Does anybody remember what it was like here not so very long ago, when you could pull down the Recent Threads, and not have to scroll through 8 pages of former ECF members wallowing in shared self pity, and obsessively re hashing the very hell they fled , in between endless inane personal banter and actually find a thread related to vaping?

I miss that.

I'm sorry that they felt they deserved the treatment they lapped up by staying there as long as they did, but get the fuck over it already. Nobody here really cares.

Strangely, most of us who left that toxic shit-pit are quite happy to have a place to discuss, of all things, VAPING.

If I gave a shit about some tyrannical moderators ex wife's bunion surgery, or someone who's self esteem is at such a life threatening low level, they have been banned for the third time this month for poor punctuation, AND IS STILL THERE, if all that drama was so important to me, I wouldn't have left that Nazi cesspool.

I believe in THIS community. Move on indeed.

I think I'll begin posting links to the most onerous, and devoid of any merit posts in this thread.

Lol. The most popular forum here is the Fugge pages.

Your idea is good albeit a non starter.

I'm sorry you feel that way but for many of us, or at least me, this is the only place I can rant about almost anything freely. I can't even rant on my own facebook page because my mom is on there and out of respect for her I don't use strong language there. Sometimes we have to get things off our chests to get over it, ya know? :)

I can understand that it's nice to have a place to vent about unjust treatment a lot of folks have had at the other place. What I don't get is why it seems that we have so many members here that rarely, if ever, stray from those threads on here. There is so much more on this forum that seems to be overlooked by those who stick only to those threads.

Very true.... Some, though, do seem to be spreading their wings and getting into the other threads. They, I guess, needed to huddle for a while and gather themselves. ;) We were Refugees after all. :teehee::teehee:

...it could just be that some of us haven't yet spread our proverbial, albeit perhaps leathery, wings because we haven't yet found a thread where we could offer any real help/advice or contribute anything meaningful to the disussion.

On a certain Pipe Smoking Forum there was once a member who achieved legendary status and a mega post count by posting "Cool Beanz!" several ( actually many ) times a day to anything any member posted.

This is not a ploy I personally would wish to employ!

Hmm, Are you who I think you are? I was wondering about that user name. ;) I love my Falcons even though I haven't smoked a pipe in a while. I do plan on picking it back up after I get my teeth fixed (dentures).
BTW, post count doesn't mean that much, we have great contributors with both a high and low post count.

They are not real members of VU just members of that thread.
I bet most of them are still active members of ECF that only come here to vent.

While I agree that after a while, it's a good idea to just let it go, I have to go with celtic on this one; the only way I could get over my ire was ventilating it, when I first got here. Now... I really don't give a rat's ass what goes on there, because i don't go there at all anymore, so they can kiss my ass. I love this forum not only for the great vaping threads, which I do participate in (love the great DIY threads here), but also for the freedom to say what I think about the nazi asswipes over there -- I do like to hang around with some of the other refugees; it wasn't ever them, that made me leave there, and I missed them dreadfully until they'd also had a bellyful and came over here.

Just the fact that we can type "ECF" and not see "***" is a marvelous freedom -- you can't even say the name of VU over there, without it being censored. And a lot of us learned most of what we know about vaping, over there, so naturally it's going to be mentioned, even if we don't dwell on all the asswipery over there.

Yes Mark - guilty as charged! I am Gerry, aka "Falconeer", aka "The Old Falcon," wot wrote about Falcon Pipes, one time Mod on Tamp and Puff etc etc. Stopped smoking about a year ago, after more than 50 years a smoker, when I took up vaping almost by accident after my daughter bought me an electric pipe as a present...

On the pipe smoking front - I lost all my teeth at age 50 when for the third time in my life I grew an extra set of teeth - that time under the existing teeth - very very painful - I did contemplate getting the mouthpieces on my Falcons changed to dental stems but found the standard stems worked still just fine for me as I was never a clencher.

Yeah, I guess if I wasn't so much a clencher I could have kept on with the pipe, but it just doesn't fell natural to me to have to hang on to it all the time while smoking. BTW, have you tried to make any juice from extracted pipe tobacco? I'm thinking about trying it since I have a good bit of tobacco still stored in mason jars. I think I could enjoy vaping Stonehaven!:D

Yes Mark I tried it using some of my St Bruno Flake and also with B&H's Mellow Virginia saturated rubbed out pipe toacco with VG, gave it 15 seconds in the microwave then left it to steep for a bit before filtering it. The resulting "goo" I used as favouring I then added to DIY 18 strength e liquid...and wished I hadn't bothered.

It tasted like the tobacco juice you occasionally get coming up the stem of a pipe. I came to the conclusion that no e liquid would ever resemble the taste of burning tobacco - however I found that the longer I vaped, the less notion I had for a tobacco taste.

Now I mainly vape unflavoured DIY juice - for me if I vape this in a Nautilus Mini I get a taste similar to the old Bri virginiat cigarette Senior Service unfiltered and if I vape it in a GS Air or Trident Mini it vaguely resembles my other old favourite Player's Medium unfiltered.

Unlike many folk I actually prefer the peperry tasting nicotine liquid, so I usually buy the Greek stuff you can get in Spain readily.

Well, I see what you mean there. I don't vape much tobacco flavored juice now, either. I DIY mostly custards/dessert flavors. If I really want a cigarette taste I lean towards a 555.

LOL a rant about ranting.

2 Fugee threads are not the entire board as the OP implies.

I also notice he has an ECF Refugee badge.
I had already requested mine be removed before finding this rant thread.

Like any refugees we need to blend in vs trying to bring our culture with us.

As with virtually all posts in the Networld just my opinions.

And there is nothing wrong with posting in more than one board contrary to ECF policy.
I also post on ECR.

