UKV SHUTDOWN TO GUARANTEE HELP

[sej016]

Doesn't mean much to me. I don't do FB or Twitter, etc.

[Jerri]

But millions do.

To be honest. I don't think it will make a difference. People who don't vape won't care less and the MP's etc will just ignore it. I see stuff trending every day. Unless its relevant to me personally I don't click. It will be the same with this.

I obviously see what they're trying to achieve but don't personally see how this will help.

It didn't trend for very long.

I would be well impressed if face book stayed shut for ever and then people might look for information on the forums rather than post rubbish all day

[djs]

I approve.

Why not?

Makes the point very well.

i.m.h.o.

Shame the petition page doesn't tell you what it wants you to fill in as a first time visitor, gave up after four attempts.

[loud]

Nope.

As said by others, I have signed petitions, emailed people, have a sticker in my car, suggested other people do the same. I've done a lot, particularly compared to some others. But when we've done all we can what else do we do? I was waiting for a specific pmand aadmittedly like browsing the forum at at certain times. This closing down of it just doesn't work for me, has even made me look at UKV with a great deal more meh than I thought I would.

Forum closed all day so you can go do stuff you've already done?

Meh!

Maybe we were missing a picture of a cat or a baby or summat, apparently they get millions of views?

[jacquif]

It's still down then? Any idea how long it's going to be down for?

[sej016]

Don't know. I guess it's the Mods' night off.

Well, as a Mod it would have been nice to have known this was going to happen. 

[loud]

You didn't know?

That's not clever on their part.

[jordan]

Is it possible that the ukv server has been hacked if members of admin/mods weren't notified?

[jacquif]

I'm trying to find out if anyone else knew.

[MarkS]

It's been done on purpose with no definitive time of when it will be back up again.

It's making a point and making it very well in my opinion.

Obviously some are going to see it as an inconvenience, but I'm sure they will get over it.


EDIT:
Just tweeted:

UK Vapers ?@uk_vapers 37m

We hope everyone understands our radical action tonight, and the reasons behind it. The forum will be back up tomorrow

[monty]

I think we need to pull out all the stops before the fast approaching deadline.

I have written again to my EMPs. I asked the 2 who are on our side to take care to be present for any vote. No harm in everyone writing again.
