how many are laughing along. Attack the post not the poster AND everyone on the board openly or not battling mental health issues.

    You're correct, I apologize. I have my own. My brain damage or other comments probably weren't too clever, either.

    I, optimistically, along with myself, felt people here were laughing at themselves. I suppose it takes a certain personality type to come onto a message board and put up words one might not actually say to their family or personal relations.

    Seems a lot emptier here than when I joined the forum 15 years ago. You use to see like 10 new people every week.

    What happened? Did I scare them away?



    Don't know about 15 years ago, maybe the ECF wasn't on the internet at that time.
    (Imagine a few British gents setting at a table in a Soho Pub and calling themselves a Forum :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:)
    Absolutely agree on social medicine because the VA Hospital is sooooo effective.

    But seriously folks, old people die. Cancer patients die. There is, and will always be coming and goings in this world.
    There are others who simply stopped vaping. They used this forum to stop smoking tobacco, then tapered off nicotine all together.
    I think "the golden age of vaping" was doomed when Asia started flooding the market with cheaply made higher voltage equipment. This gave rise to "cloud chasing", which is an annoyance to non-smokers and non-vapers alike in confined public places like restaurants. Add the Blow-Up-Your-Face quality of those cheap mods, and the Tobacco Lobby (which is alive and well) had an opening.
    The Mailing Limitations are punishment for Domestic products. Fasttech is still advertising free shipping to America. While Vendors here at home are closing.
    I believe that to the ECF is still the best source for vaping information. Just now instead of discussing E-Liquid Vendors we are going DIY, and there are still a few threads that roll right along.
    Things change. Always have, always will.

    yeah, I said I was naked and asked if that counted - then deleted that portion...

    it was people just laughing at themselves. Not a lot of saints running around this forum... lol.. no need to laugh at others when we have ourselves to giggle at!

    Can't really put my finger on it but the OP just rubs me the wrong way.

    First he was in another thread where he wanted to put up a vaping website and he was asking here in ECF (the audacity) for moderators for said website...odd,distasteful and just plain wrong.

    Then now with this whole Reddit thing...Is it just me or this whole thing feels surreal?

    P.S:Was going to use another word besides surreal but i thought surreal was the mildest one.
