No, they don't want discourse now either!

I can't fathom yesterday's events. My guesses:

* They can't delete my 15k posts because it will affect subscriber revenue
* They want to quell the rebellion
* It's a move to put me in my place and show they have all the power over me
All of the above

That was my limit too. Man, those little white lines were like dots... Hey, that's a song.

Seriously, on a pre-cleared road, no cops, no roadkill, no chance of a bunny wandering out, I'd love to push it higher. I think my V-Rod will do 140+. Not sure about the Road Glide. It IS a thrill, but I don't want it to be my LAST thrill..

The V-Rod, cant say but the road glide if it is anything like my Dyna and the Sportster I had before, it wont go over 105. Computer is programmed to shut it down at that speed. The 2005 Sportster i use to have I put in an upgraded computer and that shut the bike down at 120.

So what do I do about the current ecf developments? Obviously they didn't follow through with the ultimatum of closing my account, and turned me into a vendor anyway :( Just Thursday SJ told a good friend he doesn't believe me. So they think I'm dishonest. They stripped my verified status and made me a vendor. And I haven't been allowed to have any communication whatsoever.

Should I pull a Vesuvious so they have to ban me?

Should I ignore this altogether and continue taking the high road?

I vote for you taking the high road. Word is already spreading that they are full of shit.

Here's the thing. They have zero power over you. You don't need them. They need you. And they're the ones who screwed the pooch. But they sure as shit will never admit to it. There's so much shit racking my noggin over this, it's not even funny. I think you should just walk away. It just gets more ridiculous by the day. The rebellion is inevitable. You were just one of many, many people that they did wrong. You weren't the only reason ECF is a damn ghost town

I pray, that your good friend is confused or heard that the wrong way, or SOMEthing. That is huge. It isn't like you are new to ECF, and it isn't like you have done anything previously that would make anyone think that. If that really happened, that would make him a fucker, and I'd want to slap that fucker. FOR you. The only damned thing we have, worth a nickle in this electronic forum world, is our veracity and honor. The only ones that should be entitled to take it away from us, is ourselves.

Keep your options. They've used all theirs up, and you are the only one left with some.
You can ALWAYS Vesuvious, but just one and done. Give yourself time. You might find that after getting banned for SHIT, no apology, you may just want to lay low a few years. Then you always can come back, and dance the line, and be a thorn in their side to effect positive change. Ya know, subtle lil things like calling them out on BULLSHIT, not quite enough to get you tossed, too much to ignore. Change the direction with subtle actions. Incite desperate phone calls to the Boss, from moderators who don't know how to answer a potentially very volatile yet innocent question. Have fun with it.

Look at it this way: as long as they don't delete your posts, then they're all still up, and a huge majority of them were very helpful to a lot of people -- so newbies will be coming along, reading them, and at some point will ask, whatever happened to Roxy? And someone will tell them the Roxy Ain't A Vendor massacree, further spreading the word about what total asshats ECF is. I'd call that a win. ;)

They don't have any power over me, but they think they do.

Any woman who has ever been in a relationship with a cowardly man who tries to control her sees this move from them as what it is.

You will need to screenshot them for me. I really won't look at that place.
These are the 2 most "important"

Excellent replies to SJ!

ECF is in full damage control mode right now. Normally all the titty jokes would of been stopped and the thread deleted as inappropriate.

They also fully dodged Louis's question. I dont believe the suppliers team are the ones who went after Roxy. Dont believe it for a second.

ECF with their attitude has done far more damage to ECF than any of us could ever have done. Look at it, many of us knew about Vaping Underground and just seldom came here. With what they did to Andria a few of us popped over here to say hi to her, and then with Roxy many more came here, found out its not a bad place at all and are spending most of our time here now. Not one single one of us with a case of the red ass at ECF could accomplish what they did to themselves.
I dont know about everyone else but I will occasionally post to my friends still in the Womper Room on ECF but for the most part, this is my new main vaping hang out. It is past the point of needing to sit down and discuss it with ECF. That should of been done when all this started but ECF is only interested in it now because they see the mass exodus happening over there.

I still want to know why I was singled out. There is a prominent member there who I know did 2 atty designs, and 2 mechs at least. The mechs have his name on them. He has not had any of this done to him.

I stayed with the Evo but still keep it under 105.
I think it is mechanical vs regulated kind of choice.

I cannot see for the life of me how this is unfair...

AND, All this other crap about going back and blasting yourself into a complete and permanent ban is childish.

Roxy, do what your heart and head tell you.

Thank You for being a Fellow Vaper!!!

Jim
I never made reference to how fair or unfair any of this is. Just disrespectful as fuck because Roxy let them know in no uncertain terms that she wished for her account to be closed.

It would be difficult to use ecf to get your side of the story across since they control what’s printed. It is their forum & it will tell the story their way.


Right now their story is you were not banned. They even made a special category to accommodate you. They sent you a PM, a private message.


Your friends know this is damage control. Responding to their overtures would suggest you accept all or part of their story.

money equals power and say so. Not to mention ECF, has zero principals that govern their decision process. From what I can tell, their decisions are made based on the either the flip of a coin or a spin of a wheel.

While I would feel the same.

I would still try to talk to them, if for nothing more then for my own sanity.

Whatever you do, I wish you well!!!

Jim

I have to ask.. just what the fuck is your problem? Have you ever heard the expression "talking to a brick wall"? That's what trying to "talk to them" is like.. EXACTLY like that. Now if you really think they're so fucking awesome, WHY DON'T GO RIGHT BACK OVER THERE AND STAY THE FUCK OUT OF HERE?

Geez.

Why worry about it? Just go on and ignore them.
