Shroomery blackout, Jan 18th? * 1
    #15661573 - 01/13/12 03:24 PM (4 months, 13 days ago)

What do you say Ythan? I think the shroomery should joint he fight. Fuck the internet for one day, we'll all be back the next. :smile:

What do you say sir, have you thought about it?

Why the 19th when the other sites are doing it on the 18th?

I would be fine with it if it happened on the same day everyone else was doing it and other related sites did it also, meaning mycotopia, DMT-Nexus, etc... in a concerted effort.

I still kind of have an apathetic view on this. I mean, most people that would take the time to write, email, or call on this issue already know about it. The other people will just wait it out, hit a porn site and be back the next day thinking nothing of it.

I think this is an important issue and would support the decision to shut down the shroomery on the correct date.

A lot of people I have talked to about it don't know the bill is even going through, much less it's implications. I think a blackout will alert people that might otherwise not be aware for whatever reasons. Although I don't know why the OP suggested the 19th instead of the 18th. It could be a time zone thing i guess. But I think it's a good idea.

Yeah if the site shut down by itself that would make a dent but I think ythan should have a little bit of pow-wow pull to maybe get other sites to follow suit. I think that would be the most effective course.

Have some common page that with a link to a site saying "this and that".

The sites can just put up a banner ad or add an intro page before the homepage that everyone will see, shutting down for a day would be retarded.

I don't plan on blacking out the site entirely, mostly because the mods don't share a unified view about these bills. But I will be replacing all images with this for the day. Incidentally January 18th is my 30th birthday... worst date for an internet blackout ever. :mad:

Haha, well thank you for replying Ythan. It's good to hear we got at least a little something planned. I am excited to see what the site will look like on this day.

I will also make you a birthday thread in the pub on the 18th, so beware! :tongue2:

Raising our awareness requires you to make us aware. I'm only new here and might have missed something but when I saw all the images removed I was stunned, as SOPA has to do with copyright etc. and they were MY images, no chance of piracy. The only pic you left, my avatar is the only image I 'liberated'. Very confusing and this is the only info I could find on the site regarding what's going on(nothing else in news or announcements sections?)so as I said, I may have missed something obvious to most but if not, epic fail! As it took me so long to work it out (maybe my own stupidity?) I have already deleted all my 'removed' images and won't be bothering to waste time uploading again.
It's not that I don't support the cause, just think shock and awe should not be used to get attention from your "friends" and given my perspective, thats kinda what it seems like.
Feel free to further enlighten me... Peace all
P.S Happy birthday Ythan

Sorry about that miyagsnuggs, a global sticky was on its way, but you're right I should have posted it before making changes to the site to eliminate any confusion. If you need any of your images recovered from backup please let me know.

This was a new addition to the site as of like, a few hours ago.

It is temporary and all of your images will be back soon.

There was no need for you to delete them all!

If you can do it with a few keystrokes, sure thanks. For me it will take ages and rape my prepaid internet. Not pissed, just confused like I said, hope I wsn't too abrupt and thanks for getting back so quick. Only deleted them coz the deleted pic was annoying, taking up space for nothing I thought, but it didn't go away so that was a waste of time too! gahyukgahyuk
and ah, good point cloud9! Now the truth comes out. Really that is just more impressive!

Heh... definitely not just a few keystrokes, no. But whatever, it was partly my fault so I took the time to restore them. Maybe dial down the paranoia a notch for next time though.

so you add to the blackout, and make us suffer(miyagsnuggs) without a notice as you yourself said you should have made a notice/sticky before.

some of us understand about the SOPA and other bills that we don't need a liberal stinking hippie blackout.


it's your party, ranchtits.

Fuck all this shit, assume it will effect the UK just as much as the USA in long run.

Thankfully hackers/programmers are always ahead of the game, good luck SOPA. :mad:

And some of us didn't have a clue about it, myself included. Unless you're in favor of the SOPA bill I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to raise awareness about it. The patriot act was bad enough.

