I have said before that since I joined and started contributing to this forum, my time spent on Facebook has dwindled considerably.
I now probably only visit FB once a week or even once every two weeks. And my visits are very short.
Today it dawned on me:
- Facebook is a collection of my friends - with very different interests.
- ECIGSSA is a collection of people I don't really know - all with a focused interest on vaping.
I don't really care about my friend's new pet on FB or how many different theories there are on the missing Malaysian flight, forwarded many times from different people. Wading through the tons of uninteresting posts to find the odd interesting snippet of an overseas friend is time consuming and quite painful for the reward it yields.
On the other hand, with ECIGSSA, the forum is alive and enticing. It is addictive. We are all seeking tastier juices and a more satisfying vape. Getting to know the people and their online personas is a big part of the fun. But the vaping topic keeps us all focused and together - like a team. I'm not sure which war we are fighting, but we're all in it together and it's so lekker.
To @Gizmo and all of you on the forum, thanks!
