Why did I(did you) became supporting member

[Liscab]

I spent my first months reading then I start posting and my status grew, but now I have stopped smoking and I have save a lot of money doing e cig and I owe this and I have to thank this forum, so $2 a month to help keep this forum alive and help other people get away from analog is my way to say thank you.

what about you?

interesting, and a generous,great idea, I think im about there with ya, this "forum" unlike others I have been involved with, seem to take this subject very serious, as it should be. there is a huge "fight" coming, and "we" as "users" duped legally into taking this drug, have a right to promote a "system" that fulfills our needs. THIS is incredibly important..........tell me where to send my donation..........forum, I know the ops names, not personally, you should develop a legal trust, for the promotion of the TRUTH via this forum..........shouldnt be hard,set up the "donation page" , I think, with millions of tabacco addicts around the world, you can generate, finally, something positive with some of the future non wasted money here, and for further(advertising) promotion of this device/product..........lets git dis goin' peeps,," money talks, tobacco walks" my motto............

I don't because i'm broke. But as there are many suppliers paying for forums and such I don't see the point; after all, we 'give back' by taking part and helping others; that's worth quite a bit

I don't want to put anyone off, but i would like to know what it would be used for.

As an aside, I didnt join the ECO either as I like to be independent and am suspicious or organisations - not the coming together as such but who gets to direct them, and why. But that's just me.

Respect to SJ all the same

That is only to thank this forum, $2 a month mean something to you? you have over 2000 post so you love this place did not you? how much have you learned and saved in this forum, and this forum have to be pay to be online, and this post is only for the ones that one to thanks not for the ones that never thanks

 

[MREXE]

aha, thx for the link........way ahead of my head..........good job, but, you should have a "NON PROFIT CONTRIBUTERS SITE"..........with facts and figures and links to show people "where's da money"...........very important........just sayin'

 

[kinabaloo]

bowing out

 

[Liscab]

I am just asking why did you became a supporting member, not if you are again to paid for it, in that case make a new treat about why not to pay to support ECF

 

[shivadance]

I became a supporting member so I could change the title under my username.

I don't give a fig what the $ is used for, I'm assuming this is not a non-profit site. I paid so I could get benefits, simple as that.

 

[Antebellum]

I support the forum in the hopes that several thousand other people will too so SJ can upgrade the servers and get rid of the annoying time-outs and no response periods.

 

[LaterSkater]

I am a supporting member because I firmly believe e-cigs are the only way most will be able to stop supporting the tobacco companies. I want as many people as possible to dump tobacco. I would give everything I own to put those .......s out of business. I have sort of a problem with those dudes.....

I am right there with you liscab! I just love this place and $2 a month is nothing considering all the help given. I work long hours and being able to come here and help others, gain useful info and just bs is great Worth every penny!

1. Where in the world can you get this much entertainment for 2 bucks a month???!!!???

2. Where in the world can you get this much good info?

3. Where in the world can you make so many friends and enemies in one place?? ;-)

4. I have a lot of money now that I am not smoking analogs.

5. What makes you (some of you) think these places are free? There are lots of expenses associated with running this forum, not to mention the time that SJ puts into it. If he makes a couple of bucks - SO WHAT- he deserves it and more. In addition, he has to take 'flack' from some members. It really is a thankless job - just as moderating is.

ecf is very informative it has helped me tremendously. I know it is not free to run such a forum. I became a supporting member because I want to do my part to keep the forum alive. I very much enjoy and appreciate this forum.

 

[Giz's Mom]

I did it because this forum has helped me so much. Not sure how my ecig experiment would have ended if I hadn't been able to learn so much from everyone here. I'm still learning and still reading so figured I should help contribute.

 

[Liscab]

ECF is over the top and our saving money and health machine but most people want more for free, we have every thing in here for free but We should have to thanks or WE have to thank this forum,...

 

[baby driver]

I support it because I know how much work it is to run a website, and I come here every day right now. I get a lot of valuable information and I enjoy the company here. I spent about $200 getting started with supplies, etc. -- compared to that, $2 a month is nothing.

There are some very kind and supportive messages here - I just want everyone to know that I have bought a new server - it's currently being load tested and hopefully will be up and running in the next month or so.

Also, the developers are currently in the process of creating some extra features for the site - I'm really hoping that we can take ECF to a whole new level of education and information.

I'm going to start a thread in the forum help and tech section to canvass ideas from everyone as to what the developers can do for the forum.

I'd really love it if folks would post their suggestions!

Thanks again,
