Free Spore Rings.

I tried posting this earlier but I don't think that it went through (If it did I'm sorry for reposting). I guess the Canada spore ring is now generally agreed to be defunct. People seem to be getting their spore prints from Free Spore Ring Earth (Europe). Has anyone looked into this one http://profungos.com.br/ ? It seems like it was up-to-date at least through the end of last year.

A few years ago I donated a bunch of prints to a small spore ring from south america somewhere. I met the people through shroomery. Wonder if its the same people. There was some drama back then too wonder if its the same people/spore ring?

Yea it is the same guy. OP he hasnt been seen here since nov last year.
It would be nice to have another spore ring in NA. I think it might be pretty thankless work for nothing though. I can just see so many people abusing it like crazy. I used the european one once they sent me 2 prints. I sent them back like 4-5 and I sent the canadian one like 20 B+ prints I had no use for. I wonder how many people actually send back?

Free spore rings should request that people send fractional prints. I don't see why you need a whole one since a liquid culture is so damn easy to make.

I mean at this point it just seems like having one well established spore ring in the world that isn't gonna up and run off with everyone's prints and donations is nice and since everyone knows it's FSRE they should just donate to them.
After all the other American spore rings have failed it kind of just seems like they're not meant to be. Although it sure would be nice to have someone operating in this hemisphere.
And if not through external spore rings at least there's still opportunity for individual trading here.

Don't see a NA ring working well, to much room for failure.

Does anyone know how someone (or a group of people) would go about starting a free spore ring? How would you go about convincing people you are not just going to take their spores? Not to be absurd, but I would totally be interested in doing this, As I have a good amount of money for startup, and a decent amount of free-time. I'm also fairly good at programming and could get a website going pretty quick.
Does anyone have any info on how you'd get started on this?

Programming a website would be risky, as things could be "subpoenaed" by the man. Mailing list, google groups? Simple is better.
