Not the best "howdy do" i've ever seen...

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time after reading this thread... ... This forum has been one of the most informative forums I have ever been involved in and I have received so much help and have learned so much in the last couple of months. Thanks to everyone here I have not had a real cigarette since I have started vaping and do not even want one anymore. As far as pregnancy questions ask away. I am sure there are many doctors and others that are in the medical field in this forum. I am a Paramedic/firefighter - I am no doctor but I would add my 2 cents here. I would not recommend nicotine to any pregnant person..... She should consult her primary doctor with questions about that. If this person is a newly expecting mom needing to quite smoking and can maybe cure the addiction with a oral fixation by vapeing 0% flavored juice that may help. Again a primary doctor would be my advice, but you can get lots and lots of help in here.
5 post can be done in a very short time!

I joined this site to try and get more information from vape users. I wanted to research and get some feed back about information that is not proven facts about vaping nicotine. Mainly about pregnancy and vaping. I don't agree with these "newbie" rules and wonder who else thinks this is bad practice?

0 to 5 posts:
Members are restricted to posting in the New Members Forum only, can not use Private Messaging, and can not have a signature. Totally understandable. There is different ways to do employe this same security. I don't want to spend time posting in the new user area just to be allowed to post a reply on the one forum I wanted feedback/information on. I didn't see your newbie rules in the Email given or in the disclaimer or otherwise I would not of signed up and wouldn't be writing this right now.

5 to 15 posts:
Members can post in other forums and use Private Messaging. Wouldn't it be 6-15? So what is different about "all forums" and "other forums", does not specify, what type of forums are in the "all" category that are not in the "other forums"?

15 posts and above:
Members can post in all forums, and can now have a signature. Once again what is in the "all forums" that is not in "other forums".

Any feedback and explanation from a moderator would be helpful.

If you're a woman and currently pregnant, I understand where you are coming from.

My wife, too, was bats**t insane during her pregnancies.

Vasectomies are worth it, men.

I still consider myself a noob to the forum, but look at my post count...just dive right in and be friendly, ask questions, join a conversation. I still frequent this section a lot, a lot of seasoned members do.
Or take the time to copy and paste rules you don't like and reply in a different font color, which probably took more time than posting at least those first 5 required posts...WOW. Seriously....?


Oh yeah, welcome....I think....

(and LOL at mudflap)
