History of the shroomery
    #1629708 -

I've been a member of the shroomery for about 3 months so I know little about its history.. there must be some interesting stories behind these pages? I remember reading about someone dying live on a webcam.. is that true? Who started the shroomery? when? where? ah so many questions.

If anyone has any facts about the shroomery, or any old favourite threads, I'd love to read about them here. thanks!

The shroomery fruited out of the mycellia of the Internet back in the old days. Then people started to register. Spores were spread. Stories were told. It was good fun had by all.

Someone died on a webcam? Thats aweful...but sort of interresting. Probably a hoax or something. I would like to hear more about that.

I'm afraid not. The guy's screenname was Ripper. The story made it all the way to People magazine.

Not to my knowledge, there was a lot of concern about negative publicity to the Shroomery and some actions were taken such as suspending new membership and hiding some of the forums from public view. The Shroomery was never named in any publication as far as I know.

it was mentioned in one publication for certain, I found the article from the website devoted to that kid who killed himself. I don't feel like searching for it again but they didn't mention the actual address of the shroomery (which is not very hard to figure out anyway), just said that members of The Shroomery egged him on.

Thing is, you can't condone what they said to him, but I get the impression he wanted to do it anyway.. Reading those logs, I never got the impression that they actually did want him to do that much. But the media latches onto it and suddenly its their fault that he did it. I don't buy it.

Eh, it read like a typical night in #shroomery to me, in terms of behaviour. Unfortunately someone actually died. IMO, his death barely has anything to do with the "dangerous internet chat room" as John Walsh called it.

I'm sort of surprised the shroomery's only had one (known) suicide. T3P has had 6 - 8 of them in the last three years, and that forum is just a handful of regulars. *shrug*

Arent you somewhere in Texas?  We just moved to DFW..  must find you..  must...

They WONT LET ME WRITE IN BLUE ANYMORE!  It has put a serious crimp into my quirkiness.  And, on top of that, nobody even knows how cool I am anymore.  Damnit, all those nekkid pictures and all for naught :wink:

I know that the last post in this thread was months ago, but I couldnt resist.

Cherry mentioned my shroomery history.. Here it is

My favorite thread of all time.... Link

It is in pieces, it appears some posts are missing, namely the first one.  It was probably one of the saddest most lost times in my life... and there were amazing people like FH that said such amazing things that touched me in ways I didnt even know text could.

I miss alot of people a very great deal.  Some of you changed my life or where there, live and in person at some pretty key parts of my life.. that made me who I am.

Brain, in an airport terminal.. how was the hard cider// lemonade// whatever?

Boba

GW

Pico

I did some mushrooms about 4 months ago and took a trip back to one of those nights -- a theme night in shroomery chat, when the whole internet felt like it was pulsing love around me.

I dont think people can understand if they werent here during that time.  How absolutely amazing it was.

Catpiss is an old tradition of shroomery. Its a cheap high but it works. People complain it doesn't work but usually they hadn't tried it with a tabby.

The sticky notes technique was pretty hysterical. It'd be worth researching this a bit.

Another incident of historical fame my be when I think Wasted Spores had a fake girlfriend he was getting everyone all excited about, posting pictures and whatnot. Until someone found the porn site where he was getting the pictures, he'd really pulled a number on a lot of people.

Also wasn't there a character like ChickSquak or something like that. Would jump into message threads and IRC and make chicken noises. I think that was before my time.

Research this stuff people! I was so glad to here the origins of STAL voting options.

I wasn't going to IRC those days. It was a tragic incident, but to me the shroomery is/was so many other things. I guess for people new to it, they will focus on it because well it was so tragic. Its good people know the truth though. You have to be careful about who you listen to, and you can't just take pills willy nilly. Myself, I don't eat pills for fun. I wouldn't take them if a psych prescribed them. I think its more human to work through such problems rather than fix it with a prescription.

But I'll smoke a bowl, and will probably trip some more in my life.
