Looks like Brianj may have taken his toys and gone back to his lame forum that I've NEVER heard of in 5 years of vaping! Brianj, come out and play, my beaver is starving!

Goot lawd dis a lotta drama...and I only read one page of this gibberish.

VJ makes money from pimping deals - be it through share-a-sale or whatever else. So? If I bit on his hook, either I got a good price on a product I'd been watching anyway or he turned me on to something I didn't know about. Either way, the money I spent was willingly added to my astronomical credit card balance, and possibly less because I scored through a VJ link than if I'd bought without being prompted.

A fellow vaper profits off of me saving money on a purchase I'd likely have made at some point anyway. How does this not equal win for all parties involved?

Apologies if this point has already been made a lot of times, I can't read 200 posts on this bullenschizen when I'm supposed to be working...

I don't get why people are so worried about others making money. Vapor Joe created the forum, and maybe it's a way for him to put more bills in the pocket or maybe not, but how does that change the forum though? - Does it really affect you or anyone here?

The same goes for his deals site... so what if he makes a few pennies because you purchased under an affiliate link. Every once in a while there are people that voice their frustration with this, but I want to know where does that frustration come from?

Now, if these images on the forum or the affiliate links on Vapor Joes deal page had an increase in the cost to the consumer, I can see where someone would have a problem with it.

Maybe I'm just missing the point here?

You are missing the point...but...if you'll lift off Brians propeller beanie off the top of his head and pat very very softly...you'll find it again. Softly now, wouldn't want your hand to get pricked, very, very pointy up there.

Most times, that frustration comes from the fact that they're just mad they didn't A) think of it first and/or B) have the direction and drive to make it a reality :D

I could give a crap if you deleted them or not Devil
You're doing the wrong thing for our community
Maybe, you don't know it

Oh because you represent the community so much better? Where are your contributions? Where is your website? How many hours of your free time do you dedicate to the community? Or do you mainly just specialize in forum bashing? Fucking trolls man - do us a favor and get lost.

Easy: The butthurt masses who are unwilling to put the additional effort into doing whatever it takes to make a living doing something they enjoy and are, as a result, stuck in a shitty job making shitty money doing something they hate. We're a bitter lot.

For folks like the OP: There's nothing special about Joe other than he capitalized on an opportunity, worked his ass off to realize that opportunity's potential, and set himself on a path to live the dream. Don't like it? Go be a fucking communist then, preferably someplace where there's no internet so those of us who are able to be happy for the success of others DESPITE our own failures in life don't have to scroll through your worthless blathering.

Could care less if anyone makes money from this forum. It costs to run one. As with anything, do your research and make your own decision about buying something you see posted or not.

Actually if you see all the ads, i don't make a dime from any of them.

So your wrong, but being the open forum that we are. We wont delete you post.

I'll let the forums success speak for itself :)

It's rather easy to dissect an ad and view if it's going to be giving anyone a single cent and these ads do not have that in place, yes they're "Tracker" ads but that is all! I prefer this forum so far over the rest, FWIW!

You don't get it. Your supposed to work 14 hours a day in the vaping community and live on free juice! I know my bill collectors accept it. ;)

Thank you sir ... Your words are most kind.
 
Sad to say the idea of idiot posts being left might be a big draw. Most interesting thread I have read in awhile. We need more trolls now!

Who cares who makes money ?? If someone tells me whats going on ,or whats new in this community that's education I respect it . Anyone can start their own juice company ,YT channel or forum . If I started a forum and had to listen to this crap all day I would want to get paid !! I will go anywhere and listen to anyone to make my life easier , what do I care who gets what .!! I got bills to pay and a mother-in law , those are enough problems, for me to worry about .

Brian I'm not gonna call you names again. I'm going to just be a friend and call you BrianJ, well...lets get friendly and I'll call you BJ for short. BJ you should scower the web, everywhere I go lately on vape sites I see this little red and black banner on the front page and...and...and these words, just two of them on banner....Vaping Underground!!! It's a plot BJ, we need your help and quickly. This VU thing is indoctrinating me, teaching me everything a noob vaper like me needs to know by a bunch of really nice people all willing to help or lead me to good help. Juice BJ, j-u-i-c-e, can you believe it, all kinds of it bottled or make your own running rampant everywhere and I have to do is click that little banner thingy!!!. Deals BJ, lots and lots of deals! That bastard Joe is posting up a bunch of them, there are vendors here posting them, running contests for FREE stuff, BJ can you believe it, FREE stuff..just like your food stamps and SSDI checks!!!! $182 BJ, can you believe that...It's what I've saved using Joes site since I came here, Joe has to be an anti-capitalist or maybe even a...a...a Marxist don't you think!?!? Oh and BJ, there is a guy here that's going to make me a hand made vape stand and since even more have come out of the closet making them since I originally asked him if he made them that look like the one he posted the pic of. I haven't had him make it yet BJ, please, I'm begging you, stop me before I get another really good deal again thanks to Joe and the good people here at VU!!! Hater you are BJ, just a knotted panty, sour grape, wimpy hater...you're a sad case.
See you next month for your monthly post, please help us keep this thread going.

I need to be careful and sorry if i've offended anyone. I sometimes like trolling trolls. I don't expect anything out of it, it's just kinda like chasing a snake with a stick. :oops:
