Y'all can not see it.

But it has to do with that Hitler Vid with 'dem Pris jokes? Anyone got a link?

Really though, I am not allowed to talk openly about it. I mean, it does exist. No it doesn't. Yes it does.

We are not allowed to talk about what happens in there.

I do confess, however, it does exist.

And... we may be talking about YOU.

I've always wondered, does that[shrooms make you gay- analogy] apply to shrooms in general, or just the ones that make you see colors?

God I'm fiercely curious to see that even though I never will.


Are you all gossip girls up there or do you keep things pretty on-issue/only for legit issues?

Or do you just talk about trends in general? You guys must've had a hell of a thread trying to figure out what to do with Filet o Fish (or hell, me when I was DXMing my ego to burst :lol:).


That video is the funniest thing I've seen in the last few days and I watched Walk Hard and about an hour of videos on the Onion today :kaneclap:

I'm good man,  been busy with school lately, which kinda sucks but it's worth it.

Other than that, I'm doing OK, I guess.. Just got a great weed connection, dank nugs for 3-4€ less a gram, than the usual price :highdog:

Hmm... Vinsue's reply kind of clued me in that this post itself might be indicative of what you're implying.



I don't actually want to be a moderator or even really a system administrator. I'm not even great at web design per se (never used CSS :tongue:) but if you need functional stuff implemented or to make something smart, I'm your man. To be honest, I think they feel pretty set with the current mod staff and I think it's a good one but I think being a mod would be a TON of work/a big responsibility. Mods and all, feel free to chime in... we hate to gossip about you in front of you :teehee:

I think while maybe I'm being a bit soft here, your view might be a little far in the opposite direction but you've been here a LOT longer than I have.


A perfect way to combat this would be to have an annual "purge" wherein one moderator is eliminated based on an anonymous vote, but the management seem to be close knit and old friends so this might actually cost a member and just has bad vibes written all over it.


I think there are a lot of bricks in the wall here, but how else do you get a building? And there are a LOT of members that this place outright would not be the same without, period. Don't you think? :sun:

Also, XUL, I think the introduction of user-created forums represents a step in the right direction away from what you experienced all those years before I even registered.

And thanks so much dude! After an excruciatingly idle year, I'm starting to think busy is the way to go man :asianofapproval: :asianthumbup:

Glad to hear you got you a good connection. I've got one now that is cheap enough to deal from but I feel like this would not bode well living with my parents.

Yet how many drug dealers here are living with their parents... Suburbia is weird. I think something collectively broke the upper middle class millineals. God my spelling sucks right now.

Oh, right! I seem to remember that vaguely now. Coming out as gay in 2006 was mortifying. Transgendered people have a courage I don't think any of us can quite comprehend (and seriously, think about it: being trans can still mean life or death depending on if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, and many times this "wrong" is specifically out for you just like they were chasing us poofs around before that).

I think you're missing the point. In a place like this you need only a handful of programmers and administrators (and mods). But you need a legion of people to share their thoughts, interesting content and whatnot. You contribute a lot more to the community by being here and interacting with others, consuming and producing at the same time, than if you were to add lines of code to an already undoubtedly jumbled mess.

Which team will work better in the end: the one where there's 20 people doing actual work and 1 coordinating the effort, or the one where 3 are doing some work and the other 18 are bickering about how those 3 should be doing it?

Many have helped me and I have helped some, even if it was only one. Look at the collective on the GHB from yeast thread, how is that not positive feedback?

Not to forget about our cultivation forums :smile:

We have user forums and we're not talking about you, Cervantes.:nicekitty:

This is not a place where you can offer to lend a helping hand and work together to build something wonderful.




I think you're missing the point. In a place like this you need only a handful of programmers and administrators (and mods). But you need a legion of people to share their thoughts, interesting content and whatnot. You contribute a lot more to the community by being here and interacting with others, consuming and producing at the same time, than if you were to add lines of code to an already undoubtedly jumbled mess.

Which team will work better in the end: the one where there's 20 people doing actual work and 1 coordinating the effort, or the one where 3 are doing some work and the other 18 are bickering about how those 3 should be doing it?




Quitter! :tongue:

Honestly, from years of experience in corporate programming, computer science education (as a student and as a TA) and a couple stints doing computer science (-based) research, the better option is actually just 3 people working together period but if you've got 21 people anyway you definitely want them in the former configuration rather than the latter.

The advent of version control (i.e. subversion) made the patchwork coding thing a lot less messy.

Really it looks like infrastructure may be a bigger issue in the near future, and I mean that to especially include how and where they may have programmed certain things in a way that doesn't scale well.

There was some O(N^3) shit running somewhere this morning, that's for sure :wink: (JK but I haven't had an excuse to bring up big-O notation in literally years now so I couldn't resist :justcantwait:)

Well, from years of experience in management science including a PhD in the field, I can say it's really not a universal law that small team size creates more or better output :wink: It really depends on a lot of other facts, starting with the nature of the work.

Anyway, I agree that proper version control (among others) certainly can make teamwork in software engineering perfectly feasible, but the question is how much programming work really needs to be done in a place like this.

One of the reasons why I'm currently being called a quitter by Cervantes (;)) is that I think the primary risk to a community like this is that overorganization. You can cuddle it to death by not resisting the urge to meddle with it. Really, it works pretty well - I honestly don't think there's a need for a huge staff.

Seems like you've got a bit more in the credentials on this one, Dr. Koraks :cool:.

I agree (though I've certainly got loss perspective) and I was figuring for running the Shroomery, but then again this site got fucking big so for 3 people, buuut as you were implying it would take a lot more work to build than to maintain.

If you think about it, though, pretty big undertakings aren't uncommon: chat from last year, user created forums now, how to customize everything to deal with Sheekle's account (:lol:)... this could represent a fair bit of coding.

I did notice that some cuddles (well stated about that BTW) were here and GONE, like that lovely "theme" button, but I've been seeing a TON of a certain middleeastern gentleman denying that anythings wrong lately.

You never wondered why Microsoft's output is so low compared to their number of employees lately? Well, there's your answer. Shroomery outsourced some stuff.

But it has to do with that Hitler Vid with 'dem Pris jokes? Anyone got a link?

Really though, I am not allowed to talk openly about it. I mean, it does exist. No it doesn't. Yes it does.

We are not allowed to talk about what happens in there.

I do confess, however, it does exist.

And... we may be talking about YOU.

For larger projects though, of course you're going to need thousands of peeps to make a comprehensive EMR suite or something.

That's really neat the field you're in!
