Sounds like a great idea

You're right about many people not liking forums. I've been trying to convert a few smoking friends. They've tried and liked the odd SDK Ive thrown their way on a night out but when they see my Screwdriver or Lavatube they piss themselves laughing....NERD ALERT !

Something like this could help educate the unbelievers

Aloha Tdol
TBH haven't been using the terms for accuracy per se - more to keep my Forum usage Mindful - we're not actual taught How to use such things as Subject and Object - but will certainly bear that in mind - and try to use them more accurately!

Forums are Fine and Dandy but there can be a level of assumed knowledge that make the new user feel dumb and Vaping seem complicated - which can be perceived as distinctly off putting - as thee say if smokers see themselves as 'rebels' the last thing they may wish to become is 'Nerdified'

Having ready access to information would certainly allow more folk to make a reasoned decision without feeling that there's a whole new 'Language' and a degree in Physics needed before they can start!

Would folk prefer a Mind Map type - lists or what would make a site more accessible for thee?

[Boadacia]

I were a-thinking you might want to make it an FAQ list as it is on many other forums where the subject material is much more complex than ours? Including all the best known vendors and in categories of International and British?

[Dragonmum]

Often wondered if thee and thou is a Quaker thing - if so it is more or less grammatically correct by long usage. Agree FAQ way tto go. Darn it, now I'm stuttering again.

Plan is to link to as many existing pieces of information as i can to start - and then start writing me own - get the information that's available more accessible 1st tho - so links to Suppliers, Vendors, Forums, Health, Legal and Organisations etc asap and go from there!

Good idea- a mind map in addition to lists would make a good alternative. I am normally not a huge fan of mind maps, but vaping is a case where they could be very useful IMO.

Something like the healthcabin Atty layout, with 'click-able' links ?

[Digicig]

Have Mind Manager which should allow Hyper linking - i think?

[Buckfasterfullerine]

Also, found you a new Avatar ! , best to download it just in case the link gets broken.

[Digicig]

Well at least a temporary 'Front Page' should be up by Sunday - then a week or so of adding content etc
Any links to interesting stuff: Best Beginners guide, Youtube, Modding tips, Sites etc either add them here PM me please

Just noticed this. Great idea Digi, this will make life easier on the forum as well. Easier to point someone to a mapped site with info rather than trawl through old posts or repeat over and over the same things. Well done and good luck.

+1 on above, good luck with this!

[daveinleics]

Good idea. I certainly think that a lot of the "beginner's guides" that I have seen could be improved on.
