Im under McAnythingVapor on the FT Forums. Not the most active of people. I tend to lurk unless I can contribute something of value to the conversation at hand, but I will jump in on a good discussion always. Only been active at FT for about 6 months or so, basically since I started Vaping.
It really was a great place when I first started visiting at the end of the year last year, but since CNY the mess of alts and trolls has made it less and less worthwhile to visit, and the charm of being unmoderated has started to wear away.
Can't be doing with the ding-a-lings over there much longer, I think the FT forum is well and truly trucked now. To be honest I only go there now to wind up the trolls and have a look at new arrivals, though as I promised some time ago I hardly spend anything there now, I have enough vape gear to last forever.
No disrespect to anyone but what assurances can we have that idiots won't get on here, villan is already taunting that he has an account.
I'm with ya, Nerf. I am on FT each day to check new arrivals and read about the different products, but I can't even participate like I used to because of the troll infection. LOL.
So yeah. Aside from the marginal entertainment value of annoying the trolls, it always gets old eventually.
Good thing about any of them showing up here is that Paf is in control here ultimately. That is meaningful in several ways... not the smartest move for any of those dicks to participate here...
The "game" isn't over yet, nor are they going to "win" anything.

FT is one of the only public forums where dumbfucks can act like dumbfucks for days. Admins don't give a shit. They could try here but my guess is they wouldn't even bother. Takes 15min for them to create an account, 5sec for me to delete it. And if they start doing it when I sleep I'd give ban privileges to trusted people in different time zones, like every single international forums do.

I love a good game of Whack a Mole lmao. I still have to catch up on a couple of the threads from this past weekend lol. Nothing like getting paid to sit here at my desk, and read through troll/alt drama and nonsense! Makes the day tick by lol.
Something tells me there's no redeeming the FT forums at this point. It looks as if Jenny has thrown in the towel completely on the Forum end, and it seems like everything else at FT is going to hell(Shipping Department, customer service, etc).
It's temporary. FT always bounces back. There's some kind of hiccup going on right now, but we've seen it before. Also, people are all focusing on the authentic gear, and that's only been at FT for a little while now, and that will be the hardest for FT to have "in stock". I think there's a much higher level of trouble tickets now too, more customers, and yes - the troll activity is stupid and has spread.
But, this kind of thing can be cyclical. And trolls can be shut down with a little work over time. They hate a few people, and just focus on the current whoever targets them, but then still yammer on about the same people who've hurt them... and it's hilarious and stupid and pathetic.
Anyway... I'm not giving up on FT yet. But it's nice to see the good people who got me started going there regularly all right here too, for the most part. I appreciate that for sure.