Ythan, I think this is an excellent idea. It should give people an idea of what could happen if this actually passes, though I will admit I almost shit my pants when I clicked on one of my pics and saw that FBI-looking seal saying my pic was blocked :lol:

I don't see what blacking out a psychedelic themed website is gonna help accomplish, honestly. Wikipedia was alright cause it get's 25 million hits an hour or some crap, and that was really as far as it needed to go to get advertise this, in my opinion. Especially when it's already losing favor and not gonna pass just like I expected. Anyway, god forbid some kid learns some shroom info here then goes and find some and comes back to ID them and then dies. Then people will be like "see what the government did!". Punching yourself in the face when someone else is trying to punch you in the face isn't the best way to not get hurt, it's actually a terrible way.

I did not "bite the big dog". 

that ban (while justified in Ythans mind) was overboard, and the reason behind it petty, and unprofessional.

I meant no disrespect to Ythan by my comments.  we often  disagree, his e-penis is huge and this is his place,  I do not come into WA&F looking to start shit, or receive a ban.

my comment "it's your party, ranchtits"  was a show of support for what he wants to do with his site.  if he was not apparently such a hot-headed fast to act type that may have become apparent.(I have used the it's your "____" at him before).  I can respect that much, not the ban.  Unneeded ban. 
were any of the other users that I saw bitching about the shroomery blackout banned?


the simple fact is that while Ythan has good ideas, he has sometimes implemented them in ways that have created more work and stress for him( I do not enjoy seeing this), and unnecessary problems for users, and bans(with bullshit reasons assigned to them).  Perhaps now that he is 30, his years will begin to show in the next year and he will consider the possible outcomes of his willy-nilly "blackout" and "shroomery points" ideas before he implements them.  on that same note I shall try harder not to post in WA&F in such a way that results in an easy banning from the Head Honcho of the Ranch.



I am not posting this in attempt to contest/argue the ban, just to clarify that it was not necessary, a bit overboard,  and accomplished nothing(because I actually spent the majority of the "Blackout Ban" in an actual blackout power outage due to the wind and rain storms in my area :tongue:).


Respectfully,

Oregon.

Sorry if I took your comment the wrong way or overreacted. It's not like the plan was a secret. I just get a little tired of the self-entitled attitude of some people around here. It's not even about whether you agree with our stance on the bills or not, it's just, why do you even think you have a right to be pissed if we happen to blank out images for a day? You aren't paying for our service, although you're welcome that we'll be hosting your files 364 days this year for free. I had just spent an hour pulling up our backups and restoring miyagsnuggs's images, because I screwed up and the placeholder went online before the global sticky went up. And then you decided to talk shit and use that as an example of how the whole thing was a bad idea. Fuckin' a. It's nothing personal man, you said "we often disagree" but I don't even recall what you're talking about. I just wasn't in the mood is all.

You aren't paying for our service, although you're welcome that we'll be hosting your files 364 days this year for free. I had just spent an hour pulling up our backups and restoring miyagsnuggs's images, because I screwed up and the placeholder went online before the global sticky went up. And then you decided to talk shit and use that as an example of how the whole thing was a bad idea. Fuckin' a. It's nothing personal man, you said "we often disagree" but I don't even recall what you're talking about. I just wasn't in the mood is all.





I do not think that I have a self-entitled anything around here.  when I use the term "it's your..." I am saying that I agree with what you feel you need/want to do with your site.  when I say ranchtits, it is camaraderie.

I just hate to see good ideas implemented in ways that make confusion/minor agitations/potential money loss for other shroomers(if you had not been able to help him recover his images. 


I was not pissed.  I sucks to see other users suffer, and you make more work for yourself because the blackout was not as implemented as smoothly as it could have been.(same with the shroomery points fiasco).