Have fun folks and keep your heads out of your asses.

Your powers of observation are impressive. Many of us lowly VU members would not have noticed without your divine assistance.


Like any refugees we need to blend in vs trying to bring our culture with us.

My response to the ECF culture of shit. Drop it at the door.


I had already requested mine be removed before finding this rant thread.

Then why did you apply for it in the first place? Or are you concerned it will be held against you if you go back.....


An excerpt from a "fugee thread" where the ECF "victims" were whining about VU, and my response, which prompted this thread.


A former ECF member said: ↑
I agree, I've never felt at home here

response:

Well, there ARE other threads to explore. Besides this one. Threads without all the wallowing and gnashing of teeth and self pity. Some of them are about vaping. Or THIS community.

If you like, I can arrange for a few of us to follow you around the forum, and belittle and demean you so you might feel more comfortable.

Whatever we can do to make this more like home. you ingrate.

Is that better? Or not mean spirited and oppressive enough?

Now, I understand the contempt some immigrants feel toward others. The ones that fled some oppressive shit-hole of a country, where they were facing certain demise, yet refuse to even make an effort to integrate in their new country.

Staying in their own little enclaves, refusing to learn a new language or accept new customs, the whole time reminiscing about how wonderful their former shit-hole was.

And the whole time, assuming a sense of entitlement. Criticizing the very society that was perhaps overly kind and welcoming, even naive in accepting them. Only to have that kindness repaid by the continuance of past conflicts, now to be perpetuated in the "land of infidels", by those who contribute nothing, but disharmony to their new community, and vocally decry any criticism of their penchant for preserving and propagating strife, as intolerance. Even from within their own refugee community.

Remaining isolated, they conveniently ignore all the efforts of those before them, that prepared the way for them to now undermine, and corrupt their new home.

Invariably, it is these people that make the most noise. Those of us who appreciate, and value and love our new home, and make an effort to contribute to the community as a whole, become the minority, become targets and are distained by the radical emigre community, for their unwillingness to be embroiled in the resurrection of past fuckery.



The constant spamming in this forum, by those driving up their post count by bitching, and reminiscing about ECF is bad enough, but when discussion turns to how much they miss ECF, or don't feel at home, while never leaving their never ending shit-posting threads, I get a little miffed.

When I left, ECF, I did not feel compelled to endlessly post about the the good old days, it was shit there, and thats why I left. (BTW, I requested my account be closed there), instead, I embraced THIS forum.

And I'm not going to idly tolerate any whining about this place, from those who refuse to contribute to it.

RC, has contributed. He was welcomed here like all the other refugees, by myself, and others. and posts in a great many different and varied threads.

I have nothing against former ECF members. Many here have integrated, and continue to contribute to this forum, and are assets here. As RC felt compelled to point out, I am one. Perhaps 20 of my posts here have had anything to do with ECF. A very very small percentage.

When you reach as low a percentage as that RC, I'll give your opinion on this matter some consideration.

From YOUR OP.
I am not obtuse I am truthful and accurate. The rest of your post needs no reply.

What I find sad though, is the people that come here to whine and complain about ECF. I'll give the OP that. How sad are THEIR lives, when they think and online forum matters in life? It's a damn forum. Most people will NEVER meet the people they chat with, in actual real, living and breathing, life.

And if some online forum means THAT much to you, you need to get out more and find a life. WTF did you people DO before you could hide inside and peck away on a keyboard? Happiness and fulfillment in life is NOT found on the internet.

I agree to a point but the Womper thread for example, yes at first it was about ecf but that was to be expected, not that it matters really or has anything to do with this prick. The womper thread and the refugee thread of late, is NOT about ECF, it's a group of friends getting together and talking, period, if this thick fuck can't see that, or even be bothered to go into these threads and read then that's HIS problem, like I say, the guy has some serious mental problems.

Seems this is pretty accurate.

People leave ECF because they hate it there, only to do the same shit here and act the same way. So why did they leave in the first place? It obviously wasn't because they really didn't like it. Must be because they couldn't inflict the BS so they wanted to go someplace else that would allow them to act like they wanted.

Assimilate is for losers I guess.

I bet most of them are still active members of ECF that only come here to vent.


I think most, appreciate the lack of oppression here, and integrate very well. It is a small, vocal minority who contribute little or nothing that occupy the most space with their "there was this one time at band camp um ECF....." posts.

OTOH, not all the immigrants from the USSR back in the day were coming to embrace their new capitalist ideals. Some had an agenda.

I agree to a point but the Womper thread for example, yes at first it was about ecf but that was to be expected, not that it matters really or has anything to do with this prick. The womper thread and the refugee thread of late, is NOT about ECF, it's a group of friends getting together and talking, period, if this thick fuck can't see that, or even be bothered to go into these threads and read then that's HIS problem, like I say, the guy has some serious mental problems.
Somebody give this prick a new badge
You have to remember a few things.
1 some of us NEVER were a part of ECF (me included)
2 the ECF whine is constant around here. They even made a special section of the forums for people that got booted. Yet the whining ends up in most threads at some point.

This isn't ECF. So to hear the constant whining of it all the time, get's really old. If I left here, you would not hear of me complaining about this place somewhere else. The obsession of it all is unhealthy and points to mental instability. If people have a grudge with the mods over there, then meet them face to face and fix the problem. Otherwise, shouldn't they just let it go? Can't people see it poisons the well over here? Why bring that negativity HERE?

I don't have any issues with ex ECF people, other than the crying about ECF.

If anyone is not familiar with how the ignore function works I will help.


Could you please explain to me how to use it to eliminate all of the ECF dedicated threads from appearing in the recent posts? I would be in your debt.
