I received a notification for my forumversary today, i am pretty sure i jumped on board at the beginning so i am wondering if today is the anniversary of the forums as well.
What say ye?
EDIT: Pretty sure that today is the, public, 3 year anniversary for the forums. Thanks to everyone who has joined along the way.
After auro-scrolling for a long while my first post was February 8th, 2015 and a signup of February 5th, 2015. So i am thinking it was right around that time that the forum opened so im going to change the tittle.
I was a redditor as was Lars, i heard him mention the possibility of ELR adding forums so i kept my eyes open. I wanted a new place to hang my hat as the old one wasnt my thing. When he announced it on reddit i ran right over. I didnt use the recipe side a lot back then, if at all. I wrote down everything and had the wife do the mathing.
I can’t remember really. I had been on the Calculator for a while and I’m sure there was either an email notification or something. When I joined I didn’t jump in right away. By the time I did there was a good bit of activity already. But I’ll say this…the decision to get involved with the discussions completely changed my vape life. At the time I thought I was doing some good vaping with the Joyetech Delta II. Boy did I ever learn quickly!
Happy forumversary! I wasn’t here at the startup and I lurked a while after joining.There wasn’t much traffic and that worked out great for me at the time because the forum already had pages of great info so I would read for hours on end. All the questions I had in my mind was the same questions the older members had asked a couple of months before so all the info was very easy to find. I benefited greatly from all their hard work.I never joined any other forum , I didn’t want to be the new guy but this place was different.
Luckily I had only been mixing for a couple of months , because back then recipes calling for 24-30% flavoring totals were the norm.It wasn’t hard for me to change my mixing style because I was still new.
Everyday it seemed back then they would be talking about flavors and comparing notes like a family discussing what is on the menu for Thanksgiving Dinner! It was awesome and a helluva great way to learn!
TL:DR Thank all the members of ELR both new and old for sharing your wisdom, time ,and friendship!
