Holy fuck, you have some very great ideas for the future.

The climate is hardening, and is straying further and further away from what made the Shroomery great. In turn, policy is now becoming a bit stricter to keep this place hospitable to anyone.
We don't want a Shroomery dominated by experts in not giving a fuck, we want a Shroomery where people go the extra mile in helping each other, and the ones that do that tend to be the ones that genuinely care aboof the shroomery.
is new user registration declining? i was under the impression that it's at an all time high. there's an old saying that goes something like, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it. there's a reason why the shroomery was always better than mycotopia and this fine board ythan has customized the shit out of (props, best board on the net) is only part of the equation. a lot of the allure of the shroomery comes from being able to say whatever the fuck you want, in the proper forum.. and being able to voice your opinion of another user, no matter how vulgar, without fear of being punished.

Wow Ythan, just wow!
That should be the "Mission Statement" for the Shroomery, or at least how the Shroomery should ideally behave....
I really like the idea for ratings in different forums! I was thinking about that when Alan Rockafella, a Trusted Identifier, gave me advice in my strip-club thread....I thought, he should be re-named "Trusted Advice-Giver". Similar to the "rating in different forums Idea"....I love it.
And "Most Liked/Hated" list is a great idea too. It could explain to newbies why some people are nice, and why some are always assholes. And "Butthurt Hippies"... that's funny. You're not going to make "butthurt" an official term in the guidelines are you? "Malicious Puppets" was confusing and silly enough, but "butthurt", I think that may be too far with this lingo....
Ythan, you know your Site Well!

The whole post was great as everyone said and I'm really glad it looks like this is finally winding down.

We could also improve and emphasize the ignore functionality as a way to filter out unwanted content. It could be possible to publish and share your personal ignore list, and automatically ignore the people your friends are ignoring. Anyone could maintain a public ignore list which members can subscribe to, like "Trolls and Assholes", "Butthurt Hippies", etc.
Specifically, I wanted to point out the similarity of this idea and what came out of the spoiler thread. I think a combination of these ideas would be incredible.
It was basically about some sort of script to filter out, by way of a spoiler cover, user defined words. It was originally conceived as a way to avoid sports spoiler, but it could be applied to anything that a user wanted to stay hidden. You could have different groups that would use different colored spoiler covers. Lists could be shared and published just like you talked about above as well.

reactions to the structural side of the forums (features/user interface and customization etc) is almost always extremely positive----
i've always wondered if you could/planned to licence this software and try to sell it...

 hey thanks! The current BB package is not ours to sell since it's based on old commercial software. I kind of regret putting so much work into customizing something we don't even really own, but oh well. If/when I end up going ahead with that project to re-imagine the BB like in my earlier post, it would be coded from scratch using open components, and we'd be free to redistribute it. So maybe, hopefully, someday...

The shroomery admins are starting to remind me of those fuckers at the DEA. Let's create rules and ban things that are impossible to ban. People are still going to get troll ratings, now they just have to make a bogus reason for said rating. Just like people are going to still produce and sell drugs now they just have to do it more sneakily.
It's a completely futile effort and IMO just makes the admins look stupid for thinking that they can police this kind of thing.

now i hear the police comin after me