You aren't paying for our service, although you're welcome that we'll be hosting your files 364 days this year for free.
and I do not plan on paying for the chance to be banned because I was not clear and you "just wasn't in the mood".  things happen every now and then on the shroomery that prevent me from buying a supporter account(I know that I am not the only one).  largely things that could have been prevented, or lapses in apparent(from a users POV) timely, objective application of the rules.

I would gladly buy a supporter account if it meant not being banned based on if you are or another Admin/Mod in a bad mood or not.  but that is not how it works.  so here we are.

thank you for hosting my(our) images for free.


you know you or any of the other staff can just tell me to fuck off for a while, and I will.  Hell, I would even fuck off for a specified amount of time by my own accord.
I just expect something more than "Hey asshole, this is what a blackout looks like" from the Man in Charge.  I do not expect this of my own personal expectations of something that I feel entitled to, I expect better from you. 
you are a salesman, no?  you make no sales with silly bans and poorly implemented ideas that cause even one user, or an admin/user problem.


that was not a teachable moment/ban IMHO.  you say yourself that you were in a mood, and that you felt that some people were having a self-entitled attitude when that was not the case.  I do not come into WA&F trying to set you off or be inflammatory.

are you in the mood to remove the infraction points my good man, or assign me a 3 point infraction credit?(as others truly bitched about the blackout but were not banned, and I was not bitching about the blackout per se only about that a newer user should suffer for it.  (Also the Assigned Operator for my support ticket appealing the ban was online and posting in threads, but apparently had no time to address my ticket in a timely professional manner, but that is a whole different matter)).  the ban was a bit much and based apparently majorly on your mood.  you did take my comments the wrong way(understandable),  but the ban was an overreaction and based on your mood more than the rules-though I am certain you could justify it through the rules.



Thanks again.

And in a year I hope we are all laughing about it. Didn't mean offence to Oregon but I stand by my statement, that was funny, regardless of anything else, but then again I found the ranchtits bit funny too as one of my friends says that to me. All else aside, I was just happy to find out what was happening and trying to politely point out my opinion of the sort of reverse-effectiveness of the situation. The site is here for people, and I'm sort of one of them and without feedback from "customers", it will eventually end up so far up its own arse no one will be able to see it. (Obviously this hasn't happened yet in Shroomery's long life). Also I too know that I am lucky to be able to go to a place like this and not pay a membership and have photos hosted AND GET FEEDBACK FROM HEAD HONCHO directly, etc.
All is cool and Miyagi is happy! Shroom on. Thanks again Ythan and see you in another thread as this one has served it's purpose.

the ban was not funny.  it was overkill,  ineffective, and based on mood. 

I was not trying to be funny, and I was not trying to be an "asshole".

*vicious personal "This is what a blackout looks like" banned +3 infraction points from head honcho directly, called an asshole.(over a minor misunderstanding/disagreement?)

I might not be a "people" then, certainly no customer yet for obvious(to me and those with good memory) historical reasons.  Ythan can be a harsh to react hothead over circumstances of his own creation(not just recently to me personally, but generally IMHO)(also can be fair and forgiving) , and I might be quick to post honestly,crudely, for effect, and hold a grudge(but am not totally unreasonable).  only time will tell, but so far this a solid pattern.

it has happened more than once, new dude.  that is part of how we have come to have the shroomery that we have today.(not being a smartass, it is true, and a good thing to a certain extent).

Hello all,

I do not think that too many of us watch the Fox Business
Channel, but on the "Tom Sullivan Show" this evening
Judge Napolitano discusses the SOPA.

He rightly points out that this Act intends to do away
with due process for these specific actions.

"Where will this denial of due process end?"

Also, it requires the Federal Government to do the job
of the content providers.  If passed, Federal Agents
would have to handle the processing of complaints.

It is good stuff, if you can find it.  (1/2 way thru the show)

Take care,

JD

Well, that leaves out the dozen or so of us that are over 18.
