He is a loco robot sent from Mars to destroy this website and its integrity.
Anyone that doesn’t know what I’m ranting about and thinks I’M the loco one, look at the latest recipe feed on the main site and then click his username. Take a look at how many recipes he’s duplicated, spammed us with. So many to-be ADV’s would have been lost in there thanks to this guy.
That’s true. He seems legit. Posting all those recipes so fast is probably an unintended dick move. Those pdf files he has on his site has some interesting info in them.
Nothing to be concerned about - It’s a collective of ~3700 mixers from a facebook group called Vaping Home Brewers They should be done inputting their stuff in the next 48 hours or so They seem like pretty cool guys and gals
As daath has said, we’re a group of just over 3,700 DIY mixers mostly based in the UK and the recipes that you’ve noticed appearing are part of the collection of 600+ that we’ve gathered from all corners of the vaping community but largely submitted by our own members.
Where we’ve included somebody else’s recipe then its there because we believe that it’s a great recipe and we will do our best to include a credit (and, in time, proper links to the original recipe) to acknowledge the creator wherever possible.
We’ve taken this step to move our collection over to ELR to make them available to the wider vaping community rather than have them hidden away in largely unusable text files, accessible to only our members.
What you’ll see by the end of this week will still be just a work-in-progress that will have (at least) several weeks more work before it’s properly presentable but there’s no feasible way of getting to that point while keeping this part of the project ‘dark’.
And to calm any fears:
our members have been specifically requested not to rate any recipe that they haven’t personally tried precisely to avoid any up-voting game. And if we find that any have done so, the VHB admin team will issue stern warnings to the members involved and do anything we can to repair the damage.
And because VHB members tend to be a chatty bunch (rollseyes) they’ve also been requested to limit their comments under recipes specifically to matters relating to that recipe and keep wider discussions to either our FB group or maybe here in the ELR forum.
To go back to rohin7’s original question:
VHB is not a loco robot sent from Mars to destroy this website and its integrity.
But after too little sleep and a lot of stress, I do feel a little like a loco robot.
And let’s face it, nobody in the right minds would take on a project like this…
I’m happy to answer any questions and deal with any problems - either here or in IRC when I make it in there under my “bv” identity or if something comes up that’s more urgent, you’re welcome to message me direct on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.drake.ceedee
Spoken like a true robot using 1 of the 3 rules of robotics to make us feel safe and Isaac Asimov would be proud g
btw nice looking pdf ebooks, you all did very well on them!
Lol, that’s the first one I pegged to make. Just gotta order a couple flavors.
Quick question @BathVaper. I notice some of these are posting twice. Once in the bulk upload and once by the individual mixer. Is there a preference as to which one we rate and comment on? Seems like the quality of feedback will be diluted with double posts.
