For the other place, a certain green parrot named Pete looks nice. I hear it's the latest fashionable avatar to wear there.

I still have the same avatar there as always, but when I left, I changed my title line to say "ECF Guru No More"... I'm thinking of changing it, for the 6 wks left of my subscription, to say "Moved On Voluntarily". :D

I saw it. When I realized you were missing, I went looking for you. I was worried you or your hubby was sick, or something. When I saw what you wrote, I knew something else had happened, but didn't have the real story until I came here.

Thanks for the good nights

Still can't sleep. Ugh insomnia

VERY sorry to hear it, Goddess... Wish I could loan you my "glasses" (one bourbon, one beer). I'ma have a lil trouble myself too tonite. It was raining and gray today, and I had a few hours to kill waiting on an important phone call, so I took a damn nap. :rolleyes: Murder on a regular sleep cycle. Felt good at the time though.

Naps are wonderful ! Usually worth it anyway but they do tend to throw you off if they are long. Me, haven't gotten 8 full hours in the last 3 nights combined. Who knows. Tried the beer last night lol

Ouch! Not 8 hours COMBINED? I don't think that is healthy, Beautiful. 6 hrs min each night should be a law. But I has a weird chemistry. I can work 48 hours straight before I start getting a lil goofy, never cranky, and then 8 hours of sleep and I can do it all again. But I think that may be in part due to always having had to "get er done" and pulling crazy long hours come crush time, and the fact that I usually get about 10 hours a night. lol.. I'm a lollygaggin fool when mah world isn't on fire... ;)

Hah! I wonder if using an image of a VU meter as one's avatar would be good for a ban over there?
I am seeing quite a few people sporting this over there and getting away with it:

If I wasn't so fond of Petey, I would consider it.
Lol.. Petey. I had Roxy's Petey avatar in my sig line. A mod notified me, that my 200x200 graphic was not in compliance with the rules for sigs. So I switched Petey to my REGULAR avatar, and put this in my sig...

not sure it was really the effect that they were hoping for...

I didn't get 8 hrs all in one stretch for 18 yrs... while my boy was growing up. I usually had a 2-3 hr nap between 3-4am and 6-7am, then a nice 4-5 hr nap in the daytime when he was at school.

When he grew up and left home, I finally got to sleep 7-8 hrs all at once again. :D

Woohoo! I got YouTube playing on my tablet, and it grabbed my favorites I already had saved! I like it on the tablet late at night, it's not as loud as the PC speakers (Logitechs that will run you right out of the house!).

I ordered a cool thing from ebay tonight for the tablet...

$15.98!!! They were $35 at Walmart! :D

I know Roxy doesn't like it, but I'm pretty sure that a few folks over there HATE it. I have to keep sporting it, although it is mostly historical at this point. I'm saving my breath there, I like the way the web rankings are changing. It's about the advertising revenue there. Marching orders won't change until the advertising revenue does.

True that....and I hope he suffers for the disrespect he indulged on Roxy.

He must be suffering. He reached out to me. But, we haven't exactly gotten anywhere, and I have no inclination to return. They made this mess themselves, and I'm surely not going to help fix it. When you shit in your own house, you should clean it immediately, not leave it a festering cesspool for a month.

Live long and vape well Roxy---

Those people over there really hurt you personally on many levels and offended your sensibilities by questioning your veracity, discounting your value as a member and they treated you like dirt for doing something very awesome for the vaping community.

It probably feels like a bad divorce - because you were one of the best over there and they shit on that.You have so much to offer to the vaping community which they obviously did not realize until it started to hit them in the wallet.

Let `em stew and build something even better here. :)

Yes, they really did. The number of times they disrespected me, and treated me poorly, is unbelievable. There is no solution at this point.

I seen on the one ECF thread where SJ attempted to address the issue and explain what they did including not close your account after you told them to. Seems to me he ignored a couple valid questions and created more problems while solving none there.

I keep wondering why SJ cant just come out and admit that ECF fucked up, own it and deal with the problem like a man instead of all this wishy washy shit. SJ knows his traffic is way down and they also know exactly what we are talking about here. Why not just take responsibility, admit that they have some moderator problems, deal with it and move on. He could of diffused this situation weeks ago if he would of just man'd the fuck up!

Chop, I certainly agree with you, it just goes to show the man he isn't.

It come down to 2 things. Money and integrity. Roxy has integrity.

Another board I am on, the owner has said how much he has been offered to put adds on there. It was a healthy 5 figure sum. He turned them down. It is the largest in its field but about a tenth of the size of ECF.

Money is driving this whole shitstorm.

Think we're all doing a really good job building that, vapor joe is a great guy, including the mods.
