Hope everyone is enjoyng the mini heatwave. A big hello to the familiar 'old faces' and also to the new faces (who, no doubt are probable a few 'old faces')

Cheers! It's really good to see you I hope you stick around for all the cake and ammo parties we have


PS I wont tell anyone youre here as long as you brought cake!

PSS The cake is for FlamingKaty and Purplefowler

 

[cheersm8]

Thanks for the welcome. Cake? no problem, I'm made of cake! Well thought it was about time I had a recky here (well a registered recky as opposed to a lurking recky). Since that kerfufuffle (which I missed) The good vaping folks that I had been lucky enough to share keyboard preses with, seemed to have been scattered to the four winds. Pussycats know their way home though, and, pound to a penny, I bet many will end up back here. Especially after a brief taste of life in some of the other 'splinter groups'. enough said. lolol

Don't worry I wont ban you either And I sure hope you still can mildly tolerate this weirdo American

I sure hope more come this way, that is our intention We like the fun part of vaping, not all that other who ha haha diddly crap.

I've stopped posting on UKV and popped over to vape pit...last time I posted on ECF was during the "war" other than that, this is home as you can tell by my post count. When I get actively involved in something like when I first got to UKV, I like to share my excitement! And this place is pretty spot on

It was a couple of weeks before I began to notice that the dot org place was like all the annoying parts of the old UKV without many of the good bits.

Hi Cheersm8 :60: . Welcome to our hideyhole . I think you're right about UKV2...not quite able to put my finger on why it feels so odd. Souless has been mentioned and I think that's right. Bit like someone burnt down the mansion and everyone ended up in a tent or something .

I may be barking completely up the wrong tree but 'dot org' seems to have provided a less than healthy opportunity for 'little fish' to vie with each other in an attempt to get a 'big fish' badge. Of course, given the circumstance surround it's creation that was bound to happen, as it would with any other web community who's members suffered the same upheaval and regrouping. No worries for the 'old hands' but could,possibly, give 'new users' poor quality advice at the expense of point scoring. Having said that, many of 'the old hands' that frequent dot org are as helpful, fair and cheerful as they ever were and only time will tell whether they are stallwart enough see it through the blip. I have my doubts (forgive my harshness) for the rot does seem to have set in early.

I think it's a combination of things. But one thing I didn't feel was comfortable. Maybe it was because everyone was high strung after the prior week and the excitement behind the reopening. Whatever it is, I wasn't comfortable. I dont particularly believe it has anything to do with who is in charge, I only know 3 of the mods names anyways, so I can't judge the way the things being ran. I think it lays more so with the way people are speaking to one another. Very disappointing to see someone ask a valid question and then to have 2 pages of irrelevant answers and being "bullied" into agreeing with their POV. It wasn't like that 6 months ago when I first got there or maybe it was and I just didn't see it. Who knows.

At the end of the day, when the computers get shut off, we're all human beings with real lives to deal with. We share one major thing in common and that is vaping. Along the way we find people we like and we don't like. It's ultimately up to us how we handle each situation. Sometimes (I am a prime example) poor judgement gets the best of ya. After you take responsibility for your own actions, all you can do is try to make amends and move on.

I hope things normalize, not get "back to normal" but both PoTV and UKV find the normalization that makes people comfortable to be here or there.

Well said and welcome Cheers8 from an 'old hand' who is still learning

Hiya cheersm8. It's really good to see you, I tell you to make yourself comfy, but it looks like you already have
